Scott Burn's Big Day Out
 |
Scott Burns, drug czar of America, has done the fair people of Arcata the pleasure of granting them a visit. As usual, Mr. Burns is in fine form, and even takes time out for an interview with the Arcata Eye... In which he proceeds to insult and criminilize the entire county:
Eye: Is it realistic to keep marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug, in with cocaine and heroin?
Burns: Yes it is, and I’ll tell you why. … You can’t talk to a counselor in this country, Republican or a Democrat or an independent or a Marxist, and they will tell you, political beliefs aside, everyone that is addicted to drugs in this United States, started with either alcohol and/or marijuana, and they started when they were 13, 12 or 11. That doesn’t mean everyone that used those substances goes on to be a heroin addict, but you don’t have to have an IQ over 120 to figure out that if you can keep young people off marijuana, you can keep them from being addicted for life.
The last thing I’ll say is, we were talking about Nora Volkov, the head of NIDA, National Institute of Drug Abuse, who before said there is no correlation between smoking pot and rewiring and damaging the developing brain of young people, who now will tell you unequivocally that there is. Because of the higher potency, it is the same as cocaine and methamphetamine and heroin. They see it from the MRIs, the PET scans. They also are seeing psychosis and other mental problems from young people smoking this higher potency, which frankly should be called marijuana 2.0, drug. So yeah, it should remain a schedule 1.
Yep, you heard it here first - weed: it's the same as meth and crack.
