The reality is that those who suffer from Reefer Madness need rehab to undo all the lies that have been the constant propaganda war against reefer (whose use, Anslinger noted, made blacks think they were equal to whites as justification for prohibition.)

It's hard for govts to admit they have been lying to people for more than 70 years and have waged a war on minorities and liberals under the guise of concern for people's health and welfare.

Now that cannabinoids have shown amazingly positive health benefits, the move has been to pretend cannabis is dangerous while synthetics, which may be patent protected, are better.

The WoD is an example of oppressive, unnecessary govt. involvement in adult lives.
