Just imagine how much stronger Obamas statement would have been if hed pointed out that way back in 1988 DEA Administrative Law Judge Francis Young examined all the available evidence regarding pots potential harms and wrote a ruling affirming that, Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances know to man.... In strict medical terms, marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume.” Not that such a definitive statement would have altered rhetoric from anti-pot conservatives like Sessions. Especially when the Senator from Alabama had his own cannabis expert to cite before the esteemed lawmakers in Congress: “Lady Gaga says she’s addicted to [marijuana],” Sessions testified, “and it is not harmless.” Of course, Obama never called pot harmless, he just said no more harmful than booze. But then again, who are you gonna believe, the President of the United States and every single actual pot smoker youve ever met in your life, or some Senator quoting the inventor of the meat dress? I think Ill believe every pot user Ive ever met.
