Since when is ok for the DEA to dictate how other countries conduct their affairs? How is anyone in society protected by locking up people simply for consuming Marijuana?? Look into the history of marijuana laws in general, it's a lesson in lies,fear, & the scaring of unknowing citizens, Far more people drive while on Alcohol, than on Marijuana, & stiff penalties already exist which apply to both. FACT: Driving after consuming ANY substance is illegal & dangerous, & there are fools who drink & drive, but should we ban alcohol because of that? NO. Marijuana is Non-Addictive, & far safer than Tobacco, which is addictive, & Alcohol, also addictive. I say this to anyone who can think for themselves, "Instead of letting these prohibitionists do your thinking, & forming of your opinion, I challenge these people to do some genuine research on actual FACTS on Marijuana, before forming any opinion. Look at the whole truth, Marijuana consumers should have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. Dare to think for YOURSELF. The entire US spawned Anti-Marijuana laws, & the DEA, must stop intimidating other countries, Must Stop lying about marijuana to the media, Enough of this "We are protecting the children smokescreen-tactics which seems to be the new excuse the DEA is using now, to scare US voters into doing away with US States medical marijuana policy. The war against Marijuana is just waste of resources!! & needs to stop NOW.
