BUT, at the end of this study, they will have undeniable proof that pot is harmless, and this will open the door to declassification and legalization.

This is really a pretty big step.

Well, if you trust the government to have an unbiased, controlled study, to publish accurate results, and follow the recommendations/conclusions of their own study.

Didn't Nixon commission a marijuana study and actually ignored the results of his own study because they were not favorable to his pre-conceived conclusion?

one of his own aides said they created the war on drugs specifically to throw hippies and blacks in jail b/c they were politically opposed to him.

quote:
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people," former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper's writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.

"You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," Ehrlichman said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
