Stoned Science

Ms. Fay,

Thank you for having the courage to defend the FDA in their fight against medical marijuana. I completely agree that it's time to shift the focus of this debate from politics to science. For too long, these medical marijuana activists have been cynically using old and sick people to advance their real cause of handing out joints in elementary schools. The story of Steve Kubby is a good example of how far they'll go. This man was diagnosed with a rare form of adrenal cancer over 20 years ago and told that he only had a few years to live. He started smoking marijuana and is still alive today and actively trying to change our drug laws. When these dope fiends manage to pull off a political stunt like that, it makes me realize how powerful an enemy we're up against.

I've been doing some research as well, and I realize that this phenomenon is far from new. In the 1930s even, get this: People wanted to use hemp plants to run their cars instead of gasoline! What craziness! Thankfully, the scientists at DuPont set us straight and it was a while before Cheech and Chong bothered us again with their crazy ideas about pot.

I am extremely grateful that this country is being run by people who put science ahead of politics, who aren't listening to these same silly naysayers trying to win elections by telling us the earth is getting warmer and we might run out of oil. There's no way we'll ever run out of oil. God would never let us run out of the things we need. It's called Intelligent Design. I learned it in science class.

In sobriety,
T.H.

P.S. I've written to Ms Fay before. She didn't reply. Also, please go here and take the poll to tell her what you think about student drug testing.
