In its last few desperate days before what we can only hope will be a complete overhaul of its regime, the ONDCP is trying to spread as much disinformation as it can.

The office recently tried to spread the claim that there were more medical marijuana dispensaries than there were Starbuck’s locations in San Francisco. Knowing San Fran, who would ever believe that?

Here’s the link to the ONDCP’s erroneous article and further explanation of their shoddily pieced together map.

Regardless of your feelings on Starbucks, because I have no idea why people spend $5 on a cup of coffee, consider the fact that it’s not even close to true. Who knows where the government gets its statistics from, or why it continually chooses scare tactics that are completely ineffective?

The feds contend there are 98 marijuana dispensaries in San Francisco, compared to 71 Starbucks Coffee shops.

The Department of Public Health lists 24 dispensaries in the city that either have permits or are trying to obtain one.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out ONDCP…
