Founder of Drug Policy Alliance Drops Science

May 22nd, 2009 by Rick

Ethan Nadelmann, the founder and executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, paid a visit to the Happy Hour on Fox Business and discussed the hot issue of legalizing pot.

The ignorance behind the supposed fair and balanced network is the fact that they showed a clip of a high Schwarzenegger back in his days of pumping iron. Host Rebecca Diamond makes a comment on the clip that it was hilarious. The clip basically showed a mellow, relaxed and happy Arnold — what was so damn funny about that?

The other clip was of his press conference where he talked about how we should look at how other countries have handled their drug policies. Did you notice the laugh track that was then placed on that segment? That’s what I’d like to call subliminal rape and the mainstream media have become pros at it.

The irony behind this interview is the fact that it took place within a bar, while Diamond focuses on bringing up every antiquated myth that the war on drugs has produced. The hypocrisy of bad mouthing a plant that has proven medicinal value while sitting in front a legal drug that kills and ruins lives, knows no bounds.

Fair and balanced? More like fixed and deranged.

    HAH!

    If Rebecca Diamond is a reporter then I’m a rock
    star. She did the whole story because *she*
    doesn’t like the smell of cannabis in her building.

    Now I remember why I never watch Faux News.

    P.S. I don’t fully understand your headline. I thought it
    was a negative against Ethan.
