FBI Director Taken to School
May 26th, 2009 by RickDirector of the FBI Robert Mueller, is the latest drug warrior to be schooled on the subject of marijuana prohibition, this time by Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen.
The fact that Mueller and the other drug warriors actually believe that kids in high school and college are having less access to drugs is ludicrous. When that idea was shot down by Rep. Cohen, saying that there are studies saying that more kids and adults are trying marijuana, Mueller has to back peddle and do what every other drug warrior does — avoid the issue at hand and incorporate all the drugs together (including pharmaceutical) and start talking about deaths.
Rep. Cohen stays on point and has Mueller admit that marijuana has of yet caused any deaths. When his argument on that front is squashed, Mueller resorts to the “gateway theory,” saying that if you talked with the parents of those that died from drugs, they would tell you that it started with marijuana.
Rep. Cohen doesn’t skip a beat in dismantling the gateway theory, saying that before marijuana there was probably milk, then beer, then maybe a Bourbon… then they tried marijuana. It’s a reality, not a gateway.
