It could be argued that the most useless job in Washington, D.C., is
held by John Walters, director of the Office of National Drug Control

And as far as I can tell, all the study says is that teenagers who use
marijuana are more likely to have symptoms of depression. Analysis of trends
pretty much shows the depression causes the marijuana use, not vice-versa.

Which is a much weaker claim than "Reefer Causes Depression." If
alcohol makes depression worse, is that a good reason for a general
ban on alcohol?
Being in treatment doesn't prove you have a problem ... it can simply
mean that your parents have a problem, or that a fatheaded judge
thinks all marijuana use is an "illness."

How many other substance bans came about as simplest-possible
resolutions of ambiguities? None that I know of, whereas Joel's claim
was about many different bans.
Conclusions based on different forms of the same substance can't
directly be applied to completely different substances.
There's the door; I'm sure you know how to use it.

"Properly" means "all finished in five minutes".
Society would be a safer place if all those who sought sexual fulfilment by
interfering with small children or attempting to strangle their partner,
chose instead to partake of cannabis or cocaine.

Well if you were talking about a person then you would be
correct but you are talking about a government and the term psychosis
would not apply. Dysfunctional would apply I believe and the prisoner
of special interests would work.

you would be immediatly released but if you stopped taking previously
illegal drugs you be arrested and imprisoned again.
