What's the sliding scale between "fact-BASED" and Actually True? Here's
a hint: it begins to turn away from facts and towards oom-galla-galla at
the point where someone would sprinkle a little mary jane in their soup
for muscle aches & arthritis rather than buy more Aleve or Vicodin quite
as soon. Then its about money. That's the point at which it changes from
one of God's plants into Satan's Strap-On.

Agreed. However, its less on marijuana proper and more in a bid to
protect the textile, liquor and pharmaceutical industries, whose
lobbyists hang upside down and drink blood. Imagine how those would
suffer if space cakes and fibers that lasted 15-20 years instead of 5
became free-range.
Besides, conservative fundies are big on Numbness, down on Glee
(especially ours) and are hence into the booze-o-rama. Simple and
frigging godawful. They should be submerged in llama vomit and made to
listen to the "Teen Titans" theme as sung by 7-year-olds and played back
at double-speed.

As long as it's a violent war against Violent Crime.
Preferably with big hammers.

Smoking marijuana is a crime which sometimes involves violent coughing. It all
comes down to semantics.

how about a War on Wars? they could all get together in some Bobforsaken
place like Afghanistan, or Idaho, or Wangaratta, and then blow the
bejasus out of each other. and someone could sell tickets.

why not just a war on violence? any-one who has a gun shoots any-one else
with a gun, until there is only one moron left who can get a big trophy and
be congratulated for winning

Albert Camus had a pamphlet like that
for WWII--the people who are doing
this are beyond logic, beyond reason.
