The Party Line On Medical Marijuana In Oregon From A Sheriff And An "Addiction Specialist"

(Ed. note: This article demonstrates the symbiotic relationship between the narcs and the quackery of the pseudo-medical industry that depends on marijuana prohibition for a big part of its business. The narcs provide the quacks with "patients," and the quacks provide the narcs with "expert opinion" to maintain their power. In the late Soviet Union dissidents were sent to mental hospitals. In DEAland they are sent to drug rehab.

the U.S. would say the Chinese were brain washing me, but here I’m just being rehabilitated." 2 Letters
Yes, there were people in the USSR who really were mentally ill, just as there are people in DEAland who have substance abuse problems – sometimes involving cannabis. However, the statements by this licensed propagandist are so absurd that they should be an embarrassment to his "profession." The medical professions clearly need to clean their own house before they start telling the rest of us how to lead our lives.

If the sheriff’s views were personal rather than ideological, he would be a candidate for mental health treatment for paranoid delusions. If the "addiction specialist" could not get his patients from the courts, he would be only be a threat to the mental health of those who made the mistake of going to him. The combination of the two are a threat to both the rule of law and the practice of medicine. This is about a lot more than marijuana, but it is necessary to understand marijuana prohibition before one can fully grasp the depth of the problems.)
