Between hash foods and vaporisation, there are plenty of "healthy" ways to ingest the wonder drug that is THC. The fact that smoking it wrapped in papper is bad for you is kind of like saying... Huffing paint or aerosoles are bad for you.... BAN THEM

or when people were burned for thinking the Earth was round.

Re: The War on Some Drugs
I got down to the comments and it looks like one of the bloggers wrote to his Member and she responded both with her disappointment and also CCed him into a copy of a correspondence she directed to the Homeland Security Minister
