“When I was in the Army in 1963 in Fort Riley, Kan., it was at best 2 percent pure,’’ he said.

So..... uh, he smoked pot in the army? What is this guy trying to say? Did he perform scientific tests on cannabis? Is he just guessing.... or maybe just lying?

Regardless, he should consult somebody with any real learning on the matter,
perhaps a few of the folks on this message board.

This is the best part.

Stronger pot is more addictive, Van Haaften believes. He said 23 percent of Iowans receiving substance abuse treatment are trying to kick a marijuana habit, compared with 16 percent who are addicted to meth. Alcohol addiction tops the substance abuse list, afflicting 52 percent of those in treatment.

Wow, alchohol wins again. And as for the 23 in treatment for cannabis, I wonder how many are forced to go? And you would have to consider everyone that buys nicotine suppliments to be in treatment for cigarette abuse. But, then again, "Marihuana" is EXTREMELY dangerous, and by by all means we must protect the children.(PotShot Note:Or then again, maybe we must protect the system, and our god damned economy)

Im sure most of them WERE forced to go, to excape fines or possible jail time. And as for Meth, it's way more addictive then alcohol, and probly the most addictive drug sold on the streets. In some places up here it's almost as common as pot, and that's not good.

The facts are the government is putting those supposed "reefer" addicted patients into treatment facilities because they got busted, or are minors with propaganda stricken parents. Is this guy really trying to say weed is more addictive than meth? Please, the 2% figure is BS to, my mom used to smoke bud just as good as the bud i smoke today and i know people who smoke ****ty herb. Its always been around. Weed isnt addictive, the thought of quitting because of no good reason besides its illegality which is not what this country is for, FREEDOM. The govt is denying every american the freedom to smoke.

the whole reason pot is illegal is economics. If "they" legalized it enough money would be generated for all of us to be equal, and we can't have that. And let's face facts, we'd all pay $20 for a pack of "Doobie Lights." the national debt would be paid off in about two weeks.
