I look at Salon and I honestly wonder.
Joan Walsh obviously follows the old Clinton-era philosophy that ignorance, prejudice and censorship are good things when it comes to cannabis.
That's why Salon wouldn't cover that huge breakthrough scientists made when they discovered that the active ingredients in marijuana suppress the gene that teaches breast cancer cells how to metastasize.
Do we want a government that is capable of digesting that research and making use of it to save lives?
Or do we want a government that censors this information and acts as if it never happened?
I fear that under Clinton, the whole government be just like Salon -- no cannabis science need apply, thank you.
I don't share Joan's philosophy that ignorance and prejudice and censorship can lead a society forward.
When ignorance and prejudice triumph, then death will climb on their backs and have a party.
