Conservative think tank guru

Joins lobbying group against marijuana legalization.


Marijuana use is too risky a choice

Some good quotes:

Yet as a parent of three, two exiting adolescence and one entering, I've found that the argument that makes the biggest impression is: "Marijuana is illegal. Stay away." I think many other parents have found the same thing.
When we write social rules, we always need to consider: Who are we writing rules for? Some people can cope with complexity. Others need clarity. Some people will snap back from an early mistake. Others will never recover.

"Just say no" is an easy rule to follow. "It depends on individual risk factors, many of them unknowable in advance" -- that rule is not so easy.

To sum it up: "Marijuana should remain illegal because...legalization is hard on the plebes."

I love how the news channels adopt new phrases like **Think Tank** lol,
i imagine a group of guys sat there , head in hands,
Martin Brundle tried it this year on the Sky F1 channel with his " The *Delta*between Alonso and Vettel was 2.3 seconds blah blah,
the other commentators didn't follow suit they just looked confused......

Plebs.

hmm comparing a "conservative think tank" to a highly trained F1 driver doesnt fit IMO

Think Tank used to mean something good as in
assembling bright minds together to work on problems

Now all it means is getting a bunch of like minded assholes together to figure out a way to make a shit sandwich sound tasty to the stupid
