On his radio show today, Dennis Prager said: “We have lost our minds on the tobacco issue. We have demonized [tobacco] that which should be a health issue and we have sanitized what [marijuana] should be a moral issue.
“The have confused health with morality. Tobacco has become the lead health issue. So we have more kids smoking marijuana than cigarettes.”
“Would you rather your kids smoked marijuana or cigarettes? I bet that over 50% would say marijuana is better. It isn’t even close for me. I would rather they smoke tobacco. I think marijuana says something about the larger child than tobacco does.”
“The purpose of marijuana is to effect the brain.”
Prager’s engineer plays bumper music taken from pop songs about marijuana. I grew up being told that drug music was evil.
Dennis: “Why do folks selling foreign cars know so much more about cars than folks selling American cars?”
