       > COLUMBIA — Flanked by lawmakers, law enforcement officials and
       doctors in white lab coats, S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson
       called marijuana “the most dangerous drug” in America while
       denouncing legislation Wednesday that would allow patients to
       obtain it with a doctor’s prescription.
       >
       > Various speakers, which included State Law Enforcement
       Division Chief Mark Keel and leaders from the S.C. Medical
       Association, suggested the use of medical marijuana would cause
       a litany of problems in South Carolina: addiction, increased
       traffic accidents and — without specifically citing any
       peer-reviewed research — an increase in the number of overdose
       deaths.
       >
       > While standing in the center of the Statehouse lobby, Wilson
       rattled off slang describing the high from marijuana.
       >
       > “They use words like stoned, high, wasted, baked, fried,
       cooked, chonged, cheeched, dope-faced, blazed, blitzed, blunted,
       blasted, danked, stupid, wrecked — and that’s only half the
       words they use,” Wilson said. “Are these consistent with
       something that describes a medicine?”
       >
       > Wilson classified marijuana as the most dangerous drug because
       he said it was “the most misunderstood drug.”
       > [....]
       > After the news conference, the Medical Association said it
       disagreed with Wilson’s assessment that marijuana is “the most
       dangerous drug” in the country. Still, Seabrook argued the new
       legislation “will not improve the health of South Carolina.”
       >
       > Medical marijuana supporters at the Statehouse said Wilson’s
       comments and the overall tone at the news conference played on
       the public’s fears.
       >
       > “This is just hysteria,” said state Sen. Dick Harpootlian, a
       Columbia Democrat and former prosecutor.
       >
       > Nationwide, 33 states have set up regulations to allow for the
       legal use of marijuana for medical purposes. So far this year,
       15 S.C. lawmakers, including many of Charleston County’s
       legislative delegation, sponsored a bill to add South Carolina
       to that growing list.
       >
       > The newly proposed legislation would allow patients to obtain
       up to two ounces of marijuana every two weeks — an amount that
       Wilson said is too much for a patient to use in that time.

       I'm surprised he didn't have a showing of Reefer Madness, too!
       What a laughing stock!

       threatening to them is the money they will lose over not being
       able to set people up steal their assets and put them into
       private prisons. The doctors are also going to lose loads and
       forfeit their lap dances because people will be able to control
       pain without addictive expensive chemical pills. They will also
       be unable to use pot to allow criminal informant to get blanket
       immunity while they set up their friends for cash and drugs so
       it is a lose lose situations for the corrupt and a win win for
       people
