>
> 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
