Tainted beef recalled . Obama drug czar confiscating marijuana
This is just ironic over load. The nation's beef supply is poisonous, but the government is after medical marijuana.
Why aren't they after cattle abusers? How many marijuana poisonings reported? Salmonella?

:grr: What a freaked up country we live in.


Most beef cattle are castrated, de-horned, and branded, painful procedures performed without any anesthesia. For seven months, calves graze on the range before they are transported to feedlots, where they are fattened on unnatural diets. Within six months, they reach market weight of 1,200 pounds and are trucked to slaughter. As with other animals to be killed for food, cattle are not given any food, water, or protection from the elements during the journey.

Even though Kerlikowske’s former city is famously tolerant of marijuana — which is less harmful and less addictive than America’s most popular, legal intoxicant, alcohol — that did not stop America’s new drug czar from demeaning the president’s position on medicinal use, telling a crowd in Fresno, California on Wednesday that marijuana is “dangerous” and “has no medical benefit,” according to The Fresno Bee.

1. Hopefully Obama will fire the ignorant bastard.
Damn, this is like Ashcroft all over again. (And the courts kicked his ass.)
