Justice Minister Alison Redford Is A Liar

On whether Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol:

"It is more harmful and whether you're talking about an addiction to marijuana or alcohol it's having a tremendous impact on people."

According to the BBC, 1/25 deaths worldwide are attributable to alcohol.

How many deaths are attributable to marijuana use? That's right, none. Marijuana simply is not toxic enough. How many people are addicted to marijuana? Oh that's right, none, because it is not physically addictive, unlike alcohol, which can actually kill you if you try to give it up cold-turkey. Of course, this doesn't matter, because truth, logic, reason, and rationality don't matter the justice minister. Why don't they? Is she just stupidly deluded, or does she have an ulterior motive? I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, and assume that instead of being an evil liar, she's just too stupid and lazy to pick up a medical textbook, or scientific journal, or even turn on the television. She probably wouldn't care either that the most effective cure for alcoholism is LSD therapy, but who cares about curing 50% of alcoholics when you can cure 2% instead. It's simple numbers, and Alison Redford obviously doesn't care about people, or human rights, freedoms or liberties. I have lived in Alberta all my life, and I love this province, but the sheer ignorance of our elected politicians is making it nearly impossible for a politically and socially aware individual like myself to continue living in this place I love. Cardiff, here I come. Allahu Akbar!
