What has happened to this place? We must be infested with Freepers or maybe some people who call themselves Democrats but still buy BS from the right. Some kind of fumigation should be done to clean up DU.

If you do your own research as and self-respecting liberal should, you know damn well marijuana is not only less harmful than alcohol, but beneficial in many ways. Don't be cowardly and give in to RW propaganda.
