Did I just hear a United States representative say, “They probably started off with milk and then went to beer, and then they went to bourbon, and then they might have gone to marijuana. The gateway theory doesn’t work. It’s a reality.”?
Holy crap, there is hope for reason in this debate!

Aerion Six: If you combine fuel and air, compressed, and then powdered flint, the bullet will certainly work... 
Ed: Actually the more I think about it… This seems like the Marilyn Manson argument… Marilyn Manson is... Ed: Good to know if something like this is real or not. Is something like this real? No one really...

What beats it all is that this rejection of the drug war mantra is being made by a Tennessee Rep. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) has also introduced the Mickey Wright Act, to examine the racial disparities in our criminal justice system.
He really gets it.
I never realize until now that breast milk was my gateway to drinking beer. Life finally makes sense.
@spof: very well put..i couldnt have said it better..i hope and pray that this will indeed spark a new wave of progress and breaking the lies
My email to Congressman Cohen:
Sir,
I watched with great satisfaction your questioning of FBI Director Mueller. Thank you so much for holding him to task regarding progress on our southern border in regards to immigration and drug trafficking. I particularly enjoyed you reminding the Director that the gateway theory is a fallacy.
I am not a resident of Tennessee as I have noted in my personal information. Rest assured, sir, that regardless of my state of residence you most certainly represented me very well indeed.
Thank you!
LMAO! i just re-watched and i realized..is it just me or does the FBI dick actually look and sound
??
WOW!!!! That was brilliant! I wish more people in politics had the balls to stand up and say it like it is… Brilliant!
If only everyone thought like him in Washington. Its amazing the buzz right now for regulating marijuana, I hope it never goes away. If it does, it will never happen.
Can you believe it? A politician with the balls to tell it like it is. Maybe this will start a new trend, intelligent, rational debate based on fact instead of prohibitionist propaganda. I will definitely be writing to Rep. Cowen to let him know that I am a tax paying voter that appreciates his efforts.
:2thumb:
WOW! that calls 4 a celebratory
i must agree with russ we could actually have a chance with this debate, if they all go that way which they will cuz the facts are there now theres no escaping and agreeing with WakeUpDead when there put in a position like that they cant ramble on and dodge questions! yes victory is in there can u smell it lol or maybe its the smoke i just blew..lol oh well atleast it still smells good!
WOW, I’m totally blown away? When did this happen? Did CNN run this on TV?
I see, when these Prohibitionists are forced to tell the truth and can’t ramble or talk over people they speak the truth and facts! This totally verifies our “no deaths from Cannabis” position!
We should all write the Congressman and thank him for letting truth and facts run this interview/hearing. I hope he just opened a can of worms and we see some major press and true debating on this, if not this will be forgotten fast, I hope not!
Man, I can’t get over this…… WOW!
I am really impressed with Rep. Cowen…..and wrote him to say so…..hope you will
It is, to me, an absolutely stunning fact, that the racist ramblings of Harry J. Anslinger, over seventy years ago, are still accepted as the law of the land.
Gosh. I’m rather proud of the Congressman. I’m proud because he made perfect sense, and he’s from Tennessee. Thanks to Rep. Cohen and to all the people that wrote to him. Yep. It kinda sounded like he was on the peoples’ side.
Didn’t the FBI just go on record by saying that he couldn’t name a single person that had died from marijuana? Isn’t that a quotable? Hell, isn’t the whole interview a quotable now? Hehe… I enjoyed that vid.
This guy’s the new Ron Paul. Not bad!
you’re right mr reuben, I guess it’s official now. There’ve been NO deaths from marijuana in the entire history of mankind.
I’m surprised the FBI guy didn’t even hesitate to say there are no deaths from marijuana. Great Video
I just hope Congressman Cohen’s colleagues get to watch the video.
Many of them know nothing about marijuana but are willing to steadfastly vote against its legalization while they have the opportunity.
I agree Russ, this one is a biggie. Why cant this one be on CNN or Rush Limbaughs show? This needs to be played for the masses. Good people of Tennessee, write him and tell him you appreciate his representation of your state.
Damn straight… I like that guy. He seemed to know that Marijuana should be legal.
