WHOA Who the fuck is this guy kevin sabet? Recently said…. “How can we imagine that a dangerous, illegal drug like marijuana should be voted on by the people? That’s not how we do medicine in this country.” Those words, spoken by a federal drug-control official, are emblematic of the contempt Washington has for the common man.

So the federals think the ”people” (us who live in this country) shouldnt have a say on anything ? This is really starting to get on my nerves. im tired of this governemt trying to control us like were some animals. WE are ALL people! Humans! So i dont understand why a little group (government) should be telling us whats good and not good for us AND saying we shouldnt have a say in our laws. That is so messed up. THERE IS NO COMMON SENSE IN THIS COUNTRY ANYMORE! We dont need this government, god damn no wonder other countries hate us. Stuck up little rich kids in the white house.

Dr. Sabet, I have provided the hyperlink to the entire article and our readers can decide for themselves whether I have taken you out of context.

You cite Wexler et al, “Indeed, many criminal justice practitioners believe that court mandates can “motivate” otherwise “unwilling” addict offenders into treatment” If you have a different context you’re trying to pass on, I’d like to know how I’m misreading this.

The paper looks at a massive increase in drug treatment numbers for New York City for marijuana. The massive increase is fueled by arresting people for marijuana and sentencing them to rehab. Then drug warriors use the increase in rehab attendance for marijuana to claim that marijuana is so much more addictive today.

In order to accept any of the premises you lay out in your paper, one has to accept that someone who uses marijuana is an addict per se, and that arresting people for marijuana use is somehow bettering society.

I would enjoy consulting with you by telephone at any time convenient for you, as long as I can record it for the podcast.

I’m sorry you missed the entire point of the article. It’s amazing what one can decipher when cutting snippets of an article out of context. For example, when you assert the following, it is almost laughable:

“Of course, the real underlying false premise here is that someone arrested for possession of marijuana in New York City is an addict in need of rehabilitation.”

I never wrote that, and I’d appreciate it if you tried to consult with me first before speculating on my intent.
