Quote
of
the
Week:
An
about
face
by
ex-general
McCaffrey
on
the
public's
ability
to
decide
the
medical
marijuana
issue
10/3/97
"I am not in charge of America... I'll provide information for
the debate, leaning heavily on the scientific-medical community. I'll inform
them of federal law. I'm not America's nanny. The American people are perfectly
capable, when they are exposed to the facts, of making up their own mind."
- Drug Czar Barry McCaffrey, 9/30, testifying to a congressional subcommittee
on medical marijuana.
We were just wondering, does Mr. McCaffrey mean to say that patients,
given the facts, should be permitted to make up their own minds?
