MODERATORS
At least it is a step forward from the current state: "Cannabis is not broccoli and it is not allowed because it is forbidden".
BTW for the uninitiated: That's the actual quote from the former federal drug officer. No joke - we wished it was.
To be precise, that's two quotes by two different, consecutive federal drug officers. Mortler justified a cannabis ban with its status as an illegal drug, her successor Ludwig pointed out that cannabis isn't broccoli.
i'm not entirely convinced it's not broccoli. i need to do more tests.
Don't forget to get your results peer reviewed.
FOR SCIENCE!
Broccoli is a cultivar of Brassica oleracea, it's only a matter of time until cannabis does too.
I- what even- I'm speechless.
