I'm not sure how much stock I'd put into such a study, but I find it funny nonetheless. It's almost like the War on Drugs isn't working at all. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080701160706.4pl3ba3e&show_article=1

In reading this story, I have considerably more respect for Bush than before. I may not LIKE him any better, but it's interesting to see how his mind works. White House - AP NEW YORK - Private conversations with George Bush secretly taped by an old friend before he was elected president...

Well? i mean, Drugs man! bad, hello! MJ causes Cancer and all the science in the world couldn't convice me otherwise!
