DR. DAVE: And given Brad's well publicized penchant for wearing pro-Pot T Shirts around movie sets, I would guess he could become the Marlboro Man of cannabis culture. And that's what is so incendiary -- millions of health-minded people, who would not dream of smoking it now exactly because it is illegal, would take it up. You'd soon see the results of that, starting with auto traffic deaths alone.



BILL: I've been talking to someone who agrees with you -- Dr. Don Mullaney, the head of SeaSide Palm Beach and Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches. He reminded me that until 1906, "Coca-Cola contained cocaine and was legally sold as 'an intellectual's' beverage. Wines containing cocaine were extremely popular too, especially Vin Mariani, which managed to get endorsements from three popes, sixteen heads of states and 8000 physicians. So let's not forget that legalization could mean a return to all that." Dave, I'm not saying that legalizing pot will be an unalloyed blessing. I am saying that modern life often presents us with choices between the bad and the worse.
