— The CNBC “Marijuana, Inc” YouTube promo sounds like the same ‘ole “Let’s get tough on that evil foliage of the Devil, and the degenerate scum who propagate it!” verbiage. I don’t see this one shedding any new light on 75 years of Anslingerism, only perpetuating the abyssmal lies of it.
— I am more interested, anyway, in seeing the perspectives shown by Dateline’s hour-long profile of the death of FSU graduate Rachel Hoffman, and how this news story compares to 20/20′s broadcast last July.

–(20/20 dealt directly w/ the tragic effects of Florida’s outrageously disproportial plant-product prohibition laws, and the flippant disregard for Rachel’s life by those who were supposedly sworn to ‘protect and serve’, yet put her in harm’s way, and left her to die).

— I don’t believe she ‘broke protocol’, as TPD claimed she did, but was, more likely than not, made to do so, (at gunpoint / by force), by the very thugs she was supposed to purchase the gun, coke and ectasy from.

Some episode about the Hudson River tragedy is airing. I really hope they air the Hoffman episode next week instead of holding on to it for a long time. That'd be so typical. NeuroGenesis is correct.
