Slide 2:

Slide 3:
These unlikely statistics do not come from some bogus lobby like NORML (The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws), which is nothing more than a front for people, healthy or terminally ill, who want to get high on marijuana without criminal penalties or the increased cost of illicit drugs. There is an effective and acceptable alternative to marijuana. The substitute is the prescription drug Marinol, which comes in tablet form and contains THC, the psychoactive ingredient that provides the euphoria or “high” of marijuana.
Slide 4:
The culprit du jour is the most dangerous health threat in America today, cigarettes and the 60 carcinogenic chemicals hiding inside the product’s delivery system, waiting after a 30-year incubation period to damage the heart and lungs of its victims. The suspicious 80 percent addiction rate of tobacco users no longer seem suspicious when we learn the statistic’s impeccable source, Neal Benowitz, M.D., Chief of Clinical Pharmacology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Benowitz also supplied the addiction rates of the other drugs listed above.
Slide 5:
There are obvious reasons that heroin and other narcotics are legally proscribed and incur stiff criminal penalties while cigarettes are available at liquor stores everywhere. There is no lobby for heroin or crack cocaine users, while tobacco producers and the growth industry of prison construction support the criminalization of drugs. The motivation for prison-construction companies comes from an indisputable statistic provided by the U.S. Department of Justice: 36 percent of the federal prison population consists of non-violent drug offenders.
Slide 6:
If the anti-tobacco crowd had any political clout and if any other product shortened the lives of its customers so dramatically, cigarette possession and manufacture would be felony offenses. The victims of three-pack-a-day habits who weren’t deterred by prison-time or health problems might be deterred by the increased cost due to criminalization and the additional risks street dealers who sell cigarettes would face.
