No substantial evidence links ma*****na to traffic accidents, domestic violence or cancer, yet pot is illegal and listed as a Schedule I controlled substance by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Meanwhile, alcohol remains legal despite the fact that it has been proven to contribute to many societal ills, including domestic violence and auto accidents.
In 2011 alone, an individual in the U.S. was arrested for ma*****na use, sale or possession every 42 seconds, according to the FBIβs Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program. Those numbers have been climbing.
Some of the obvious hypocrisy inherent to ma*****na prohibition is highlighted in a commercial that ran a brief stint before NASCAR audiences last month, until it was removed to preserve the βfamily atmosphereβ of the event, according to race organizers. The ad space for the commercial was purchased by the Ma*****na Policy Project (MPP), the largest ma*****na legalization advocacy group in the states, and the creators of the commercial.
The Huffington Post reported that MPP celebrated the commercial as: ββ¦ the first time a pro-pot campaign would be seen at a major sporting event. Organizers for the Brickyard 400 race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway disputed that claim, noting that the boards set to display the commercial were not technically on stadium grounds. When officials with the company that had allowed MPP to purchase air time caught wind of its pro-ma*****na message, they scrambled to take it down.β
