Sanjay just went up a few notches in my regard for him. I had been neutral before, but must admire the man for his honest statement, especially that part in which he acknowledges his role in having misinformed the public.
That's okay because he just lost all respect and professional standing in my mind. A real man understands that Morality is more important any medical or scientific testing. It's just that simple.
Morality? You kid yourself.

I suspect a lot of people in authoritative positions would have come forth admitting they knew very little what they were talking about, in regard to marijuana, had it been not so politically incorrect to do so.
Now that pot usage is almost as common as drinking Coca Cola in our society, enjoying widespread tolerance and even total acceptance, all of a sudden it's, "well, maybe pot isn't that bad after all."
Well, I got news for these newly enlightened dumbasses. We've been telling you for 40 goddamn years that pot isn't this evil devil weed these whacko, "stuck-in-the-50's," people have been lying about for decades. The people who change their minds, based on what they think people will think of them, rather than factual reality, have already shown their true colors. It matters not, if all of a sudden, they discover pot isn't so bad. They could have listened years ago. They are still dumbasses.
Just my two-cents.
Not in the least. This country and western society in general has spent the last two centuries trying to "progress" beyond morality and values. When will you folks learn - Morality and Values will ALWAYS exist, no matter how much you try to ignore them?
You're right, because freeing the slaves and letting women vote had nothing to do with morality and values. :roll:
You only have respect for authoritarian figures anyways.

Of course they were related to volumes and morals. One was the right decision and the other was not. I'll leave you to figure out which is which.
Takes a real man to admit when he's wrong, especially in the public spotlight.
CNN's chief medical expert Sanjay Gupta announced Wednesday night that he has reversed his blanket opposition to marijuana use.
Speaking to Piers Morgan, Gupta, who has a documentary on weed airing on Sunday, said he had previously helped to "mislead" the American public about the effects of the drug.
"I have apologized for some of the earlier reporting because I think, you know, we've been terribly and systematically misled in this country for some time," he said. "And I did part of that misleading."

I've read enough of your posts here to understand your moral compass is spinning. Your moral standards are very close to those of John Yoo and George W. Bush or Dick Cheney--extremely low.
Science is then the antithesis of morality for morality is subjective and cannot be quantified.
Tigger is in favor of slavery! (pass it on).
If you seriously think giving women the right to vote, however belatedly it was done, was the wrong decision, then that does fit with the philosophy you've posted before on this forum.

If something ends up being non harmful and non detrimenetal to people it stops being not moral. Also taking drugs is NEVER immoral unless it hurts other people.
I would not suggest that pot is either non-harmful or non-detrimental to people. I would also suggest that ANYTHING which does damage to the soul, as the use of pot does, is ALWAYS immoral.
Except it doesn't do damage to the soul ...
In fact the majority of the damage it does is to the soul, even more than what it does to the body. One cannot ingest or otherwise use a mind-altering substance without doing damage to the soul.
