Only MSNBC reported it this way: Brian Williams said, "A new preliminary study shows that cocaine, heroin, ALCOHOL and marijuana all cause similar changes in the brain over time." But the picture and thrust of the story was still focusing on marijuana. What was COMPLETELY MISSING was shown on C-SPAN the previous day, when Senator Byrd gave an EXTENSIVE presentation showing ALCOHOL WAS THE LEADING GATEWAY DRUG TO COCAINE AND HEROIN USAGE! * "The Emperor Wears No Clothes", by Jack Herer, 1992, ISBN 1-878125-00-1 * * Tobacco smoking kills more people each year than AIDS, heroin, crack, * cocaine, alcohol, CAR ACCIDENTS, FIRE AND MURDER COMBINED. * * Cigarette smoking is as addictive as heroin, complete with withdrawal * symptoms, and the percentage of relapses (75%) is the same for "kicking" * cocaine and heroin users. * * It is far and away the number one cause of preventable death in the U.S. * today.

What a total hypocrisy! My dad has been to Europe once: "I didn't have time to sight-see when we hit the beaches though". He enlisted at 17, and was captured during the Battle of the Bulge, which involved General Patton.
