Luke has his facts established and quotes research papers.
Most of the anti's that encounter him aren't able to respond to a coherent well argued counterarguement.
That Kenny woman typifies this trait.
That plus the error of putting cannabis in the same catagory as heroin, crack etc.
Then you have the gateway drug arguement.

In 2000 the Women's Institute in Britain gave Tony Blair the slow hand clap to demonstrate their contempt.
It was dignified, restrained and effective.Doesn't Bertie deserve the same scorn. No shouting, no abuse, no agression just a relentless slow clap whenever he speaks in public would be enough to end that man's presidential fantasy.
If you agree copy the signature in to yours and lets get the whole country slow clapping Bertie.
