The media focus in this case is extremely disturbing as it *completely ignores* the most important aspect about this case - the fact that Mr. Eugene was able to consume any cannabis at all!



Cannabis is illegal in this country, and the fact that the toxicology report found that Mr. Eugene had been able to successfully obtain and consume some amount of it is a damning testament to the fact that **the prohibition doesn't work**!



THIS should be the big news here - whatever particular effect the cannabis may or may not have had should be very secondary. But the media is acting like it *expects* the prohibition to fail. In fact, it's acting like it so expects the prohibition to fail that this isn't even news!



This is outrageous! We taxpayers fund the prohibition to the tune of $40 Billion a year and it's now just taken for granted that it'll never work?!! I want my money back! The prohibition causes 850,000 arrests and 10,000 brutal murders every year - if it doesn't work then we HAVE TO END IT!
