again thanks for this excellent article and links. I could recommend a book, or a chapter from a book called Reefer Madness by Schlosser. on the same topic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis the article is an interesting read. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,6903,1385987,00.html the above article carries a very good example of covert propaganda - or journalistic dishonesty. the author writes: it gives the impression that as if aid is given to muslim countries, whereas the author should have said 'israel'. http://www.wrmea.com/backissues/1297/9712043.html http://www.stop-us-military-aid-to-israel.net/ http://www.wrmea.com/html/us_aid_to_israel.htm -- it is a passing remark, but a serious one i think. discuss.
