Its aggravating when policy makers use data to support one set of policies but then inconsistently fail to use the same standard for other issues. If emergency room visits is going to be the standard then be consistent about it.
The nation's drug warriors plow ahead, driven by fear of a world where addicts clog the gutters.

"the
Obama administration notes that in 2009, marijuana was "involved
in" 376,000 emergency-room visits nationwide. Be afraid, be very
afraid: This represents less than 0.3 of 1 percent of all ER
visits, and 3.3 million fewer visits than are caused annually by
recreational sports."
