Wisconsin Narcotics Officers Association: NORML "A front for full legalization"

If it wasn't bad enough that NORML was attacked by a couple legislators and the Wisconsin Narcotics Officers Association at the 12/15 JRMMA hearing, their lobbyist has now attacked us in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel! This is how bad they want to try to stop medical matijuana in Wisconsin, and everyone who cares should be disgusted by these attempts to deny the will of the people!

A FRONT FOR FULL LEGALIZATION
The Wisconsin Narcotics Officers Association agrees with state Rep. Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa) that medical marijuana is a "facade."
Testimony that is based on science clearly shows that marijuana is a marginal painkiller at best, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not approve it, and if Wisconsin passes legislation, our laws would become contrary to federal law.
The parade of people with real medical concerns at the Madison hearing on Senate Bill 368 and Assembly Bill 554 was sad, because those backing this effort are using them to reach their goal of expanded legal marijuana use.
Behind the scene, NORML (National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Law) is driving the engine, and the sick as well as well-meaning lawmakers are being used.
Polls show Wisconsinites are behind medical marijuana, I suggest dropping the word medical and ask our citizenry if we want marijuana.
Make no mistake, this is a foot in the door. It is marijuana legislation, and it is not genuine to refer to it as medical.
