General Barry McCaffrey
Office of National Drug Control Policy

Poor Barry, turns out he's not much of a poker player.

The video below features, former Drug Czar, General Barry McAffrey who is completely out manned and intellectually destroyed in an October 22nd CNN debate with sharp debaters from Law Enforcement Against Prohibition and the CATO Institute.

What's a soldier do when faced with no chance of survival? Call a bluff?

Yep, call a bluff.

The General starts by saying the debate "is filled with intellectual dishonesty" and then proceeds to tell two bold face lies, "the bluff".

The reps from LEAP and the CATO Institute call and take the hand.

Seeing that he's 0 for 2, The General presses on with this thing called marinol and a hail mary bomb with his contention that smoking is not medicine.

The General stands that Marinol is ok for medical use but smoking the cannabis leaf is harmful.

Is smoking the only method for consuming the raw cannabis plant?

No, just another "bluff".

The former drug czar, not aware of the new methods developed a few decades ago for taking medical cannabis? Pot brownies and vaporizers? Doesn't he realize that the majority of viewers have some experience with pot brownies and vaporizers?

Don't let them take you alive.

Anticipating getting called on his last "bluff", the General shoots himself in the foot, blurting out that Marinol is not a great medicine.

Gee, you think? And the raw cannabis leaf, General? It's a great medicine, just ask any medical user.

Anybody want to play poker with the General?
