ONDCP's Scott Burns has very tiny jointsScott Morgan takes it to the drug czar's office with A False and Embarrassing Press Release from the Deputy Drug Czar
Deputy Drug Czar Scott Burns tries to go after the decriminalization bill in New Hampshire and ends up getting it wrong big time, so much so that apparently lawmakers are passing it around for laughs.
Burns claims that the law would decriminalize "the manufacturing, possession, and/or distribution of 1.25 ounces or -- over 90 marijuana joints." The law would, in fact, only decriminalize possession of 0.25 ounces. And even in Burns' deluded world, he'd still have to be rolling 2.5 joints per gram (and under the actual law, he'd have to be rolling 13 joints per gram). Now it's true that people do have different sized joints, but generally one gram is average.
