Feb 25, 2004Ecstasy and Government Science
Government science will always give the answer that government wants and the answer that government wants always leads to more power for government. This principle is clearly demonstrated in the way a federally sponsored researcher has handled questions about the drug Ecstasy up until now. However, Dr. George A. Ricaurte retracted his 2002 article, which supplied the crucial support for the drug’s prohibition. I ask you though; does anyone think that the government will stop arresting people for using Ecstasy just because the dangers of its use turn out to be non-existent?
