In 1972 President Richard Nixon commissioned a group of conservative scientist to rubber stamp his war on cannabis...instead he got the truth in the form of the Shaffer Commission.
The Shafer Commission issued its report on marijuana policy on March 22, 1972-30 years ago. President Nixon ignored the scientific advice he was given. The Netherlands, which had a similar commission, did not. Today, marijuana use in Holland is half that of the U.S.
