Most people would never think to compare the sport of football to smoking marijuana. To prove a point, retired Professor Julian Heicklen made that comparison last night during a panel discussion on the legalization of marijuana. Football is extremely criminal.
Football is more dangerous then marijuana, but football is legal.
Heicklen reiterated his viewpoints he has presented repeatedly in his weekly marijuana protests to promote personal liberties. He cited moral, economic, social, crime-reducing and medicinal reasons for legalizing the drug. Croll, who is also the assistant director of the Office of Health Promotion, then presented a stance on legalization based on a public health standpoint. It creates a chemical dependency that leads to addiction. Bernard took a neutral stance on the topic, commenting on the points presented by Heicklen and Croll.
