A few years ago Professor Bertha K. Madras directed creation of a Museum exhibit, a CD (licensed by Disney Corp. 2006) and play at the Museum of Science, Boston titled “Changing your Mind: Drugs in the Brain”.
What a timely title when discussing the criticism by NORML & aliae of President Obama and the Administration´s stance on marijuana.
At the 41st annual NORML national conference in Los Angeles, Stephen Gutwillig, Deputy Executive Director of the pro-drug Drug Policy Alliance, said “We have every right to be enraged at the Obama administration. They knew what the right thing to do on medical marijuana policy in this country was, and they’ve broken their promise in so many different ways. We have every reason to feel betrayed by this president.”
