Overheard in the House:



Steve Cohen

“Listen up: here in this country, federal law continues to classify marijuana as a Class 1 narcotic—the same as heroin, crystal meth, cocaine… and we hand out penalties just the same! It’s stupid! It’s bad policy! It’s a waste of our resources! Why in the holy fuck don’t we ask actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman if pot is as dangerous as heroin.”

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tennessee)

“Well, marijuana never left me dead with a syringe sticking in my arm, so I think the answer is no.”
