William Breault: Stupidest person in Worcester
I have a big favor to ask, Worcester. Can we please all stop pretending that Billy Breault makes any sense what so ever? In today’s T&G Mark Melady did us all the disservice of printing yet another ridiculous collection of Billy’s unsubstantiated bullshit and it really has to end. Today Billy is talking marijuana decriminalization and I find it troubling how many half truths and lies the Telegram is willing to print for Billy, take this one for example:
He said today’s marijuana is four times more potent than the weed of 30 years ago and the Supreme Court has twice turned back efforts to legalize marijuana for medical purposes.
Yes, the Supreme Court has twice in recent years passed on hearing marijuana cases, but only so states could pass their own law (Republic anyone?) which in turn is exactly what Billy is fighting against, way to battle democracy douche bag. And for the love of god can we stop with the potency argument? Yes, indoor growing techniques have improved and potency of marijuana has sky rocketed, but not universally. Good, high potency weed costs more per ounce than Billy makes in a week. Just as with premium craft beers with higher alcohol by volume, the cost and ‘potency’ limits, not encourages consumption.
Billy is a moralist and a prohibitionist and to that end he must be ignored, shunned and/or ridiculed back to whatever small minded hole in the ground he comes from. We can’t tolerate ignorance in our community and pretend it’s a suitable substitute for facts when we have real problems to deal with. And we certainly can’t pretend the voice of a crazy person is suitable for leadership, even if it’s leadership of an imaginary group like Main South Alliance for Public Safety. Hopefully people will start to realize that Billy Breault is not a good person, he is an angry and misguided old man who thinks life should be a Rockwell painting. Well it’s not, never was, get over it.
I’ve thrown together some links to research and stories concerning jazz cigarettes, for those of you interested in such things:
RAND Drug Policy Research Center study on the gateway claim
This is well sourced collection of drug war talking points
Massachusetts Committee for Sensible Marijuana Policy
Jeff from Wormtown Taxi seems to share my thoughts
And of course, no discussion of Marijuana’s legal status would be complete without a Harry Anslinger quote:
“In the earliest stages of intoxication the will power is destroyed and inhibitions and restraints are released; the moral barricades are broken down and often debauchery and sexuality results. Where mental instability is inherent, the behavior is generally violent. An egotist will enjoy delusions of grandeur, the timid individual will suffer anxiety, and the aggressive one often will resort to acts of violence and crime. Dormant tendencies are released and while the subject may know what is happening, he has become powerless to prevent it. Constant use produces incapacity for work and a disorientation of purpose. The drug has a corroding effect on the body and on the mind, weakening the entire physical system and often leading to insanity after prolonged use.”
You’re in good company Billy, hope that works out for you.

Well said, down with prohibition!
In a recent radio interview he was calling it a narcotic and rambling on about a petition. He sounded like a crazy person who needed some sort of presciption filled.
I know a lot of people who have died, gotten arrested, hurt their families, and made complete asses out of themselves while drunk. I’ve never seen a person who was stoned do any of those things. Well… maybe the complete ass one but I was high too so it was just funny.
I don’t smoke anything anymore and if it were legal, I still wouldn’t smoke. I can’t believe I was so close to the gateway of hardcore drug use but managed to escape its grasp.
4 times stronger eh?
Hey where can I get some of that stuff?
Ask Bill maybe?

Here here! Down with tyrannical prohibition!
It’s time for Massachusetts to demonstrate our ability to stay ahead of other states in social mattes. This man is more than likely a benefactor of the fact that it is illegal, and contesting its decriminalization gives him free publicity.
