TO: Mr. Jeff Sessions, United States Attorney General
RE: Marijuana
Dear Attorney General Sessions:
You’re all about marijuana being an illegal “controlled substance,” but how much do you actually know about it?
For instance, can you pronounce, let alone spell, the psychoactive component of marijuana?
It’s tetrahydrocannabinol.
You and other marijuana-challenged folks can just call it “THC.”
So Mr. Sessions, in the interest of helping you become better informed, here’s a Pot Quiz. No cheating and skipping to the end for the answers!
