Dave Appears on Politically Incorrect

Dave was on ABC's Politically Incorrect last night. The topic was legalization of marijuana, which was, as you can imagine, a fun topic with Dave on the show. Two of the guests, Earl Bishop and Joe Califano, were strongly opposed to marijuana, but couldn't seem to explain what made it different from alcohol or tobacco. Califano even said that a hundred thousand people are in treatment [Note: This originally read "had died," a point which Califano made, but attached no numbers to] from marijuana usage, which he didn't manage to explain. Comedian Elayne Boosler helped Dave keep things fun, and host Bill Maher was definitely on Dave's side.
