I'm 81, For 65 years I have been exposing government lies about cannabis; locally, nationally, and Internationally.
Millions of people still believe that government-prohibited marijuana is to protect us from a “dangerous drug.” Not true. If it were true the truly dangerous drugs, alcohol and nicotine cigarettes would be the prohibited drugs. No one has ever died from marijuana alone! Our government is lying to us. Again!
Approximately 3,500 deaths per year are caused drivers under 21. Teen alcohol suicides average 260 a year. 300 deaths by accidents, drowning, burns, and alcohol overdoses. 1,500 college students die each year from alcohol. Alcohol contributes to 600,000 assaults, 500,000 injuries, and 70,000 sexual assaults annually. Two million students a year admit having driven a car after drinking alcohol. 400,000 students between ages 16 and 24 report having unprotected sex while under the influence. Alcohol is abused by 14 million Americans, and kills 100,000 a year.
Together, alcohol and nicotine kill over a half million American’s each year. Not one person has died from cannabis itself. Ever. And it’s proven medicine for appetite, nausea, vomiting, glaucoma, and much more. Why then is cannabis the "Prohibited Drug?"
Pot is competition to alcohol, nicotine, and the 400 billion dollar a year pharmaceutical cantles who pay Uncle Sam billions in taxes each year. Uncle is their protector, providing pot lies. The statement that regulating the plant would encourage more users is incorrect. Having to show ID, like alcohol, is what would cut use. Pot potency is stronger then in the 60’s. One puff instead of five or six makes sense. (Eating pot, not knowing how much was in the cookies is what causes a disorienting experience.) Students who fail in school or athletes have preexisting physical, psychological, or behavior problems.
Note that President Obama's smoking pot never hampered his basketball, or mental ability.
Marijuana prohibition is fueled by ignorance, arrogance, politics, greed, power, money, corruption, outright lies, perjury, and racism.
