So we've gone from discussing weed to all drugs now?
Whether Democrats are pro or anti weed doesn't change the fact that Republicans are anti weed, that is a fact
Its not that they are anti-weed, its more that they are pro-war on drugs/ pro-law enforcement, if they suddenly legalize weed, this means law enforcement cannot continue to justify the huge budgets for fighting the drug war.
To sustain a drug war for decades and decades...there needs to be a drug problem, one cannot survive without the other.
Think about it, if you take out drugs and drug related crime in about any city, what would law enforcement be left with? Would it be enough to justify their current budget and number of officers they need?
Although in regards to pot, I think its the pharma industry that is pushing to keep it illegal for the most part, when it was on the ballot in AZ, one of the largest pharma companies gave 500 million to ensure it fails, then it turns out, shortly after, that company received their DEA approval for a synthetic marijuana product, so its easy to see who is against it and why, it has absolutely nothing to with protecting anyones health and safety, NO drug law ever was, even when they were first enacted.
3. Since you rail against the pharmaceutical industry, obviously from not have any meds prescribed to you. If you do, then you are a hypocrite.
Regarding #3, I'm pretty sure he's not against pharmaceutical drugs. Rather, he's pointing out *your* inconsistency in that regard. Nice try weaseling out of answering the question though.
This is the reason marijuana is illegal and opioids/more dangerous drugs are legal: MONEY!
Marijuana is cheap and effective for some diseases and for relaxation. The rest of drugs are expensive and highly ineffective.
The parents of a 20-month-old girl say Indiana child welfare authorities threatened to take the child away from them because they chose to treat her epilepsy with a legal cannabis extract.
When Jaelah was diagnosed with myoclonic seizures in July, a neurologist at Riley recommended the drug Keppra.
Worried about side effects, Jerger said she told the doctors she wanted to do some research before committing to Keppra, which can cause drowsiness, dizziness, unusual tiredness or weakness.
Jerger said she and her husband Jade were astonished by the results, as Jaelah went from at least 40 noticeable seizures per day down to almost none. They said she's had four completely seizure-free days since she started using CBD.
But medical personnel at Riley Hospital didn't agree with their decision, Jerger said, and reported the family to CPS for "not treating" their daughter.
I bet that if cdb was illegal they would have taken her daughter and start giving her the poison pharmaceutical companies push on ignorant people. What a sad world we live in, when it doesn't matter what works or help human beings, but what makes money for increasingly richer people.
Aww, the liberals in Maine can't smoke weed. So sad.
Neither can conservatives in Maine.... legally. But millions will anyway. So Happy!
