As those who claim the government entities charged with the ensuring the safety of medicine, … that they are not doing enough to study the safety of their particular drug-of-choice, (most all – marijuana).
Periodically, I attempt to point out here, their claims are lies …
I was a user back when those leading the movement to legalize pot said they were going to claim pot was medicinal and that they felt that was “the weak link” in the government’s protecting the public. Now that those promoting legalization have been successful, it’s time to re-evaluate!
Two of these “studies”, I suspect, (listed below – # 18 & 19), are prime examples of legalizers getting federal grant money to promote their pre-conceived views. If you peruse the entire list, I suspect you’ll find others, but the question is: should our tax money continue being spent this way after over 33,000 studies have shown the harm done and almost zero benefit?
Below, are 173 different studies (funded by grants / tax money). This month, I’m only listing the names of the studies – if they want to peruse the science, they can do the work! I’m tired of their LIES!
Like children demanding instant gratification, reminiscent of tobacco manufacturers a few decades back, their well-funded backers hire “scientists” to produce bogus studies, intent on legalizing another harmful drug, one known to be responsible for numerous mental issues is bringing even more immediate harm as the potency increases exponentially!
