"[Devlin] also cited exhaustive medical and scientific studies, court rulings and expert testimony that show pot -- though medically beneficial and legal in some cases -- poses a risk to pregnant women, young people, long-term users, drivers and those with mental disorders."
This is at least wrong and at worst debilitating, possibly fatal, to mother and fetus. Ask women with hyperemesis gravidarum if 'marijuana' is harmful to pregnant women.
What's harmful to young people is being scapegoated as the cause for the world's most harmful government policy while being intentionally tempted by the "forbidden fruit" effect created by prohibition. If the government really want to stop the marijuana trade, all they'd have to do is grow industrial hemp in abundance, and all the outdoor pot would get seeded. No more black market, no more teen abuse, no more gangs growing plantations in our wilderness areas. And many other problems solved.
Shame on anyone who believes in the so-called "drug war" as other than an anti-Constitutional, revenue raising scheme, empowering people selling expensive solutions that don't work to solve problems that are evermore profitable. Will someone please help me Wake up America. Cannabis isn't illegal, it's essential.
We have nothing to fear but the atmosphere itself. Time is the limiting factor in the equation of survival. Cannabis is unique AND essential, valuable beyond the rightful jurisdiction of any court. Our freedom to farm every herbbearing seed is the first test of religious freedom.
