Everyone is deceived by Big Marijuana just like they were by Big Tobacco. They have people believing it is healthy for you and “medicinal,” when in reality it causes permanent brain damage, psychosis and other mental illness, lung cancer, COPD and other lung diseases. People should recognize that the hacking cough of a pot user sounds just like the one of tobacco smokers.
On another level, there is nothing that our enemies like China would like to see than our country weakened by drugs physically and mentally.
“Washington state became a homeless camp shortly after legalization.”
You mean nothing changed?
Meaningless stats.
That’s like a 17-year-old who smokes a pack of cigarettes per day claiming that he’s just fine, and getting stronger.
All described in the article was predicted by level headed leaders and writers before the legalization took place. My family will tell you I spoke to this very result whenever the topic arose.
Now project the same for the nation as a whole. Russia or China would roll in and conquer without a whimper.
In other news, legalizing burglary would make that crime statistic plummet!!!
Never mind 8 years of Obama, and counterproductive efforts by lib WA government to create “affordable housing.” Oregon and California, too.
Your use of brightly colored correction marks and grading could trigger someone.../s
Has the traffic death toll in Colorado changed since legalization?
Are potheads in CO sitting at stop signs waiting for them to turn green?
Or do those who smoked pot for thirty years still claim to not be addicted?
Antonito.
Can we now say....WE TOLD YOU SO!?
Leads with two sensational stories that happened 3+ years ago and over a year apart. The voice of reason!
Seemingly normal people can do insane things even while sober. People do insane acts of violence daily while under influence of alcohol and legal pills. At a far higher rate than cannabis users. Most of the school shooters were under legal drugs. Yet these substances are still legal because, by far, most people consuming them are not violent.
The rate of increased violent crime is due to the synthetic opiod epidemic hitting all inner cities and gangs rising up from their profits. These are chinese synthetic drugs far cheaper than pot and dozens of times stronger than heroin. This issue has nothing to do with legalized pot.

Also, the traffic studies cited in this article are not correctly analyzing the data. Cannabis metabolite found in the blood from using it weeks ago does not indicate impairment now. Calling “cannabis related” is not science.
“CDOT spokesman Sam Cole said the department considers the number of deaths in which the driver was marijuana-impaired under state law to be the most reliable indicator of its impact on the highways.
By that measure, marijuana-related deaths are clearly down.”
Someone should post scans showing the brain damage in those who have smoked dope regularly. Looks a lot like the NFL players that have permanent brain damage from concussions.
You know there has been brain damage when you’re talking to a doper when they have the typical 3 second delay while they are trying to process what you said to them and how they should respond.
Yeah right.
Dealers are still dealing, just to marijuana to minors and harder drugs to adults. My EMT buddies tell me that there is a huge uptick in meth.
Legalized marijuana. One of the many dangerously insane policies of our time.
In Washington State, the Opioid Death Rate is 9.4.
In Washington State, the Homeless Rate is 290
In New Hampshire, the Opioid Death Rate is 35.8.
In New Hampshire, the Homeless Rare is 109
The only solution to this is public execution of drug dealers.
THC is THC. Selective breeding has produced plants that are heavy THC producers. Concentrates like hash oil were available in the 60’s and 70’s, too, though not available as easily. Abuse isn’t a good thing. Look for those abusing shatter to be a problem, years down the road.
Yup. Making weed legal opens the door for illegal dealers to hide in plain sight much easier.
But what the heck, a stoned population is an easily controlled population.
