When I dug into this stuff about 2 months ago (the pro pot propaganda) I discovered that the pot industry has invested major money in false “studies” and statistics. One such smoke screen (see what I did there?) was the touted false fact that teen use of pot had not gone up. What REALLY happened is that on campus resource officers and counselors had noticed a marked increase in pot use, CO students lead the nation in pot use, but the schools get to decide how to handle it and the schools were not prosecuting. So pot use among teens, and its impacts upon drop out rates and participation, went up as expected but reporting and accountability went down. That’s a potheaded approach to balanced reporting but pro pot lobby is out there flogging the fake “facts” for their favorite high. :)
And where do you think all of those “funny” wine memes all the women post on Facebook come from? Do you think some housewife drew it up and posted it? It's all marketing and nonsense, developed by the wine and alcohol industry. No different. Same with those studies touting the “health benefits of wine. There’s a lot of money being spent out there to get you drunk and hooked.
