It used to be they would not narc on you, they just needed to know to do their job.

But does anyone really believe that any more?

This is interesting material.

Is it supposed to be pro or anti?

Am I supposed to focus on the health effects or that it appears that it took legalization for them to address this stuff?

Just another reason not to smoke Mary Jane.

Deep State loves potheads.

Big Med is more likely to narc on the abstemious.

I believe it’s more true now. Doctors are told marijuana is a panacea.

Now, many people it eat, as well as smoke it. They make it look like candy or sweets.

Once information is entered into the medical office computer, it is widely available. It’s almost amusing to hear the med people ask about stuff that some employee in another office put into the records. Scary in a way too, since the patient has no control over what some scrubs-wearing gruntling types into the big database in the sky.

Deep State loved the war on weed.

From institutional misery to big pharma they fought legalization every inch of the way for decades on end.

Legalization is indefensible and so was prohibition.

No, the deep state was always for legalization. It was George Soros’ biggest objectives. 99% of the users support them.

The Rockefeller drug laws were deep state. Adopting them nationally was deep state. Incarceration nation and big pharma are deep state.

They’ve done a wonderful job drugging and dumbing down the nation with or without legalizing weed.

That was what I meant.

Not just mary-ja-wana but everything you say to them is in the system and available to every low level clerk to read.

You think they are really keeping that stuff confidential?

The funny thing is that if you move to a new doctor they will send you a bill for "transferring your records" when it supposedly is in the national data base system.

Big Pharma has latched onto marijuana in a big way.

Marijuana is not a drug it's a religion. Users will no more tolerate you speaking ill of it, than a jihadist would tolerate you speaking ill of Allah.

You can brutally murder someone (and a dog) without going to jail if you are using marijuana: She stabbed a man 108 times and got probation..

Ok, I will come clean. Don’t use it, never used it, cant stand the smell of it, and I get a coughing fit any time I am near someone who does use it.

Oh good grief.

Where in the world did you come up with the idea that “every low level clerk” has access to your electronic medical record?

That is fake news.

Where in the world did you come up with the idea that there is a “national database system” for such things?

That too is fake news.
