Corelation is not causation.

“A rise in asthma cases has been observed in children from certain racial and ethnic minority groups in states where recreational use of marijuana has been legalized.”

Is there anything that doesn’t “affect ethnic minorities” more? No wonder there is a thing called white supremacy. It should be obvious at this point.

I wonder if the recent redistribution of some ethnic groups is s factor.

We know nothing of the kind. It’s coincidental autism starts to be noticeable around the time of childhood vaccination. The thimerisol theory pushed by celebrities is false. Facts matter, I say this as someone with an autistic nephew.

Legalization with the political and cultural push in favor of drug culture is designed to harm the less affluent and targeting racial minorities for power and profit. Keep them soft minded chemically and through indoctrination of victimhood. Guess which party benefits?

Democrats demonstrated they don’t care about health when they sued tobacco and use it as a slush fund rather than ending it in the nineties. Trump tried to find balance with an increased legal age and eliminating some products clearly designed to create new generations of addicts rather than serve the old ones.

Wondering why governments have rushed to get pot in the hands and lungs of so many people - almost as if they were fanatic about it.

It’s so common in metro Atlanta that the generic question, “do you smoke,” if understood to refer to cannabis even though it’s still illegal in Georgia for recreational use.

Makes it easier to manipulate and get away with things if the electorate is not just distracted by life but also stoned

Who Knew! Who knew that regularly inhaling smoke directly into your lungs might impact your respiratory system!

And, they don’t call them dopers for nothing.

Slaves/serfs using drugs of various kinds to allow them to self medicate to become docile, self absorbed, lack in reasoning ability, lack of positive motivation, and escape their pathetic reality sure makes the masses easy to control.

Smoke inhalation = bad

There’s a reason why we cough.

Anyone with half a brain should know that filling the lungs repeatedly with foreign material, is not good for pulmonary function. The foreign material is an irritant and causes inflammation, which is the precursor for cell mutation and pulmonary disease. Asthma may be the least possible disease.

This “No shit Sherlock” moment is brought to you courtesy of the dumbasses who convinced the PTB that tobacco was bad for your health and that weed was good for your health!

BTW, if you live in a “weed legal” state/area, what has happened to your insurance rates? Automobile accident rate? ER visits? Overall death rate?

Weed is only good for those who profit by growing and selling it!
