No no… I’ve been told by leftists that smoking pot is perfectly healthy and has no side effects and won’t even affect your lungs because it’s all organic, not like tobacco which is horrible for you and must be stamped out!

Reefer Madness redux. In trouble with the law? Been caught stealing? Breaking and entering? Assault? Truckload of unexplained catalytic converters? Blame Trump marijuana. They'll pity you and let you off easy.

“American Board of Pain Medicine President”

Yeah, I’m not sure the Chief Opiate Pusher is an unbiased witness.

“A lot of my colleagues that work in psychiatry and emergency medicine are seeing a sharp rise in marijuana-related psychosis,”

I’ll assume the colleagues are all using high levels of pot also, so that they have experienced these ‘marijuana related psychoses’ first hand and can speak through experience...if not, I’ll assume they’re simply speaking through their hats...

This is not at all surprising. Marijuana is far stronger nowadays than it was back in the ‘60s and ‘70s. It also stinks to hgh heaven.

Not POT— that would be Big Tobacco.

Real research in non-opioid pain treatment by purified, non- psychoactive Cannabidiol (CBD, pure, without any stoner Tetrahydrocannbinol THC psychoactive cannabinoid compound in it). Research in the UK for child epilepsy treatment has led to explosion of research of pain management without opioid agents. CBD works extremely well— and zero “high”.Israeli companies have patents on hemp plants that produce only CBD. Cannabis plants genetically altered to to produce CBD and no THC.

Big Baccy Pot See: Phillip-Morris in Jamaica for Big Tobacco’s filter tipped ganja sticks. 100 plus carcinogens in marijuana. Trenchtown rocks on whacky tobaccy.

Wonder how many freepers this applies to. The ones posting Ukrainian war mongering comments 24/7 or pro Covid vaccination updates would be my first bet. 🤣

You depict the wealthiest man and also the most competent American businessman around.

If you could accomplish one millionth of what Elon Rusk has accomplished you would be a rich man.

I suspect this is giving rise to 18 year old mass shooters.
