Media Bias

Weed advocacy groups do the samething. While therapeutics have been found, as pot has been mainstreamed more studies have been done and the CDC has released some really shocking results when it comes to usage and impacts on development.

There has to be balance, but there’s a lack of awareness when it comes to risks associated with weed use and I really blame the lobby that have been given a lot of what they wanted.

Is it shocking? I feel like the longitudinal impacts are pretty well known.

I don't know enough about the additives they put in marijuana but won't be surprised to find they are hiding things.

Any reputable seller has lab results available on their website or included with the products you buy.

Every single thing you put in your body has an effect, whether positive or negative. Adults should be responsible for taking care of themselves and researching what they're consuming. That should not be the government's job to try to legislate what we can have. Pass hard on that.

To add, every company should have to be 100% forthcoming about what ingredients, etc., are in their products and there needs to be punishments for not doing so.

Totally agree on personal responsibility, but on that note should all drugs be legal?

Without some level of Federal oversight, like the FDA, good luck with getting companies to be honest and forthcoming on their own.

If there could only be 2 choices:

1. All drugs are legal
2. All drugs are illegal

I would definitely vote for legalizing all drugs. I'd much rather have my choice to choose what I consume than be told what I can or can't.

I don't know enough about the FDA to have too much of an opinion about them. But reviewing foods/drugs/etc. is different than legislating our rights to have it or not.

For example) I think cocaine should be legalized, but if it was, I wouldn't be against the FDA reviewing those products being sold to make sure the drugs were pure and not laced with other additives.

Note - I don't do coke, and have never done it before. Drugs (besides alcohol) just have no appeal to me. So unless we go back to prohibition, all other drugs being legal or illegal would have zero impact on my life in particular.

If cocaine was legal ... id be dead.

Not even joking.

Glad you're still here!!

1. No one in the US smokes or uses mexican weed anymore (safe assumption). America has huge greenhouses growing the finest. Mexican brick brown dirt weed is a 80s thing. Pretty sure in MD, any weed sold in a MD dispensary had to be grown in MD, not 100% sure.

^^ this is Sun Med in Cecil County, MD, mid to low tier quality grower imo. I personally am not a fan, tend to buy the higher quality stuff as I only smoke maybe 3.5 gs a month.

Mexican cartel weed revenue is zero nowadays thanks to legalization and medical cannabis.


And that has what to do with what I said???????

I guess the point I was asking about is how can people support legalizing Marijuana on the one hand and want cigs banned on the other???

As for the Cartel aspect I raised - it was to point out that they'd love it if Cigs were banned.

And that has what to do with what I said???????

One thing a ban movement would have is financing as I'm sure the Mexican drug cartels would be willing to support an effort to outlaw cigarettes.

^^ from your earlier post

I originally took that as mexican cartels smuggling weed, didnt quite understand it.

Now I understand looking back ... you meant mexican cartels would be smuggling in cigarettes

but yeah ... good talk.

ignore the other "discussion" stuff I said

got excited for a sec, thought we were going to have a worthwhile conversation on here and not be at each others throats

having a tough frustrating day IRL today ...

Yes I realized that is what you did. Happens. So I followed up with another post. Question to the board is there anyone here who supports banning Cigs and supported/supports Marijuana legalization.
