I'm an American doctor. Here's the truth about Juul, vaping and legalizing marijuana

"There is no medical or scientific reason for marijuana to be illegal while far more deadly and addictive drugs like alcohol and tobacco are sold at the front counter. In my opinion, the only reason is racism.

When a large influx of Mexican immigrants came to the United States between 1910 to 1920 to escape the Mexican Civil War, they introduced marijuana to many Americans. Then in the 1930s, the head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, Henry Anslinger, waged a war against marijuana and demonized the drug as being associated with “degenerate races.” He helped pass the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, which outlawed the drug nationally.

Well, it’s 2019 and it is way past time we heed facts and evidence over fear-mongering. Unlike alcohol and tobacco, not a single person in the history of all of human civilization has ever died from a marijuana overdose. It has therapeutic uses as well, including treating rare seizure disorders like Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndrome.

Moreover, more than 70 people, mostly of color, are serving life in prison for non-violent marijuana crimes while former Speaker of the House John Boehner gets rich selling it on an industrial scale. As an American doctor, I emphatically believe that in order to save lives, to prevent black market vaping injuries, and to even promote justice by mitigating the terrible scourge of mass incarceration, we must legalize weed."

Cocaine was and still is the white man's drug. Only thoss who can afford it are of the upper class. Those who are poor usually resort to crack. If they're stupid.

We should legalize marijuana across the country, regulate it, and tax it.

In this way, you ensure it is only the plant, and not being cut on the street with other harmful drugs added.

Plus, the funds could be used to help pay teachers more, repair our crumbling infrastructure like roads and bridges, and more.

Then, govt should take those funds and resources that were being wasted on targeting weed as an offense, and instead channel those same funds to where the fight really matters -
Fentanyl, Meth, Heroin, Cocaine.

If you want to help doc help stop the opioid crisis that you and your so called colleagues and big pharma started. You fucked up a lot of folks.

They didn't force anyone to take a pill.

Doctors only pursue their own agendas and their own cash making machines.

What kind of doctor are you?

Inhaling chemicals into your lungs carried on a water vapor medium is pure stupidity.
And smoking pot DOES kill brain cells
So yes, Anslinger was right.
Smoking pot turns you into a lazy assed Mexicant. At least in attitude.

The Agenda drives most if not all "scientific" studies today.

The American Cancer Association, did extensive research, on Cannibis, in the early seventies, in 1975 they declared that it was the cure for Cancer, but that Dr s couldn't prescribe it, because it was illegal
