“I have all my fingers today. I think we should get fucked up and do insane crimes. What do you think, voice in my head?”

It’s so funny that in the 1960s everyone was like “weeds not a big deal, man, just legalize it!”

And then they legalized it and a bunch of botanic scientists started messing with it and turned it into a seriously hardcore drug that makes you go insane.

Personally, I think it was a bit out of control to be putting people in prison for a few grams of weed. I don’t support the extreme drug war policies, even though I am a hardcore Nixon supporter. I think it should have been suppressed to an extent, but putting people in prison was just kind of nuts.

But legalizing it and then letting these scientists turn it into a hardcore psychedelic that drives everyone into schizophrenia? This is totally wild. At best, they could have just decriminalized possession.

But hey.

Making super-weed that makes everyone schizophrenic is also a good option, I guess.

CNN:

One may think young people are the main group enjoying the freedom of legalized weed, but in Canada, the greatest increase in users after legalization was among older adults — and sometimes it’s sending them to the hospital, according to new research.

The rate of emergency department visits for cannabis poisoning in older adults during the period of legalization of dried cannabis flower and edibles — October 2018 through December 2022 — in Canada was significantly higher than that of the pre-legalization period, according to a research letter published Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

Oh wow so legalizing drugs makes more people do drugs huh I never would have supposed that this would be the case. [sic]

Edibles, which include baked goods, candies and beverages, are increasingly popular, said lead research author Dr. Nathan Stall, a geriatrician and clinician scientist at Sinai Health in Ontario. But some older adults may be unaware of the strength of today’s weed, and little is known about the health effects of legalizing edible cannabis on older adults — the age group with the largest growth in overall cannabis use a year after dried cannabis flower was legalized in Canada, Stall said.

“There’s a bit of an age-related bias that many health care practitioners, and frankly society, hold that older adults are not using drugs. And that’s not true,” Stall said. “We found that the largest increases in emergency department visits for cannabis poisoning among seniors occurred after edible cannabis became legal for retail sale in January 2020.”

These “edibles” are like, super-strong. People have complete breakdowns. It’s like smoking PCP.

The authors used the Ontario Ministry of Health’s administrative data to examine the rates of emergency room visits for cannabis poisoning among older adults during the pre-legalization period — January 2015 to September 2018 — and the two legalization periods: October 2018 through December 2019, which permitted the sale of dried cannabis flower only, and January 2020 through December 2022, which marked the legalization of cannabis edibles.

When people have cannabis poisoning, according to Stall, they may experience confusion; psychosis, including hallucinations; anxiety or panic attacks; rapid heartbeat; chest pain; nausea; and vomiting.

To be fair, you don’t have to smoke weed to have those issues.

I have all those issues every day and I haven’t smoked weed since I was 19.

During the eight-year study period, there were 2,322 emergency department visits for cannabis poisoning in older adults who were age 69 on average. Nearly 17% of those adults were simultaneously intoxicated with alcohol, about 38% had cancer and 6.5% had dementia. Compared with pre-legalization, legalization period No. 1 saw a twice higher rate of emergency department visits for cannabis poisoning. The rate during the second legalization period tripled that of pre-legalization.

“This study provides a cautionary tale of legalization of substances without adequate research, education, and counseling of users regarding adverse effects and safe usage, particularly in older adults,” said Dr. Lona Mody and Dr. Sharon K. Inouye, who weren’t involved in the research, in a commentary on the research.

It needs to be de-legalized.

It was already effectively decriminalized. What was the point of legalizing it?

If it’s decriminalized but still illegal, it can’t be sold in shops, and people don’t think it’s normal and sanctioned by the government, so people are more careful.

It’s just common sense.

]]> Marketing of Flavored Cannabis Targets Kids https://www.anglinarchive.com/2023/01/19/marketing-of-flavored-cannabis-targets-kids/ Thu, 19 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Remember when the government flipped out over testosterone-increasing and intelligence enhancing flavored nicotine vape juice, saying it targeted kids and claiming that was bad?

They’re taking a different tact on kiddie weed.

AP:

When New York’s first licensed recreational marijuana outlet opened last month, the chief of the state’s Office of Cannabis Management, Chris Alexander, proudly hoisted a tin of watermelon-flavored gummies above the crowd.

Outside the Manhattan shop, he displayed another purchase — a jar containing dried flowers of a cannabis strain called Banana Runtz, which some aficionados say has overtones of “fresh, fruity banana and sour candy.”

Inside the store run by the nonprofit Housing Works, shelves brimmed with vape cartridges suggesting flavors of pineapple, grapefruit and “cereal milk,” written in rainbow bubble letter print.

For decades, health advocates have chided the tobacco industry for marketing harmful nicotine products to children, resulting in more cities and states, like New York, outlawing flavored tobacco products, including e-cigarettes.

Now as cannabis shops proliferate across the country, the same concerns are growing over the packaging and marketing of flavored cannabis that critics say could entice children to partake of products labeled “mad mango,” “loud lemon” and “peach dream.”

…

 

New York, which legalized recreational marijuana in March 2021, forbids marketing and advertising that “is designed in any way to appeal to children or other minors.”

Oh?

But hey – I guess the difference between a child and a pot-smoking adult is nigh undetectable.

They sell these drugs as candy then act shocked when kids eat them.

A study released earlier this month documented the steep rise in poisonings among young children, especially toddlers, who accidentally ate marijuana-laced treats.

The uptick in cases coincides with the rise in the number of states allowing the use of marijuana for medicine or recreation. Medical use of cannabis is currently allowed in 37 U.S. states, while 21 states allow recreational use.

“When you’re talking about strawberry-cheesecake, or mango, or cookies-and-cream flavors, it’s very difficult to argue that those are for older adults,” said Dr. Pamela Ling, the director for the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California in San Francisco.

We are already in a situation where nicotine is more demonized than marijuana.

Why is that, I wonder? Smoking cigarettes or vaping is a personal choice that really doesn’t affect anyone else. Smoking weed turns the whole population into zombies.

There is still no discussion of legalizing cocaine, by the way, despite the fact that it is safer and healthier than weed.

Alex Berenson has a lot of good information on the modern weed industry, and the amount that the drug has changed since it was legalized.

]]> Conflict of Interests: Marijuana Production Sends Greenhouse Gas Emissions Through the Roof https://www.anglinarchive.com/2021/03/12/conflict-of-interests-marijuana-production-sends-greenhouse-gas-emissions-through-the-roof/ Fri, 12 Mar 2021 13:23:41 +0000

Smoking is a form of masturbation. It neuters men while making them feel momentarily good.

The government wants people high because getting high is a cope that makes people less likely to resist the insanity that Bill Gates and the elite are pushing. They also want people to believe in the climate change hoax and go along with whatever they claim will help reduce “greenhouse emissions.”

But it turns out that marijuana is increasing these supposedly doom-oriented emissions.

Study Finds:

Although marijuana may be a natural product, it turns out America’s cannabis industry is becoming a lot less eco-friendly. A new report reveals that the energy it takes to grow marijuana in large quantities is sending greenhouse gas emissions through the roof, literally.

Researchers from Colorado State University say the $13 billion cannabis industry is a booming business across the United States. However, most of that commercial production takes place indoors. As a result, the gas and electricity it takes to run all these operations seriously worsens the industry’s carbon footprint.

The team adds that the problem shows no signs of slowing down as more states legalize marijuana’s use, both medically and recreationally. Study authors performed a life-cycle assessment of indoor cannabis operations across the U.S. Their report analyzed the energy and materials needed to grow marijuana commercially in each U.S. county in order to find the amount of emissions it causes.

What makes growing marijuana so harmful to the environment?

The results reveal the bulk of greenhouse gases come from the electricity and natural gas consumption involved in growing cannabis. This power helps to run high-intensity grow lights, regulate the grow house’s temperature, and supplies carbon dioxide which accelerates plant growth.

“We knew the emissions were going to be large, but because they hadn’t been fully quantified previously, we identified this as a big research opportunity space,” study leader and graduate student Hailey Summers says in a university release. “We just wanted to run with it.”

The report updates a previous study by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researchers which looked at small-scale grow operations in California. Those results, however, predate the growing number of states to follow Colorado in legalizing the drug in 2012. Currently, 36 states allow the use of medical marijuana and 15 allow recreational use.

The solution, of course, is to stop raising cows and start using that land to grow marijuana. It would be killing two birds with one stone: we stop the climate-ruining cows from farting and give people the bread and circuses they need to stop them from protesting.

Or, another option: this inconvenient fact just doesn’t ever get mentioned again.

One thing is certain: they’re not going to take people’s weed away. They need people as high as possible to make this system work.

]]> Breastfeeding Mothers Still Produce Milk with THC from Marijuana 6 Weeks After Use https://www.anglinarchive.com/2021/03/12/breastfeeding-mothers-still-produce-milk-with-thc-from-marijuana-6-weeks-after-use/ Fri, 12 Mar 2021 03:00:19 +0000

It’s just a plant, man. Plant-based. Babies should develop their brains under the effects of this substance to be happier and more relaxed. Don’t you want kids to be happier?

These bigoted researchers are just against pregnant women blowing some steam off.

Study Finds:

Just as smoking and drinking during pregnancy can have a negative impact on a child’s development, a new study finds marijuana use even after the delivery can be detrimental to a newborn. Researchers at Children’s Hospital Colorado say tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana, remains in a woman’s breast milk for at least six weeks. The revelation is creating a widespread push by health organizations to get mothers to abstain from using pot, even as more states legalize its use.

“With the increasing utilization of marijuana in society as a whole, we are seeing more mothers who use marijuana during pregnancy,” says primary investigator and neonatologist Erica Wymore, in a media release.

“However, given the lack of scientific data regarding how long THC persists in breast milk, it was challenging to provide mothers with a definitive answer regarding the safety of using marijuana while breastfeeding and simply ‘pumping and dumping’ until THC was no longer detectable in their milk. With this study, we aimed to better understand this question by determining the amount and duration of THC excretion in breast milk among women with known prenatal marijuana use.”

…

In the new report, researchers studied a group of women delivering their babies at Children’s Colorado and UCHealth’s University of Colorado Hospital between November 2016 and June 2019. The women also had to meet specific criteria including having a history of marijuana use and testing positive for THC when entering the hospital.

The women had to be over 18 and have an intention to breastfeed. They also had to agree to abstain from marijuana for six weeks after delivery and continually give milk, blood, and urine samples during the experiment.

Of the nearly 400 women screened by researchers, just 25 enrolled in the study. Out of these expecting mothers, only seven successfully abstained from marijuana for the full six weeks. For the 18 who couldn’t go without cannabis, the reasons they gave included stress, sleep issues, and a need to manage pain.

Despite only seven making it to the end, the results reveal all of these women had detectable concentrations of THC in their milk six weeks after delivery. Although the amounts varied depending on level of use, body mass index, and their metabolism, researchers say THC was still present even after the study ended.

“This study provided invaluable insight into the length of time it takes a woman to metabolize the THC in her body after birth, but it also helped us understand why mothers use marijuana in the first place,” says Maya Bunik, MD, MPH, medical director of the Child Health Clinic and the Breastfeeding Management Clinic at Children’s Colorado.

“To limit the unknown THC effects on fetal brain development and promote safe breastfeeding, it is critical to emphasize marijuana abstention both early in pregnancy and postpartum. To help encourage successful abstention, we need to look at – and improve – the system of supports we offer new moms.”

This drug agenda has overtaken society to the point where we want infants to get high on breastmilk?

Does anyone think “babies should be able to get high too, mannnnn” is something that would be happening in a healthy society?

Are we even trying anymore?

]]> Weed Goes South: Virginia to Legalize Marijuana https://www.anglinarchive.com/2021/02/28/weed-goes-south-virginia-to-legalize-marijuana/ Sun, 28 Feb 2021 13:28:19 +0000

Why would you want your population high on drugs?

Think of all of the possible reasons you would want that. Then try to think of one that isn’t malicious.

AP:

Virginia lawmakers gave final approval Saturday to a bill that will legalize marijuana for adult recreational use, but not until 2024, when retail sales of the drug would also begin.

With a compromise bill clearing the House and Senate, Virginia becomes the first Southern state to vote to legalize marijuana, joining 15 other states and the District of Columbia. The legislation now goes to Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, who supports legalization.

The bill was a top priority for Democrats, who framed legalization as a necessary step to end the disparate treatment of people of color under current marijuana laws. But talks between Democrats in the House and Senate grew tense in recent days, and a compromise version of the massive bill did not emerge publicly until late Saturday afternoon.

“It’s been a lot of work to get here, but I would say that we’re on the path to an equitable law allowing responsible adults to use cannabis,” said Sen. Adam Ebbin, the chief sponsor of the Senate bill.

Yeah sure dude, you only want the adults high, I’m sure.

Because it’s not like we have any data on the rate at which underage and child marijuana use increases when you legalize it.

Oh wait – no, we do have piles of data on that.

But whatever.

The kids need something to do, what with the schools closed, right?

The crazy thing is that at the same time they’re encouraging marijuana use, they’re cracking down on vaping.
