I know people like marijuana, and it is also true that the negative aspects are downplayed. I sometimes wonder if, in addition to pushing it for money, the globalists also want us hooked so we are more compliant. In any case, two men with somewhat different viewpoints discussed it last night on Greg Kelly’s show.
Luke Differados is the executive vice president of SAM, which stands for Smart Approaches to Marijuana, and Jamie Grosser is the CEO of PoorMeBev.com, a THC drink.
“For anybody who cares about the future of this country, they should be very concerned [about marijuana]. The latest statistics now tell us that 21 million Americans are using marijuana every single day, and that’s more than 19 million cigarette smokers. Now, let’s just take a step back and ask why we care. Why do we care about this? Well, the industry is out there saying that marijuana is no big deal. This is the Woodstock weed that a lot of people remember from yesteryears, but that’s not what we’re talking about anymore.
“This drug has been supercharged. It is high octane, up to 99% potency now, compared to 2% potency just two decades ago. So ,it’s a totally different drug, and it is now invested in by big alcohol and big tobacco. They have put billions of dollars into this product, and so it’s no surprise that they’re having success addicting the American public to their latest product.
“And here’s what we know: if you use marijuana regularly, you are five times more likely to develop schizophrenia or psychosis permanently. You are 42 percent time 42 percent more likely to have a heart attack and die, and to have strokes. You are more likely to kill someone on the road or get into a car crash.
“The list of problems if you’re using marijuana every single day is gigantic. There are a lot of people that will be hurt. Not the least of which is our next generation, whose potential we really need to be thinking about right now,: Differados said.
Mr. Grosser said, “I mean the business is really, you know, strong right now. We’re obviously facing a lot of challenges on a federal level. Now we’re in the hemp THC beverage business, so what he’s [Differados] talking about is recreational marijuana.
“So, for those of you who don’t know, basically since the 80s, he is correct. People have been cranking up the THC content in what you know considered ditch weed in the 70s to get higher potency. In our business, it’s, you know, regulated to milligrams per can. We’re up to, I think, 27 states now that have structure around what we can actually sell in a can, nd most of it’s 10 milligrams or less.
“So everything in moderation, including moderation for our products, it’s very much, you know, do a little, see how you feel, and if you want some more, do some more. But yeah, we’re very pro-THC as far as the comps to alcohol. It’s, you know, half as likely to get addicted to marijuana as it is to alcohol. Obviously, alcohol is what most people consume. It’s found readily in every gas station, convenience store, and all across America. We were trying to basically do the same thing with a product with THC in a beverage form that has no liver damage, has no kidney damage, and is impossible to OD from,” Grosser concluded.
The problem is that both alcohol and marijuana are gateway drugs. They are addictive. As with the THC drinks, kids can buy them and drink way too much of it. So, proceed with care. I don’t want the government involved except with children. Your life matters.
