The Subcommittee on Health of the Committee on Energy and Commerce will hold a legislative hearing on Wednesday, January 15, 2020, at 10 a.m. in the John …
How about someone ask these wholes which study was done that showed it needed to be illegal when it was first outlawed. There were none. So why do we need studies to disprove what was never proven in the first place?
Is cannabis bad for you? Maybe, but we need to weight the negative consequences of incarceration too. The negative mental consequences of incarceration and arrest are far worse on a person than smoking marijuana.
Pharmaceuticals cause liver damage, cancer, heart problems and kidney problems and that is just a few of the problems. Depression pills also is a killer that causes people to kill others and kills them as well. How many die from the Doctor prescribed drugs compared to this . Lots of people die every day and not just a hand full from pharmaceuticals but thats ok. When they die it is not disclosed as to what pharmaceuticals they died from unless it is illegal. This country is owned by powerful people as anyone can see if they think about it.
Mr. Burgess, Texas Congressman, @13:13 is stuck on stupid.
Public Opinion Poll: Are the two blondes behind Ms Eshoo men or women or one of each?
Gateway drug, blah..blah…blah. we have the best government big pharma can buy. Nothing about how opiate pills are the real gateway drug to heroin use. I wonder why? We dont need to research it federally, all you have to do is look at the states that have legalized it and study the consumers in those states. It's legal to posses so what you do with it is up to you. We shouldn't need the feds blessings on everything, if anything they are showing how irrelevant they really are in the grand scheme of things.
NIH /USDHHS Government Patent # 6630507 research is very V different than this propaganda. #6630507 turns nineteen years old February 2 2020. Lmao! IQ Cap on DEA employment remains real!!
Any politican claiming they need more research is working for the pharmaceutical or prisons for profit lobby. Cannabis has never caused dearh,,put a warning label on it.
Who elected these people?
The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act (HR-3884), if passed, would REMOVE CANNABIS from the CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT (CSA) instead of just lowering it from Schedule 1 down to Schedule 2 (as prohibitionists may suggest). This bill has already passed a historic U.S. House subcommittee vote (by a 24-10 margin) and now moves on to a full vote on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives! US CITIZENS: Contact YOUR elected congressmen and Ask (or Beg?) them to PASS US HOUSE BILL #3884! If it does pass a vote in the full US House of Representatives, it will move on to a vote in the US Senate. If it passes the US Senate, the bill would go to President Trump's desk for him to sign it into law! He could also veto it. The word is, if this bill makes it to his desk, President Trump WILL SIGN IT! When he was a Democrat back in 1990, Donald Trump once said ""We're Badly LOSING THE WAR ON DRUGS! You have to LEGALIZE Drugs to win that war. You have to TAKE THE PROFIT AWAY from these Drug Czars!". Why is the LEAST dangerous drug (cannabis) with many amazing medical benefits ILLEGAL, while the MOST dangerous drug (Alcohol) with NO medical benefits is LEGAL? This makes NO SENSE! Alcohol was found to be 114 TIMES more dangerous than cannabis in a UK study. Don't believe it? Google it!
When we did the First Church of Cannabis, we ran into the same thing repeatedly…How they Frame it with Uncertainty. Israel's Studies alone should do it, but no…
We just get Fear Delinquency, Crime, Sugar Cookies.
No comparison mention of the negatives of a readily-available drug: Alcohol. Anyone ever watch the show Intervention? How many episodes on Alcohol vs. Marijuana? I'll spoil the answer, MANY, MANY episodes on alcohol and NOT ONE episode on weed. As a federal employee of over 18 years, and currently living in a state where it is recreationally legal with a dispensary on every damn corner, this is just absolutely ridiculous. Federally legalize and deschedule it for the love of god. DO IT FOR THE TROOPS! So frustrating….
Seems like this meeting was for a bunch of politicians to come up with more reasons to not work for the people but morese against them. How many of these people receive PAC money from Big Pharma?
2:58:10 – Dr. Volkow mentions an increased number of cannabis related emergency room visits in states that have legal cannabis. I'm curious what the number of emergency room visits are in places that don't have legal cannabis, but also have a high/increased usage rate. I strongly suspect that the increase in emergency room visits can be attributed to the fact that people in legal states no longer have to worry about potentially facing prosecution, losing their job, or having their children removed by CPS for seeking treatment and thus admitting to using it. People are much less likely to seek treatment for complications resulting from illegal drug use vs permitted use. However, I'm fairly certain that most of these cases are a direct result of people underestimating dosages and/or blatanly over-doing it. Similarly, like alcohol, some people drink too much, which rather intentional or not, leads to a plethora of issues – but we don't hold that against the people drinking responsibly.
This was truly a sad sad hearing. Yes, very important one but held by the wrong people. They have everything ass backwards.
2:38:30 ish – Gateway drug. If cannabis is a gateway drug, and you want to close the gate, legalize and regulate it. Drug dealers don't card. Nobody is getting offered cocaine and meth at their local dispenary, but street dealers are often willing to sell anything that will make them money. We know that people obtain and use cannabis regularly regardless of legal status. If using cannabis really does make you more "sensitive" and prone to abuse other drugs, then it would probably be a good idea to make sure that people aren't obtaining cannabis from the same people that sell those highly addictive and potentially deadly drugs like methamphetamines, cocaine, heroin, etc.
Facts r off Utah beer is 5.0
We need to find out who's being played off by big pharma
Everybody keeps saying we need more research to make sure it's safe before we allow adults to use it, yet we KNOW the negative social, health, etc. impacts of alcohol and tobacco, but we allow responsible adults to make that descision for themselves. More research would be great, it is a necessity for the improvement of medical science, but time's up. Millions of Americans are using cannabis rather it is legal or not, and the negative consequences of its legal status far outweigh any potential benefits of keeping it schedule 1. There is no excuse for cannabis to be schedule 1. It is a well documented FACT that cannabis has medical benefits. This alone is reason to remove it from schedule 1. By definition, it should not fall under schedule 1. I would argue that it should be removed completely from the controlled substances act, and be treated like alcohol.
You guys had enough time to do research.
Regulate it like alcohol it's safer.
They sound like they got this shit stright outta refer madness………. Lobbyist for you
2:59:23 Any body else notice Ms. BLOUNT ROCHE?🤭💨💨
