Especially that eight year old that had his mother take a pic of him with leeds on in a hospital bed saying “ Thank God he’s vaxxed or his heart attack may have been worse.” 🙄
These parents are frightening. Not to mention stupid.
It’s baffling It could have been worse I took the Vax got the c virus but thank god it couldnabe been worse Worse example I heard is from my neighbor She knew a 24 year old male who suffered a stroke weeks after his vaccination and his cardiologist said “ this is a good thing You had a heart condition that had gone undetected -Now we can treat it !” And his family and friends are therefore grateful !
Really, it's Programming and some folks are susceptible to it. It's hard to say why but many score well on IQ tests. They can read, they are just programmed not to want to.
I do understand the temptation to call them stupid though, and I agree it's hard to tell the difference...
I agree It’s not a factor of lack of intelligence or even a
Lack of Education
In my mind It’s more a lack of life experience - Experience is hard won & painful And many (count me in) would prefer not feel any emotional pain if at all possible (haha) luckily
Theres an array of addictions- drugs and processes - for dodging pain.
To face the shocking, sad reality of this widespread & ruthless collusion - is a very painful thing It’s too big to believe
Also, many people are just too trusting of others (legacy media / and external authority )
It’s hard to leave the pack
We are also naive if we don’t know that ALL humans are susceptible to psychological abuse - and this is certainly that !
I hope to see our compassion grow for those who haven’t yet seen the “writing on the wall “
Not overdose from smoking dope. And there is no way that once a month use could cause a measurable uptick in these pathologies. We would have known about it years and years ago. Its OBVIOUSLY hiding vaxx damage.
Did you really just call it dope? We called it that in high school, early 70s. My kids & spouses, 40-48 yrs, come unglued when I mistakenly use it. Dope is evidently heroine nowadays. IT’S WEED…ok, whatever.
I am fully on board with Alex's disdain of marijuana. The rampant legalization of it is doing nothing but causing more problems - when do people admit this?
I smoke a couple times a year. Not sure that makes me a pot head. But I don't drink at all and have seen people ruin their lives and others over drinking. Do I want to see prohibition though? At some point, you have to let adults make choices.
I totally agree, and when daily pot users fuck up other peoples lives, they should go to jail!
But daily potheads don’t think that anyone involved with marijuana should ever see time behind bars, even if they drive a car into a van and kill a whole family, they should be excused!
That’s why people like me can’t stand daily pothead shit bags, they have no regard for life at the end of the day until proven otherwise…
And what’s hilarious is the casual users invariably resent the daily users fucking up people from recreational using and not being judged, but you don’t have the balls or ovaries, or whatever else are in your bodies to admit it…
I am sympathetic to this to a point. There are a couple advantages to legalization including crowding out the criminal element and regulation. I wouldn't want to see people making their own moonshine again anymore than marijuana laced with god knows what. I personally believe the root problem with both drinking and marijuana is that they are both often used as social crutches. We have a "meaning" problem in society more than a drug or alcohol problem.
well said, like most government "solutions" it just makes the entire situation worse for everyone, except the regulators, corrupt pols, and giant corporations.
There's the KEY for sure. NOTHING is really about "safety", all is about personal decision but most of all, personal RESPONSIBILITY. From decisions about one, or two, glasses of wine being right for you, to smoking anything, cigars, pot, cigarettes, using a helmet when riding a bike, or a horse, to putting on your seat-belt. But we continue to believe IF we just pass more laws, if we just have more regulations.... never works ! Just watch after this terrible incident in N.Y. supermarket shooting yesterday... the "IF ONLY S" will begin immediately Monday morning: if only we had stronger gun laws, then we could banish mental illness perhaps ? Human nature is human nature, no matter what we do, people will smoke, people will drink too much, people will fail to fasten their seat-belts, and those with a fixation on getting a weapon, no matter how violent or how mentally ill, will find a way to get what they want. Personal responsibility is difficult to teach, and it is very rare that it can be self taught. What we really need is a change in priorities in the family unit, regardless of the make up that family. It is NOT because it's a single parent family, or a same sex set of parents, we just keep "barking up the wrong tree". We need a BIG RESET, so to speak, and go back to a focus on children, less on technology, more hands on parenting, mentoring, parent involvement, and scrupulous MONITORING. We need a pact for American families, a pact to raise a more responsible generation. That would take the dedication of TIME, a LOT OF TIME, on the part of the parents, and churches and other places of worship, police, judges, schools, teachers, school boards, all need to make this a top priority, not a "hit and miss" kind of thing.
We need a more caring, involved, population, not parents hitting each other, and the coach, over the head with beer bottles at little league games, and then going to the cell phones to post it all !
Not really, the seatbelt was a free gift from Volvo
>We failed
Wat no Truth & Reconciliation Commission!?!?!?!
>No reason to start again with another intoxicant. One is plenty.
I agree that mixing alcohol with any other drug is a social and public health nightmare. That is probably the most important practical concern that the ethical and basic logical inconsistencies of present policies are colliding with.
There are two kinds of people, pot users and everyone else. THC is a deadly neurotoxin, and everyone other than potheads will face that fact. Use of it has added to the stupidity of so many Americans.
I share that disdain. But it doesn't mean this claim is true. Its almost certainly a cover for all the vaxx deaths and damage since most people probably smoke dope once a month. Or at least many people do. Personally I think any chemical euphoria agent taken regularly will retard emotional growth.
Be interesting to know how many Biden voters smoke or do drugs or drink many times a week Vs. voted for Trump in 2020.
That's fair. In Ottawa there is one or more pot stores on every major commercial street. I'm assuming on that. But I have no idea how many use. I smell it everywhere though.
Many things caue problems. Its up to adults to mitigate there own risk. We need to stop looking to the governemnt to "solve problems". That mentality is how we got where we are today. They're idea of solving any problem is giving themselves more power. Power they will never cede. They solve problems by turning entire groups of people into criminals with the stroke of a pen.
100%. The job of government should be closer to releasing true information for the purposes of informed decisions. In part, I blame the 1950s movie, Reefer Madness for the spread of the use of THC smokables. The ludicrous lies about its effects made it fun and exciting to use since it was clearly not as it was portrayed.
The consequence was though, that because one toke did not turn people into raping murderers immediately, people assumed the opposite was true. A sort of semiconscious fallacy of ad absurdum. A healthy non-frightening factual look at powerful drugs and what they do would almost certainly lead to people making better decisions for themselves.
Related: Anyone see the TV series, Dopesick? A brilliant look at how medical systems are utterly subverted for profit. MUCH of what takes place in that series can be applied to the mRNA experimental gene therapy of today.
You can dislike marijuana all you like. You can discourage people from using it. You can argue that it is destructive in a host of ways. None of that is an argument for making it illegal. The damage done to society when a substance like marijuana is made illegal is arguably far worse. And making it illegal never stopped anyone from using it.
Ok I'll try and find it in the morning. No need to get defensive. Nothing that psychoactive can be used in quantity and frequency without affecting your brain. After all, that's why people use it. Some people get issues after a while. Why is that controversial? Is weed magical in that it gets people really high but doesn't do anything else?
If that were the case, we would have had massive schizophrenia correlations. We don’t. We do have a crazy amount of Alzheimer’s. I suspect it is low fat high sugar. Forget about weed. What we really need to focus on is obesity. There is a worldwide epidemic. Increase risk of many cancers, diabetes, heart disease.
To be better understood, I prefer to know a lot about a thing before passing judgement. I am not trying to say bad things about marijuana as an absolute position. Just pointing out that its not an all good or bad thing. It IS bad for ME. For other people, it might be just fine.
In terms of my personal position on psychoactives, I suspect that really steady use prevents emotional maturation, since people don't feel the consequences of their actions, and so don't suffer from them. This tends to have a retardation effect. But feel free to dismiss this as I have about as much medical training as Bill Gates.
Amazing McCartney tickets & the guy & his 2 “adult” kids next to us decide that’s how to enjoy the concert. Couldn’t wait to get home to shower & do laundry.
Yep. And my flight on Spirit Airlines back from Vegas was like that Snoop Dog movie with that big purple plane. Lots of relaxed people with their stashes in their carry-ons. It was like a DEA operation coming back from El Salvador in the 80s
When I first read this, I did not realize you were responding to a username because it accurately describes driving habits of Marylanders, stoned or sober. Nightmare bloody state.
Nope. According to all my expert friends who are 420 friendly it has no affect whatsoever on driving habits or work habits. "I'm perfectly normal no matter how much I smoke", says Jeff Spicoli after crashing that Camaro.
Though I think some people hurt themselves with overindulgence (as with anything) and people whose minds are still forming should not be smoking or eating it.
Maybe travel to a town in West Virginia or small-town Ohio and see about the so called "greater good". I think a lazy mentality and doctors over-prescribing opiates did not contribute to the "greater good". But that's just me
Without knowing Fetterman's "vax" schedule, I'd be reluctant to conclude it was the weed. Thanks Alex, for the Sunday update though. I thought when I heard it the guy was withdrawing but of course, he isn't. He's a Democrat. Why would any Democrat withdraw when they have a demented, corrupt Obama puppet with Biden occupying the Oval?
Marijuana smoking has been observed to cause significant health issues. The youngest laryngeal cancer I ever treated was a 17 yo from rural Utah who had a very long history of exposure and personal usage. He lived in a commune as a foster child. The pro-cannabis lobby would have us believe usage was harmless. It’s hard to study retrospectively because many users also smoke cigarettes. I’d refrain from both unless there is an overwhelming need and you have nothing to lose. Terminal cancer is an example and I’m sure there are others.
This is interesting. Don't like smoking it myself. I get paranoid, then fall asleep!! Neither do I begrudge anyone having a toke. Canada has legalized cannabis, probably because our "leader" is hoping that we'll be too stoned to notice or care about all of his illegal activities.
I've noticed that "coincidence" as well. What other theory could there possibly be Alex? Too much soccer, too much yoga? Nah...we'll just go with all of the sudden cannabis causes cardio vascular events being discovered around the time of the Covid vax roll outs.
In other so-called “Health News” across countless outlets: we were assured the jabs worked…until it was proven they don’t. But many—including our state health department are still running ads/billboards urging boosters. What are we up to now…#5 or 6? Also note there’s no mention of the organization behind this earth shattering study or its so-called credentials or how it was conducted or funded. Like many Americans, I am sick of and no longer trust 3-letter agencies or universities to give unbiased opinions or accurately recount “data.”
And the solutions seem to be to let the pharma companies make synthetic versions of these naturally occurring cannabinoids that are in both the plant (not drug) and humans.
its the jab - like many on the side of not taking this - its coming true - we are seeing lots of excess deaths and I suspect it will really be noticeable this coming winter during flu season and I am sure many people will be on their 10th jab
I think we'll see it increase exponentially before the Fall. Everyone I know who is sick right now is jabbed and it's with illnesses not usually seen until the Fall.
Let's stop pretending that consumption of cannabis is always so good and healthy. It's a drug. Smoking it cannot be healthy. Smoking anything cannot be healthy. It's smoke for God's sake. I'm sure it may have some medicinal properties, and it might make you feel better, but like all drugs, there's side effects and risks. Recreational use might be fun like drinking or it may be harmful like drinking. Medicinal use might be effective but it might make things worse or be harmful in some other way. Bottom line is that if you can live without cannabis, you're better off not taking it. I have never been a recreational drug or alcohol user, so I can't relate to that. As far as medicines, I take some prescription meds (not cannabis) and I accept the risks in exchange for the benefits. When I say I'm anti vaxx, I don't mean I'm against all medicines, or vaccines I just mean I'm against medicines or vaccines that A) I don't believe in, B) that don't work, C) that are forced upon me with threat and D) that are recommended by fraudulent organizations and people like the CDC and Fauci, Joe Biden, CNN, and the cackling women on The View.
"I have never been a recreational drug or alcohol user." - Clearly. It might benefit you to do some research on the many health benefits of cannabis; one of which is help weaning off prescription meds, which are known to have nasty side effects if used long term. Cannabis, on the other hand, has virtually none. Don't want to smoke it? Fine. There are several other options for consumption. If I've piqued your interest, check out United Patients Group. Tons of info on its health benefits there.
I have heard of many benefits of cannabis and I recognize that there is more than one way to get it into your blood stream. I also recognize that there are some medicinal benefits to cannabis and that many people benefit from them. Maybe one day I'll benefit from cannabis and I'll consider it as a way to improve the quality of my life and allow me to live a healthier life. My point is that there are negative side effects to just about any drug, recreational or not, and cannabis is no exception. I think you should be free to take cannabis for whatever reason and the government should get it's snout out of my life regardless of how benign or malignant the side effects are. After I've seen the government in action with respect to covid, I have realized that whatever government touches usually turns to shit.
Your Truth about Marijuana book was spot on. I bought several copies and gave them out to friends. Too bad idiot politicians/policymakers don’t read it
People who use marijuana have an increased risk of heart disease and heart attack, according to a large study led by researchers at Stanford Medicine.
The study also showed that the psychoactive component of the drug, known as THC, causes inflammation in endothelial cells that line the interior of blood vessels, as well as atherosclerosis in laboratory mice.
The inflammation and atherosclerosis can be blocked by a small molecule called genistein that occurs naturally in soy and fava beans, the researchers found. Because genistein has limited brain penetration, it doesn’t inhibit THC’s ability to stimulate appetite, dull pain and tamp down nausea — characteristics vital to medicinal marijuana users.
Anything to blame the vaccine side effects on except the vaccine. I’ve never seen nor heard of a stroke or heart attack caused from smoking weed. 35 years in ems.
No cannabis: 0.45% MI incidence. > 1 time per month: 0.53% MI incidence. Looks like a 17% increase. Not sure that's worth getting too upset over. Its why I like to have the paper instead of just reading a headline.
The cannabis-enhanced paranoia leading to, oh, I don’t know—fear of a relatively innocuous virus, for example—that’s what concerns me. If people take a substance that affects their health, well that’s on them. But if people take a substance that affects their understanding of reality and then those same people vote for things like vaccine mandates, now it affects everyone else. That being said, it’s just a concern and I have no way of knowing to what extent it’s actually a problem. Unfortunately, too many cannabis users are so spooked at the thought of creeping prohibition that they instinctively reject any effort to honestly weigh the costs and benefits.
Great points. Cannabis is how Alex Berenson got on my radar in the first place. He was one of the few people in media questioning it. I tried it for restless legs (which btw, Berenson, is a very REAL and very AWFUL condition). I appreciated ABs reporting on it, and later Covid vaccines.
That could be true! Have never done before - was desperate for help with RLS. I later found out my sibling also reacted badly to it. My theory is there is a genetic subset with whom cannabis does not agree. Oddly enough I do fine with CBD. I really wanted THC to be the answer - was super disappointed.
Went to the time and trouble, and money, to get a legal card.
That's interesting. I also got my legal medical cannabis card, specifically for RLS, and it works wonders for me. Discussing my specific health issues with the certifying doctor really helped me find the best strain/type to use.
Have read so many people with RLS say this - was super disappointed it didn't work better for me and it actually freaked me out a bit (even at a low dose). Truly happy it's working for you though!
Until Gates, Schwab, Faux-Xi, et al & world “leaders” are in the soup & not still being vaunted & pontificating about their next diabolical steps, it hasn’t.
Please come clean with new research. I have too say, this has never ever been a subject with weed. Secondly, weed is now a political weapon. When politics gets involved expect the truth to get buried. There are so many lies and misinformation on weed for decades and now it has exploded to absurd levels as probably this "new research". What we do know with absolute certainty is being fat leads to everything can go wrong. Ad some alcohol, sugary food, junk food. Yeah you're going to have a stroke or heart problems. I've never heard or seen an active thin weed smoker report strokes or heart attacks. I don't think this is a thing and I know a lot of weed users who also knows a lot of weed users and on and on, and nope, no reports like this at all. I'm calling BS on this one. BTW weed users are some of the healthiest people around, and yes you can use too much like everything else in life moderation is key brah.
Been in EMS for 35 years. Never, ever, heard of or saw anyone have heart problems or a stroke from weed. This is just a deflection and propaganda to persuade people that the vaccines aren’t to blame.
Thank you for this, Phil! Reading through all these comments, it amazes me how many people are still stuck in the old false "refer madness" propaganda. I've used medical cannabis for the last 3 years and never been healthier.
I notice a lot of people continue to refer to it as a "drug" instead of the medicine that it is and historically has been. ONly when the pharmaceutical industry felt threatened by it was it prohibited, and referred to as a drug. My eyes are rolling right now
Come on, man. Cannabis has been with us for eons. But the link to heart attacks was only found after the Covid vaccines started causing heart attacks and they're desperate for cover. Other newly found causes for heart attacks include standing up too fast, and laughing too hard.
They know people are on to their BS vaccines and they are doing everything to cover their backsides. I’ve lost a lot of respect for the medical profession.
So where's the association between weed and strokes? It seems to me like your work is being plagued by 'confounders', like the clot shots. Without evidence to even associate weed with strokes - you appear to be plagued with the problem of 'confirmation bias'.
So what you're saying is that there's "an association" between cannabis, and heart attacks. Could it be that people who smoke weed more than once a month are also more likely to smoke cigarettes, or drink alcohol, or eat red meat or pork, or salty foods?
What's the reduction in overall life expectancy, for people who smoke weed more than once a month? Does it matter if it's Sativa or Indica? Inquiring minds want to know.
Generations of drug warriors, going back to Harry Anslinger, and William Randolph Hearst, want to know why they couldn't manage to make these "association"s...
Alex please highlight the fact he chased a black man after hearing bottle rockets and held him at gunpoint with a shotgun. He faced no charges and actually marched with BLM during the Floyd protests. You cannot make this shit up....
As someone who smoked pot heavily from about 15-45 I can honestly say that I would have been better off without it. It kind of dulled my brain down, which allowed me to suffer fools to a much greater extent than if I hadn’t been high. I think I would have been an insufferable know it all (I was anyway but the weed made me not care enough to correct my friends) and not had many friends…but on the flip side I would be much healthier and wealthier 😂
I had a TIA in 2020, I believe it was because I smoked. I quit once I read about possible causes, luckily I just had a TIA and nothing more, and it was a reason not to get the vaccine, and saved me with physician exemptions.
I am a resident of PA so this election has some significance for us. All the local news coverage of Fetterman focuses on his desperation to legalize weed. I'm not sure he has any other platform.
Live in a state that legalized it - buzzed drivers all over the place. Everything in excess including alcohol will always bring about danger to the users and non users.
Jon….. Dr Kory stated that more overweight bald men ended up sick , on vents. Treatment was to block part of the testosterone pathway.. or is the moral of the story pot smoking, bald,obese men eat too many hot pockets.?
It is all the fault of cannabis, of course. ;) I have fact checkers’ words — you’ll see these in a few days in USA Today— that biologists have verified it is not the vaccine. In other news, they are still trying to determine Ketnaji’s gender.
New Mexico Senator Ray Luhan had a stroke recently. Maryland Senator Van Hollen had a stroke this weekend. And Democrat Senate frontrunner Fetterman also suffered a stroke. Hmmm. I don't remember so many Senators having strokes before. Probably just a coincidence.
All of these cowardly aconfrontationalist folks out there who get all pissed off at my comments, tell us how you’re going to solve this horrific division and a president that is so divisive, I’m waiting for him to slip and say that certain people should be killed to “protect” this country…
There is only one way to solve the division. We need to embrace what we have in common while we recognize our differences. Where we have differences, we need to allow different states to have different laws. That is how it was supposed to be. The attempt to impose one ideology on all 330 million Americans is the problem and the cause of division.
I genuinely ask this, how would you have resolved World War II? My money, you would’ve absolutely abhorred the idea of a nuclear bomb, and you would’ve sacrificed hundreds of thousands if not millions of Americans and other allied forces to go into Japan just to hopefully win out the attrition of numbers…
Unless, you’re a buddy of Neville Chamberlain and you just would’ve surrendered to Japan and Germany back in 1940?…
I don’t speak Japanese or German, but if we listened to you back in 1945, I’d be saying in those languages, “you’re fucked in the head!”…
Marijuana isn't good for you, but it still shouldn't be illegal. People need to make their own choices, whether about alcohol, marijuana, or death jabs.
It's no business of yours what people choose to put in their body. That goes for vaccines and it also goes for drugs of any kind. Leveraging the State to carry out your ideologies is essentially the act of hiring a hit man.
The State has no right to tell you that you can't get an abortion or that you can't smoke weed or that you have to put a needle in your arm.
The State is a violent mafia organization that uses violence and coercion to steal the fruits of your labor and it uses knee-jerk emotional reaction and ideology to gain whatever popular support it can for continuing to run its abhorrent protection racket.
Don't play into it. You can have your opinions about marijuana. But don't go damning someone who's trying to take the regulation of it out of State hands (as it should be in each individual's personal hands, instead).
Spoiler alert: he was a prime candidate for a stroke &/or heart attack even without cannabis use. Estimating he is 100-150 pounds overweight, has high blood pressure and is on statins.
every adult should have the right to use whatever drug they want as long as you don't require communist health care services for which healthy people will have to pay.
I would be happy to legalize everything if they stopped stealing my money via taxes for their social service sheet.
when we aren't at peace with ourselves or with God, we tend to get addicted to immediate gratification, be it junk food, mental tv/media stimulation, buying things...the hunt, getting sucked into another fight, getting angry (road rage), nicotene, caffeine, donuts, porn...you name yours. God invites us every day to get still and quiet and seek him and start fresh. Generally what gets me off track is forgetting gratitude throughout the day and then I look up and I've drank a whole bottle of wine and watched 3 hours of tv and snacked like a fool. Faith to choose to live our best self with God is an everyday choice, we never 'master' it, there is just enough for today and tomorrow we start over and humble ourselves and ask for help and be grateful for everything we can remind ourselves of. All addictions are covering pain, unresolved childhood traumas, and the trauma of not having intimacy with ourselves right now in the present. Pot and alcohol steal that from us and prolong the agony, when I could be out hiking in nature or go kayaking in my backyard, but I regularly forget God and get pulled away by the madness of everyone around me.
I've noticed that there are all sorts of new reasons people, especially the young, have been having so many heart attacks and strokes lately.
Especially that eight year old that had his mother take a pic of him with leeds on in a hospital bed saying “ Thank God he’s vaxxed or his heart attack may have been worse.” 🙄
These parents are frightening. Not to mention stupid.
It’s baffling It could have been worse I took the Vax got the c virus but thank god it couldnabe been worse Worse example I heard is from my neighbor She knew a 24 year old male who suffered a stroke weeks after his vaccination and his cardiologist said “ this is a good thing You had a heart condition that had gone undetected -Now we can treat it !” And his family and friends are therefore grateful !
Classic! That's how it's supposed to work. Falsie will be pleased!
Yes, Dr. Fallacy said it’s a good thing he’s flip flopped on all topics relating to health. So we trust him.
😂
Really, it's Programming and some folks are susceptible to it. It's hard to say why but many score well on IQ tests. They can read, they are just programmed not to want to.

They are not parents. The kid is a poor orphan!
Besides climate change?
And Daylight Savings Time...warm muggy nights...referee's whistles...
In fact, pretty much EVERYTHING (except covid vaccines) causes heart attacks.
Daylight savings time has been the #1 killer of vampires for over 100 years now.
Shifting sleep schedules are a far bigger cause, and are not restricted to the Twilight Saga.

I downshifted to Black Tea, but thanks for the thought. And link.
Bingo. Thank you for making that connection. Obvious once you made it!
😆
Not the ultra processed foods they’re eating?
I am starting to believe that Berenson is the one and only Person who knows that we lose one Person here in America 🇺🇸 to overdose every 5 minutes.
Not overdose from smoking dope. And there is no way that once a month use could cause a measurable uptick in these pathologies. We would have known about it years and years ago. Its OBVIOUSLY hiding vaxx damage.
Did you really just call it dope? We called it that in high school, early 70s. My kids & spouses, 40-48 yrs, come unglued when I mistakenly use it. Dope is evidently heroine nowadays. IT’S WEED…ok, whatever.
Yes the last time I smoked it was in high school in the early 70s. I hope you'll pardon my indifference to any changes in the vernacular.
So 6.3 million overdose deaths per year? Uh, no.
I heard Wuhan and it's vax might have somethin' or another to do with it...
I am fully on board with Alex's disdain of marijuana. The rampant legalization of it is doing nothing but causing more problems - when do people admit this?
As soon as everyone else admits that alcohol is far more destructive in every way shape and form
Spoken like a true pothead.
I smoke a couple times a year. Not sure that makes me a pot head. But I don't drink at all and have seen people ruin their lives and others over drinking. Do I want to see prohibition though? At some point, you have to let adults make choices.
I totally agree, and when daily pot users fuck up other peoples lives, they should go to jail!
But daily potheads don’t think that anyone involved with marijuana should ever see time behind bars, even if they drive a car into a van and kill a whole family, they should be excused!
That’s why people like me can’t stand daily pothead shit bags, they have no regard for life at the end of the day until proven otherwise…
And what’s hilarious is the casual users invariably resent the daily users fucking up people from recreational using and not being judged, but you don’t have the balls or ovaries, or whatever else are in your bodies to admit it…
Better a pothead than a wino.
I'll drink to that!
EEEERRRRRPPPPP!
But your pot makes my clothes stink 😂
But your vomit makes my carpet stink. :-D
Only do that in the toilet.
👍🏻
I agree. But adding another legalized layer to the destruction isn't the answer.
I am sympathetic to this to a point. There are a couple advantages to legalization including crowding out the criminal element and regulation. I wouldn't want to see people making their own moonshine again anymore than marijuana laced with god knows what. I personally believe the root problem with both drinking and marijuana is that they are both often used as social crutches. We have a "meaning" problem in society more than a drug or alcohol problem.

There's the KEY for sure. NOTHING is really about "safety", all is about personal decision but most of all, personal RESPONSIBILITY. From decisions about one, or two, glasses of wine being right for you, to smoking anything, cigars, pot, cigarettes, using a helmet when riding a bike, or a horse, to putting on your seat-belt. But we continue to believe IF we just pass more laws, if we just have more regulations.... never works ! Just watch after this terrible incident in N.Y. supermarket shooting yesterday... the "IF ONLY S" will begin immediately Monday morning: if only we had stronger gun laws, then we could banish mental illness perhaps ? Human nature is human nature, no matter what we do, people will smoke, people will drink too much, people will fail to fasten their seat-belts, and those with a fixation on getting a weapon, no matter how violent or how mentally ill, will find a way to get what they want. Personal responsibility is difficult to teach, and it is very rare that it can be self taught. What we really need is a change in priorities in the family unit, regardless of the make up that family. It is NOT because it's a single parent family, or a same sex set of parents, we just keep "barking up the wrong tree". We need a BIG RESET, so to speak, and go back to a focus on children, less on technology, more hands on parenting, mentoring, parent involvement, and scrupulous MONITORING. We need a pact for American families, a pact to raise a more responsible generation. That would take the dedication of TIME, a LOT OF TIME, on the part of the parents, and churches and other places of worship, police, judges, schools, teachers, school boards, all need to make this a top priority, not a "hit and miss" kind of thing.
We need a more caring, involved, population, not parents hitting each other, and the coach, over the head with beer bottles at little league games, and then going to the cell phones to post it all !
Alcohol has been widely drunk for thousands of years. That it is "more destructive in every way..." is not viable.
100,000 alcohol related deaths in the US per year says otherwise
Not comparable. Not the same time period or breadth of use to determine health effect.
Marijuana is not new.
And it's comparable on immediate and long term health effects. Who cares if one was more popular in western culture in the last 1000 years.
Pot lobby is totally suppressing the data from Colorado as a start, and you know it!
I believe Christ turned water into wine unless there is a revised version that I did hear about
Yes and they found some weed in the tombs of Egyptian mummies!
I think you are referencing a scene from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure dude
Sorry tried to give a grift, I mean gift, but my cannabis card needs a refill. What a wanker
I agree with Jestre, some realism has to be applied to the devastating enshrination(?) of alcohol as some sort of sacred libation for no good reason.
We tried. We failed. No reason to start again with another intoxicant. One is plenty.
It won't let me click like on your post William. So here is a note to say its an excellent post.
many thanks
>We tried
Not really, the seatbelt was a free gift from Volvo
>We failed
Wat no Truth & Reconciliation Commission!?!?!?!
>No reason to start again with another intoxicant. One is plenty.
I agree that mixing alcohol with any other drug is a social and public health nightmare. That is probably the most important practical concern that the ethical and basic logical inconsistencies of present policies are colliding with.
I meant prohibition.
Freedom is messy.
There are two kinds of people, pot users and everyone else. THC is a deadly neurotoxin, and everyone other than potheads will face that fact. Use of it has added to the stupidity of so many Americans.
Deadly? I would say it’s a net negative for society, but very difficult to overdose on it.
Completely false. Please do some research.
I share that disdain. But it doesn't mean this claim is true. Its almost certainly a cover for all the vaxx deaths and damage since most people probably smoke dope once a month. Or at least many people do. Personally I think any chemical euphoria agent taken regularly will retard emotional growth.
Be interesting to know how many Biden voters smoke or do drugs or drink many times a week Vs. voted for Trump in 2020.
Just gotta say 1 person I know, in my wide net of people, uses pot regularly. So…most people is an exaggeration, I’m pretty sure.
That's fair. In Ottawa there is one or more pot stores on every major commercial street. I'm assuming on that. But I have no idea how many use. I smell it everywhere though.
Many things caue problems. Its up to adults to mitigate there own risk. We need to stop looking to the governemnt to "solve problems". That mentality is how we got where we are today. They're idea of solving any problem is giving themselves more power. Power they will never cede. They solve problems by turning entire groups of people into criminals with the stroke of a pen.
100%. The job of government should be closer to releasing true information for the purposes of informed decisions. In part, I blame the 1950s movie, Reefer Madness for the spread of the use of THC smokables. The ludicrous lies about its effects made it fun and exciting to use since it was clearly not as it was portrayed.
The consequence was though, that because one toke did not turn people into raping murderers immediately, people assumed the opposite was true. A sort of semiconscious fallacy of ad absurdum. A healthy non-frightening factual look at powerful drugs and what they do would almost certainly lead to people making better decisions for themselves.
Related: Anyone see the TV series, Dopesick? A brilliant look at how medical systems are utterly subverted for profit. MUCH of what takes place in that series can be applied to the mRNA experimental gene therapy of today.
You can dislike marijuana all you like. You can discourage people from using it. You can argue that it is destructive in a host of ways. None of that is an argument for making it illegal. The damage done to society when a substance like marijuana is made illegal is arguably far worse. And making it illegal never stopped anyone from using it.
It’s actually helping people get off opiates. Way safer than alcohol. There is nothing wrong with weed.
Late onset adult schizophrenia. But too much of a good thing...
Show us that research that doesn’t exist
Ok I'll try and find it in the morning. No need to get defensive. Nothing that psychoactive can be used in quantity and frequency without affecting your brain. After all, that's why people use it. Some people get issues after a while. Why is that controversial? Is weed magical in that it gets people really high but doesn't do anything else?
If that were the case, we would have had massive schizophrenia correlations. We don’t. We do have a crazy amount of Alzheimer’s. I suspect it is low fat high sugar. Forget about weed. What we really need to focus on is obesity. There is a worldwide epidemic. Increase risk of many cancers, diabetes, heart disease.

To be better understood, I prefer to know a lot about a thing before passing judgement. I am not trying to say bad things about marijuana as an absolute position. Just pointing out that its not an all good or bad thing. It IS bad for ME. For other people, it might be just fine.
In terms of my personal position on psychoactives, I suspect that really steady use prevents emotional maturation, since people don't feel the consequences of their actions, and so don't suffer from them. This tends to have a retardation effect. But feel free to dismiss this as I have about as much medical training as Bill Gates.
Might want to rethink WebMD as a reliable source. Pretty sure they're funded by Pharma.
Bullshit there's nothing wrong with it. Flat out lie. Lying to yourself is fine but don't lie to the rest of us, especially children.
And it really stinks! Been to Vegas lately? It’s everywhere and smells rancid!!
Like burning horse shit.
Amazing McCartney tickets & the guy & his 2 “adult” kids next to us decide that’s how to enjoy the concert. Couldn’t wait to get home to shower & do laundry.
Yep. And my flight on Spirit Airlines back from Vegas was like that Snoop Dog movie with that big purple plane. Lots of relaxed people with their stashes in their carry-ons. It was like a DEA operation coming back from El Salvador in the 80s
Prohibition Never works as well as regulation and control.
Learn from our past, will you please.
Still waiting on regulations and controls.
Just guessing that exposing healthy pink lung tissue to ANY particulate might just be what the doctor ordered.

Somewhere in Maryland , you don’t like when peeps driving in the fast lane going 30mph? Or… driving in the middle of 2 lanes ?
When I first read this, I did not realize you were responding to a username because it accurately describes driving habits of Marylanders, stoned or sober. Nightmare bloody state.
Nope. According to all my expert friends who are 420 friendly it has no affect whatsoever on driving habits or work habits. "I'm perfectly normal no matter how much I smoke", says Jeff Spicoli after crashing that Camaro.
😂
hahaha. so true
When potheads get a personality that doesn’t revolve around cannabis (never)
When they are 17 maybe they are obsessed. Afterward it is like beers. A lubricant to other things.
Though I think some people hurt themselves with overindulgence (as with anything) and people whose minds are still forming should not be smoking or eating it.
And having worked in a high school…its affect on these young people is pretty terrible.
I get nervous now when I hear people talk about “the greater good “😮😬 (echoes the Vaxx agenda )
Maybe travel to a town in West Virginia or small-town Ohio and see about the so called "greater good". I think a lazy mentality and doctors over-prescribing opiates did not contribute to the "greater good". But that's just me
His stroke would have been way worse if he wasn’t vaccinated.
Anf if he hadn’t been high.
🙀
😂
much more likely the stroke is from the "vaccine" than weed
And his comorbidity: obesity
Without knowing Fetterman's "vax" schedule, I'd be reluctant to conclude it was the weed. Thanks Alex, for the Sunday update though. I thought when I heard it the guy was withdrawing but of course, he isn't. He's a Democrat. Why would any Democrat withdraw when they have a demented, corrupt Obama puppet with Biden occupying the Oval?
I instantly thought--booster shots
Yes then cancer next
Marijuana smoking has been observed to cause significant health issues. The youngest laryngeal cancer I ever treated was a 17 yo from rural Utah who had a very long history of exposure and personal usage. He lived in a commune as a foster child. The pro-cannabis lobby would have us believe usage was harmless. It’s hard to study retrospectively because many users also smoke cigarettes. I’d refrain from both unless there is an overwhelming need and you have nothing to lose. Terminal cancer is an example and I’m sure there are others.
Smoking is only one delivery method. Legalization has made safe alternatives, like vaping and eating, more readily available and more standardized.
This is interesting. Don't like smoking it myself. I get paranoid, then fall asleep!! Neither do I begrudge anyone having a toke. Canada has legalized cannabis, probably because our "leader" is hoping that we'll be too stoned to notice or care about all of his illegal activities.
I can't do it either. I hallucinate in an uncontrollable way. Guess I'm naturally high already.
Weed is counter cultural. Makes you paranoid about The Man and therefore less controllable.
I've noticed that "coincidence" as well. What other theory could there possibly be Alex? Too much soccer, too much yoga? Nah...we'll just go with all of the sudden cannabis causes cardio vascular events being discovered around the time of the Covid vax roll outs.
Good point ! Health Science God has spoken -it’s the cannabis
It's like around election time when suddenly somehow politicians get described in writing as 'lovely'
Is he "vaccinated "?
Of. Course.
Where are we headed? Banning menthol cigarettes and legalizing Dope?
OMG! I read this as “fat, vaccinated cannibal”. I was so confused! 😂
I wonder if he's related to Hannibal Lectern, the guy who stole Nancy Pelosi's property on Jan. 6.
Thank you for the belly laugh
In other so-called “Health News” across countless outlets: we were assured the jabs worked…until it was proven they don’t. But many—including our state health department are still running ads/billboards urging boosters. What are we up to now…#5 or 6? Also note there’s no mention of the organization behind this earth shattering study or its so-called credentials or how it was conducted or funded. Like many Americans, I am sick of and no longer trust 3-letter agencies or universities to give unbiased opinions or accurately recount “data.”
And the solutions seem to be to let the pharma companies make synthetic versions of these naturally occurring cannabinoids that are in both the plant (not drug) and humans.
its the jab - like many on the side of not taking this - its coming true - we are seeing lots of excess deaths and I suspect it will really be noticeable this coming winter during flu season and I am sure many people will be on their 10th jab
I think we'll see it increase exponentially before the Fall. Everyone I know who is sick right now is jabbed and it's with illnesses not usually seen until the Fall.
exactly
Fetterman was also tweeting out this February to get the Covid booster so there's that as well.
Let me add that I hope he completely recovers and quickly.
February? Well, by now he probably had #4 already. Maybe Moderna for some extra spike!
Democrats wish Kathy Barnette had been aborted, it’s healthcare!
Let's stop pretending that consumption of cannabis is always so good and healthy. It's a drug. Smoking it cannot be healthy. Smoking anything cannot be healthy. It's smoke for God's sake. I'm sure it may have some medicinal properties, and it might make you feel better, but like all drugs, there's side effects and risks. Recreational use might be fun like drinking or it may be harmful like drinking. Medicinal use might be effective but it might make things worse or be harmful in some other way. Bottom line is that if you can live without cannabis, you're better off not taking it. I have never been a recreational drug or alcohol user, so I can't relate to that. As far as medicines, I take some prescription meds (not cannabis) and I accept the risks in exchange for the benefits. When I say I'm anti vaxx, I don't mean I'm against all medicines, or vaccines I just mean I'm against medicines or vaccines that A) I don't believe in, B) that don't work, C) that are forced upon me with threat and D) that are recommended by fraudulent organizations and people like the CDC and Fauci, Joe Biden, CNN, and the cackling women on The View.
"I have never been a recreational drug or alcohol user." - Clearly. It might benefit you to do some research on the many health benefits of cannabis; one of which is help weaning off prescription meds, which are known to have nasty side effects if used long term. Cannabis, on the other hand, has virtually none. Don't want to smoke it? Fine. There are several other options for consumption. If I've piqued your interest, check out United Patients Group. Tons of info on its health benefits there.
I have heard of many benefits of cannabis and I recognize that there is more than one way to get it into your blood stream. I also recognize that there are some medicinal benefits to cannabis and that many people benefit from them. Maybe one day I'll benefit from cannabis and I'll consider it as a way to improve the quality of my life and allow me to live a healthier life. My point is that there are negative side effects to just about any drug, recreational or not, and cannabis is no exception. I think you should be free to take cannabis for whatever reason and the government should get it's snout out of my life regardless of how benign or malignant the side effects are. After I've seen the government in action with respect to covid, I have realized that whatever government touches usually turns to shit.
Your Truth about Marijuana book was spot on. I bought several copies and gave them out to friends. Too bad idiot politicians/policymakers don’t read it
You assume a lot . . . Read?
Shouldn’t someone warn Willie? He was 82 when I saw him in concert . He wore out the crowd for 2 1/2 hrs.
Perhaps Alex was referring to this study:
https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2022/04/marijuana-heart-disease.html
People who use marijuana have an increased risk of heart disease and heart attack, according to a large study led by researchers at Stanford Medicine.
The study also showed that the psychoactive component of the drug, known as THC, causes inflammation in endothelial cells that line the interior of blood vessels, as well as atherosclerosis in laboratory mice.
The inflammation and atherosclerosis can be blocked by a small molecule called genistein that occurs naturally in soy and fava beans, the researchers found. Because genistein has limited brain penetration, it doesn’t inhibit THC’s ability to stimulate appetite, dull pain and tamp down nausea — characteristics vital to medicinal marijuana users.
Anything to blame the vaccine side effects on except the vaccine. I’ve never seen nor heard of a stroke or heart attack caused from smoking weed. 35 years in ems.
No cannabis: 0.45% MI incidence. > 1 time per month: 0.53% MI incidence. Looks like a 17% increase. Not sure that's worth getting too upset over. Its why I like to have the paper instead of just reading a headline.
Actual paper here - I think:
https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(22)00443-3
Who funded this study?
I don’t think a stroke will harm his brain. There is already a lot of empty space up there.
Old news. Showing empty space is a requirement to become a Democrat. Showing unscrupulous greed is the requirement for Republicans.
Unscrupulous greed is on both sides of the aisle.
I am willing to bet it was all the jabs he took.
Cannabis makes my heart pound like crazy - can totally believe this.
The cannabis-enhanced paranoia leading to, oh, I don’t know—fear of a relatively innocuous virus, for example—that’s what concerns me. If people take a substance that affects their health, well that’s on them. But if people take a substance that affects their understanding of reality and then those same people vote for things like vaccine mandates, now it affects everyone else. That being said, it’s just a concern and I have no way of knowing to what extent it’s actually a problem. Unfortunately, too many cannabis users are so spooked at the thought of creeping prohibition that they instinctively reject any effort to honestly weigh the costs and benefits.
Great points. Cannabis is how Alex Berenson got on my radar in the first place. He was one of the few people in media questioning it. I tried it for restless legs (which btw, Berenson, is a very REAL and very AWFUL condition). I appreciated ABs reporting on it, and later Covid vaccines.
Have you tried Low Dose Naltrexone???
No but I have read about it; sounds interesting.
Especially the military grade stuff developed in the last couple of decades.
I thought it was supposed to relax me lol.
I don’t think you’re doing it right.
That could be true! Have never done before - was desperate for help with RLS. I later found out my sibling also reacted badly to it. My theory is there is a genetic subset with whom cannabis does not agree. Oddly enough I do fine with CBD. I really wanted THC to be the answer - was super disappointed.
Went to the time and trouble, and money, to get a legal card.
That's interesting. I also got my legal medical cannabis card, specifically for RLS, and it works wonders for me. Discussing my specific health issues with the certifying doctor really helped me find the best strain/type to use.
Have read so many people with RLS say this - was super disappointed it didn't work better for me and it actually freaked me out a bit (even at a low dose). Truly happy it's working for you though!
Every time he talks David Frum his mortician should put a sardine in his mouth 👄
Karmic wheel needs to start turning on a whole lot more 🤞🏻
It is! Haven't you noticed already?
Until Gates, Schwab, Faux-Xi, et al & world “leaders” are in the soup & not still being vaunted & pontificating about their next diabolical steps, it hasn’t.
Government wants you stoned and stupid. You’ll be easier to control and won’t put up a fight. So fire up another fatty, at least you won’t care.
Please come clean with new research. I have too say, this has never ever been a subject with weed. Secondly, weed is now a political weapon. When politics gets involved expect the truth to get buried. There are so many lies and misinformation on weed for decades and now it has exploded to absurd levels as probably this "new research". What we do know with absolute certainty is being fat leads to everything can go wrong. Ad some alcohol, sugary food, junk food. Yeah you're going to have a stroke or heart problems. I've never heard or seen an active thin weed smoker report strokes or heart attacks. I don't think this is a thing and I know a lot of weed users who also knows a lot of weed users and on and on, and nope, no reports like this at all. I'm calling BS on this one. BTW weed users are some of the healthiest people around, and yes you can use too much like everything else in life moderation is key brah.
Been in EMS for 35 years. Never, ever, heard of or saw anyone have heart problems or a stroke from weed. This is just a deflection and propaganda to persuade people that the vaccines aren’t to blame.
truth
Thank you for this, Phil! Reading through all these comments, it amazes me how many people are still stuck in the old false "refer madness" propaganda. I've used medical cannabis for the last 3 years and never been healthier.
I notice a lot of people continue to refer to it as a "drug" instead of the medicine that it is and historically has been. ONly when the pharmaceutical industry felt threatened by it was it prohibited, and referred to as a drug. My eyes are rolling right now
Exactly! Thank you for pointing that out.
It's the vaxecution. This is a stupid argument
Come on, man. Cannabis has been with us for eons. But the link to heart attacks was only found after the Covid vaccines started causing heart attacks and they're desperate for cover. Other newly found causes for heart attacks include standing up too fast, and laughing too hard.
They know people are on to their BS vaccines and they are doing everything to cover their backsides. I’ve lost a lot of respect for the medical profession.
Add horn honking in Canada
So where's the association between weed and strokes? It seems to me like your work is being plagued by 'confounders', like the clot shots. Without evidence to even associate weed with strokes - you appear to be plagued with the problem of 'confirmation bias'.
So what you're saying is that there's "an association" between cannabis, and heart attacks. Could it be that people who smoke weed more than once a month are also more likely to smoke cigarettes, or drink alcohol, or eat red meat or pork, or salty foods?
What's the reduction in overall life expectancy, for people who smoke weed more than once a month? Does it matter if it's Sativa or Indica? Inquiring minds want to know.
Generations of drug warriors, going back to Harry Anslinger, and William Randolph Hearst, want to know why they couldn't manage to make these "association"s...
As an aside - that "Together Trial" that you pointed towards as proving a lack of efficacy for Ivermectin (despite all of the other trials and studies pointing in just the opposite direction. https://www.cureus.com/articles/82162-ivermectin-prophylaxis-used-for-covid-19-a-citywide-prospective-observational-study-of-223128-subjects-using-propensity-score-matching) appears to both fail to prove what was claimed ... But ALSO have serious -designed-to-fail - design flaws.

And he’s vaxxed and boosted.
Alex please highlight the fact he chased a black man after hearing bottle rockets and held him at gunpoint with a shotgun. He faced no charges and actually marched with BLM during the Floyd protests. You cannot make this shit up....
As someone who smoked pot heavily from about 15-45 I can honestly say that I would have been better off without it. It kind of dulled my brain down, which allowed me to suffer fools to a much greater extent than if I hadn’t been high. I think I would have been an insufferable know it all (I was anyway but the weed made me not care enough to correct my friends) and not had many friends…but on the flip side I would be much healthier and wealthier 😂
I had a TIA in 2020, I believe it was because I smoked. I quit once I read about possible causes, luckily I just had a TIA and nothing more, and it was a reason not to get the vaccine, and saved me with physician exemptions.
OMG, Is Fatterman wearing a hooded sweatshirt in that photo? What size? XXXXXXL? I thought it was his bath robe. Good lord.
I was confused by that. Looks like he's starting a religion in that photo.
Bootsorourke, my make me laugh and think at the same time
we both need that 💕
I am a resident of PA so this election has some significance for us. All the local news coverage of Fetterman focuses on his desperation to legalize weed. I'm not sure he has any other platform.
I'm from PA too, Scranton area. I'm embarrassed anyone over the age of 25 would vote for someone over weed legalization.
...and he may not have any other major campaign funders, would be my irresponsible hot take.
Which booster is this guy on?
Live in a state that legalized it - buzzed drivers all over the place. Everything in excess including alcohol will always bring about danger to the users and non users.
Maybe he just shook out his duvet too briskly
😂😂😂
Jon….. Dr Kory stated that more overweight bald men ended up sick , on vents. Treatment was to block part of the testosterone pathway.. or is the moral of the story pot smoking, bald,obese men eat too many hot pockets.?
👇🏼👆🏼
It is all the fault of cannabis, of course. ;) I have fact checkers’ words — you’ll see these in a few days in USA Today— that biologists have verified it is not the vaccine. In other news, they are still trying to determine Ketnaji’s gender.
New Mexico Senator Ray Luhan had a stroke recently. Maryland Senator Van Hollen had a stroke this weekend. And Democrat Senate frontrunner Fetterman also suffered a stroke. Hmmm. I don't remember so many Senators having strokes before. Probably just a coincidence.
The media will soon stop reporting their party affiliation.
Unfortunately NOT a stroke of luck…
All of these cowardly aconfrontationalist folks out there who get all pissed off at my comments, tell us how you’re going to solve this horrific division and a president that is so divisive, I’m waiting for him to slip and say that certain people should be killed to “protect” this country…
Amazingly, he’ll probably name the likes of you…
There is only one way to solve the division. We need to embrace what we have in common while we recognize our differences. Where we have differences, we need to allow different states to have different laws. That is how it was supposed to be. The attempt to impose one ideology on all 330 million Americans is the problem and the cause of division.
I genuinely ask this, how would you have resolved World War II? My money, you would’ve absolutely abhorred the idea of a nuclear bomb, and you would’ve sacrificed hundreds of thousands if not millions of Americans and other allied forces to go into Japan just to hopefully win out the attrition of numbers…
Unless, you’re a buddy of Neville Chamberlain and you just would’ve surrendered to Japan and Germany back in 1940?…
I don’t speak Japanese or German, but if we listened to you back in 1945, I’d be saying in those languages, “you’re fucked in the head!”…
Marijuana isn't good for you, but it still shouldn't be illegal. People need to make their own choices, whether about alcohol, marijuana, or death jabs.
Actually, it has been found to have many health benefits; hence the medicinal use.
It's no business of yours what people choose to put in their body. That goes for vaccines and it also goes for drugs of any kind. Leveraging the State to carry out your ideologies is essentially the act of hiring a hit man.
The State has no right to tell you that you can't get an abortion or that you can't smoke weed or that you have to put a needle in your arm.
The State is a violent mafia organization that uses violence and coercion to steal the fruits of your labor and it uses knee-jerk emotional reaction and ideology to gain whatever popular support it can for continuing to run its abhorrent protection racket.
Don't play into it. You can have your opinions about marijuana. But don't go damning someone who's trying to take the regulation of it out of State hands (as it should be in each individual's personal hands, instead).
Thank you!!
Spoiler alert: he was a prime candidate for a stroke &/or heart attack even without cannabis use. Estimating he is 100-150 pounds overweight, has high blood pressure and is on statins.
Agreed, it's like the libs saying meat loaf died because he wasn't vaxxed
Stop ignoring 2000 Mules.
they took it down many places that censors work. NOT IGNORED BUT REMOVED FROM VIEW
I wonder if Willie Nelson knows about this?
every adult should have the right to use whatever drug they want as long as you don't require communist health care services for which healthy people will have to pay.
I would be happy to legalize everything if they stopped stealing my money via taxes for their social service sheet.
To be fair, "linked to" isn't "caused by." What's the absolute risk in the groups studied?
when we aren't at peace with ourselves or with God, we tend to get addicted to immediate gratification, be it junk food, mental tv/media stimulation, buying things...the hunt, getting sucked into another fight, getting angry (road rage), nicotene, caffeine, donuts, porn...you name yours. God invites us every day to get still and quiet and seek him and start fresh. Generally what gets me off track is forgetting gratitude throughout the day and then I look up and I've drank a whole bottle of wine and watched 3 hours of tv and snacked like a fool. Faith to choose to live our best self with God is an everyday choice, we never 'master' it, there is just enough for today and tomorrow we start over and humble ourselves and ask for help and be grateful for everything we can remind ourselves of. All addictions are covering pain, unresolved childhood traumas, and the trauma of not having intimacy with ourselves right now in the present. Pot and alcohol steal that from us and prolong the agony, when I could be out hiking in nature or go kayaking in my backyard, but I regularly forget God and get pulled away by the madness of everyone around me.
The American dream since, at least 2000:
Do what’s popular easy and convenient, who has time to think and work…
