Provocations: Legalized marijuana snake oil (DAVID NEESE COLUMN) 05/20/2019 |
Contrary to what you've been told over and over, it is not a preposterous assertion that marijuana is a gateway drug to cocaine, heroin, meth and such. Not everybody who smokes marijuana graduates to harder narcotics, true. But most of those who do go on to the harder stuff start off with weed. opinion, snake oil, Neese |
Marijuana Bill Would Endanger SC Children, Public Safety 04/01/2018 |
Of course, the Compassionate Care bill is neither compassionate nor caring for the vast majority of South Carolina citizens, but is a poorly veiled attempt to legalize recreational marijuana. South Carolina, Fraud, opinion |

Substance abuse rarely starts with opiate use on its own 09/02/2017 |
We therefore must educate our youngsters, parents and educators before any use of marijuana or alcohol begins.

Think twice before passing medical marijuana laws 11/30/2015 |
State after state is legalizing medical marijuana, but doctors and patient groups aren’t demanding these laws. The AMA doesn’t want them, nor does the American Cancer Society. The American Academy of Pediatrics is against medical marijuana and the Glaucoma Foundation warns patients not to use it. Prescription cannabinoids are also much less likely to be abused or diverted to teenage use. And they’re more long acting, which is good for genuine patients who don’t want to be stoned all the time. So there’s no reason for anyone to smoke marijuana. The main people who benefit from medical marijuana laws are people who want to get high or who want to sell the drug. legalization, medical association, opinion |
