Health Czar Shows Amazing Ignorance About Marijuana

Posted on by

“In the Internet era, members of the general public have unprecedented access to scientific facts and figures. Among the resources now available at one’s fingertips is the National Center for Biotechnology Information database. NCBI is an NIH.gov electronic search engine that allows the public to instantly read the abstracts of hundreds of thousands of peer-reviewed scientific papers on virtually any subject, including an estimated 20,000 papers on cannabis alone.  So why then does the head of the National Institutes of Health purport to know so little about the science of pot?”

Gamblers wager billions on unregulated Bitcoin betting sites

Posted on by

“Betters like Bitcoin because they receive their winnings right away. There are no bank wires or deposits to wait on because Bitcoin is itself a payment processor.  And in the same way the Internet breaks down international boundaries, the uniformity of Bitcoin enables international gambling without the hassles of currency exchanges.  The clearest anti-gambling laws regulate payment processors (like credit card companies and banks) that would funnel winnings from the operators to the betters. But Bitcoin is a decentralized payment processing system. So there’s no person or organization to prosecute.”

Colorado’s New Cannabis Economy

Posted on by

“What would have happened if one or two states had somehow managed to legalize alcohol during prohibition? Most likely, those states would have become centers of entrepreneurship with retail outlets, medicines, and innovation in equipment, machinery, and other forms of capital related to alcohol-related industries.  With the recent legalization of recreational cannabis use in both Washington state and Colorado, we’re able to see a similar experiment in action.  While the 18th Amendment prohibiting alcohol production and sales precluded state-level legalization, federal drug laws enjoy no such constitutional backing.”

DEA Agent Joins Marijuana Industry

Posted on by

“While Washington State is still adjusting to many changes since legalizing recreational marijuana—from growing space size to the number of licenses to give out—one of the biggest changes may be Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) employees going to work in the private sector. Reason TV sat down with Patrick Moen, a former supervisory special agent with the DEA, who now works as compliance director and senior counsel at Privateer Holdings, a private equity firm that invests in cannabis.”

Mark Thornton on Prohibition, Marijuana and Loss of Elite Control

Posted on by

“Marijuana legalization is only a small part of the changes being made, but it is surely a crack in the seamless surface of economic and sociopolitical control that internationalists forged in the 20th century. It is not control that elites yield easily or graciously, but we wonder if those behind this startling legalization will lose control of the process as they seem to be losing control in so many other areas. Whether it is global warming, the war on terror, the covert wars in the Middle East and now the Ukraine, the control exercised by the globalist conspiracy seems to be slipping. To a great degree it depended on secrecy and that secrecy has been ripped away in this past decade.”

Marketing Genius: Girl Scout Sells Cookies Outside Marijuana Clinic

Posted on by

“13-year-old Danielle Lei, a Girl Scout in San Francisco, is one heck of a smart marketer. On Monday, she sold 117 boxes of Girl Scout cookies in two hours. Her location? Outside a medical marijuana clinic.  Moreover, the Green Cross Cannabis Collective was pretty ‘high’ on the idea too: ‘It’s no secret that cannabis is a powerful appetite stimulant, so we knew this would be a very beneficial endeavor for the girls,’ Holli Bert, a staff member at The Green Cross, told Mashable in an email. ‘It’s all about location, and what better place to sell Girl Scout cookies than outside a medical cannabis collective?'”

Police Chief, Citing Joke Site: ‘Legal Pot Killed 37 People On First Day’

Posted on by

“Testifying against marijuana legalization before the Maryland legislature today, Annapolis Police Chief Michael Pristoop warned of the potentially lethal consequences. ‘The first day of legalization, that’s when Colorado experienced 37 deaths that day from overdose on marijuana,’ Pristoop told the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee. ‘I remember the first day it was decriminalized there were 37 deaths.’  As Sen. Jamie Raskin (D-Montgomery) quickly pointed out, what Pristoop actually remembered was a joke story at The Daily Currant.”
