Smoke Screen

Today's marijuana is not woodstock weed. It's not what most baby boomers used in college. It's not what most millennials used and it's been essentially industrialized To be much stronger than it ever has and I think we're downplaying the negative impacts for example the psychosis risk

It's not about you know, the people wanting to just sink kumbaya and I'm trying to drum circle and smoke some joints. This is about wall street. These are the people that have never smoked marijuana in their life But they have a stock index that they follow every day with the different stocks with the marijuana companies that are operating on it This is about money. This is about corporate capture

But the people selling this the people that are making money. You're not thankfully yet as far as I know selling marijuana That's good. You don't have your own marijuana brand I'm happy about that and I commend you for that because you probably could in massachusetts and make some money I'm glad you're not doing that But the people selling this they want you to use as much of their product as possible because they rely on addicts on people using their product daily For their main profit margins the 80 20 rule the average responsible quote-unquote user is not an important person for them Same thing with alcohol same thing with tobacco same thing with opioids

But sure, of course there are benefits

I don't think that that sort of outweighs the risk to society when you make it more available and accessible
