Some states track substance use child related deaths. here are several From AZ: Local review teams identified the type of substances used by the child or by other individuals contributing to the death. Overall, Marijuana was the most common substance used, followed by alcohol and opiates Page 100 azdhs.gov/documents/preventi…

Mother used cannabis while pregnant. This case is unique in that other possible causes of death can be eliminated. With growing use of marijuana by pregnant women and increases in newborn drug screening of umbilical cord homogenate, more cases of neonatal death due to acute marijuana toxicity could be discovered. The positive finding of marijuana in the umbilical cord provided evidence of maternal high-dose marijuana use in late pregnancy. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

Grok did not agree with your "the whole plot" conspiracy theory. You said "thats exactly it you just proved my point the whole plot is that they want in but create studies to fund against it as well they want in cheap too so what better way than to wreak havoc and get your gov buddies involved" Grok said: "Direct funding of anti-cannabis studies by Big Tobacco is not prominently documented in available sources. Tobacco firms have a notorious history of shaping science to downplay risks of their products and have funded nicotine-related research, but recent records focus more on their own harm-reduction products (e.g., e-cigarettes, heated tobacco) rather than cannabis opposition. Historical drug policy overlaps (e.g., broader "Reefer Madness" era efforts) involved multiple industries, but specific tobacco-to-anti-cannabis funding ties appear weaker or indirect compared to pharma and alcohol"

Where exactly is simple possession of weed a felony? Why a schedule 1? Read the definition ofschedule 1. Studies have shown the dispensary medical weed not to be effective for most of the alleged benefits. Despite medical professionals stating weed should not be used to treat Glaucoma some states list it as a qualifying condition for medical weed. 1)Evidence is insufficient for the use of cannabis or cannabinoids for most medical indications. Clear guidance from clinicians is essential to support safe, evidence-based decision-making. Clinicians should weigh benefits against risks when engaging patients in informed discussions about cannabis or cannabinoid use. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4129… 2) The Bottom Line About Marijuana and Glaucoma The largest association of eye physicians and surgeons in the world does not endorse cannabis or its derivatives as a glaucoma treatment. Do not self-medicate with marijuana in an attempt to treat glaucoma. You can lose your vision if you don’t have a reliable, effective treatment for glaucoma. Speak with your ophthalmologist to find the glaucoma treatment option that’s best for you. Tell your doctor if you do use marijuana regularly. Although marijuana does lower the eye pressure, it also lowers blood pressure. Lower blood pressure could result in reduced blood supply to the optic nerve, which in turn might harm the optic nerve. Therefore it is possible that even though marijuana does lower the eye pressure, its use could conceivably make the vision loss from glaucoma worse! aao.org/eye-health/tips-prev…

Your statement "no direct organ toxicity profile" is not true. Here are a few examples for you. 1) Smoked cannabis, regardless of how it is smoked, can harm lung tissues & cause scarring and damage to small blood vessels 2) Cannabis can make the heart beat faster and raise blood pressure immediately after use. It could also lead to increased risk of stroke, heart disease, and other vascular diseases. 3) Cannabis is a cancer risk. Here is an example, brain damage from Acute hippocampal encephalopathy "24-year-old man was admitted to the clinic in Rabat experiencing status epilepticus. He reported a daily consumption of 8-10 cannabis joints since the age of 18 years, with no use of alcohol or tobacco. •Toxicological blood test positive for cannabis, but negative for alcohol or other drugs •Cerebral MRI showed bilaterally symmetrical swelling of the hippocampi with high signal anomalies in T2-FLAIR and T2 sequences, hyperintense diffusion, and no enhancement after contrast injection Diagnosis: Acute hippocampal encephalopathy" medscape.co.uk/viewarticle/b… ]

Phishie, your OD statement is deeply flawed. No one has died from a tobacco OD. Even though tobacco smoking has decreased significantly, 480,000 people a year still die from tobacco. This includes 40,000 from second hand smoke. Cannabis and tobacco are both smoked and produce toxic 2nd hand smoke.

Your statement prohibition does not reduce drug use ignores what has happened in Japan and Singapore. Compare the OD deaths in Japan to USA OD deaths. "There is zero tolerance towards any kind of drug-related crime. Simply put, just don't do it. Be aware that cannabis is treated in the same way as other drugs. Possession of a small amount can lead to a prison sentence, so please don't bring cannabis into the country; even if it is prescribed in your country of origin" japan.travel/en/plan/local-l….

It appears cannabis advocates rely on testimonials, anecdotal evidence and false equivalency's like your pen caps. Ignored is science based evidence.

@learnaboutsam @KevinSabet @LNseven5 @JeromeAdamsMD @IASIC3 @AmHeartAdvocacy @AmericanCancer @CoDoc442 @EveryBrainMatt Attached is the Grok response to the 2 posted studies below. It does not mention the American Cancer Societies "Risks of Using Cannabis for People with Cancer". The "no association to cardio events" is what we expect from the cannabis lobby. I wonder who is behind these responses?
@JonMartinEsq Senator, I suggest you inform the public of the negative side effects of Trulieve's "medical" marijuana. 1 of 2 "Additionally, patients who consumed CAN(cannabis) were more likely for their cancer to recur and had more rapid cancer recurrence than those who did not. This unfavorable effect of CAN is predominantly seen in white patients " pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3973… 2 of 2 Medical cannabis authorization was associated with an increased risk of ED visits or hospitalization for CV events including stroke and ACS. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3450…

Notice on this post it has changed its response about cancer and heart health. Likely because I sent Grok the info from the American Cancer Society about the risks of cannabis use for cancer patients. Keep that in mind if you see inaccurate posts, send more accurate info to Grok and it may change their responses. .

From Canada, increase in cannabis psychosis: Rose said the program has seen a large increase in cases of cannabis-induced psychosis over the past several years, especially in young people. "That can trigger psychosis in people that may have a vulnerable brain, and maybe they did have an underlying, psychotic disorder, but it's exacerbating symptoms," she said. cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/e…

@TB_Times TB Times, what are the benefits of inhaling the dangerous chemicals in cannabis smoke? The vote yes for legalization editorial by TB Times makes it clear they are acting more like Big Tobacco, not the social justice warriors they want you to believe they are. They say "so we aren’t going to spend much time rehashing the health arguments". They are doing exactly what the cannabis lobby wants and Big Tobacco did for years. Denialist propaganda is a common scheme used by both industries. 1 of 2: Here is a comparison of tobacco and cannabis smoke. "Chemicals such as nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, and aromatic amines were found in marijuana smoke at concentrations three to five times higher than tobacco smoke" Hydrogen cyanide was used in nazi concentration camps. More people die (480,000 a year)from tobacco use more than any other substance including alcohol. See 2 of 2. Table 2 Summary of known health effects for compounds found in smoke particles Chemicals such as nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, and aromatic amines were found in marijuana smoke at concentrations three to five times higher than tobacco smoke17.

2 of 2: The TB Times editorial board did not share this in their editorial about marijuana. They said ", so we aren’t going to spend much time rehashing the health arguments". Cannabis is smoked just like tobacco with similar toxic chemicals. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Cigarette smoking causes more than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States. This is nearly one in five deaths. Smoking causes more deaths each year than the following causes combined: HIV Illegal drug use Alcohol use Motor vehicle injuries Firearm-related incidents cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statist…

@janedraws @StuckInSp4ce @ombudsmanBob @FloridaGOPWomen @FloridaGOP @MiamiHerald @TB_Times 1 of 2: The deception of the cannabis industry starts with "what about Alcohol". Cannabis is smoked like tobacco. They do not mention tobacco because that would remind people tobacco and cannabis smoke have similar toxins and similar health threats. Per CDC: Smoking causes more deaths each year ,480,000, than the following causes combined: HIV Illegal drug use Alcohol use Motor vehicle injuries Firearm-related incidents See 2 of 2 comparison of tobacco and cannabis smoke. cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statist…
It’s a FACT: Marijuana is safer than alcohol. Let’s end the prohibition this November #YesOn3
