It is easy to demonize the status quo, and it is certainly true that there are powerful industries and lobbies whose interests could be threatened by cannabis, but it is a cheap argument to use, because of course the cannabis industry also has its own interests in mind.
PS. I live in WA state, and I'm all for legalized marijuana, but I dislike this sort of lazy intellectual presentation that uses emotional appeals and anecdotes instead of diving down a bit deeper.
- intopieces 11y agoIf I recall correctly, there aren't many large studies because the government refuses to fund them. Overall though, I share your concern. The arguments the chemists makes are ones I've heard before from cannabis activists and while I sympathize, I'm always interested in seeing the data for myself.
