Government Uses Tax Payers Money For This. Will It Help?

How about it people, our tax money is going to fund something that doesn’t even exist. CANNABIS ADDICTION! $4 million will be used to establish the nation’s first-ever “Center on Cannabis Addiction” in La Jolla, Califronia. It has been proven time and time, that Marijuana is not addicting. Now the Government believes that the new craze is the scare of “Marijuana Addiction”.

The government hopes to sway people to believe that if the government is actually spending $4 million to establish a center on Cannabis addiction, people will believe it! “Hey if the government says so, it has to be true” right? WRONG. Even our government can be wrong. Instead of using that money to go to a “Cannabis Addiction Center” why not fund it for the schools? or even California libraries. There are so many other USEFULL things that can be done with $4 million. The government now notices that Marijuana is becoming popular. As the Cannabis culture and community grow, there also will be another side trying to suppress it.

“But don’t try telling that to the mainstream press — which recently published headlines worldwide alleging, “Marijuana withdrawal rivals that of nicotine.” The alleged “study” behind the headlines involved all of 12 participants, each of whom were longtime users of pot and tobacco, and assessed the self-reported moods of folks after they were randomly chosen to abstain from both substances. Big surprise: they weren’t happy.

And don’t try telling Big Pharma — which hopes to cash in on the much-hyped “pot and addiction” craze by touting psychoactive prescription drugs like Lithium to help hardcore smokers kick the marijuana habit.

And certainly don’t try telling the drug “treatment” industry, whose spokespeople are quick to warn that marijuana “treatment” admissions have risen dramatically in recent years, but neglect to explain that this increase is due entirely to the advent of drug courts sentencing minor pot offenders to rehab in lieu of jail. According to state and national statistics, up to 70 percent of all individuals in drug treatment for marijuana are placed there by the criminal justice system. Of those in treatment, some 36 percent had not even used marijuana in the 30 days prior to their admission. These are the “addicts”?

Indeed, the concept of pot addiction is big business — even if the evidence in support of the pseudosyndrome is flimsy at best.”
