New York’s wild weed sales prove “Biggest Fool Theory!”

Fly-by-night pot shops operate everywhere in New York City, with little attempt to stop them. A new state legislature was elected; so can a new crop of legislators put Pandora’s evils back into the box? Can the state admit failure and undo its reckless law which legalized cannabis?

Meanwhile, Canadians who invested in cannabis stocks and companies lost $131 billion dollars.  In Colorado, on November 30, it was reported that the cannabis industry has seen the largest downturn ever.   After three years of cannabis in Illinois, sales are flat, despite the addition of new licenses. 

So why did New York legislators fall for a failed policy?

It’s the Bigger Fool Theory:  If you bought say a gas station on the same corner where 6 other operators had failed, why would you do the same?  They may be fools, but you were the bigger fool.  New York is the biggest fool of all!   Officials should have known that the black market expands and can’t be controlled once you legalize pot.

Dr. Roneet Lev, host of High Truths podcast and Vice President of IASIC, is a San Diego emergency room doctor, will give insight on how the medical field has been impacted by California’s Prop 64.

Medical marijuana users should not be allowed to own guns

Guns are a hot topic. This year a 21-year-old “isolated stoner “killed multiple people at the 4th of July Parade in his hometown. The most notable mass shooters in Illinois– the Highland Park Shooter and the Aurora factory shooter – were marijuana users, presumably heavy users. Both men were able to bypass FOID laws to buy or own guns.

Gary Martin, the disgruntled employee from the Henry Pratt factory in Aurora, IL, used a gun to kill five fellow employees in 2019.  When police arrived at the scene, they shot and killed him.

Martin had THC, caffeine, nicotine, and THC metabolites as the only drugs in his system when he died. *  Continue reading Medical marijuana users should not be allowed to own guns →
