    Our son's life was taken from this earth by an "alleged" impaired driver who was under the influence of active THC and alcohol. The reason I have to put "alleged" in quotation marks is that it's still going through the court system. Why do people think it's okay to legalize another substance that can kill when people get behind the wheel under the influence of it? Our lives have changed forever. I am so sad. And so sad for Jennifer's family & friends. This madness needs to stop.

    Drug Free America Foundation is REALLY “Straight INC”. They changed their name because of all the CHILD ABUSE LAWSUITS that were piling up after they TERRORIZED CHILDREN in the 80’s and 90’s in their “North Korean style” fanatical drug programs which did more HARM TO CHILDREN than good! WHY doesn’t DFAF EVER reference their REAL name? STRAIGHT INC... LIARS. CHILD ABUSERS. Part of the PROBLEM, not part of the solution. DFAF way of doing things has led America straight into an EPIDEMIC! BEWARE, Do a little research before you show any love for Straight Inc. (Drug Free America Foundation)

    Higher concentrations of carcinogens do not necessarily indicate greater risks of lung cancer. The carcinogens in marijuana smoke may not be as readily absorbed as those in cigs. Also, even heavy users generally don't smoke as much marijuana as cigarettes, because the psychoactive effects of marijuana last ~10x longer. Marijuana is also less addictive, meaning that there will likely be proportionally fewer heavy marijuana smokers vs tobacco smokers resulting in even less cancer risk.

  • @drugfreeamericafound

    Exactly so medical marijuana is just a ruse for young, otherwise healthy adults to get high. Not for the sick and dying.

  • @drugfreeamericafound
    @drugfreeamericafound 11 років тому

    Yes, mold, mildew, carcinogens (more than cigarettes), insect by products, bug spray, fertilizer residue, and on and on and on. FDA approved means strict processing and packaging standards you aren't getting whatever.

  • @drugfreeamericafound
    @drugfreeamericafound 11 років тому

    Actually that has already been done its called Marinol and Cesamet, they are both FDA approved for the sick and dying. And it is only available through a prescription, not grown in your back yard.

  • @drugfreeamericafound
    @drugfreeamericafound 11 років тому

    What it means is it is not going to the sick and dying it is being used and abused by young otherwise healthy adults, which is not what it was intended for.

    The voters of CA Approved Medical Marijuana for "ANY illness for which marijuana provides relief.". Like it or not, the reporter has the right to try cannabis for his back pain. It appears this report attempted to mislead people into thinking something is wrong with the reporter trying cannabis for back pain. This is as the voters intended.
