The Marijuana Cartel

Attached a link to an article titled "Marijuana ads signal new strategy in push to legalize" highlighting the growing political power of the marijuana lobby . Its tactics are based on a scorched earth policy: anyone who is considered critical of their goals has to get out of their way. In the case of Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is portrayed as the unlikely villain, a politician willing to send sick marijuana-using patients to prison. She found herself the target in television advertisements that ran in Florida last month, part of a new trend in the pot wars. What was her sin: she called for evidence based marijuana treatment as a condition for her support of medical marijuana. Of course this is being considered heresy because the pot lobby is interested in sales and big profits without any scrutiny by regulators or the FDA. Patient safety measures are not required because pot is safe. Got it?! So lets buckle up because we all will be the target of the new marijuana cartel. Yours Bernd
