Should Weed be Legalized?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
No. The short answer is no. Now for medicinal purposes,
I can definitely see an argument. But to have recreational
marijuana legalized as it is, for example here in Massachusetts,
or in Colorado or in many other states now in
the country. This is now what many on the left,

(00:21):
led by George Soros, are pushing for, and Trump now
is under tremendous pressure to reclassify cannabis, pot weed, whatever
you want to call it, as a Class three drug
instead of what it currently is, a Class one drug.

(00:42):
A class one drug is similar, say, like to LSD
or cocaine or heroin. These are hard drugs considered class
one because they have no medicine and they're also highly potent,
highly addictive. Many now supporters of pot or pot legalization
want it reclassified as a class three drug, similar to

(01:05):
say ketamine or steroids or testosterone, which do have medicinal
or medicine purposes, and of course are either non addictive
or very mildly addictive. My friends, wherever you stand on
the marijuana issue, what is now absolutely undeniable is that

(01:27):
as it's become more readily available and legalized in state
after state, it has become infinitely more potent, infinitely more
powerful and infinitely more addictive and deadly. The THCHC content
has skyrocketed. Your parents's pot is not today's pot. Your

(01:49):
parent's pot was maybe two three percent THCHC content. You
get a little buzz, you get a little high, and
that's about it. Now what they're selling at these marijuana dispensaries,
and I don't care if it's you know, from a
bong or a joint or an edible, whatever it may be.
It is fifteen twenty, twenty five percent in some cases

(02:13):
as high as ninety percent THCHC. That is highly addictive.
It is also very powerful. You get an immense high,
but it causes and these are studies now that are
confirming this. It tends to lead to mental health issues,
not for everybody, but for many depression, anxiety, some of

(02:36):
them even have suicidal thoughts. Obviously, now it is becoming
like nicotine in terms of lungs, throat cancer, even for
your heart. In other words, there are serious physical, mental,
and emotional side effects to this new marijuana which is
loaded up with THHC. To President Trump, do not classify

(03:01):
marijuana not as it is now. If they're going to
regulate the THC content and make it much lower. That's
a different story. But if big business, and it's now
become a multi billion dollar business, wants to continue to
hook people on marijuana by loading it up with THC,

(03:22):
then it clearly is a Class one drug, highly addictive,
and a potential gateway drug, and it should not be
legal in all fifty states to the Red States, George
Soros is backing this initiative to legalize it. That tells
you everything you need to know. No to legalized recreational marijuana.

(03:48):
It's done enough damage already. And imagine with so many
young people on it now, if we make it legal
throughout the entire country, within ten years, a majority of
Americans will be using marijuana, pot, whatever on a daily basis.

(04:08):
We are on the road to becoming a nation of stoners,
and a nation of stoners is not, and never can be,
a free people.
