Here's another study showing that “medical marijuana” is by no means medicine and should not be regarded as such. Almost daily, a new study emerges that debunks the supposed “benefits” of marijuana. nypost.com/2026/01/19/health…
Medical marijuana's pain promise is under fire — again

Medical marijuana's pain promise is under fire — again

The scientific review comes as Americans are increasingly turning to the plant to cope with chronic pain, sleep difficulties, anxiety and a wide range of other health concerns.

The rate of drivers seriously or fatally injured that tested positive for marijuana rose an astounding 50% during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. More must be done to educate on the harms of marijuana-impaired driving.

Fascinating: efficacy-safety data from clinical trials driving consensus on hydroxychloroquine. Yet politicians keep voting on marijuana as a medicine without demands of rigorous proof-some states permit marijuana use for 30+medical conditions without a shred of quality evidence

Tragically, this is another case of seeing the slippery slope in action again. Euthanasia is a dangerous public policy. Instead of trying to reform prisoners, the Swiss will allow them to kill themselves. @forcedexit @HumanLifeAction thelocal.ch/20200207/swiss-a…

Switzerland backs assisted suicide in prisons

Sick prisoners will be allowed to request assisted suicide in Switzerland although the modalities still have to be worked out, prison system officials said on Thursday.
