Seemingly every single day you can hear some or other lawmaker talk about the “dangers of marijuana” citing bogus studies that simply are not based in science at all. In fact, many of the studies they cite are paid for by anti-cannabis lobbies and special interest groups. Whenever these studies are reviewed and replicated, the numbers hardly ever add up.
Nonetheless, a long list of political figures continue to spew this kind of “imitation science” without any consequence whatsoever. To break it down to the bare bones of the situation, these politicians are essentially promoting well-constructed lies, attempting to sway public opinion about the topic of cannabis legality. These are people who do not represent the people’s interests and are known to receive hefty campaign contributions from industries that benefit from the illegality of cannabis at the expense of the masses.
