Marijuana U.S.A.

"Cannabis isn’t a top issue for Abigail Spanberger, the next governor of Virginia.
.
But...the Democratic nominee’s election by a comfortable margin on Tuesday – and with it, prospects of the long-awaited opening of what’s projected to be a billion-dollar adult-use marijuana market – is the best news and the biggest opportunity for the $32 Billion legal industry in years.
.
Virginia Democrats swept the field on Tuesday, capturing the governor’s office and boosting their majority in the state House of Delegates to nearly two-thirds, the largest in decades.
.
That means the removal of the last and biggest obstacle blocking the launch of legal adult-use cannabis sales in Virginia, where cannabis has been legal for adults 21 and older to possess since the state became the first in the South to legalize adult-use cannabis in 2021: a Republican governor."

Know the Effects, Risks and Side Effects of Marijuana​

Marijuana use comes with real risks that can impact a person’s health and life.

Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal substance in the U.S. and its use is growing. Marijuana use among all adult age groups, both sexes, and pregnant women is going up. At the same time, the perception of how harmful marijuana use can be is declining. Increasingly, young people today do not consider marijuana use a risky behavior.

But there are real risks for people who use marijuana, especially youth and young adults, and women who are pregnant or nursing. Today’s marijuana is stronger than ever before. People can and do become addicted to marijuana.

Approximately 1 in 10 people who use marijuana will become addicted. When they start before age 18, the rate of addiction rises to 1 in 6.

Marijuana Risks​

Marijuana use can have negative and long-term effects:

Brain icon
Brain health: Marijuana can cause permanent IQ loss of as much as 8 points when people start using it at a young age. These IQ points do not come back, even after quitting marijuana.

Gears icon
Mental health: Studies link marijuana use to depression, anxiety, suicide planning, and psychotic episodes. It is not known, however, if marijuana use is the cause of these conditions.

Bicycle icon
Athletic Performance: Research shows that marijuana affects timing, movement, and coordination, which can harm athletic performance.

Driving sign
Driving: People who drive under the influence of marijuana can experience dangerous effects: slower reactions, lane weaving, decreased coordination, and difficulty reacting to signals and sounds on the road.

Baby’s health and development: Marijuana use during pregnancy may cause fetal growth restriction, premature birth, stillbirth, and problems with brain development, resulting in hyperactivity and poor cognitive function. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other chemicals from marijuana can also be passed from a mother to her baby through breast milk, further impacting a child’s healthy development.

Arrow icon
Daily life: Using marijuana can affect performance and how well people do in life. Research shows that people who use marijuana are more likely to have relationship problems, worse educational outcomes, lower career achievement, and reduced life satisfaction.
 
"As we celebrate the vital contributions of America’s veterans, we must not forget that many of them are still being denied access to a critically important therapeutic tool: medical cannabis.
.
That’s right, VA doctors remain forbidden from recommending medical cannabis to veterans – even in jurisdictions where it is state-legal and regulated."

"According to a recent UPI news wire story, researchers are now proposing prescribing the psychoactive prescription drug Lithium to so-called "pot addicts" to help them kick the habit. But just who are these alleged "addicts"?
.
According to the latest statistics from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a startling high number of U.S. government-defined marijuana "addicts" don’t even smoke pot! That’s right, according to a recent DHS report, more than one-third of Americans entered into drug treatment with a primary diagnosis of marijuana "dependency" haven’t used pot in the month prior to their admission.
.
How’s this possible? It’s possible because the majority of folks admitted to "drug treatment" for pot don’t need treatment at all, but were arrested and ordered by a judge to attend rehab in lieu of going to jail.
.
Nevertheless, the White House (and, whacked-out Jesus-freaks) touts this phony "data" as evidence that marijuana is allegedly more dangerous than cocaine or heroin, and NIDA touts these numbers as evidence to support multi-million dollar "Cannabis Addiction Centers".

Researchers are still claiming marijuana use adversely affects the human body sometimes in permanent ways.
 
"Most commercially available hemp products sold at retail stores in Missouri contain quantities of THC well above federal standards, according to an analysis provided by the Missouri Cannabis Trade Commission.
.
Consistent with findings from other jurisdictions, most unregulated products tested positive for levels of THC exceeding federal guidelines (0.3 percent THC). Some products contained synthetically derived cannabinoids. Nearly one-third of samples tested positive for the presence of potentially harmful contaminants, like heavy metals.
.
NORML and other groups have urged the FDA to establish regulatory guidelines governing the production, testing, labeling, and marketing of hemp-derived cannabinoid products. In 2021, NORML issued a report on delta-8-THC and other novel synthetically derived cannabinoids, cautioning that these unregulated products are often mislabeled and may contain impurities."

"Nearly two out of three U.S. adults say that “the use of marijuana should be legal,” according to nationwide polling data compiled by Gallup.
.
That percentage represents a slight dip from 2024 data, when 68 percent of respondents backed legalization. The percentage change was primarily driven by declining support among Republicans – only 40 percent of whom endorse marijuana legalization.

By contrast, 85 percent of Democrats support legalization – a near all-time high, as do 66 percent of Independents.
