CON: Marijuana Today - Setting Record Straight

Source: San Francisco Chronicle 
The public debate over marijuana has been plagued by difficulties, not the least of which is a lack of accurate information. Any policy debate that draws activists promoting their cause is likely to suffer from confusion. But the debate over marijuana has been further muddled by careless or gullible media reports. Too often, journalists are fed misleading advocacy information that they swallow whole.
For instance, one columnist recently charged that worry about the increased potency of today's marijuana is wildly overstated. In fact, he calls such claims "whoppers," because the active ingredient THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) "has only doubled to 4.2 percent from about 2 percent from 1980 to 1997." No wonder the public has trouble getting a clear picture. His source for this information is the Marijuana Policy Project, a group of marijuana legalizers relying on a study that covers just those years. Unfortunately, the columnist did not check his facts with the Drug Enforcement Administration, which monitors scientific studies of marijuana. What does the DEA analysis show? In 1974, the average THC content of marijuana was less than 1 percent. But by 1999, potency averaged 7 percent. Further, unlike the old "ditchweed" and bulk marijuana of the past, there are now far more powerful products to entice youth. The THC of today's sinsemilla averages 14 percent and ranges as high as 30 percent. Even stronger stuff is on the way. The point is that the potency of available marijuana has not merely "doubled," but increased as much as 30 times. Some advocates argued that this increased potency is actually good news, because kids will simply use less. But the data don't support that interpretation. The number of tons of marijuana sold in America is increasing, not decreasing. The number of people seeking medical treatment for marijuana abuse is increasing rapidly, not decreasing. In fact, the number of adolescent marijuana admissions increased 260 percent between 1992 and 1999. The stakes in this debate are high, especially for young people. So widespread is marijuana in today's schools that nearly half of all high school seniors report having tried it by graduation, while a smaller but still alarming number report using it every month -- even everyday. This is a drug that, after all, produces withdrawal symptoms, is associated with learning and memory disturbances and produces behavioral problems for those who become dependent. It's time to face facts: Today's marijuana is a more dangerous drug than the pot of the Woodstock era. It creates tolerance (you need increasing doses to achieve the same effect), and at high doses it induces paranoia or even violence. The haze of misinformation grows even thicker when it comes to the issue of "medical" marijuana. On the face of it, the idea that desperately sick people could be helped by smoking an intoxicating weed seems unlikely, even medieval. It is, in fact, absurd. Smoking marijuana, even if it weren't psychotropic, hardly seems healthy. The threat of lung damage, not to mention exposure to carcinogens and more toxins than those found in tobacco smoke, increases with every "hit." But no less than the New York Times editorialized recently in support of medical marijuana. Amazingly, the paper termed it "life-saving" and claimed it represented "mainstream medical opinion."

Any Republicans in the audience?
This quote's for you.....Abe was a Republican don't you know?Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.

I picked up on your parody of the pee czar's editorial and was playing along. But I was impressed how you showed why we should end the WSOD using Johnny Pee's own words.Give Up Criminalizers and Prohibitionists! Can't you see you are destroying everything this country was founded on? And you Christians WWJD? Somehow I don't think He would declare a war on His own creation.Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance.

Potency Issue Debated
I doubt that much 30% THC herbal cannabis exists anywhere. This is claimed, but assays are not usually available, and are technically fraught with difficulties.THC is produced in the glandular trichomes, and even in the best samples, it can take up only so much space. GW Pharmaceuticals has raised indoor growing to a science, and produces 18-20% THC samples routinely. That is plenty. Contrary to what the propaganda in the article says, it is normal behavior for medicinal and recreational users to stop with fewer inhalations when material is more potent. This is medically advantageous when smoking because there is less potential irritation or exposure to particulates. Vaporization (a word never mentioned by the Feds) is a great advantage and removes the pulmonary risks to a very marked degree.In the next issue of Journal of Cannabis Therapeutics, Mila Jansen, the inventor of the Pollinator and Ice-O-Lator machines for hasish production, has an article. One of her random water hash samples (not even the best) was analyzed, and yielded 52% THC. It was almost 100% trichomes. Rob Clarke, in his book, Hashish! posits a potency limit of 60% for this refined product of the herb.

Digital, you raised a good point!
It was never a common person's responsibility to "refute" government's "numbers". In the last 20 years of listening to the government's crap, I never have had seen any numbers from the government tellin just how many human beings are sitting in cages for growing or toking the herb. I supposed that good ole government and Johnny Pee Walters do not want us to know.. My point is since that 700 thousand human beings did get arrested and there are 6.6 million beings under the system, I have to assume that JUST 1, one, human being sitting in a cage because she/he grew a or too many plants is too much. In another word, it is cruel. I know that you know that. I know that you knew that I knew that. There is no excuse that there are folks who did not know that. There is just no excuse. I am sorry. One would have to be totally so blind, so deaf and soooo dumb to not know that. This is only excuse for such a person who may not know about this.700 hundred thousand Americans arrested for POT and only 2,"two" fucking terrorists. 80% are for possession. That means 140,000 AMERICANS sitting in cages. That is just in one year.Mr. Johnny Pee Walters knew it. If I recalled from previous articles, hey, Johnnny keep saying we do not put human beings in cages for toking or growin this herb.This is a big problem. Since we are the common folks, we do not have the "authorized" numbers. The government know this.And I truly belive that majority of people know this too.ffPS) For those who work for the government, you people have only one warning. YOU knew this. There is no excuse anymore..

Drug Czar Admits Failure
Drug Czar Admits Failure of War Against Cannabisby Dan ButterworthSan Francisco -- In the September 1st edition of the San Francisco Chronicle, Drug Czar John "Pee Is My Middle Initial" Walters admitted that the more than 60-year American war on cannabis is a failure. His article gives the following support for his assertion:"The number of tons of marijuana sold in America is increasing, not decreasing. The number of people seeking medical treatment for marijuana abuse is increasing rapidly, not decreasing. In fact, the number of adolescent marijuana admissions increased 260 percent between 1992 and 1999."Clearly, for such horrendous figures to be accurate after more than 60 years of cannabis prohibition in the United States, the prohibition of this substance must be causing increased usage of cannabis, not decreased use. One might argue that more cannabis is smoked because it is less powerful than that smoked back in the 1960s and 1970s, when cannabis usage was supposedly in its heyday. According to the Drug Czar, this is also not true:"What does the DEA analysis show? In 1974, the average THC content of marijuana was less than 1 percent. But by 1999, potency averaged 7 percent. Further, unlike the old "ditchweed" and bulk marijuana of the past, there are now far more powerful products to entice youth. The THC of today's sinsemilla averages 14 percent and ranges as high as 30 percent."Wow! In other words, not only has cannabis use increased, but cannabis has also become more potent! Surely, the war against cannabis is an utter failure. And the drug czar does not end his tirade against the prohibition of cannabis there:"So widespread is marijuana in today's schools that nearly half of all high school seniors report having tried it by graduation, while a smaller but still alarming number report using it every month -- even everyday."Heaven have mercy! Not only is cannabis use up, but it is even increasing among high school seniors! How much worse can it get, John? "Even stronger stuff is on the way. The point is that the potency of available marijuana has not merely "doubled," but increased as much as 30 times."Great Ceasar's Ghost! There is only one conclusion one can make after reading John "Pee in a Cup" Walters' September 1st article: prohibition against cannabis must end! And. we must stop it now, before it is too late. For the sake of our children, naturally.Dan B

subtlety of language
I've said time and time again that we need to take a close look at the language used. George Carling said it best, "you change the language and you can change peoples minds" or something like that.First off, like I've said before we need to try not to use the phrase "Legalize Marijuana" because of government propaganda the masses equate it with "Legalize Crime". Instead we need to say something like "End Cannabis Prohibition". It's the same thing but less offensive to the average person. I could explain further, but I wanted to comment on this article.Second in the article our Drug Czar (Very democratic title BTW) says"What does the DEA analysis show? In 1974, the average THC content of marijuana was less than 1 percent. But by 1999, potency averaged 7 percent. Further, unlike the old "ditchweed" and bulk marijuana of the past, there are now far more powerful products to entice youth. The THC of today's sinsemilla averages 14 percent and ranges as high as 30 percent."The subtle wording gives it all away. 'Sinsemilla' or the bud which is what everyone smoke has the high concentrations of THC (DUH!). But most people don't realize that's what he's saying. They don't know what 'sinsemilla' is, and people fear the unkown, or they don't know when they use that they are only talking about the flowering tops. Now look at the first two sentences. He refers to "the average THC content of marijuana". Well, what does he mean by that? I think, by how is using the subtle natures of our language, that he means the plant on the WHOLE. So the fan leaves have up to 7% THC while the bud has up to 30%, geez that makes sense.The government and their propaganda has used the subtle nuances of english (and the fact that most people don't understand them) against us. It's about damn time we use them against them!Also, as a side note, I'm more than slightly perturbed that I haven't seen one person try and refute, or clarify (like I just did) of ANY of the government statistics. Example, on Donahue Gov. Johnson mentioned that 700,000 people are arrested each year on MJ charges and then when Ashcroft(?) responded with we only have a few hundred in Federal prison for pot posession, no one tried to clarify the discrepency. The 700,00 in for arrests by local, state, and federal authorities and the government only talks about those convicted and sentenced to federal prisons! What about the people in city, county, and state jails?! People would laugh at most of the government nubmers if they understood them in context. To all advocates who go on those shows, PLEASE PUT THOSE NUMBERS IN CONTEXT FOR THE UNEDUCATED VIEWERS AND HOSTS!

This is the Truth, trust us 
Pot is a dangerous substance. This government information proves it.
When in doubt, it is important to trust the government. When an individual or organization provides one set of data, and the government provides another, always believe the government data.When there is a dispute between the government and orginization or individual, always agree with the government. Thereby you will not be confused. Only the government and its officially-recognized institutions have your best interest in mind, everyone else is just trying to use you for their own ends. The government works hard to make your choices easier and safer. Information from a non-government source will only lead to confusion. In a government-sponsored study, 'confusion and questions' were cited as the top factors resposible for drug abuse and terrorism. Don't get confused. Trust the government.

seeking medical treatment?
"The number of people seeking medical treatment for marijuana abuse is increasing rapidly, not decreasing. In fact, the number of adolescent marijuana admissions increased 260 percent between 1992 and 1999."I wonder how many people actually went voluntarily. Juat because the number of people seeking medical treatment for marijuana "abuse" increased does not mean they wanted to go. Rather this is mostly court ordered drug rehab,either this or jail. I believe the numbers have increased but that's directly related to the number of marijuana usears arrested. Every year this number goes up so why wouldn't the forced drug rehab number go up?

John Walters
Adolph Hitler has stated "The great masses of people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than a small one."Now let us take a critical look at John Walters. It must be part of the drug czar's job description to be able to lie with great sincerity. And as 4d has noted elsewhere,the government has obscene amounts of money to hire the best Madison Avenue advertising agencies to help propagate these lies.Most people know that the Native American expression for a liar is speaking with a forked tongue. Would it be possible for a computer graphics artist to use a picture of Mr. Walters and give him a forked tongue that darts in and out of his mouth.Kaptinemo says that many people come to this site just to learn and become more knowledgeable about the drug war. I think these people should also see an image of our drug czar with a forked tongue.Does this idea have merit? How can it best be implemented?t

About The Kids
When I started doing news it didn't take me long to realize that kids will always be the issue with them. I am concerned about adult's rights. Kids shouldn't do drugs but their parents need to help them stay drug free. We shouldn't be punished if they do drugs though. Many of us don't even have children. I am concerned about adults rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I don't believe anybody should be forced to be high if they don't want to be. As far as cannabis in food it's already legal if you want it (hemp). THC is for people you can appreciate it. When you lace things with stuff people don't want you can be accused of poisoning. Peace and Love will win in the end.Oh my comment #10 was meant in jest....kind of.

Jail? Prison?
a group of marijuana legalizersQuestion: Why does John Walters mentin "legalize" ... but 'accidently' forgets JAIL or PRISON, i.e. the whole point of this measure? Remember people: attack jail, don't defend "legalization". For all the reasons that this propagandist left off the main point (not jailing adult pot smokers), and instead attacked "legalizers", you should never let them forget the "jail" part. JAIL, JAIL, JAIL ...

Biting the hand that feeds
I missed this part:"But no less than the New York Times editorialized recently in support of medical marijuana. Amazingly, the paper termed it "life-saving" and claimed it represented "mainstream medical opinion."This is not good for the prohibs. The NYT is strongly opposed to drug policy reform, one of the most prohibitionist editorial boards in the US. They won't be happy to be criticized openly by Walters. Maybe one day they will extrapolate his blatant lying on Medical MJ to the rest of his policies.

Actually, I think the situation is starting to be reversed, and that's what really scares him and his other Prohib friends.The government propaganda line is wearing thin, and the press (amazingly) is starting to air the ideas on the reform side.The PRO article before this post is a much better piece in terms of substance, and I think most people who read both will see that.

"But the debate over marijuana has been further muddled by careless or gullible media reports. Too often, journalists are fed misleading advocacy information that they swallow whole."You know someone's trying to brainwash you when the first thing they say is hypocritical lie. It's blatantly obvious that the media has for years spewed prohibitionist propaganda. Walters not only wants you to ignore that, but he actually wants it to seem that the situation is reversed.
