Pro Pot Lies Go Up In Smoke

Pro-Pot Lies go Up in Smoke

“The New York Times Editorial Board has just admitted what Eagle Forum has known for years: America has a marijuana problem. The lies that Big Weed has been peddling are going up in smoke,” said Kris Ullman, President of Eagle Forum.

The New York Times admits that many of the pro-legalization crowd’s predictions have proved untrue. Daily marijuana use has not gone down but has tripled.  Marijuana addiction and dependence are not “relatively minor problems” but have led to increases in cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, marijuana-linked paranoia and chronic psychotic disorders, and THC-related auto accidents.

“We commend the New York Times for acknowledging the problems created by easy access to recreational and medical marijuana. We agree that the United States ‘has recently gone too far in accepting and even promoting its use,’” Ullman continued. “That is why Eagle Forum has made educating and advocating against marijuana use a top priority for 2026.”

There are many things that governments can and should do to regulate marijuana. THC potency should be limited, not marketed like candy, and not sold as medicine without full FDA approval. Pregnant and nursing mothers should avoid marijuana entirely. Young people, especially young men, need to be told the truth about the risks of permanent harm to brain development. At a minimum, marijuana should carry black-box warnings about lifelong risks, and no one under 25 should be allowed to purchase it or work in the industry. Foreign nationals and corporations should not be allowed to own marijuana farms or processing operations in the United States. And State and local governments should enforce their laws against the public consumption of marijuana, just as they do for alcohol. The smell of weed is a public nuisance. Article from EagleForum.org
