I was driving to work today and listening to my podcast like a normal Saturday morning. I listen to The Addiction Podcast: Point of No Return. The episode I was listening to was talking about the recent summit for drug prevention. In that episode, one of the people being interviewed let known that the CEO of Big Pharma (the ones that made the oxycontin and marketed it to the low income people to get them addicted to make money AKA my philosophical essay) is the CEO of the Medical Marijuana Industry!!!!!
I am not sure your stance on the legalization of marijuana, but the CEO helped pushed it to get it legalized and is now one of the biggest people selling it! I do not think a lot of people know this, just like a lot of people do not know about the oxycontin incident. I do not see this going well, especially since more states are starting to come to agreement of the legalization of marijuana.
One of the points the person in the interview made was that there is science proving that it is not a good idea to make it legal, etc. Yet, it is becoming more legal, and people are not focusing on the bad... Just like climate change!
This is creating another crisis, it just hasn't hit yet.
