"Whenever we pick up our granddaughter...we are almost knocked over by the smell of marijuana in their home. My husband &I have voiced our concerns about this more than once, to no avail...the strong odor in her home as well." nypost.com/2026/10/23/lifest…
Why would Rob Sand embrace something that failed in every other state? @RobSandIA #Iowa
The momentum is backfiring against marijuana.
Look - it isn't my thing but Iowa is facing a budget crisis to the tune of $1.4 billion.
A common-sense way to help address that would be to fully legalize adult-use cannabis in Iowa. And to solve the problems that come with it - we treat it like alcohol.

We oppose marijuana drive-through. Watch out for people toking behind the wheel!
First it was a few stores. Then longer hours. Now Springfield, Mo. votes tonight on pot drive-thrus open until 1:30 a.m., up from 10 p.m.
Addiction for profit always needs more. More stores, more hours, more access. The rules they agreed to are never enough.

Getting legalization of marijuana depended on lying. Now #Massachusetts has a chance to roll it back: foxnews.com/video/6407296708…

New in BMJ Open: after legal recreational marijuana sales began in the West, hospitalizations for heart failure rose nearly 4% for each year of sales, heart attacks just over 3%, and atrial fibrillation just over 2%.
That's 50 million hospital records. The authors call for "a cautious approach to legalisation."
Marijuana isn't just a mental health issue. It's a heart issue too.

Oct 24'16: "the wrong-way driver in...which five people were killed, including three young college students from Cape Cod, was drunk and had marijuana in her system..." killed Kraig Diggs, Jordan Galvin-Justras, Cory Licata, Jordan Fisher. #Massachusetts capecodtimes.com/story/news/…

Anne was told marijuana wasn’t addictive. She quit her job as a physical therapist to work at one of the first dispensaries in Massachusetts. Then it took over her life.
Her story isn’t rare. Communities with pot shops see more addiction, more youth use and more public drug dealing.
I spoke with Douglas Kennedy for this America’s Newsroom report on @FoxNews about why Question 8 is on the ballot. Watch the full segment.

The Boston Globe backed commercial marijuana in 2016. Ten years later, its editorial board says:
"Marijuana use has been tied to psychosis, severe vomiting, and a risk of dependence."
"Since legalization, the number of cannabis-related emergency room visits by children and teenagers has increased."
When even the paper that cheered it on admits the harm, the debate is over.

Continuing to ignore this problem is costly: "Psychotic disorders -- which include schizophrenia and related conditions involving breaks from reality -- and bipolar disorder are among the most disabling mental illnesses... require lifelong treatment" medicaldaily.com/teen-cannab…
Not surprising -- her relentless push to legalize marijuana at all costs reveals true intentions. She is a pot shop owner too. theepochtimes.com/us/virgini…
Parents who use pot are irresponsible. We've tracked more than 350 deaths by pot using parents. This is a result of the bad judgement and forgetfulness that comes with using marijuana. Glad the toddlers the babies are still alive. newsnationnow.com/crime/lexi…
Why has it taken @NPR years to be telling the try about the many teens experience cannabis-induced psychosis. npr.org/2026/02/21/nx-s1-571…
As for the seniors being told use pot for arthritis: THC is an intoxicant and, like any other intoxicant, will dull the sensations of pain temporarily. But it isn't therapeutic and offers no lasting cure or relief. Smoking a joint is akin to having a martini to dull your pain.
Violent Behavior as Related to Marijuana and Other Drugs, by Albert Friedman, Kimberly Glassman, Arlene Terras, Journal of Addictive Diseases, Vol 20(1), 2001,pp. 49-72. (Pot users nearly as likely to engage in violent behaviors as crack users)

"I feel like they spray their marijuana with extra THC to make it more potent."
He bought it at a Massachusetts dispensary. That night, his mom watched him have a psychotic break.
