Surgeon General: "No such thing as Medical Marijuana"

The Aspen Institute
Published on Jun 24, 2019

In states like Colorado, where marijuana is legal, Surgeon General Jerome Adams says the potency of today’s marijuana may be a detriment to business investment and worker efficacy. "There is no such thing as medical marijuana," he says. Adams also shares his concerns for black communities, "adding a marijuana dispensary to the mix" on street corners won't fix our social justice ills, he says.

This conversation was recorded during Aspen Ideas: Health in Aspen, Colorado. Presented by the Aspen Institute, the three-day event opens the Aspen Ideas Festival and features more than 200 speakers engaging with urgent health care challenges and exploring cutting-edge innovations in medicine and science.

It goes to show that a PhD, or higher schooling, does not necessarily translate into intelligence. Had he read a bit of history he would have found that Marijuana has been used medicinally for millennia. THOUSANDS of years of use for medicine. So what if it appears to be more potent?? Each person self titrates to what they need. Vodka is a lot stronger than beer, but people use it in mixed drinks all the time. It can be more dangerous since EtOH is more potent distilled.... however, no one thinks of this and does any comparison to high % THC Hybrids. Besides, there are lots of growers, breeders and seeds available that have lower THC and higher CBD content.
