Marijuana investors

.... are getting their faces ripped-off. Look at symbol "MJ", the largest marijuana ETF. Probably has to do with the vaping deaths of unknown origin?

Leave it to humans to take something natural and pervert it and make it poisonous, right?

Like codeine for example. What the heck was wrong with Tylenol 3? Couldn't make any money off of old codeine, so they had to make a synthetic, patent it, and then they could make some bank. Look what at the frigging mess.

Oxy/opiates are not new, all the docs knew oxycontin was highly addictive, or they werent qualified to be doctors. But arent adults supposed to be able to ingest what they want? A libertarian doc should just hand them out

No.
Starting with the obvious,this isn’t an anarchic society. Why have laws, why have prescription vs over the counter if doctors are going to go through medical school only to find out their job is merely to hand out pills like McDonald’s employees sling hash browns?

Less obvious: I think the reason Purdue is in so much trouble is because of the way they aggressively marketed all this ‘legal heroin’, not for simply giving adults what they want.

If you want to fulfill some libertarian fantasy, I guess you could find a Gale Boetticher on the street, but that’s not the way it’s supposed to work.

Libtards...a very handy word. You can aim it at both the far left and the far right.
