Government hypocrisy abounds when it comes to cigarettes and medical marijuana. One being legal, while the latter is federally illegal. Smoking cigarettes, most of us will agree, is not a healthy thing to do, however our government has failed to stand up to big tobacco and make it illegal. There is nothing positive about cigarettes.
They kill, both directly and passively. Smoking marijuana, when done for medical purposes, is arguably desirable for the alleviation of pain, particularly in the terminally ill, nausea in those receiving cancer treatment, arthritis, anorexia treatment, Alzheimer, alcoholism, diabetes, stress and there may be a link in assisting autism and brain tumors. With all these benefits waiting to be exploited, our federal officials are fighting hard to keep us healthy by waging war on cigarette labels, instead of seeking federal legislation that would allow the research into and exploitation of cannabis for medical use.
All this as the though the Food and Drug Administration approves drugs that come with a library list of side effects that could be avoided if medical marijuana was legal. The Food and Drug Administration has spent time and money designing warnings for cigarette packages that would scare the monsters and demons found in any of the worst horror films. Showing you graphic color images of a man exhaling smoke through a tracheotomy hole in his throat, images of dead and diseased smokers, and smoke surrounding an infant receiving a mother’s kiss are a few examples of the government’s anti-smoking efforts.
