Medical Marijuana May Expose
Consumers to Dangerous Bacteria and Fungus; Doctors Should Be Held Accountable
Los
Angeles, September 17, 2012 – Following a two-day tour with Lieutenant Rick Ko
of the Fresno County Sheriff’s Department, Alexandra Datig has given her
eyewitness account of California’s Central Valley marijuana grows. Today, Datig released a documented account of
what she saw on the opinion page “Nip It In The Bud USA” (www.nipitinthebudusa.org). The short documentary is also available on YouTube.
Datig said; “California’s
medical marijuana laws have been exposed as a scam. Under existing laws, no one is held
accountable, while California has become the marijuana trafficking capitol of
the United States. Ninety percent of
California’s marijuana is being exported to other states and other countries. All this, made possible mostly through
recommendations by California doctors.”
John Lovell, lobbyist for
the California Narcotics Officer’s Association and the California Police Chiefs
Associations saw the footage and said; “Every policy maker should be required
to see it.”
Calvina Fay, Executive
Director of Drug Free America Foundation and Save Our Society From Drugs had
this to say: “This video reveals very
specific public health risks associated with the cultivation of
marijuana. It shows that patients may be unknowingly ingesting dangerous
toxins. We definitely need more resources like this video to help educate
the public about the widespread contamination caused by these criminal
enterprises.”
Former Los Angeles City
Councilman and California State Senator Nate Holden, who served on the Board of
Public Safety with the City of Los Angeles for eight years, saw the
presentation and said; “The FDA and the USDA is now aware how medical marijuana is being
cultivated in an unsafe and unhealthy environment. They should immediately take action to
protect the health, safety and welfare of our citizens and eradicate these
marijuana grows and jail the cultivators who put in jeopardy
our health, safety and welfare.”
