TBAC - Roger Morgan: Obama/Holder Serving Soros, Republic Enemy Number One

By Roger Morgan, Take Back America Campaign

Obama, faced with his “redline” declaration, is about to bomb Syria to avenge the 1500 people who were heinously gassed to death in Syria. 

How about, Mr. President, we Americans “redline” you for turning your back on America’s drug problem, even perpetuating the problem by ignoring your obligation to enforce federal CSA laws.  Almost all of the 1500 Americans who die every two weeks started their drug journey with marijuana.  While you punish Assad, maybe America should punish you.

The reality is America has been hijacked by Republic enemy number one, master of subversion, billionaire, sociopath Drug Lord George Soros.  Soros hates America, and is the principle financier behind the pro-legalization movement, and Obama’s campaign.  Soros’ purpose is designed to destroy a significant percentage of our population to help fulfill his messianic vision of a new world order. Unfortunately, due to the corruptive powers of his money, he controls the President, the press and the Democratic Party. 

Obama’s first act was to downgrade the Drug Czar position from cabinet level to reporting to the Vice President, a nice buffer so he wouldn’t have to face America’s biggest problem directly.  The result was we ended up with two national drug policies: 1) Drug Czar Kerlikowske’s official national drug policy, for political cover, and 2) Holder’s “do nothing” policy in terms of enforcing federal law. The result is a 15 to 20% increase in marijuana use, and an unenlightened nation being led down the path of destruction by legalization efforts for a drug that causes permanent damage to adolescent brains, and myriad other adverse outcomes.

Marijuana doesn’t kill by overdose, but overdose isn’t the only cause of death.  Marijuana is a causal factor in psychosis, including schizophrenia, paranoia and suicidal depression.  It is a major factor in armed robberies, violent crime, traffic deaths, testicular cancer, respiratory problems including cancer of the head, neck, throat and lungs, just to mention a few.

The mass shootings of late, like Tucson, Aurora, the Pentagon and more are a result of marijuana induced psychosis.  Even the Boston Bombers were both pot heads.  Marijuana isn’t the only cause of psychosis, but it is a major cause.  And rather than find resources to treat it and shovel up the damage, we should be preventing it to begin with.

Nationally 53% to 87% of arrestees test positive for drugs.  The average addict commits 100 crimes a year.  America has declined to 26^th in the world academically, with a one-third drop out rate.  Each drop out carries a life time cost of $392,000 … which equates to $470 billion per annum considering we have 1.2 million dropouts. 

In August 2012 research at U of Texas San Antonio revealed that today’s high potency pot can kill a baby in the womb within two weeks of conception, before the mother even knows she is pregnant.  Research from 40 or 50 years ago showed marijuana caused still births to ruse from 12% normal to 44%.  Babies that survived child birth often had physical deformities and brain damage.  What’s worse, because of mutations to sperm the problem could result from the male partner, and because it led to chromosomal abnormalities, it was mutagenic, which meant the problem could leap one generation and effect the next. 

Obama’s administration REFUSED to issue a health alert.  Of course that was pre election. How many babies have died, and/or will die, because Obama is serving Soros instead of the American people? 

By doing nothing, Obama has intentionally allowed the proliferation of “medical hoax marijuana,” to spread to 21 states, and marijuana use to grow by 15 to 20%.   Now he and Holder have arrogantly condoned recreational use of marijuana in Colorado and Washington, in direct contradiction to the federal laws they are expected to uphold

Drugs, starting with marijuana, kill, destroy and inflict more economic harm on America than all events in modern history.  If the Commander-In-Chief is unwilling or incapable of fulfilling his oath of office to protect the American people, then it is time to replace him with someone who will.

Medical Marijuana: Where the Discussion Collides

By Alexandra D. Datig

I have often said there is a place for medical marijuana if a pharmaceutical approach can be found that is safe and effective.  I have also  never been against aiding the dying or those who suffer from debilitating illnesses and are desperate to find relief for his or her pain.  For some reason, however, when I speak in support of that argument, I feel like I am baited into a different discussion. 

My friend Roger Morgan, founder of the Take Back AmericaCampaign, explained in a correspondence earlier today, that in the late 1970’s the term "medical marijuana" was coined by Keith Stroup, founder of NORML, as a red herring to give marijuana a good name as a first step towards full legalization.

Although the FDA’s scheduling process list marijuana as a schedule one drug, seen as having no medicinal value, this may not necessarily be the case.  Over the past decade, we have learned that there are in fact medical properties in marijuana that do show promise in children that use CBD, also called cannabidiol, for a variety of central nervous system disorders.   CBDs are the non-psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, meaning they do not cause the user to get high.  

According to my friend Roger Morgan who is a world-renowned drug prevention expert, marijuana is comprised of 483 chemicals that turn into 2,000 when smoked, and 61 cannabinoids.  Of the 61 cannabinoids, only one isolated cannabinoid, appears to have medicinal value.  The problem is with the other 60, and their chemicals, which are known to cause brain damage, mental illness, birth defects, addiction and myriad of health problems.  

GW Pharmaceuticals created a medical grade marijuana known as Sativex based on the science of CBD research, which was approved by the United Kingdom version of the FDA and is available in England by prescription.  Sativex, which is an oil-based, mint flavored oral spray, has yet to pass the scrutiny test with the FDA because marijuana’s efficacy is unreliable thus far and does not meet the standards of the FDA.  On the flip side, while Sativex is going through the FDA’s clinical trails, marijuana profiteers and unethical marijuana doctors are making millions off of crude, toxin exposed, highly potent and untested as well as unregulated so-called medical marijuana because it is seen by many as a free for all to get high.  Ironically, none of these snake oil salesmen can tell an inexperienced user which strain or which THC potency is the right one to use.  The question is, what will this experiment of public fraud eventually cost in terms of long-term health consequences and harms?

I think we’re far away from being able to find common ground on what is reasonable and most of all what is safe when evaluating the arguments about marijuana.  We also know that marijuana advocates aren’t wasting any time and have engineered a deliberately misleading clash in their dialogue by promoting recreational use through the guise of medicine.  One example of this was Montell Williams who was recently on Piers Morgan.  If the medical marijuana establishment has done one thing in terms of educating the public about marijuana, it has sent the message that medical marijuana is the back door for marijuana abuse through contrived non-medical purposes.  As for the research on CBDs, I agree with my friend Roger Morgan who says hopefully research should never stop trying to perfect it for whatever therapeutic value it may have.

Take Back America Campaign: IS MARIJUANA SAFER THAN ALCOHOL?

By Roger Morgan

Not that it really matters, but no … it isn’t!  Alcohol isn’t going away, so why exacerbate the social and economic problems alcohol has inflicted on society by adding another harmful drug?  But, the difference?

Alcohol is water-soluble, and consists of one chemical.  One ounce of alcohol is excreted from the body in 12 hours.  In moderation, as with a glass or two of red wine, it can even be beneficial from a health standpoint.  In excess, of course, it has contributed to multiple problems.

Marijuana is fat-soluble, and consists of 483 chemicals that turn into 2,000 chemicals when smoked; contains 61 cannibinoids, all of which are bioactive and some psychoactive; and it contains 50-70% more carcinogens than tobacco.  One half the THC (psychoactive ingredient) is excreted from the body in 3 to 7 days, and the balance remains for a month, compounding with each additional joint.

Pro-marijuana activists, some that have been trying to legalize marijuana for decades, gloss over the fact that today’s marijuana often ranges from 20 to 30% THC content, whereas in the 70’s the potency ranged from ½ to 2%.  The difference is like comparing near beer to grain alcohol. 

The travesty … even the treason … rests in the fact that our government, and maybe we collectively, don’t do whatever necessary to protect our youth.  Marijuana is the gateway to all drugs, and the onset of marijuana use on average is at age 12 to 13, when their brains are most vulnerable to harm and addiction.

Kids that start using alcohol and drugs are six times more likely to become addicts.  Addicts can’t work, or work effectively, so they become burdens on every aspect of public services:  crime, mental illness, health care, education, welfare and traffic safety. 

Roughly 3,200 Americans die monthly from drug overdose.  None from marijuana, of course.  But 90% of those who do die started their drug journey with pot.  To solve the problem of overdose deaths, one has to at least defer the onset of alcohol and marijuana use where it almost always starts, with kids; on average, age 12 or 13. 

So what are the true harms of marijuana that they don’t tell you about?

 1)    Adolescent marijuana use can cause permanent brain damage by reducing white matter in the brain by as much as 80%, and shrinking the hippocampus, the learning, memory and cognition center of the brain, and causing an 8 pt loss in IQ by age 38.  Stopping doesn’t reverse the problem.

 2)    Marijuana is a causal factor in psychosis, including schizophrenia, paranoia and suicidal depression.  One-third of prisoners are addicted to alcohol and drugs, and jails are overloaded with arrestees waiting months for beds in mental health facilities, which are already overloaded.

 3)    Marijuana can cause fatal brain damage to a fetus only two weeks after conception, before the mother even knows she is pregnant.  She can quit using, but its normally too late for the baby.  Even low potency marijuana caused a spike in still births from 12 to 44%.  Babies that survived child birth were often blessed with physical deformities and brain damage. 

 4)    Marijuana stays in the body for long periods of time, particularly in the 3 lb brain the gonads, the fattiest parts of the body, and it attaches to the fatty linings of every cell in the body, keeping the healthy proteins out and diminishing the immune system.  It is also a major cause of testicular cancer in young males, a major factor in chronic bronchitis, and cause of head, neck and throat cancer.

 5)    Marijuana impairment is a major cause of traffic injuries and death, and often used with alcohol and other drugs, which exacerbates the problem. 12% of  drivers who died from traffic accidents tested positive for just marijuana. What’s worse, they have killed many others.

 6)    Marijuana, particularly the high potency stuff with over 18% THC called “skunk,” does increase the risk of injury to oneself and others.  Emergency room visits have soared.  Violent crime has escalated (5 to 15% in Sacramento) and shooters such as Jared Loughner, Tucson shooter, or John Patrick Bedell, the Pentagon shooter, have injured or killed many others.

Organizations like the Marijuana Policy Project, and other pro-pot drug dealers, simply lie about marijuana.  What do they hope to gain?  Money, power or they just like to get high.  Who gets hurt?  Our youth, and our country.  All of us!

Legalizing marijuana on the ridiculous pretense that people will quit consuming alcohol if they have access to legal marijuana is a myth to begin with, but calling  marijuana safer than alcohol is simply a lie.  The only benefit may be no hangover from pot, but the hidden harms are as bad, or worse.
