HEY, SESSIONS: Any attack on medical marijuana and CBD is an attack on humanity

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has made his personal opinions on cannabis and cannabis products quite clear from the beginning — the man is even reported as having said, “Good people don’t smoke marijuana.” In modern-day America, however, this viewpoint is nothing short of archaic.
Sessions has also said that he does not believe legalizing marijuana will make America better, and believes that it is an unhealthy practice. On Tuesday, he told state attorney generals, “I’m dubious about marijuana. I’m not sure we’re going to be a better, healthier nation if we have marijuana sold at every corner grocery store.”
It is within reason to say that not smoking anything at all is clearly preferential to smoking — this belief is understandable, but it is not without its caveats. Cigarettes are totally legal in the United States, despite the enormous and overwhelming evidence that they cause cancer and a myriad of other health problems. Cigarettes are sold at every corner grocery store, and the negative health impact they’ve had on society is both sickening and astounding. Conversely, studies have shown that in addition to treating a number of health conditions, the THC compound in marijuana can also help to treat lung cancer. According to the CDC, between 80 and 90 percent of all lung cancers in the US are related to smoking.
It’s more than hypocritical for any member of the government to denounce marijuana in the name of public health while millions of Americans puff away on cancer-causing tobacco products, especially given the number of conditions and diseases that can be treated with cannabis. But when it comes to Jeff Sessions, this hypocrisy is taken to a whole other level. Sessions was a shill for Big Tobacco back in the 90s and fought against the litany of lawsuits facing the tobacco industry. But this… this is the man we’re supposed to believe is concerned about public health?
