An unadorned opinion of Professor Dr. Jurgen Barben.
Last year, about seven percent of Germans aged 18-59 used cannabis once or multiple times, according to a 2018 report by the German federal government on drugs and addiction.
When it comes to defining cannabis, hemp, marijuana and hashish, we have to say "cannabis is the Latin word for cannabis." The dried leaves of the female flowering plant are called marijuana or herb. Hashish is the harvested and mostly compressed "resin" of the hemp plant.
In many European countries, the issue of legalizing cannabis is increasingly discussed. According to the Swiss Commission on Addictions, the question of whether cannabis should be legalized is less important than the question of how to proceed.
Therefore, Professor Jürgen Barben, specialist in pediatrics and juvenile medicine, asked the question: who benefits from legalizing cannabis? Klagemauer TV presents an abridged excerpt from his research, which was published in the Swiss Medical Journal:
“What was completely unthinkable 40 years ago is now a reality: while marijuana is still federally classified as an illegal drug in the United States, 30 states have approved the use of cannabis for medical purposes, and 10 states have allowed cannabis for recreational purposes. (for leisure).
Since mid-2016, marijuana with less than 1% THC is also legal and available in Switzerland. In Switzerland, 580 companies have already started legal cannabis growing businesses, and in 2017, thanks to this, the state treasury of the country was replenished by 15 million Swiss francs. Currently, the United States has a huge billion dollar cannabis industry. That being said, the cannabis industry has learned a lot from the tobacco industry. […]
Who funded the legalization?
Promotional video:
In its in-depth report, National Families in Action, for the first time documented in detail the sources of cash flows that have been used to legalize cannabis in the United States over the past 20 years. […] Since 1996, three billionaires - George Soros, Peter Benjamin Lewis and John Sperling - have contributed about 80% of the amount that was used to vote in individual US states. Back in 1992, George Soros, who made his fortune as a financial speculator, donated $ 15 million to a vote to legalize cannabis for medical purposes. Only later did he use his Open Society Foundation to fight for full legalization, starting in Uruguay. […] All three agree to fully legalize cannabis for medical purposes.
Cannabis legalization and its consequences
The legalization of cannabis for recreational purposes (for leisure) offers opportunities for marketing, the consequences of which are difficult to predict today. Discussions about how to limit emerging health problems with new regulatory measures will result in huge financial and legal resources being involved.
The marijuana industry can follow the same path as the tobacco industry. In the last century, the tobacco industry turned the cigarette into an ideal nicotine dispenser and, through treacherous advertising campaigns, increased the number of smokers from 1% in 1880 to 50% in 1950. […]
The number of cannabis users over the age of 12 in the United States reaches 22 million, 10% of whom use cannabis for medical purposes only. The percentage of cannabis smokers rose from 6.2 in 2002 to 8.3 in 2015.
Conclusion
As with tobacco, the cannabis trade is an addictive business, the physical and psychological effects of which are well known. In order to legalize marijuana, the danger of its use is deliberately diminished. Only a few do business on it for billions of dollars. Since the first successes in the fight against the tobacco epidemic were achieved through the worldwide efforts of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, the legalization of cannabis is creating a new epidemic, the consequences of which are difficult to predict at present. For this reason, various medical organizations, one of them - the German Society of Pulmonology […], drew attention to the dangers of cannabis use, submitting documents in the form of a report setting out their position.
This was a report by Dr. Y. Barben, who shows that behind the legalization of cannabis lies only the apparent well-being of people. So the question remains: what forces want to ensure the legalization of cannabis? What is the highest goal they pursue in relation to humanity, in particular, in relation to youth? There should be a deeper connection here that is worth thinking about!
