Everyone --it seems-- is jumping
on the Marijuana bandwagon.
Not since the last wild west
snake oil salesman
passed through town
have we seen
a greater miracle product
that will heal
whatever ails you.
On top of that,
it's natural
--unlike that which
"big-pharma" produces.
And because it's now legal
in places such as Canada,
California, and Colorado,
marijuana must be
safe and harmless.
Or is it?
Shouldn't we ask
who's driving this bandwagon?
Are you hearing the whole story?
Or are there facts
about marijuana
--also better known
as cannabis in some countries--
that you're not being told?
And if you think,
"I don't do marijuana,
so it doesn't affect me"
think again; it does.
I'll be back in a moment
with four things
you need to know
about the hallucinogenic
cannabis plant
known as marijuana,
so stay tuned.

Welcome to Tomorrow's World
where I'm covering one
of the most controversial topics
I've ever given,
and I can see
the hate mail already.
You may wonder why
I'm covering this topic here
on Tomorrow's World.
The answer is simple.
In the end,
we're dealing with an issue
with moral implications,
and much of what you are hearing
about marijuana and cannabis
is nothing more than lies.
Sadly, many
sincere people are buying
the activist's propaganda.
Here at Tomorrow's World,
we choose truth over
mindless political correctness
and groupthink.
On today's program
I'll give you four facts
you probably aren't hearing
about marijuana.
I'll also be offering
a back-up resource titled,
Marijuana:
What They Aren't Telling You.
Canada, the United States,
Australia and New Zealand
are plunging headlong
into a "marijuana Mecca,"
yet there are a growing number
of studies that show
a link between cannabis
and mental health problems.
And this leads me to
Fact number one:
There has been
a concerted effort
on the part of activists
to sell marijuana
to an unsuspecting citizenry,
and they've been
very successful.
So how did they do it?
These activists learned
from past mistakes
that they could never get
cannabis--or marijuana--
legalized by promoting the idea
that it's good to get high.
They've used different tactics
at different times, such as:
"The war against marijuana
is racially biased."
But their most recent
and most successful campaign
is to convince ordinary people,
such as you and me
--people who have no interest
in "toking up"--
that cannabis is medicine.
After all, who wants
to be against medicine,
especially when it is marketed
as natural and safe,
unlike chemical pharmaceuticals.
But this message has always
been a ruse for legalizing
recreational use.
Former New York Times
writer and author,
Alex Berenson explains
in Tell Your Children:
The Truth About Marijuana,
Mental Health, and Violence,
that:
Berenson explains
a little later:
It's easy to get caught up
in the war of words
and contradicting studies,
so let's stand back
and look at the big picture.
Here's what we see:
Number One:
Activists convince the public
that marijuana is medical
Number Two:
They next convince people
that it is harmless,
and Three:
It's then decriminalized,
and finally, Number four:
it is legalized recreationally.
With some variation,
this is what happened in Canada,
California, and Colorado.
The Australian capitol
of Canberra became
the first city
in that country to legalize
recreational cannabis
on September 26, 2019.
There's a clear
progression from medicine
to recreation.
This will continue to happen
as a naive public
is manipulated by a
well-funded campaign
by activists intent
on fully legalizing the drug.
So who are these activists?
Most people have no idea.
All we hear is that
"marijuana is medicine,
that it's natural, that it will
free-up police to work
on more serious problems,"
and that "it's a mild
and safe substance
with no downside."
That's the drum beat
we hear everywhere.
Time limitations do not allow me
to give the biography
of each one,
but here's a name
familiar to many,
a name that we hear
on the wrong side
of many issues: George Soros.
Breaking into a thought
from Berenson as he traces
the drug's history:
Think about that.
One hundred million dollars
is a lot of money,
and what for?
Was the endgame medicine
or full legalization?
Considering the source
of the money,
thinking people should be
suspicious.
But what about
all those medical benefits
of this wonder plant?
The truth is
that a lot more research
ought to be done before
buying the salesman's pitch
and I'll address the reason why
in a minute,
but first I must tell you
about today's vital resource,
Marijuana:
What They Aren't Telling You.
Canadian author and educator
Stuart Wachowicz addresses
such questions as,
"If It's Legal, Isn't It Safe?"
and "Is There Any
Good Reason to Get High?"
This well-documented resource
contains source notes
that allow you
to do your own research.
Don't make the mistake
of thinking
this can't affect you.
Even if you personally
don't use marijuana,
what others do
can impact your life.

We're discussing four facts
about marijuana
--also known as cannabis--
on today's Tomorrow's World
program, that you may not
be hearing elsewhere.
And, before the break
I said I would give you
some facts you need to know
before jumping
on the marijuana bandwagon.
Having sold the public
on the medical benefits
of cannabis--as with any
good snake oil salesman--
the non-hallucinogenic CBD
has become a cure-all
for whatever ails you.
Have cancer?
CBD will cure it.
Parkinson's? no problem.
Works there just as well.
Back pain, depression, nausea
caused by any condition?
CBD is your answer.
Or is it?
The Ohio State
Medical Marijuana program
limits participation
in their program
to these diverse conditions:
Is this a wonder drug or not?
The distinguished Dr. Gary Wenk
was asked to sit
on Ohio's Medical Marijuana
Advisory Committee
by Governor John Kasich in 2016,
and in all fairness to Dr. Wenk,
I want to emphasize
that he is open-minded
and clearly not against
trying marijuana for a range
of ailments,
as seen in an article he wrote
for Psychology Today.
Despite not being against it,
he says:
Dr. Wenk is not alone.
A more recent British study
investigated the effectiveness
of cannabis as medicine
for these six
mental health conditions:
The results were published
in The Lancet Psychiatry
journal.
Here's what
these scientists found
--as reported
in London's Independent
on October 28, 2019:
Marijuana advocates
have promoted a cure
--looking for a disease.
Does this mean there will never
be any medical uses
for the plant?
Not at all.
Many medicines do come
from plants.
The problem is
that there has been an agenda
here all along
and activists have dishonestly
sold people,
through anecdotal testimonies
that it's a cure-all
when proper testing is lacking.
I quoted earlier
from Alex Berenson's, book,
Tell Your Children
where he outlines
the history of cannabis
and what he learned about it.
So who is Berenson?
Here's how this former
New York Times reporter
--who confesses that he tried
marijuana a few times--
describes himself:
But he changed his mind
in the wake of a conversation
one evening with his wife.
Jacqueline is a New York State
psychiatrist who specializes
in evaluating
the criminally insane.
One evening they were discussing
a particularly brutal crime
when she casually remarked:
Berenson questioned
what she meant by,
"of course."
To which she replied,
"Yeah, they all smoke."
And that led to an interesting
husband and wife discussion
in which Berenson explains:
And he did.
What this marijuana libertarian
learned was not
what he expected,
and it turned him into an
outspoken critic of "the weed."
He set out to inform the public
about the history
and consequences
of cannabis use,
in his 2019 book,
Tell your Children:
The Truth about Marijuana,
Mental Illness, and Violence.
Here's what Berenson learned.
Fact number one
--which you've already seen--:
But he also learned that--
Fact Number Two:
There has always been a
known link between cannabis use
and mental health issues
such as psychoses
and schizophrenia,
but the problem is greater
today than ever.
Today's marijuana is a
totally different marijuana
from that of the 1960's and 70's
when THC levels were closer
to one to two percent,
but beginning in the 1990's,
growers began working
to increase the THC content to
as much as twenty-five percent
and with that has come
an increase
in mental health problems.
Researchers know that there is
a time lag between
when one starts using cannabis
and when mental illness
may begin.
Therefore, it's not unexpected
that increasing problems
would begin showing up
sometime after 2000:
But it gets worse.
These higher THC levels
seem to be contributing
to another trend.
Stuart Wachowicz's booklet,
Marijuana:
What They Aren't Telling You,
addresses problems
with cannabis, such as:
Loss of Motivation,
Brain Impairment
and Mental Health,
Lung and Heart Damage
and Cancer Risk.
In addition,
he addresses head-on the
activists' flawed arguments:
What About Medical Marijuana?
Will Legalization Reduce
Crime and Overall Drug Use?
Also, these controversial
questions:
If Marijuana Is a Problem,
Why Do We Not Also Ban Alcohol?
And, In the end, Isn't It
a Matter of Personal Choice?

On today's
Tomorrow's World program,
I'm discussing four facts
about marijuana
--also referred to as cannabis--
that you need to know.
Before the short break,
I told you I would give you
a powerful reason
to leave cannabis alone.
It's something that
Jacqueline Berenson
sees firsthand in her work
as a criminal psychiatrist.
Fact number three:
Most people think
of marijuana as strictly
a calming drug,
but is this the whole story?
Not according to this 2016
Psychology Today article:
It is important
to note that most people
do not exhibit violent behavior,
but a small percentage do,
and the problem
may arise suddenly
with no previous warning signs.
Stuart Wachowicz
relates a letter he received
from an Arkansas State prisoner
who described his
real-life story
with marijuana and violence.
Kenneth Williams tells
--in his own words--
his sobering story
of what the end result
of using marijuana was for him.

Today I'm discussing four facts
that you've likely not heard
--but need to hear--
about marijuana,
also known as cannabis.
So far we've seen that:
Fact Number One:
Fact number two:
And Fact number three:
Regarding our fourth fact,
this truth has become evident:
Yes, marijuana is suddenly
"big business."
It's the rage
in financial news letters.
Shockingly,
even former U.S. congressional
Speaker of the House,
John Boehner was heard
advertising seminars
on how to "cash in" and get rich
on the cannabis boom.
One financial investment advisor
recently wrote:
It appears everyone is hopping
aboard the bandwagon.
In addition to being a
cure-all for what ails you,
cannabis is making people rich.
Growers and dealers
--legal and illegal--
are cashing in on the action.
Tobacco companies are anxious
to replace lost revenue from
their previous deadly product by
buying into cannabis companies.
My friends,
these are the last people
we ought to listen to
when it comes to our health.
And what government
doesn't love a new source
of tax revenue?
Hey, this might
single-handedly solve
the government debt crisis.
However, black marketers
continue to undercut
legally taxed products,
and there's already
significant drop in price
in the markets.
Since legalization,
Canada is becoming
a major supplier--
both internally and externally
--exporting cannabis products
to Australia, Brazil,
the Cayman Islands, Chile,
Croatia, Cyprus, Germany,
New Zealand, and South Africa.
One of the largest exporters
is Tilray,
which produces CBD oils
--the non-hallucinogenic extract
from the cannabis plant--
which may prove to have
some limited medical benefit,
but it's certainly not
the cure-all that advocates
are claiming it to be.
Another product is Tilray 1:1
which contains an equal ratio
of the hallucinogen THC
and the non-hallucinogen CBD.
As of January 2019,
twenty-one companies were
publicly traded in Canada.
Nine companies are hauling
in billions of dollars,
with two boasting more than
$10 billion.
But wait a minute; I thought
this was all about health!
Aren't we looking at
the greatest miracle drug
ever discovered?
Or are we looking at
modern snake oil?
Whichever,
millions are buying into
the salesman's pitch.
While we do not deny that
there may be some limited
medical benefits from cannabis,
specifically CBD from the
non-hallucinogenic hemp plant,
--we will know after
proper testing is done--
nevertheless,
the end game for activists
is to use medical marijuana
to legalize it recreationally.
And recreational marijuana
is a moral
rather than medical issue.
There already are,
and will be,
serious consequences
as a result.
We're warned from the
pages of the Bible...
The prophet Hosea warned
the people of his day
that the direction
they were going
would bring disaster,
but Hosea's predictions
were dual
and apply to the End Time.
Note this sober warning
in chapter 8 and verse 7...
We're sowing marijuana.
Get ready for the whirlwind,
for it is surely coming
upon hedonistic,
pleasure-seeking nations.
Be sure to order
a free copy of:
Marijuana: What They Aren't
Telling You.
Do it before you forget.
It gives vital information
I haven't had time to cover
on this program.
And be sure to come back
next week at this same
time when Richard Ames,
Wallace Smith and I,
along with guest presenter
Rod McNair,
will continue to share with you
the teachings of Jesus Christ,
the good news
of the coming Kingdom of God,
and the exciting
end-time prophecies
and their meaning.
See you next time.
