A Nation Gone to Pot


Perhaps one of the most controversial issues currently facing America is the push to legalize Marijuana. Several states Including Colorado, California and Oregon have legalized recreational use of what many consider to be the gateway drug, while a total of thirty states have legalized it for medical purposes. Oklahoma being the latest. Proponents argue that most U.S. citizens favor legalization or at least, decriminalization of the drug; however, its use has shown to increase risk for mental illness’ such as schizophrenia among heavy users, especially those under twelve years old. One thing is for certain, the legalization of Marijuana is set to earn the Marijuana industry a whopping 31.4 billion dollars by the year 2021 according to Forbes.[1] Bethany Gomez, a researcher for the Brightfield Group[2], an agency that researches markets for legalized Marijuana sales, suggests that the U.S. has a larger market than the rest of the world combined. That’s not hard to believe since twenty-four million Americans use illegal drugs. If the Brightfield group projects the U.S. to be a large market and sales are expected to boom to over thirty-one billion then they are going to have to increase users, meaning they will market the drug with the intent of creating new users. This could mean marketing to children.  

Many people argue that Marijuana has positive medical properties that aid in the healing of cancer and other chronic illnesses. Many people suffering from chronic pain claim that it eases their suffering. The truth is that there are two different properties to the cannabis plant CBD and THC. There is a vast difference in the way the two chemicals affect the brain. Both chemicals affect the endocannabinoid system[3] which controls functions such as pain, appetites, moods, immune response, and sleep. The big difference is that CBD does not produce the euphoric feeling of being high like THC does. THC binds and acts as an agonist with the brains CB1 cannabinoid receptors (medical marijuana inc.news, n.d.). This is responsible for the feeling of being high and causes the negative effects generally associated with Marijuana use. Slowed reaction time, decreased cognitive function, hallucinations and so on[4]. CBD on the other hand does not bind with the CB1 receptors and acts to counter the effects of THC on the CB1 receptors.

According to Gary L. Wenk of Psychology Today[5] the medical benefits of using CBD alone are very minimal because studies have shown the potency of the compound has little effect on the brain at all without the use of the entire plant. This means that to have any medical benefits at all the potent property of the plant, THC would have to be present as well. Or, CBD would have to be administered in such high doses to have any healing effects, leading to the possibility that the feeling of being high could be created.  What is the truth? It is likely that there simply has not been enough research to indicate one way of the other whether CBD oil has any real health benefits. A medical website called Healthline,[6] which is reviewed by medical doctors, lists all the possible benefits of CBD oil by suggesting it “may” help with chronic pain, or it “could possibly” be useful in treating anxiety. In other words, studies are preliminary, and they simply don’t know.

What is the real purpose of the push to legalize Marijuana? After all, it is thought to be the gateway drug which leads many people to more serious addiction problems. Besides the obvious earning potential for those in the industry the purpose behind legalizing Marijuana is to aid in the creation of an idle, non-caring population that is incapable of taking responsibility for their nation or themselves. Aiding in the creation of government dependency.

By making readily available drugs of various kinds, by giving the teen-ager alcohol, by praising his wildness, by stimulating him with sex literature and advertising to him or her the practices at the Sexpol, the Psychopolitical operator can create the necessary attitude of chaos, idleness, and worthlessness into which can then be cast the solution which will give the teen-ager complete freedom everywhere-Communism. (Beria)

While most people will refuse to see a connection with the above quote, discrediting it as an old discredited conspiracy theory, the truth is that there was a documented attempt on the part of the communists to flood our nation with drugs. The book “Red Cocaine[7]” lays it out quite simply.

“The West has been the unknowing victim, for the past several decades, of long-term Soviet-Chinese strategic intelligence operations using drugs as a means of procuring the progressive demoralization of Western society and a concomitant degradation of the gene pool - with youth the prime target of this satanic offensive.” (Douglass, 1999)

Why the word satanic when referring to this agenda? Communism, as mentioned by this author many times before, is an anti-God ideology and as referenced in the first chapter is likely influenced by the fact that Marx, once a devoted Christian, became a Satanist.  Communism is an ideology that pits the natural state of human being against God for destroying society and remaking it in Marx’s view. Which is weakening man to the point of complete dependence on the state, where the state in fact, becomes God. What better way to do that than to alter the consciousness of a nations population with mind altering drugs?

Communists have long used drugs, since the early twentieth century, as a weapon to control populations. In 1928, Communist Mao Tse-tung cultivated opium for weakening the resolve of non-conforming populations within Communist China. (Douglass, 1999) Of course, this was done to weaken their will to resist and as soon as the job was accomplished all supplies of opium were cut off as to be able to maintain dominance over production and, likely create dependency upon the Communist government. Furthermore, the nationalization of opium production and trafficking to non-communist states became a paramount activity once Mao had taken control of the whole country in 1949. (Douglass, 1999) They were also manufacturing heroin, hashish, marijuana, and cocaine. In 1951 the United States began seizing large quantities of heroin which was later identified as being produced and manufactured in Communist China. Mao’s culturally decadent “Great Leap Forward” saw a steady rise in heroin production in the late 1950’s through the 1960’s. Ironically, this coincided with increased usage and deaths from overdose in the United States. (Douglass, 1999)

Not only were the Chinese using drugs against non-communist countries, the Soviet Union was as well. According to congressional testimony cited by Douglass, the Korean war was funded solely through the illicit sale of illegal drugs on the part of the Soviet Union and China. These drugs were used against America troops to among other things, study the effectiveness of American forces and the effects of the drugs by experimenting on prisoners of war.

“The experiments were justified as preparations for the next war. American and South Korean POWs were used as guinea pigs in chemical and biological warfare experiments, in physiological and psychological endurance tests, and in testing the effectiveness of various mind-control drugs, which were used to make US servicemen renounce America and speak of the benefits of the Communist system.”[8]

Surely, the effects of these drugs were well known and could have very easily led to strategic planning concerning the undermining of American culture. As mentioned in a previous chapter concerning psychotropic medications Dr. Wayne O Evans at a conference concerning the future use of psychotropic drugs stated the following-


Were these findings the result of some of the experiments conducted on U.S. troops by communists? Could be.

Sadly, Nikita Khrushchev took notice of these experiments and concluded that an effective strategy of weakening the imperialistic, bourgeoisie nations despised by the communists could be formulated.

News of the physically debilitating effect of the drugs captured the imagination of the Soviet leader, Nikita Khrushchev. Drug and narcotics trafficking, he reasoned, should be viewed as a strategic operation that would directly weaken the enemy, rather than merely as a financial or intelligence tool. Accordingly, he ordered a joint military-civilian, Soviet Czechoslovak study to examine the total effects of drug and narcotics trafficking on Western society; this included its effects on labor productivity, education, the military (the ultimate target at that time), and its use in support of Soviet Bloc intelligence operations. Nor was this study approached as a question of tactics or as simply an opportunity for exploitation. The narcotics potential was examined in the context of long range strategy. Costs and risks, benefits and payoffs, integration, and coordination with other operations, were all examined. Even the effects of drugs over several generations, were analyzed by scientists from the Soviet Academy of Sciences. The conclusions of the study were that trafficking would be extremely effective, that the most vulnerable targets were the United States, Canada, France and West Germany, and that the Soviets should capitalize on the opportunity. The study was approved by the Soviet Defense Council in late 1955 or early 1956. The principal guidance from the Defense Council in approving the action was to direct the planners to speed up the timetable of events, which was possible because of certain operational experience with narcotics that already existed within the Soviet Bloc intelligence services but about which the people who had prepared the basic plan were unaware. This plan was formally approved when the Soviets decided to begin narcotics trafficking against the so-called bourgeoisie, especially against the 'American capitalists' - the 'Main Enemy. (Douglass, 1999)

What does any of this have to with the legalization of Marijuana in the United States? Many people would argue that the legalizing, and the decriminalization of the controlled substance would have a debilitating effect of on its negative consequences for society. This isn’t necessarily true in any sense. The effects of Marijuana on the brain cause serious cognitive functioning problems such as difficulty with problem solving, slowed reaction times, psychosis, loss of IQ, and impaired memory.[9] These are generally to be considered side affects of the drug taken in high doses. What people may fail to realize is that todays Marijuana has much higher levels of THC content than what was in the plant years ago. In fact, todays pot is specifically cultivated to produce higher rates of THC. According to the website Live Science[10] authorities have discovered that there has been an average eight percent increase in THC levels between 1994 and 2014. In 2015 NBC News ran a story highlighting the potency of legal Marijuana sold in Colorado and the levels are insanely high. In some cases, it is as high as thirty percent![11] Andy LaFrate, president of Charas Scientific[12] states that he sees little medical value in the Marijuana being cultivated for commercial sale and, has expressed concern that there appears to be a tremendous number of contaminants in the product. It makes sense that the increased amounts of the potent, psychoactive chemical in the drug would result in higher rates of dependency and psychosis.

Marijuana use also induces mental illnesses such as schizophrenia[13] in some people. While the proof, like other matters concerning the drug is inconclusive, the fact that there is a correlation should discourage the production legalized weed, for recreational or medicinal purposes. Sadly, the chances of developing such diseases are greater when the drug is used by people under the age of twenty-one which raises the question. Why would anyone want to make access to this drug easier by legalizing it? Surely, the same argument used in gun control debates can be used. People will get high and have access to the drug regardless; however, when there are such huge profits at stake there is going to be a need to create new customers and the legal barrier being removed may be all the motivation needed for people who may otherwise refrain from using the drug. Children are targeted by offering the drug in edible form such as suckers and gummi bears.

While many people claim that legal pot will eliminate many of the problems associated with its previous illegality, the truth is that it is creating more addiction and more problems with those who are addicted. In fact, people experience disorders with Marijuana at a higher rate than any other drug.[14] According to Robert L. Dupont M.D.[15], sixty percent of substance abuse disorders are due to Marijuana use.[16]

According to a report entitled The Legalization of Marijuana in Colorado: The Impact[17] eleven percent of Colorado youth were using legal marijuana compared to a seven percent nation wide average. Again, this correlates with the idea that children will be directly marketed too and that there is no longer the legal barrier. Adults in Colorado, according to the same report, were also using at a higher rate than the national average. In the last decade, since its legalization Marijuana users had a higher rate of abuse and treatment center admissions than methamphetamine users, second only to alcohol. From 2010 to 2014 the amount of pot seized for illegal distribution outside the state of Colorado increase seven hundred twenty two percent, meaning an increase in criminal activity as the crime rate increased more than twelve percent. Finally, homeless people with no prospects for jobs have flocked to Colorado, using its welfare system, and occupying their shelters simply to be able to use legal Marijuana.[18]

Finally, referring to the use of drugs to undermine our nation it would be worth the time to examine just who is behind the efforts to push legal Marijuana on the American people. A man whose sole mission, by his own admission, is to destroy the United States, George Soros. According to RT[19] Soros has contributed eighty million dollars to the cause of legalizing Marijuana. Through his charitable donations, Soros contributes about four million a year to the Drug Policy Alliance who claims to be pushing drug reform policies based on science and compassion for human rights. If anything, the science of Marijuana uses both recreationally and medically is inconclusive at best and terrifying at worst. Why, when there is ample evidence that it destroys youth would they push this? So they have generations of kids coming unable to think for themselves, of course.

George Soros is a leading financier of the agenda to merge America into a one world order and has contributed large sums of money to destroying this nation.[20] The fact that one dollar of his was contributed to legalize Marijuana should be of concern to all freedom loving Americans.
