United States Surgeon General Jerome Adams and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, both Trump-appointed officials with pharmaceutical company ties, issued a national warning Thursday about marijuana legalization and increasing potency.
"This ain't your mother's marijuana," Adams said, highlighting research showing the strength of weed and the concentration of its active ingredient, THC, has increased three-fold in recent decades. "Marijuana's increasingly widespread availability in multiple and highly potent forms, coupled with a false and dangerous perception of safety among youth, merits a nationwide call to action," reads the Surgeon General's"Marijuana Use & the Developing Brain" advisory."The legalization movement may be impacting youth perception of harm from marijuana.
Adams and Azar warned young people and parents about psychosis, paranoia, anxiety and other harmful effects they tied to marijuana usage.

Da fuck?
About what you'd expect from big pharma hacks.
Yeah nah weed is not harmful the drugs you push via big pharma however are the reason there is a heroin epidemic
I don’t currently use, but my response is “get fucked Nixon era mentality “
These people work for big pharma they says this to keep their pockets lined. Yeah it’s not the weed my parents smoked when they were younger b/c they were smokin bullshit.
1973 called and they want their fake news back
He time traveling from 1955?
Why would believe anything coming out of the WH Secretaries? All the competent ones left and we have a lack of scientific leadership starting from environment, to health to immigration!
Not as dangerous as crooked officials.
Why would anyone be surprised by that? Both have a stake in Wall Street drug empires; pot is not a Wall Street profit center.
How much do the farmaceuticals pay him To promote this inthepocket
A drug company gets fined 500 million dollars and the federal government rates coming out against marijuana Strange the correlation is so obvious.
Yea - too many people die from shooting up the pot. We need to make it illegal so we can incarcerate those dopeheads. I can't stand people that are on the pot. /s
It's only dangerous to pantries and refrigerators full of food
Oxy nd Perc safe. Marijuana bad. Got it
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
Stop shooting up the marijuana, kids.
Bro them weeds are mad dangerous. JackFlahertyJr1
More dangerous than alcohol and cigarettes?
This is the equivalent of this:
Yeah right !! He’s fucking BS ! Instead he wants ppl to use opioids 😡🤬 what a MF ... ! Marijuana it’s the best medicine almost for anything, está tirando patadas de ahogado 😛😝he’s very close to be drowned, that’s why !! ppl already know what the marijuana can do, to late pal
We knew this in the 60's have people forgot?
1970 redux.
Also don't listen to that crazy rock and roll music.
As he encourages the use of multiple, powerful opioids....money, money, money.
Pot smokers are dopes.
Yet medical providers kill millions of great Christian Americans at pleasure of Congress for lobbyist dollars and surgeon general says nothing
Reefer madness.
Refer Madness all over again
Well get with the times GOP SenateGOP most people believe it should be legalized. Oh wait you only want people hooked on pharmaceuticals so that you can profit from it and remain in power hypocrisy
I can guarantee not a single young American is going to listen to you. Stop this strategy and stop the war on drugs. You all should be fired for failing at your jobs
As I sit here toking some of this 'dangerous drug', I contemplate the more dangerous assholes that propigate irrational theories and misinformation. They twist words, lie; then support those lies with more lies. Disinformation is what Communist countries do.
Folks. GoogleAndrewYang
Horrible drug man. Beautiful sight seeing that shit burn.
It's a good bet that people have been smoking or ingesting marijuana for at least the last hundred thousand years. Even by today's standards that's a long pharmaceutical drug test.
You're FIRED : no medical license for you, for not updating education!!!
More scare tactics. It's been used for centuries without a problem.
It just goes to show he has no idea what he's talking about
What is this, 1930 redux?
Well so much for getting it legal in my state...
Once upon a time, the surgeon general’s warnings actually meant something. Under Trump, EVERYTHING is politicized, and lies flow faster than the speed of light...so all bets are off!
Wait. What year is it again?
idddiooottt.
He’s just following order from his boss 45
Are we in the 40’s again?!?
Thats why half of the U.S. States legalized it. So the rich legal biz that sell it to you can keep you stoned and you will not ever be competition.
Yeh that’s why hospitals and morgues are overflowing with marijuana overdoses?
Somebody is getting paid.
So 1960’s.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Conservatives NEVER evolve, which is why they are stuck on stupid and don't believe in evolution
They made a movie about this once, it was called 'Reefer Madness.'
BS, I have been a pot smoker since I was 12. I am now 48 and a College Graduate with my Degree in IBM Mainframe/Mid-range Programming. I program in 5 different languages and only multiple platforms including Android. U.S. S. General is sucking on the peckers of Big Pharama Bro.
About time.
ARE YOU KIDDING, AMERICA IS MAKING A KILLING IN TAXES OF THAT KUSH. YOU LATE LIKE ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE SAD THAT BEFORE THEY MADE IT LEGAL
Oh, FFS.🙄
Yes in bed with big Pharma
Well duh! Adolescents shouldn’t use any drug.
How put him up to this... the drug companies? What about alcohol?
Jump into 2019, will you please?
So what’s his stance on alcohol?
I almost ate my friends face off that one time I shot up on the weed.
Is there anyone who actually cares about what these 'authorities' think anymore. We all know they are full of bs.
Did I sleep through the scientific research that supports their claim?
Didn’t know we had a Surgeon General
But alcohol known to kill your liver and your mind, make people rambunctious and drive when they shouldn’t killing people - keep pouring? Ridiculous. ThursdayThoughts
The only reason weed is dangerous is because y’all dumb fucks made it illegal, so now a cop might beat me up for having it, so therefore it’s dangerous
🙄🙄🙄 Please! HHSGov Marijuana is not a harmless drug & is addictive but so is alcohol 🍺🍷 & you should deal with it the same way! Further, Opiods are way more of a problem & very dangerous drug so why don’t you deal with that problem!
Even joerogan said that about ganja. Not everyone should partake.
This line of fear mongering is getting tired. Most ppl understand weed is not this boogeyman conservatives claim it is. Utter nonsense
Cigarettes, sugar, meat, alcohol are the most dangerous to people, but because the have gop lobbying they aren't considered dangerous..
Fool
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
But alcohol is ok?
He is the dangerous
23 minutes till 4:20
I mean, your brain doesn't finish developing until 25, so really you should abstain until you get closer to that age. 21 would be decent to legalize it everywhere.
FFS.
politicalinsidr What about alcohol and nicotine!? Worse
alcohol way more dangerous 'general'
😾
Where do they find these idiots, under a log?
U.S. Surgeon General, HHS Secretary label sugar, salt and fat 'dangerous drugs,' warn young Americans against use
How are we ever going to be able to determine these facts until we can remove category 1 classification from marijuana so we can actually perform studies on the use and consequences. The government has no studies which can confirm these characteristics
politicalinsidr 🙄
Idiots!!
Hey! You don't know what strentgh my momma's weed is
Ahahahahahahaha! Cat’s out of the bag fuckers. We know better.
Seems that MAGA meant returning to the racism,pollution and idiocy over marijuana of the 50s and 60s.
And he is black what a sell out.
Let's hope these clowns don't regain control of everything. They recycle the same old tired bullshit generation after generation.😎
Not again
Absolutely--the only way to wean yourself off a serious drug like 'doobies' is with something safe like Oxycontin or Tramadol Hydrochloride in large, lawsuit-losing doses.
Ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahaha
It's not though
Latest studies show irreversible drop in IQ by 8-15 points with chronic use in adolescence 😭
LOL
Both are in the pocket of big pharma.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good, the last thing this country needs is more degeneracy.
Dangerous to the system, which is all the more reason to use it.
i may be mistaken... but didn't G-D create weed? therefore, it must be good... right?
The 50s called. They want their ignorance back.
Far more benign than federally-sanctioned alcoholic beverages, cigarettes or opiods
Pfft! Less benign than alcohol. Leads to sweat pants and potato chips. Worst thing it does is it makes being bored ok.
Of course “young Americans” shouldn’t use marijuana, as well as alcohol, tobacco, vaping, dangerous behavior and anything else that can harm them. Legalize weed for adults and taxes.
Let’s get some alcohol, have a few drinks, and laugh at the stupid dopers!
Jesus these people are out of touch.
I hope he labels alcohol as same
😒
The ONLY “danger” is to the snack food aisle.
he's mistaken
What’s dangerous is that man they work for. What’s dangerous are the environmental policies being revoked by the realDonaldTrump. What’s dangerous are out of touch phony conservative values voters.
Dangerous for my waistline.
Lol
To hell you say.
