JILLIAN: VIRGINIA IS THE FIRST
STATE IN THE SOUTH TO LEGALIZE
RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA.
FIRST GUEST IS A DOCTOR WHO
WARNED LAWMAKERS AGAINST
LEGALIZING THE DRUG SAYING IT
LEADS TO AN INCREASE IN MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES AND CAR CRASHES.
DOCTOR JAMES AVERY STUDYING THE
EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA FOR YEARS
AND JOINS US NOW.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE ARE NOT
NECESSARILY LISTENING TO WHAT
YOU HAVE TO SAY?
THE MAJORITY SUPPORT THE
LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA, 68%
OF THEM DO.
PEOPLE WANT TO.
>> WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST 15
YEARS AS MEDICAL SCIENCE, THE
DECADE OF THE BRAIN IN MEDICINE,
WE FOUND MARIJUANA IS MORE PROBLEMATIC THAN WE INITIALLY
PROBLEMATIC THAN WE INITIALLY
THOUGHT.
ANY EXPERT WILL TELL YOU THAT.
IN THE LAST 15 YEARS THE AVERAGE
AMERICAN EVEN SAFER THAN THEY
THOUGHT 15 YEARS AGO.
YOU HAVE A HUGE GAP BETWEEN THE
MEDICAL EVIDENCE, THE SCIENCE EVIDENCE AND WHAT PEOPLE
EVIDENCE AND WHAT PEOPLE
BELIEVE.
IT IS NOT THAT DIFFERENT FROM
EARLY NEWS OF COVID OR PANDEMIC,
PEOPLE NEED MEDICAL EDUCATION.
I WAS IN SOME OF THESE HEARINGS
TRYING TO GET THE MEDICAL
EVIDENCE, THE SCIENTIFIC
EVIDENCE ACROSS AND INSTEAD
DEBATING HOW MANY PLANTS CAN
GROW IN YOUR HOME, HOW TO
REGULATE THIS, NOBODY SEEMED
INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT THE
MEDICAL SCIENCES.
JILLIAN: WHY DO YOU THINK THAT
IS?
>> FOUR MAJOR GROUPS,
CORPORATIONS, THIS BE FARMERS
GROWING POT IN THEIR BACKYARD
BUT MAJOR CORPORATIONS WITH
WELL-PAID LOBBYISTS.
NUMBER 2, POLITICIANS WHO LIKE
THE NEW TAX REVENUE SOURCE.
NUMBER 3 A GROUP OF EXTREME
LIBERTARIANS WHO WANT UNLIMITED RESTRICTIONS ON ANY DRUGS AND
RESTRICTIONS ON ANY DRUGS AND
THE FOURTH GROUP IS CELEBRITIES.
BESIDES A FEW MOST CELEBRITIES
IF THEY GO ON A TALK SHOW IT IS
ALL LAUGH AND GIGGLES ABOUT
MARIJUANA AND TALKING ABOUT CAR
CRASHES, INCREASE IN MENTAL
ILLNESS, NOT TALKING PREGNANT
MOMS AND THE UNBORN, IN COLORADO
50% OF THE NEWBORNS HAD THC IN
THEIR BLOODSTREAM.
THEY ASK FOLKS WHY WOULD YOU BE
USING MARIJUANA WHEN YOU ARE
PREGNANT?
IT IS NATURAL AND GREEN, THAT WAS THE OVERWHELMING COMMENT AND
WAS THE OVERWHELMING COMMENT AND
HEALTH MORNING NAUSEA.
JILLIAN: WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR
OUR VIEWERS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS?
YOU’RE NOT AGAINST MEDICAL
MARIJUANA AND DIFFERENT REASONS
WHY PEOPLE NEED TO USE IT BUT
YOU SAY IT SHOULDN’T BE LEGALIZE AS A WHOLE.
>> IF YOUR STATE HAS BEEN
LEGALIZING YOU DON’T.
IT WILL HURT THE POOR AND THE
DISADVANTAGED.
THE SAME PEOPLE WHO GET HURT BY
CIGARETTES, ALCOHOL, GAMBLING,
LOTTERY TICKETS ETC..
IF IT IS LEGALIZED IN YOUR STATE
LET THEM LIMIT THE THC TO 15%.
THE MARIJUANA TODAY IS 30%, 40%
IN 60s IN 70s IT WAS 2%.
LIMIT THC, STRICT RESTRICTIONS
ON TEEN FRIENDLY FLAVORS, THEY
ARE PUSHING THIS FOR TEENS,
PREVENT ADVERTISING, PREVENT
COMMERCIALIZATION, IF YOU’RE
GOING TO LEGALIZE IT PUT TIGHT
RESTRICTIONS SO PEOPLE WHO ARE
GOING TO BE HURT ARE PROTECTED
SOMEWHAT.
REGULATIONS ON DRIVING LAW, WE
CAN’T MEASURE IF SOMEBODY TOOK
