I want a return to normalcy. That means @JoeBiden I like @ewarren's ideas & energy. @PeteButtigieg isn't ready for president YET. Joe is ready to govern day 1. @BetoORourke smoked too much pot, but great orator. @SenKamalaHarris says abolish ICE (really?) @CoryBooker 💙💙but-
Researched THC over 40 years. It is a very dangerous drug. CBD OK but with @US_FDA oversight 4 purity,safety, efficacy & clinical trials. Move Pot fr Schedule 1 & research it. Pot stays in system 7 weeks. Dems calling 4 legalization r irresponsible panderers or ignorant of facts.
Pot causes motor impairment, cognitive decline, memory loss & average drop of 10 IQ points. There is a reason it's called DOPE. Told group of post docs & grad students this at major scientific mtg & they took it seriously. Ddn't even mention gynecomastia (man boobs)& impotence.
@USArmy did duplicate studies on large numbers of recruits. Those with history of pot smoking had much higher incidence of schizophernic episodes. THC is HALLUCINOGENIC! CBD has the beneficial effects. If @TheDemocrats promote legalizing pot they're panderers & irresponsible.
More than 40% of job applicants r rejected because fail drug tests. Communitues of color r badly hurt by this bcz of misperception (it's just pot!) but it blocks employability 4 better jobs construction, truckdrivers, plant operators, bcz of accidents. Insurers require testing.

Facts you should know about pot @TheDemocrats @ewarren @SenSanders @PeteButtigieg @BetoORourke @CoryBooker @SenKamalaHarris @DNCYouthCouncil @TheDemCoalition @JoeBiden
There was a good idea about decriminalization using a three strikes you're out approach for simple possession. Educate people about the FACTS on pot. CBD canabidiol has beneficial effects but there have been serious adverse reactions. Needs @US_FDA oversight&approval.
