“No one talks about this,” Kilmeade complained. “THC is addicting. I know so many people — they say they were told one thing and they get addicted to it and that’s an addicting substance. There is a price to pay for pot.”[/FONT]

[FONT="]“It’s not a minor non-violent felony,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd opined. “It’s ruining families and killing people every day across the United States. And we stand here in denial thinking that it’s not a gateway drug to drugs that’s killing people.”
Fox & Friends claims marijuana gummies are ‘killing people - Fake News
More Fake News from the Trump Administration Network Television. Fox & Friends (with friends like these ...) for reasons I cannot fathom decided to roll out Reefer Madness hysteria. Slow news day? Slow thinking viewers? Maybe Fox was given directions from the White House Press Office to do something do anything to take the heat off of Donald Trump as he returns from Argentina with his ass in his hands. Whatever the reason, it is Trump TV and bull**** Fake News and it is wrong.

For people who are not discerning, for people who depend on television "news" for good and true information, for people who don't have critical thinking skills this kind of programming is nothing more than propaganda. It is bull****.
Fox is promoting the same unfounded Reefer Madness idiocy that fueled the huge failure of the federal War on Drugs. Fox's ridiculous attempt at social engineering is disgusting.

I have to agree there is a price to pay for smoking marijuana.
The price of a Cheesy Gordita Crunch, that is.
Kids overdosed on green hornet gummies. Could have been fatal. The overriding message, per the sheriff, is why it is packaged for appeal to kids.
If we want pot legalized, we should question that, if nothing else.
That is 100% false. It is actually impossible to die from too much marijuana given that it is impossible to inhale enough without first dying of oxygen deprivation or eating enough without first dying from an exploded stomach.
Fox personnel appear to have claimed that THC (the active indgredient in marijuana) was addictive (which at best is debatable yet not proven one way or the other from what I could find) - it was their guest (moron?) who made the claim that marijuana kills.
Misleading thread title and op
Actually,

THC has most definitely been proven to not be physically addictive. There are no physical withdrawal symptoms.
However it can be psychology addictive.
Also in recorded history of marijuana use there has not been one overdose death contributed to marijuana.
This just sensationalist propaganda...
Hmm... doesn't that (bolded above) make the Fox News personnel comment valid? The THC causing death comment was not made by Fox News personnel - it was the unsupported opinion of their guest that it was possible.
If they were referring to the possibility of it being psychologically addicting then that was sloppy phrasing on their part. If we are going to lump things that are potentially psychologically addicting then we are going to have to start calling a LOT of things addicting. Hamburgers. Porn. Pizza. Ranch dressing. Spicy food. TV. This debate forum.
Calling something psychologically addicting doesn’t really tell us anything as nearly anything can be psychologically addicting. So if that is what they meant then they were being sloppy or deceptive.

Looking back on my life, and the assorted 'adventures' I've undertaken, I feel it safe to say I could be considered somewhat of an expert on the topic. And I'm quite sure many of you can easily make the same claim. However, my professional career has progressed to the point where I find I must now pass a urine test for THC.And this is in Canuckland. :shock: So I'm in the middle of a 28 day cleansing, in order to pass this annoying little test. Now, my job comes with quite significant stress, which I've always been in the habit of relieving with a big fat "J" after knocking off for the day. I can tell you all, beyond any doubt, that there most definitely is a psychological dependence that develops.
Is it a "gate-way" drug? In many cases I believe it is. It certainly was for me as a young man.
Should it be packaged as gummies and other such things? Meh...part of me says no...part of me says why not.
Should it be illegal? No. Prohibition of Pot serves no good purpose at all, unless you own a jail.

https://thetakeout.com/washington-state-ban-marijuana-candy-edibles-1829625086Producers of edible marijuana products for sale in Washington State are reeling after the state’s Liquor And Cannabis Board handed down an unexpected decision last week. The board announced it would reverse its earlier approvals of marijuana-infused hard candies and gummies on the grounds that they are “especially appealing to children.” The move would effectively ban the sale of most marijuana candies in the state.
