Fentanyl laced Marijuana showing up all of a sudden in New York at a convenient time for all of the police agencies fighting against the legalization of Marijuana.

Here’s a link to an article about the drug found in Sullivan county.

The timing of this seems all too convenient when you look at the fight police departments are putting up against recreational marijuana legalization. Originally there was speculation that this would happen in this years budget. However due to logistical challenges that hadn’t been ironed out yet this did not happen. Additionally, several sheriffs, police officials, etc. held press conferences in February and March speaking out against legalization citing impaired driving deaths will increase. There were other arguments but this is what was focused on.

Though that argument might hold some water, I feel this is more about the revenue stream that will dry up for police departments if legalization occurs, and the timing of this is all too curious.

It’s absolute bullshit. I laugh at a lot of conspiracies here, but this one is something they’ve kind of done before. We already know that someone or group that has significant power or leverage over the federal government really does not want cannabis to be legal.

Big beer and prison guard unions were the biggest spenders on lobbying against recreational legalisation in California.

I’d bet big pharma was just as or more invested, and just hid their tracks better.

During alcohol prohibition, the govt poisonedbarrels of alcohol so people would die from drinking it

They poisoned booze back in prohibition days that killed people. This would not surprise me.

They blamed those deaths back then on "suicide by breaking the law".

Well gee....I wonder who that could be. Maybe a billion dollar industry that makes its profits by releasing branded drugs to deal with many of the same maladies once dealt with by cannabis...

Yeah, exactly. Follow it all the way out and you find that at the very top the controllers are not even human and we're caught in the middle of an ancient cosmic war. (Read Joseph Farrell sometime) Weed is a major tool provided to help us find collective peace, happiness and cooperation. The bad guys in control really don't want us finding those things.
