There would not be this problem without the legalization of pot. It is a terrible failure on every level. Contrary to what they say, 4 people have died from acute poisoning, and adults cannot show "responsible use of marijuana." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/10/h...

There is no condition for which marijuana is recognized as a treatment by the relevant federal agencies.
So how come some states let doctors recommend it? Because those states made political decisions to create medical programs around the drug—not scientific ones. thedrugreport.org/2025/06/24/e...

Foster Winans wrote an excellent article 5-1/2 years ago about how and why marijuana failed. For anyone still to be pushing legalization is wrong. Cut our losses and go no further along this line. @usatoday.com policy failure!
