NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
In a STUNNING admission that reveals a DECADE OF DANGEROUS LIES, The New York Times has issued a MEA CULPA for fueling America’s marijuana crisis. The very outlet that championed legalization as a harmless social cure has been FORCED TO CONFESS that their rosy predictions have unleashed a NIGHTMARE of addiction, psychosis, and public health calamity.
For years, the paper’s editorial board and a complicit media chorus dismissed concerns, calling addiction a “relatively minor problem.” They LIED. Now, the data they tried to ignore is screaming back: a SHOCKING 18 million Americans are lighting up almost daily, a terrifying tripling since 2012, with nearly 2.8 million suffering from excruciating Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome. Emergency rooms are flooded with cases of crippling paranoia and psychotic breaks, while stoned drivers are turning our roads into KILLING FIELDS.
This is not the gentle “wellness” they sold you. This is a FULL-BLOW national health disaster manufactured in the halls of progressive politics and corporate greed. The so-called experts who promised “net health benefits” have blood on their hands. They unleashed a potent, unregulated drug on a population completely unprepared for its DARK SIDE, all while vilifying anyone who dared to sound the alarm as regressive.
The Times now timidly calls for “regulation” after the barn door has been blown off its hinges. But the damage is DONE. A generation has been misled to believe a potent psychoactive substance is no riskier than a cup of coffee. The truth they now begrudgingly admit is that America is addicted, and the architects of this addiction are the very voices we were told to trust. We traded one set of casualties from the war on drugs for a new, MEDICALLY-COMPLICATED wave of victims. The question now is: WHAT OTHER “PROGRESSIVE” TRUTHS are they lying to us about?
