With a

look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point. This week the

United States Department of Justice announced plans to reclassify marijuana

as a drug-like prescription painkillers. The proposed regulations would not decriminalize

marijuana but it's a push in that direction and would make accessing the drug

easier across the country. And this move to reclassify marijuana is the next

dangerous step in a decades-long campaign to market it as if it's safe

and non-addictive. Potts effects on health insanity may not be as obvious as harder drugs,

but that doesn't mean it's safe.

Research has found marijuana use closely linked with increased risk for depression and

bipolar disorder.

It's also a leading indicator of workplace accidents and has led to higher rates of schizophrenia

and young men.

It's also worth noting that those who stand to gain the most

from this reclassification are not patients.

They're corporations that are already profiting

from this multi-million dollar marijuana industry.

Ultimately, reclassifying marijuana will lead to more harm, not more health. I'm John Stone Street.
