All this because of THC? Outrageous. The only reason its illegal is BigPharma and BigAlcohol paid for it. It competes with their expensive toxic alternatives that damage your body, but they dont care about that.
139 Millionen Dollar gegen C*nnabis. Bezahlt von der Alkoholindustrie.
Die Branche mit 3 Millionen Toten im Jahr finanziert Kampagnen gegen eine Pflanze.
60 Prozent der Cannabis-Konsumenten trinken weniger Alkohol. In Colorado sanken die Alkoholeinkäufe nach der Legalisierung um 13 Prozent. Und in den USA ist der Anteil der Alkoholtrinker auf ein 90-Jahres-Tief gefallen.
Die Alkoholindustrie weiß das. Und sie reagiert — mit 139 Millionen Dollar in politischen Kampagnen in einem Jahrzehnt. Mit Spenden an Anti-Cannabis-Organisationen. Und mit einem Plan, den legalen Markt am Ende selbst zu übernehmen.
In diesem Video: die Zahlen, die Spenden und eine Industrie, die nie ein Problem mit Rausch hatte — sondern mit Konkurrenz.

It's literally gotten hundreds of thousands off alcohol. Hence the scrutiny from #BigAlcohol . Tennessee (Booze capital of America) proved it with their unjust and unscientific ban on everything based on lies and DISinformation. #KeepKratomLegal
#BigAlcohol & #BigPharma
have *very* deep pockets
when it comes to
lobbying $$$ money $$$
at local, State, & Federal
levels of government.
The orgs like AKA expect their pieces
of that lobby $$$ pie.
Always follow the money …
The #BigAlcohol lobby
is working/spending at
every level of government
to block the availability of
cannabis, hemp, & kratom products
to informed, consenting adult consumers.
Always follow the $$$ money $$$
Exposed: Shocking exploitative practices of #BigAlcohol in the #GlobalSouth
Big Alcohol uses similar tactics in the UK & the West to:
➡️ Influence or thwart health policies in favour of protecting and growing their profits
➡️ Aggressively target children, young people & women
Bribing politicians. Writing governments' own alcohol policies. Targeting children with cheap sachets to hook new drinkers. Modern slavery.
This is Big Alcohol in the Global South - and it's been hidden for too long.

Texas has had legal TOXIC gas station HEMP for 8 years, the largest state in terms of consumption.
Think of it as cannabis that has been grown in unknown conditions, by unknown actors, with unknown pesticides. Like cannabis after a nuclear winter.
The populace wants legal cannabis, the addled dinosaurs the lord over us don't - owned by BigAlcohol.

BigPrison loves prohibition.
BigAlcohol loves prohibition.
BigPharma loves prohibition.
Texas overwhelmingly wants to end prohibition.
Uphill battle for freedom, when Abbott and Patrick are at the trough of every special interest in the list above.
