サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this episode of Smoke & Mirrors, Brian Brown delves into the conspiracy theory that Big Pharma played a significant role in the prohibition of cannabis due to its potential threat to their profit margins. The podcast explores how pharmaceutical companies supposedly manipulated politics and public opinion while also creating synthetic versions of cannabis products. Evidence discussed includes the historical use of cannabis as a medicine, the establishment of the Marihuana Tax Act coinciding with the rise of lab-created drugs, lobbying against cannabis legalization, a decline in opioid prescriptions in states legalizing cannabis, and pharmaceutical companies' attempts to patent cannabis components despite its Schedule I classification under federal law. However, the podcast also highlights the recent trend of increasing cannabis legalization. Brian asks listeners to stay skeptical and reminds them of the importance of following the money to uncover possible hidden agendas.
