Spicer opens his mouth and out comes another lie

Spicer on Thursday, however, linked marijuana use with the widespread abuse of painkillers, suggesting that allowing recreational use of marijuana could be interpreted as condoning drug use more widely.

"When you see something like the opioid addiction crisis blossoming in so many states around this country, the last thing we should be doing is encouraging people," Spicer said. "There is still a federal law that we need to abide by when it comes to recreational marijuana and drugs of that nature."

Study: Opioid Use Decreases in States that Legalize Medical Marijuana

Fewer people are using opioids in states that have legalized medical marijuana, according to a study published Thursday in the American Journal of Public Health that bolsters advocates' claims that marijuana can substitute for more deadly drugs.

They just want to make money for big pharma. There are so many people dependent on opoids that don't even help them. Hell what about gateway prescriptions. You take a prescription that leads to a gateway of other prescriptions to deal with the side effects from the initial prescription. Fucking asshats!

Prohibition will be back and, being a pacifist, I'll barely resist the urge to beat the crap out of every pot smoker I know who voted for that stupid mother fucker.

...was quoted as saying "good people don't smoke marijuana."

My question for the racist pig asshole Sessions would be, "How the fuck would you know what 'good people' are, you Klan humping fascist inbred hillbilly fucKKKstain."

And Spice Baby can go fuck himself sideways with a rusty box cutter, too.

We're just over a month in with these lying vermin, and I've already completely had my fill of these ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE!
