An official in the Trump administration’s White House drug office claims that “the number one drug of addiction is marijuana”—arguing that it is important to “remember the victims of marijuana, the people who’ve died from marijuana harms.” What is the public supposed to think when it comes to vaccines or COVID or any other public health,” she said. If the U.S. withdraws from international drug treaties, how does that affect other international treaties like the ones for, say, nuclear weapons?” And if not, why are we allowing big marijuana to control the rules and regulations on public health?” Other posts she made from the event said advocates “need to get message out about marijuana public health crisis” and that “marijuana victims” speaking there told “heart breaking stories.”
