Anti-Medical Marijuana Group Insinuates Pot Cookies Will Be Used for Rape
Aug. 12 2014



via Facebook
The anti-medical marijuana group called "No on 2" has made a lot of noise about the supposed dangers of legalizing medical weed in Florida.


Some of its claims include that weed leads to gay sex and AIDS, weed has more cancer-causing compounds than cigarettes, weed causes more accidents and ER visits, and weed dispensaries will be the new pill mills.

But the latest argument is a bizarre mix of ignorance and bewilderment, soaked in offense. It's weird enough to be from the The Onion .

No on 2's latest claim: that Amendment 2 will lead to people being able to sell pot cookies, which would be the new date-rape drug.

$2.5 million donation. Republican fundraiser Mel Sembler is also backing the group financially.

Then there's the Florida Sheriff's Association, which reportedly makes big money and stands to make more as long as marijuana remains illegal.

The Florida Sheriff's Association has been banging the drum on the same talking point -- that Amendment 2 is filled with legal loopholes -- since launching its anti-medical weed movement.

The group released a video ad that lays on the fear-mongering pretty thick, constantly suggesting that if Amendment 2 is passed, weed will ultimately be legalized in all forms everywhere in Florida.

"A vote for Amendment 2," Florida Sheriffs Association President Sheriff Grady Judd says in the video, "is a vote for legalizing marijuana forever in the state of Florida."

The group's other claims have been that there will be a rise in accidents and crime should marijuana be legalized.

All these arguments have been debunked time and again. But that hasn't stopped No on 2 from going strong to the hoop with its efforts to scare the crap out of people who may not know better.

The latest attempt at "educating" folks is the ol' "pot cookies are a date-rape drug" argument.

According to the group, all the numerous Amendment 2 loopholes will lead to people finding ways to sell pot cookies (not pot brownies, apparently) legally, and then dudes will buy them and feed them to their hapless lady friends so they can rape them.

Also, know who loves cookies? Children! What will become of the children when they get their hands on them pot cookies?

United for Care's campaign manager, Ben Pollara, told New Times:
"If there was any doubt, the Florida Supreme Court has already ruled that the amendment will only be used in cases of debilitating illness. The purpose of the amendment is to allow the medical use of marijuana for individuals with debilitating diseases as determined by a licensed Florida physician."

But that's not stopping No on 2 from putting out stuff like this while being totally serious at the same time:


Aside from the atrocious Photoshop job, the ad is comically pathetic while still managing to be insanely offensive. That's tough to pull off, but No on 2 seems to have nailed it.

Yeah, because the only way any female would ever want to have sex, is if she's been dosed with "pot cookies."

Are they insinuating that they believe all men will naturally resort to sinister measures in order to achieve sex?

Who would want people like that writing laws?


Last i heard, many females do indeed enjoy both pot and sex, and are fully capable of making their own informed decisions.

So maybe this ad is aimed at the mis/ill-informed?

Are there enough misinformed/ill-informed females out there, that this would be a significant problem?

Prohibiting cannabis doesn't stop stupid and irresponsible people from being stupid and irresponsible (both/all genders).


The only thing this is actually trying to accomplish, is to appease the cannaphobic morons, perhaps vying for their vote.

Pot is definitely an aphrodisiac, especially with women. One problem. It makes them want to have sex. Kinda hard to rape the willing.

So the sheriff's association finds it acceptable to trot out BLATANT LIES in an attempt to protect its own revenue stream- one that criminalizes innocent activities and has been shown time and again to be racially discriminatory- so why should we believe this organization about ANYTHING? To include their assertions they're here to PROTECT US?!

ANY PUBLIC ORGANIZATION THAT INTENTIONALLY LIES TO SERVE ITS OWN ENDS NEEDS TO BE DEFUNDED. And, its leaders incarcerated for lying to the public.

They should be fined and imprisoned for spreading such misinformation. America should take a clue from countries like Israel (for example) which researches cannabinoids and their medical uses. It's time to recognize the therapeutic potential of cannabis, it has proven its' medical use far and wide and millions benefit from it.
