Marijuana Linked to Heart Disease and Depression

Is this one of those things they say to make the War On Drugs alright, they're protecting us from harm they say (key words gov't study) , you know what I say. I say from my experience living in a lot of different places since I was 15, the War On Drugs causes more harm and violence than the drug users themselves. Over 80,000 family's are torn apart every year by either prison or death by police fire [Cited Below in -Article 1]. Only 28 police officers have been killed since the War On Drugs was initiated by Richard M Nixon in 1969 [Cited Below in -Article 2]. A Waco Texas woman was shot dead during a police raid while nursing a 9 moth old baby. The child was struck in the arm during the shooting, since the Infant's weak immune system couldn't fight off the infection effectively enough to prevent gangrene from forming, they had to amputate at the hand, then the shoulder (that's pretty effin sick if you ask me all over a small amount of marijuana). Just over 2 ounces of marijuana and $350 dollars were recovered in the raid that led a $60,000 investigation [Cited Below in -Article 3]. Sounds like they really care about our safety, huh?

Now ask yourselves, what could this article possibly have to do with the War On Drugs. I'll tell you what it has to do with the War On Drugs. Notice how all of my work is cited, notice how this is an article on a government study. In order for works cited to become effective they have to come from a reputable source, people believe the government counts as one, not so. How many times did Bush say he had irrefutable proof of weapons of mass destruction, did they? Well so far we haven't found anything and its going on 7 years, so much for a war that everyone said was never gonna happen in the first place. War is expensive and The government needs money to fund this whole operation now doesn't it, and who's gonna pay for this whole War On Drugs, well that's the kicker. The amount sized in my previous example is not typically the case. Lots of times police seize much more money than they use to fund their investigation. They use this revenue to fund police stations and military fortifications who assist in making these busts [not citing any of this work you can just find it on Google from a million trusted sources]. Here's a good way of looking at it for every time the police ruin lives over a marijuana related offense the precinct gets brand new equipment.

Now finally we will get to the article in question after all of these useless facts, useless until now that is. In order for the War On Drugs to be justified they need a reason why drugs are causing harm so they can continue making money off of these non-violent offenders. They do that by way of propaganda. Heart disease is linked to poor tissue in the arteries and high cholesterol. Marijuana has been scientifically proven not to cause any of these symptoms, in which case it cant possibly cause heart disease [cited in -Article 4].
