Channel 7, Denver Biased toward Lies

Channel7 news at Denver misinforms and spreads myths again.One might call it lying, The GOP call it not factual.
Again, they have shown their biased reporting by saying the college kid who was partying jumped off the balcony because of marijuana. They neglected entirely the fact, reported very quickly at the end of the story when it first came out, that he was also drinking alcohol, and who knows what else. The toxicology report has yet to come out.
In an unrelated story, a man tragically shot his wife who had called 911 for help.Her husband was hallucinating, and there was a gun in the house.She was afraid. She mentioned he had eaten a medicated candy. He also was on prescription drugs for at least depression. Drugs that have known side effects of hallucinations. Once again, it was very, very quickly, 2 or 3 seconds worth, mentioned that he was taking other drugs.  That was the only time these drugs were mentioned in any of the followup stories. From that point on, only the edible marijuana was mentioned.
They also said something about overdosing on marijuana.
You don't overdose on marijuana. It makes you go to sleep. You cannot overdose, this is a myth that has been debunked over and over.
Yet, there it is, on Channel 7 News, Denver. An out and out lie about marijuana.
Is it any wonder people are totally misinformed as to this and so many other issues, when the news insists on  misinforming, misleading and outright lying to us?
Another instance of Channel 7 News misleading and misinformation... there was a fire of unknown causes, it is still being investigated. Channel 7 comes on and says it could be a fire from the production of hash oil. They don't say, it could be from natural gas..there were supposed to be explosions, and that is also a possibility, they didn't say it could be a fire from innumerable causes. The only conclusion they have is that it could be a fire from hash oil. If they don't know what the cause is, and it is rather difficult for them to say they do, as the experts don't know..investigation pending..why in the world would they do their best to make people believe hash oil production was the cause? It could have been pipe bombs made by the news crew at channel 7 news, too, but they don't say that, now, do they?
Isn't it time for the lies to stop? Who does it benefit to keep hemp and medical marijuana, recreational for that matter, illegal? Who are the companies and corporations that are so afraid of it they use their influence to keep the American people misinformed? What do they have to gain, or to loose for that matter?
I won't go into that, there is a huge supply of information on the web about the criminalization of the cannabis plant. It certainly was not for our welfare, and we need to fight these people any way we can.

Happy Easter and Happy 420

This year, Easter and 420 fell on the same day.
420 Fests abounded as this is the first 420 that marijuana was legal in years and years. Most of us cannot remember when no one was opposed to the use of Hemp.
Many learned in school about a few of the things hemp could make. Hardly anyone learned all of the things that can be made from hemp.
Now, we are worrying about researching the uses of hemp, much to the chagrin of multiple corporations.
Oil is especially upset with the reemergence of hemp as a natural resource, as virtually everything that can be made from oil, or any other fossil fuel, can be made better with much less environmental impact, and more economically than fossil fuels have ever been, or are capable of being.
Hemp doesn't need filters, doesn't destroy land, air or water resources. It doesn't leak methane, and every part of the plant can be used. Even the seeds are nutritious and delicious food.
While the medicinal qualities are well documented, and well known by many, there is a vested interest in keeping people uninformed and misinformed.
Unfortunately for this humble weed, vested interests have billions of dollars to buy or attempt to buy both political policies and public opinion.
Truly, in the case of hemp and it's cousin marijuana, the world has undergone an attempted mind wipe by the oil, coal, gas, pharmaceutical, plastics, textile and paper companies. These and many more are threatened by the hemp plant. Unfortunately for them, people are becoming more educated and realize at the very least hemp is a harmless product that could very well make a lot of money for a lot of people. Starting with the farmer, and is a much much cheaper and better product than is presently available.
Education will stop the inroads enemies of hemp have made into politics and the influence of money into our government.
Hopefully, the enlightenment of the American People will come soon enough to save the human race.If the huge corporations that stand against it wins, we will all lose.
