[All] From Pipelines to Pot

[Lanteigne]

The path from Pipelines to Pot is linked to Koch Brothers and former Harper Cabinet Ministers  
People must be careful with the legalization of Pot in Canada. This product was unregulated for years and there is a wave of genetically modified varieties being patented and introduced. It is unregulated pharmaceutical testing?  Is there adequate labelling, studies in dose and second hand impacts?  https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.4854746?__twitter_impression=true

US invested $100 million in Genetic Extinction technology using Crispr. DNA technology. It can be used in very bad ways. Do we have policies and oversight to protect people from the risks?  https://amp.theguardian.com/science/2017/dec/04/us-military-agency-invests-100m-in-genetic-extinction-technologies?__twitter_impression=true

Crispr can to modify medicinal traits of Pot in Canada. https://growersnetwork.org/laboratories/crispr-could-revolutionize-the-cannabis-industry/

Crispr edited cells have already been linked to cancer in two separate studies as published in Scientific America.  https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/crispr-edited-cells-linked-to-cancer-risk-in-2-studies/

Crispr technology was developed with funding from Koch Brothers. If this science causes cancer and these guys profit from cancers meds and research  and it's connected to Pot at a same time tar sands is failing.https://ki.mit.edu/news/2017/crispr-goes-non-viral

Koch Industries has financial stake in Pharmaceuticals not just oil. https://shadowproof.com/2010/08/30/koch-industries-has-financial-stake-in-derivatives-and-pharmaceuticals-not-just-oil/

Koch brothers have pledged to donate up to $400 million to Republicans running for office in the 2018 and this is why more Republicans are supporting the decriminalization of pot.https://www.potnetwork.com/news/encouraged-koch-brothers-more-republicans-support-legalizing-marijuana

After Stephen Harper left office many of his Ministers joined the pot industry including Julian Fantino, Gary Goodyear and Joe Oliver. https://www.theleafnews.com/news/joe-oliver-is-the-latest-harper-conservative-to-join-canadas-cannabis-industry-477948303.html

Food for thought. Buyer beware.
