GLOBAL: Beware, it \’Aint Your Grandpa\’s Weed\’!

\”It isn\’t your grandpa\’s weed,\” former addict says

SPRINGFIELD – While the trendy emphasis may be on \”freeing\” people to legally use cannabis, one former addict says the whole \”legalize pot\” movement now expected to be embraced by Illinois\’ Democrat-controlled General Assembly is really all about selling THC.

\”This isn\’t your grandpa\’s weed,\” Ben Cort says in a TedTalk from Colorado.

In 2012, Colorado legalized cannabis and kickstarted a multibillion dollar industry with every product imaginable — brownies, gummy bears, granola bars, even lube! But to say that we’ve “legalized cannabis” is mistaken — we’ve commercialized THC.

\”The vast majority [of pot] being sold today really isn\’t cannabis,\” Cort says.
