I'm only Giving GMA 3, a One star rating on today's episode. Wednesday, May 22, 2024 .... Specifically about Cannabis POISIONING Elderly folk over 65. 🤬 Verbiage, Verbiage, Verbiage! The weapon that writers use to put a slant, or a bias thought into the minds of their readers, or in this case, the Viewers. Nothing in the details of this story indicated that Cannabis POISIONED anyone. Using that word inflames the viewers perception of the story. The facts stated in the segment, indicated various REACTIONS to Cannabis. And, it indicated the problem of Elderly being on More Medications, increases a possible REACTION to mixing Cannabis with one or more of their Meds. Lastly, it was stated that Patients Should ADMIT Cannabis usage in their lives to their primary care physician. Uhhhh NO. If a patient admits they smoke or eat Cannabis .... The licensed Physician is then MANDATED to report this Admission to local Authorities!!
(This Mandate would Not be required, in US States that have Legalized Cannabis at the Recreational level.)
I just wish the writer of today's segment would have not used the Inflammatory verbiage that Cannabis is POISION. And, also wish the writer had done their due diligence about admitting Cannabis usage to your physician. Which can lead to the patient being Arrested. Thank you for your valuable Time....
