Opinion: Does the cannabis industry have a double standard with science?

The gateway theory is not necessarily a concept that ensures a person who uses weed today will shoot heroin tomorrow.

The cannabis industry seems to be moving across the U.S. with the power of a Mack Truck screaming down the highway with a sign on the back that reads, “red-eye express.”

The business of growing and selling weed has matured into a multi-billion-dollar operation, despite the lack of support from the federal government and the fact that about 70 per cent of those surveyed think the business should be taxed and regulated like alcohol and tobacco.
