Related: About this forumFive More Marijuana Studies Debunk Carly Fiorina’s Ignorant Reefer Madness Mindset
It is astonishing that in the 21st Century, the so-called information age, there are so many Americans who are woefully ignorant about nearly everything. Included in that monumentally large group of stupid are conservatives, particularly those Republican conservatives who still base their policies and agendas on information that is patently false or guaranteed to fail. One failed CEO seeking the Republican presidential nomination, Carly Fiorina, revealed why her tenure at Hewlett Packard was a colossal fail. One wonders if Fiorina attempted to head a leading technology company with information based on manual typewriters and a mindset demanding that employees use handwritten index cards as a means of keeping mountains of information and technological data. One thing is certain, if Fiorinas knowledge, or lack thereof, of the tremendous medical advances and research verifying the many, many medical benefits of cannabis is anything like her knowledge of running a giant tech business, it is no wonder she is an epic failure.
Fiorina revealed her outdated reefer madness knowledge during a tense interchange with Shelly Van Winkle, a veteran of the Gulf War and the first and only certified cannabis nurse in Iowa. Van Winkle attended a voter forum at St. Ambrose University in Iowa last week, and as an advocate for Veterans asked Fiorina what she would do to make it easier for patients like veterans with PTSD, and children with cancer to access medicinal marijuana. Fiorina responded by saying Youre not going to like my answer, but she failed to add that her answer was based on lies and reefer madness ignorance which obviously would not have made her answer any more palatable.
Fiorinas response related to her breast cancer diagnosis in 2009 when her doctor asked if I was interested in medicinal marijuana. I said No, and he said, Good, because its a chemically complex compound that we do not understand we do not understand how it reacts with chemotherapy. It is true today that before you get chemotherapy you cannot have any marijuana in your system for at least 30 days. It was the wrong lie to tell a certified cannabis nurse or any semi-intelligent 21st Century American who gets their news from everywhere except Fox News, law enforcement, the pharmaceutical industry or reefer madness malcontents.

(80,708 posts)1. Fiorina sure likes to lie, doesn't she?
Apparently someone in her campaign has decided that lying and then doubling down on the lies is a winning strategy.

Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)3. yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Also: "we lost a daughter to addiction"- her stepdaughter died from alcoholism and prescription drug addiction, which is terrible, but has absolutely jack diddly shit to do with marijuana, medical or otherwise.
It would be more relevant if we were discussing bringing back the 18th Amendment, than it is to the question of pot legalization.
But expect her to keep bringing that up, in the context of this discussion.

This further shores up my theory that a lot of CEOs are overpaid worthless sociopathic tools.
Tired of sharing the world with idiots and charlatans!
