What's Wrong with Marijuana?
Millions of Americans believe marijuana relieves pain, reduces anxiety, improves your mood, and has no side effects. Are they right? Dr. Drew Pinsky, physician, addiction medicine specialist, and media personality, answers this question.

Script:
Here’s a medical miracle for you: a drug that relieves pain, reduces anxiety, improves your mood, and has no side effects.
Too good to be true? Well, millions of Americans believe that drug is marijuana.
Are they right?
I’m a physician, board-certified internist, and addiction medicine specialist. I’ve treated thousands of people whose addictions to opiates, alcohol, and other drugs were wrecking their relationships, their careers, and their lives. And I’m telling you marijuana can be both harmful and addictive, just like many other substances.
What I’ve seen firsthand for twenty years is now becoming obvious to other doctors and researchers: increased use of marijuana is leading to increased psychosis, bipolar mania, and even spontaneous vomiting, especially in adolescents and young adults. The younger the user, the less developed their brain, the more harmful the drug.
I hate to burst your bubble, but that is the science.
A 2022 Gallup survey found 30% of Americans between 18 and 34 use marijuana. When scientists at the University of Michigan asked young adults between 19 and 30 if they’d used it within the past month, 29% said yes in 2021, compared to 21% in 2016 and 17% in 2011.
Daily marijuana use across all ages nearly doubled from 6% in 2011 to 11% in 2021. That translates into over 13 million Americans, compared with 5 million in the decade before.
There is no such thing as a “bad” drug. They are just molecules that affect the human physiology. Most Americans use some form of a recreational substance. But ignoring or denying potential adverse effects creates the potential for serious harm. There is no free lunch with mother nature so there are always side effects. My goal here is not to shame or scare anyone, but to raise awareness so you can make informed decisions.
Speaking of that, keep in mind that marijuana has gone corporate. According to Forbes, legal marijuana is now a 20 billion dollar industry and growing. There’s a lot of vested interest in making sure you don’t hear the bad news.
But there are risks. And the more you use, and the higher the concentrations, the more the risk.
Of course, most people who use marijuana won’t have a psychotic break, develop bipolar disorder, or become schizophrenic—just as most people who drink don’t develop alcoholic liver disease or alcohol dementia.
Some individuals—and not a small number—will have a significant reaction to marijuana. And there is no way to know in advance. You won’t know until it happens. And then it might be too late.
It wasn’t always like this. The marijuana people use today is not the weed of my generation. It hasn’t been for at least two decades.
What changed?
The answer is found in three letters: THC
THC or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main psychoactive—or mind-altering—component of cannabis; it’s what gets you high.

Does America First Mean America Only? — Ep. 317 Fireside Chat
Watch the full episode: https://l.prageru.com/3sWEbZO
As wars in Israel and Ukraine rage on, some Americans are advocating that we take care of our own problems before involving ourselves in foreign affairs. However, if we hold ourselves to that standard, we will never help any other country because there will always be problems at home. Is that really how America should lead the world?

Rutherford B. Hayes: The Most Disputed President
The election of Rutherford B. Hayes remains the single most disputed presidential outcome in American history—even more than the elections of the 21st century. What happened, and what were the consequences?
SUBSCRIBE 👉 https://www.prageru.com/join
Script:
On election night 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes, the Republican candidate for president, went to bed firmly convinced he had lost.
Four months later, he walked into the White House as the 19th president of the United States. His ultimate victory remains the single most disputed presidential outcome in American history–more than Bush v. Gore in 2000, more than Trump v. Biden in 2020.
Hayes, the youngest of five children, was born on October 4, 1822, in a small town near Columbus, Ohio. His father had died two months earlier. His bachelor uncle, Sardis Birchard, a businessman and banker, became his guardian and surrogate father.
Like so many young Americans of his day, “Rud,” as he was called, was imbued with a tireless work ethic. He was a conscientious student, graduating from Kenyon College in Ohio in 1842 at the top of his class. Thanks to his uncle’s generosity, he graduated from Harvard Law School, where he also excelled.
By 1849, Hayes had started a successful law practice in the rapidly growing city of Cincinnati. Strongly opposed to slavery, he defended many runaway slaves in court.
When the Civil War broke out, Hayes was nearly 40, married, a father of three with a fourth on the way, and a leading figure in southern Ohio. He had everything to lose and nothing to gain by volunteering for the Union cause. But he did so anyway.
His leadership qualities were immediately recognized by his superiors and the soldiers under his command.
Hayes saw action at the Battles of Antietam, Winchester, and Cedar Creek, among others. Badly wounded in the first of those battles, he stayed on the field issuing orders. Had his men not carried him to safety, he would have died.
Entering the war without any military experience, he left it as a general. He also left it as a member of Congress, being elected by his fellow Ohioans in 1864.
In 1867, he resigned his congressional seat to run for governor of Ohio, his status as a war hero helping him carry the day.
After taking office in 1868, he pushed hard for black voting rights, first in his home state and then nationally by supporting the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment. A popular governor, he was elected to two more terms.
With the 1876 election looming and the Grant Administration mired in financial scandals, the party needed a candidate free of any taint of corruption–and Hayes fit the bill.
But the election was an uphill battle.
First, Hayes faced a formidable opponent, the Democratic governor of New York, Samuel Tilden.
Second, the Republican Party had been losing votes in the South because the Democrats were making it increasingly difficult for blacks to vote.
The election indeed turned out to be a photo finish. The New York Times reported that Tilden had won 184 electoral votes–just one vote short of victory–while Hayes captured 181. The wildcards were South Carolina, Louisiana, and… Florida.
Sound familiar?
A stalemate ensued, with each side bitterly accusing the other of cheating. Without any precedent or guidance from the Constitution, Congress set up a commission to settle the issue.
Finally, in February 1877, after some of the nastiest mudslinging in American history, the commission decided for Hayes. Congress ratified the decision on March 2. But many Democrats never accepted the result as legitimate, and perpetually referred to Hayes as “Rutherfraud.”
