Coming out of hibernation for a THREAD on some reefer madness bullshit from the @ProJo LTE section. Who the eff is Joseph Santos & why do I care what he thinks? Sad part is, legislators will actually base policy on malarkey like this—-
Not surprised: @projo has run an LTE fm Joseph Santos of #PawtucketRI that is so full of falsehoods & ancient traditions of “reefer madness” that I just HAD 2 address it here. This is the LTE in question in photo-form, if u can’t make it past the paywall. https://t.co/gK2JbkuQjb

21/ For today, I need you to pressure @Fundly to cancel Tiny Toese's fundraiser to attend the Providence rally.
Tiny is using the money to come to Providence specifically to attack protesters.

It’s not surprising that an anti-cannabis publication like @ProJo publishes such baseless reefer madness rhetoric. However, fact checks shld accompany these blatant lies & mistruths fm Mr. Santos. When it comes 2 policy & science, listen 2 pros— not fearmongerers like Santos.

This is further supported by points raised by @RegulateRI— Regulation LOWERS teen usage. Think of it this way: drug dealers have NO VESTED INTEREST in IDing their customers. Regulated biz owners MUST ID or else lose their license & livelihood. https://t.co/h8mtpitLL6
“@USRepKeating, who plans 2 reintroduce the bill, said it met internal resistance fm (D) lawmakers, incl. @SenJackReed & @SenWhitehouse. RI delegation quietly opposed the bill in an apparent effort 2 protect state’s casino interests.” https://t.co/spGKoeel7o

This is Nicholas Mattiello. He actively works to subvert democracy against the will of the Rhode Island people. It is important to understand that even in a "blue" state like ours, reactionaries still wield power to achieve their far right goals.
