Bishop Ron Allen: Medical Use Of Marijuana Creates ‘Criminal Minds’ In Poor People
International Faith Based Coalition President Bishop Ron Allen asserted to Fox News on Thursday that there was no difference between marijuana and heroin, and using it for medical purposes would create “criminal minds” in poor people. Over the summer, the city of Berkeley passed a resolution requiring medical marijuana dispensaries to provide at least 2 percent of their product to poor residents.
“There are some truly compassionate cases that need to have medical marijuana,” Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates explained. “But it’s expensive. You hear stories about people dying from cancer who don’t have the money.” On Thursday’s edition of Fox & Friends, Allen, who is a former drug addict, said that the entire city council should be recalled for the decision.
“I think it’s ludicrous over-the-top madness,” he insisted to Fox News host Brian Kilmeade. “Why would Berkeley City Council want to keep their poverty-stricken underserved high, in poverty and lethargic. It’s absolutely mind boggling, and absolutely ridiculous for Berkeley City Council to make such a suggestion, and then to put this in motion.” http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/09/04/fox-news-guest-medical-use-of-marijuana-creates-criminal-minds-in-poor-people/
