  1. Just remember that the ad showed a kid having his seizures removed for the first time in his life through medical weed, and they banned it, yet they spent 30 percent of commercial run time shoving ads of life ruining and deadly alcohol down our throats like it’s not big deal. That CEO looks like a real class act IMO sounds like a real good guy for protecting our children from the dangers of seeing pot save a child’s life

  2. Such a violent sport where its players are seriously injured yearly but they are more concerned of the possible gateway effects of medical marijuana. They should be more concerned about players being hooked on pain meds that medical practitioners prescribe to injured players.

  3. Falcons owner says the gateway drug affect???? Didn't that TE Nate Jackson just say that he was already prescribed vicodins right off the bat? And you want to talk about gateway drug when you are given pharmaceuticals and reversing to marijuanas. That is no gateway to me

  4. I hate when people still think it's a gateway drug. I know plenty of people…and myself included have smoked and never once thought about trying something more. It's not about that at all

  5. ‘Afraid of the gateway effect’ are you kidding me?!? Your prescribing opioid narcotics (the strongest drugs) and worried about the gateway effect of marijuana? Just shows old men stuck in their stupid ways.

  6. Marijuanas is the most dangerous drug out there. It kills hundreds of millions of people each year from overdosing. People lose their jobs and end up walking the streets homeless due to its highly additive factors.
