Medical Doctor from Peoria Opposes Legal Pot

Many people advocate for the legalization of marijuana from a position of bias, but Dr. Raymond Bertino opposes legalization on the basis of truth – medical facts and economics realities that expose the lies of recreational pot proponents.

In a January 2019 town hall forum hosted by Illinois State Representative Marty Moylan (D-Des Plaines), Dr. Bertino outlines the grim future that lies ahead for the largest group of marijuana users, young adults aged 18 to 25. He presents data that proves frequent marijuana use causes physical damage in critical brain development, which in turn leads to an alarming trend of “failure to launch” in this vulnerable age group.
