Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy warned of “lazy” potheads during a segment on smoking marijuana.
During a Sunday Fox & Friends discussion about a Canadian study that linked marijuana use to schizophrenia, Duffy and Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier decried the “dangers of smoking.”
The segment echoed sentiments of the 1936 “Reefer Madness” film.
“Please don’t legalize,” Duffy said. “Please don’t allow, you know, your party to get behind legalization because it’s a gateway drug to other drugs.”
“I have also, like you have, been very cautious about legalization of marijuana because there are known risks with it,” Saphier agreed. “So it is very concerning when it comes to people using this a lot more and you’re seeing rising levels of THC over the years in marijuana that people are using.”
“Well, let me tell you, not everything that is natural is good for you,” she continued. “Other herbs that I like that are natural that can help with relaxation and some of those are like lavender, chamomile, low-dose kava kava.”
“I have been a lot concerned about its normalization, and you and I know, I mean, let’s just be honest, we’re moms,” Duffy agreed. “We knew those potheads in high school. They’re lazy. Why would we want to normalize this when we see the effects on that.”
