Real and Imaginary Dangers.

 A House of Lies--all to convict and collect money.

 by Dennis L. Blewitt

   I have followed the propaganda war on drugs for decades.  No matter what the doubts or what the science, the Government officials aren't going to let facts change their policies.  They want to continue the war against the people.  They want to increase the power of the police.  They want to shock and awe the public.  They will distort the truth and lie to perpetuate their power. 

   Recently the Colorado State forensics lab was forced to close because of prejudice and perjury of the State of Colorado's forensic chemist.  She had been lying for years, but no judge or prosecutor had the integrity to challenge her.  Even after her misconduct was known, the Attorney General tried to suppress the findings as long as possible.

  The following is research done by Dr. Jay Watterworth on the allegation of police seeing "green tongue" when stopping a suspect.  To date the manual has not been changed and our police continue to lie to get convictions.  Why not, the "observations" can't be duplicated.  The Courts have allowed this because they are part of the police state system.  Consider the harm placed on the citizens just to placate some vocal fear-mongers who have no concept of how the average citizen lives.

Dr. Watterworth;  I passed your question on to the individual who edited that portion of the monograph.  Below is their response.  At best I would say the information appears to be anecdotal.  I have some other feelers out as to the source of this “sign” and if I learn anything I’ll pass it on.  When the monographs are updated that will be removed if there is no better substantiation.  In my experience, the changes on the tongue in marijuana smokers, when they appear, are related to irritation from the heat of the smoke and is white or grey, with raised papillae, but it is not a consistent sign.

Hello Barry. The green coating on the tongue is one of those things that has been passed down through the years by various DRE instructors as a possible indicator of cannabis use. We addressed this in the DRE instructor manual by the listing following information in the Cannabis session: “Possible green coating on the tongue” under the list of possible indicators and added an instructor note that reads, “Point out that there are no known studies that confirm Marijuana causing a green coating on the tongue.”

 

I am sure Tom would agree with me in that we have to be very careful about using this as an indicator. That’s why we have listed this under “possible indicators” with an explanation for the instructors to clarify that there is no documented study to confirm this observation.

 Dear Dr Logan:

I am involved in a research project dealing with marijuana detection.  A paper that lists you as a lead author, “Drugs and Human Performance Fact Sheets,” published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration contains a statement that interests us. 

 

Today I spoke with the National Center for Statistics and Analysis of the NHTSA who suggested that I contact you as the lead author of the report.

 

In the section Cannabis/Marijuana, it is stated under “DEC Profile” that other characteristic indicators of marijuana use include a “green coating of tongue.”  I have searched the literature and have not had any success finding any studies or research that discuss or mention this observation.  I wonder if you could provide the source material that supports it?

 

If you are unable to provide me with such a reference, could you tell me who could provide it?

 

Thank you in advance for your time.

 

Jay Watterworth
