The problem in the U.S., he says, is not the proliferation and availability of guns, but rather the fact that many of the perpetrators of such shootings come from troubled families in which they were mistreated during their childhood. "Most of these mass killers had early traumas, in the first few years of life," he says, adding that the "divided culture" that exists today serves to compound those problems, "When you have a divided culture in which the liberals and conservatives are always fighting, everyone suffers too, because there's constant restlessness," Dr. Schoenewolf says on the podcast. "In the country and all kinds of other things that are happening and more violence is happening all the time. People get angry because they're driving on the highway and they lose it, and they start killing each other because they're following too close behind the other car. Somebody goes up to a door and knocks at the wrong door, and they get shot through the door. People are restless today and quick to violence." Dr. Schoenewolf points out that a barber needs a license to cut hair and if you want to go fishing, you need a fishing license. But there are no such requirements for one of the most complicated acts that an individual can undergo -- raising children. "iI parents had to be licensed, you'd have, you'd be able to weed out, say, schizophrenic parents or borderlines, or bipolars, psychopaths. You'd be able to weed out parents who are not going to be able to have healthy children. And you'd, and you also could have parent training," he says. So the government would decide who could and could not have children? "I think the state would have to have special centers for child rearing where children who were taken away from their parents would be raised by experts who would be trained in how to raise children," he explains. "These are radical solutions, but we have a radical situation in our country. Desperate times call for desperate measures," says Dr. Schoenewolf, who is the author of 30 books, including 14 on psychology and philosophy and nine novels.

Jamaica plans to lobby the U.S. government to allow federally regulated banks to handle money generated by the marijuana industry. American banks are banned from accepting any money that comes from “criminal activity” under federal law. While cannabis is legal in many states for recreational or medicinal purposes, or both, it remains illegal at the federal level. Any banks accepting business from cannabis retailers will be unable to receive federal deposit insurance, so they generally give the industry a wide berth. This has caused a major headache for cannabis producers across the U.S., as it forces them to deal mainly in cash. This puts staff and customers at risk of violent crime and it also leads to states like California and Colorado missing out on revenue from taxes. It has also had a significant knock-on effect in other countries. Jamaican banks have corresponding banks in the U.S., which are federally regulated, and they would end the agreement if the Jamaican bank is engaged in any activity that is illegal under U.S. federal law, and that naturally includes selling cannabis. Jamaica has been reluctant to roll out a regulated export market, as it does not want to upset the U.S. government, which it relies on for trade and tourism. Yet tentative steps have begun and Jamaican firms have signed a few low-key contracts to supply Canadian producers. Now Jamaica plans to become more assertive. Audley Shaw, Minister of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries, said the Jamaican government will use all of its diplomatic channels to petition the U.S. Treasury Department to loosen financial laws and permit banks to work with the cannabis industry, which is becoming increasingly prevalent and powerful across the globe and in America. Attorneys General from 33 states wrote to Congress last month to urge it to approve a proposal that would open the doors of the U.S. banking system to the legal marijuana industry. “This is simple: not incorporating an $8.3 billion industry into our banking system is hurting our public safety and economy,” said California Attorney General Xavier Becerra. Shaw said he stands in full solidarity with Becerra and his peers, as the rules have prevented Jamaica from creating a lucrative medical cannabis industry. He fears it will be left behind by rivals, as the likes of Colombia, Israel, and Portugal are motoring ahead with major cultivation projects. Read the full article
