cannot BELIEVE the hypocrisy of allowing synthetic THC to be rescheduled while the natural plant from which it derives remains schedule I - this makes so little sense you have to wonder if Newt (I committed adultery because I love my country) is writing drug policy.

that decision is clearly a way to make it possible for drug companies to profit because the DEA now recognizes cannabis has medicinal value.

what a pack of fucking liars - they discredit themselves with every move they make to continue the stupid prohibition of cannabis and any American with a lick of sense sees this - they undermine anything they say - who should believe anything from an agency that is clearly writing policy to benefit drug manufacturers at the expense of ordinary citizens?!?!?!?

I'm surprised we're still allowed to grow willow trees since pharma cos make aspirin...

and, in the midst of all this, a medical researcher at a major university has given up his request to be allowed to grow cannabis to do research into medical properties b/c the DEA continues to refuse a license.

we need better govt than the BULLSHIT we are getting from the corporate pols in this nation - and that includes the one occupying the oval office.

people are sick of govt for the corporations, by the corporations.
