re: the war on drugs, continued. (DEA faces lawsuit for blocking cannabis research)
crazynutjob observes:
Wait. Read this bit:
“The DEA ruled in June that marijuana should remain classified as a dangerous drug like heroin because studies have not confirmed it’s medicinal value, but the agency may itself be to blame for the lack of evidence.”Like heroin? It is worth mentioning that no such blocking exists for heroin or cocaine. Morphine and Novocaine are derivatives of those two drugs (and there are others). There are no bans on poppyseed muffins because of the dangers of heroin, but growing cannabis plants is illegal. This makes the choice to single out Marijuana stand out even more.
vruz: must. keep. monopoly. very very very profitable.
