Looks like the DEA is getting ready to show the states who is in charge when it comes to medical marijuana use.

U.S. decrees that marijuana has no accepted medical use


Marijuana has been approved by California, many other states and the nation's capital to treat a range of illnesses, but in a decision announced Friday the federal government ruled that it has no accepted medical use and should remain classified as a highly dangerous drug like heroin.

The decision comes almost nine years after medical marijuana supporters asked the government to reclassify cannabis to take into account a growing body of worldwide research that shows its effectiveness in treating certain diseases, such as glaucoma and multiple sclerosis.

Joe Elford, the chief counsel for Americans for Safe Access, said he was not surprised by the decision, which comes after the Obama administration announced it would not tolerate large-scale commercial marijuana cultivation. "It is clearly motivated by a political decision that is anti-marijuana," he said. He noted that studies demonstrate pot has beneficial effects, including appetite stimulation for people undergoing chemotherapy. "One of the things people say about marijuana is that it gives you the munchies and the truth is that it does, and for some people that's a very positive thing."

I think Obama and the DEA is doing this to wrest control of marijuana back from the states who have legalized it for medical use under their Constitutionally granted states rights, back to the un-Constitutional federal Drug Enforcement Administration. They fear that more and more states will start exercising their Constitutional rights, thereby stripping those un-Constitutionally seized powers from the federal government.

Because TPTB cannot tax this plant ,and their interest in the big multi billion dollar pharma companies ,they will always find a way to keep the positive medical use of the drug away from us. Check out the story linked below. It is first hand experiences from medical hemp users.


After a serious head injury in 1997, Rick Simpson sought relief from his medical condition through the use of medicinal hemp oil. When Rick discovered that the oil (with its high concentration of THC) cured cancers and other illnesses, he tried to share it with as many people as he could free of charge -- curing and controlling literally hundreds of people's illnesses.

"U.S. DEA Decrees That Marijuana Has No Accepted Medical Use"

while GW sells a product any skilled housewife can make at an obscene profit with a blessing. If folks can not see the conspiracy going down here it seems crazy. they increase their pressure on legal state law while promoting a dual agenda at the federal level it seems insanity

The DEA is looking out for their own jobs/interest. If it were made legal they'd out of so many jobs. Anyone who disputes cannabis's medicinal benefits is out of touch of reality.

Totally disgusting. If anyone who support this crap would have family suffering from cancer, they would change their tunes real freaking fast.

I hope Obama and all the scum in congress, the FBI, the FDA and at the DEA who support this crap gets non-curable cancer... they deserve it.
