The media get's it's money from pharmaceutical companies for posting stories llike that. Money talks and everyone listens.
If as much money was put toward the legalization of weed as there is from the pharmaceutical companies to keep it illegal, we would not have these problems.
They can't control it, they do not want it out there.
If it were Mcniel or Glaxo-Smith-Kline growing and supplying the world with weed, it would be legal. That you can count on.
It is just like the oil companies killing the fully electric car, they were threatened and murdered a complete car design that was good for the enviroment and people wanted.
