Thanks AIR for bringing the truth out about the many healthful attributes of Cannabis . I firmly believe that our government wants marijuana kept as a schedule 1 drug and wants to supress any good that comes from the cannabis plant. Our federal government has continud to stand against the will of the people concering the use of marijuana, and for what? Why does the federal government want cannabis kept illegal? There are as many speculations on this point as there are different strains of cannabis. The most common belief as to why the U.S. wants cannabis kept illegal is money. NOT for health reasons, NOT for a better world for our children, and certainly NOT for better healthcare. Ever since the DEA's Administrative Law Judge Francis L. Young stated in 1986 that, "Marijuana, in its naturally form, is one of the safest most theraputically active substances known. It would be arbitrary, unreasonable and capricious for the DEA to coninue to stand between those sufferer's and the benefits of the substance" the DEA has continued to lie and propagandize the dangers of marijuana even more. They even went to the U.S. Supreme Court to prove that the DEA does not have to follow the advice of the ALJ. What kind of sense is this? It is very clear that the U.S. Government wants cannabis out of the medical scene for all the wrong reasons. Please add your thoughts as to why you think the U.S. Government is anti-marijuana. I, and millions of other people, are being denied, or sent to prison for using the only medicine that helps fight off our pain, nausea, etc. Again why do you think the U.S. Government wants Marijuana kept illegle?
