I just found out about this myself and I have to say I was horrified. Apparently they have known that pot can cure cancer since 1974 and it has been covered up. The only reasoning I have heard is that it would interfere with their prohibition. It sounds so far out that I had to research it myself before I would believe our government would murder people that way.

I have sat here all day and yesterday trying to come up with any possible justification for it and I can't.There is no negative effect from cannabis use that does more damage than cancer. This is totally inexcusable.

Is this the message we are sending our children? That it is better to follow the law and die a horrible death rather than to try to end one of the worst diseases of all time? What kind of "message" is that?

Then I sat there and watched John Walter on TV actually say with a straight face that cannabis isn't medication. I wanted to be sick.

Something needs to be done about this.
