Good video!

Sorry to hear that Lyle C. dropped his petition to grow cannabis.

I like Paul Armentano's analogy that the DEA would allow vitamin C to be legal but prohibiting and incarcerating people who possess an orange.

Below is a excerpt from NIDA NIDA InfoFacts: Marijuana dated 11/2010. This means that three federal agencies acknowledge that now marijuana is medicine.

Is Marijuana Medicine?

The potential medicinal properties of marijuana have been the subject of substantive research and heated debate. Scientists have confirmed that the cannabis plant contains active ingredients with therapeutic potential for relieving pain, controlling nausea, stimulating appetite, and decreasing ocular pressure. Cannabinoid-based medications include synthetic compounds, such as dronabinol (Marinol®) and nabilone (Cesamet®), which are FDA approved, and a new, chemically pure mixture of plant-derived THC and cannabidiol called Sativex®, formulated as a mouth spray and approved in Canada and parts of Europe for the relief of cancer-associated pain and spasticity and neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis.

Scientists continue to investigate the medicinal properties of THC and other cannabinoids to better evaluate and harness their ability to help patients suffering from a broad range of conditions, while avoiding the adverse effects of smoked marijuana.
