I meant to include big pharm and campaign donations. I think this is an excellent point. Really probably better or as good as any that I listed. Whether the WOD is right or wrong there is little doubt it is perpetuated by this.

The Health and Welfare committee, Louisiana Sheriff's Association, and the DA already know that the FDA will NOT fund any research for the medical benefits of cannabis as long as it is listed as a Schedule 1 drug by the DOJ, along with heroin and meth. Schedule 1 drugs are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. No one has EVER died from a cannabis overdose. Many independent studies have already shown that cannabis is NOT addictive and has many medical benefits. But don't let facts get in the way of keeping the DEA dollars flowing into the coffers of law enforcement at the expense of arresting people for a harmless offense.....and don't forget about the money from the private prison industry and the money and property seized through asset forfeiture laws. These people will lie until they die to keep that cash cow alive.
