quote:

The Drug Enforcement Agency will announce Thursday that marijuana will remain a schedule 1 drug, which declares it has "no medical use or purpose," according to a U.S. official familiar with the decision.

The announcement is in response to recent petitions asking the agency to reconsider this designation for the benefit of such research. The DEA will allow more researchers access to the plant in an effort to encourage more study, the source. said.

Since 1968 the University of Mississippi has held the only license issued by the DEA to grow marijuana for research, which is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Now more universities will be permitted to grow the plant for research.

A steady course in the DEA's consistent history of being anti-fun.

Don't worry, your doctor will be happy to prescribe you addictive narcotics that were cooked up in a lab.

That's a BIG agency that now has to justify its size and existence.

Going to be baby steps to get from Reefer Madness to pot being sold like beer.


ETA I just got finished taking a yearly hospital proficiency course. One areas covered was pain management. Questions CORRECT answer about opioid abuse was essentially "opioid abuse and dependence is rare ( <5% occurrence) when used to manage chronic pain".

Weed is bad... Opium is good.

This is after major crackdowns on prescribing of MDs and use of narcotics.

I mean, what is the point really?

There are proven medicinal and psychological uses for the first 2.

Decriminalize and legalize them and use the available funds to treat and combat opiate addiction.

Not that hard to figure out.

This post seems to indicate that marijuana is a significant danger to society. The most dangerous part of marijuana is the illicit market created by its prohibition.
