US Drug Czar: Raw Marijuana isn't Medicine!
The US Drug Czar, Gil Kerlikowske, contradicted himself in statements made about medical use of marijuana. On the one hand he states "the raw marijuana plant isn’t medicine", then goes on to say "we don’t vote on medicines and medical science should answer the effectiveness of what works."
So the question arises, if medical science should decide what is and what isn't medicine, then how can Mr. Kerlikowske state emphatically that "raw marijuana isn't medicine", when numerous studies, some of them Federal, have said just the opposite?
And if raw marijuana isn't medicine why does the Federal government supply exactly that to a handful of medical patients for the past few decades?
Doesn't the Obama Administration know hypocrisy when they spew it?
By stating both cases, one that raw marijuana isn't medicine and two that scientists should make that determination, he enables the DEA to continue busting medical marijuana grows while at the same time distancing himself (and Obama) from the debate.
Make up your mind Drug Czar!!! Look at what is happening in the UK! The UK Drug Czar was just fired over this issue, because he told the truth that cannabis is safer than either tobacco or alcohol. There is a revolt among scientists who say that the marijuana debate has been totally politicized and scientific evidence is being ignored. The US Drug Czar's statements prove it!

It should be pretty obvious by now. Governments don't want people to use weed. They are willing to lie, contradict the findings of scientists, and social experts. The only relevant question now is why. Is it to feed the prison system with plenty of non-violent "offenders"? Is it to justify their international police forces? Why? Who is benefiting by maintaining the status quo?
Once that question is answered the next question becomes: What are we going to do about it? I think it's becoming crystal clear that they're fucking with us. We deserve better.

the same way opium poppys aren't medicinal. well, they are medicinal, the govt just doesn't want you growing and supplying yourself. they want to be part of the racket. so they get their friends who own gian multinational pharmaceutical companies to syntesize, patent, and then charge exorbitant prices on the new product.
one ground up poppy pod will knock you out and help you sleep like Nyquil and kill your cough. it's addictive and illegal though.
obviously, they are scrambing to figure out who is going to grow and supply after they repeal PROHIBITION. they are buying time so the companies get ready to ROLL OUT day 1 of repeal of prohibition.

Actually he was fired for what he said. His boss didn't like the science aspect, just the political one. |

Governments and Corpo-Nazis don't want folks smokin' dope and dropping psychedelics because folks who do tend to notice a lot more just how badly said governments and Corpo-Nazis are fucking us raw and robbing us blind.

Raw marijuana... you know, as opposed to the kind we cut with baking soda.

If they cant make money off of it or get votes from it they just want to leave it the way it its until they can. They don't represent us, they make money off of us. I'm tired of this. Is there some place I can live and not have to deal with corrupt government bullshit?

Raw marijuana isn't medicine....you have to synthesize it and put it in a pill first  . |

A natural plant cannot be patented; therefore it cannot be medicine. It could only be medicine if big pharma owns a patent.

But natural plants and extracts in pill form are sold at every store in the world. They're called herbal supplements.
Honestly I'd be happy if cannabis had that label and could be sold next to the St. John's Wort at Target.

good...that means rather than growing ounces, then we should be growing POUNDS to produce hash and other processed forms...
I like this comment in reality. Gives a valid excuse to those facing federal prosecution as to the logic behind the numbers...it is now a valid and pliable defense...hahaha.
Talk about foot in mouth...bet he didn't think of that.

I think it lies in the metaphysical realm...if you become totaly aware the demiurge/creator loses control over reality... |

To me, this sounds like he's saying that only the processed forms of cannabis, inevitably to be made available by all major pharms companies, will be considered medicine, while the "raw" plant will be considered an illegal drug.
I'd expect various statements to come from the DEA saying that pharms companies remove the "addictive" and "dangerous" elements of the plants (which they'll probably try to link to cancer) making it a clean and healthy medicine - whereas those who take the raw drug will go all Reefer Madness.
The brainwashing continues - and I'll bet this guy got a LARGE payout from big pharms to say it.
