In California Cannibas is on the cusp or becoming something really good and fine, the politicians who in the 1930's worked against the people and banned Cannabis for the drug companies and the large newspapers of the time so that they could make money and you could die have been replaced by the same type of breed in this year of 2016. 25% in new taxes on top of the misery cancer and other afflictions medical patients already have, this is what the Democrats in Sacramento are proposing. More police, more prisons, more guards unions, more waste, more graft, higher pensions, these people are retiring with $100,000 or more pensions, they have made their positions of trust a cash cow so that they can wear $5,000 suits and wear Rolex's. All tax money derived from Cannabis should go to the research that has been suppressed by politicians for the money given them by the Pharmaceutical companies and the Prison Unions that keep them in office. Here is a story of one man with cancer and how he fought it and won years from death. See URL below.

"The “Official” Stance on Marijuana for Cancer

Although cannabis oil and other marijuana plant derivatives have been used for centuries as an alternative treatment for a variety of ailments, including cancer, the US Drug Enforcement Administration still lists marijuana and its cannabinoids (biologically active ingredients) as Schedule I controlled substances.

Even so, 24 states and the District of Columbia have now approved the use of marijuana derivatives to treat some medical conditions. Another 16 states have laws regarding one of the primary bioactive ingredients called cannabidiol (CBD). The Ashcrafts are able to obtain their cannabis oil, which contains a mixture of both CBD and another active ingredient called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), through California’s Medical Marijuana Program.

For its part, the American Cancer Society acknowledges that a number of laboratory and animal studies have suggested that THC and CBD can “slow growth or cause death” in some types of cancer. But the closest they come to an endorsement is simply a call for more research.

According to the ACS website, “The American Cancer Society supports the need for more scientific research on cannabinoids for cancer patients, and recognizes the need for better and more effective therapies that can overcome the often debilitating side effects of cancer and its treatment. The Society also believes that the classification of marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance by the US Drug Enforcement Administration imposes numerous conditions on researchers and deters scientific study of cannabinoids.”

But Paul Armentano, Deputy Director of NORML, an organization whose aim is to reform marijuana laws, says the ACS must also shoulder some blame for the lack of research to-date. “As the largest non-governmental funder of cancer research in the US, the ACS is equally complicit in failing to promote any legitimate scientific inquiries into the cannabis plant,” says Armentano."

All tax money derived from the sale of Cannabis should be for the medical research of the plant, a maximum of 5% of the tax proceeds should be held for administrative cost, yearly public audits to be made for compliance.
