Robert M. Califf, Obamas pick to head the FDA, has had a block put on him by Senators Sanders, Markey & Murkowski. the article in "Culture" magazine from August 19th (by B. M. Adams) explains how Califf has earned the wrath of the Senators (AND the rest of the nation, if they gave a SINGLE fuck!). his ties to big pharma & utter disdain for the citizens of this country disqualify him from ANY serious consideration for ANY job in the public spectrum. we need someone over the FDA that is working FOR us, rather than the bottom line of an industry that is willing to subject children to narcotics proven to kill, but unwilling to allow adults options that do not generate money for drug companies that already print their own money using our blood as ink...JMHO

That was a good catch, "his ties to big pharma & utter disdain for the citizens of this country disqualify him from ANY serious consideration for ANY job in the public spectrum." Would be nice to know what pharmaceutical companies were in back of his nomination and how much the bribe, the lame duck administration is trying to leave someone that would NEVER hurt thier masters the drug companies. If both Trump and Hillary came out about rescheduling the herb it would be a plus in votes for either one from a grateful cannabis herb community.

Go Bernie.

Rescheduling does absolutely no good. De-scheduling is what the herb demands.

"De-scheduling is what the herb demands" is of course what should happen but first keep those that want de-scheduling out of jail. Reclassify the herb as something benign so that the young of this country don't get incarcerated for something that even our President and daughter is known to vape the herb for health. Maybe now that the President knows that Maula has joined the "Schroom Gang", maybe he'll be a little more reasonable and do one of those famous "Executive Orders".

Nothing would stop the rich from owning most of the Cannabis industry without regulations making profits difficult to achieve. For instance, you can't buy alcohol for pain relief. You can just buy alcohol.

I suspect this is cultural, and the objections probably don't have as much to do with money as is commonly thought.

Jump/ Jack is right. If you want state rec, rescheduling is the only way that will work without changing the CSA to something entirely different than what it is...though it would make any medical claim illegal.

My god, I thought you were talking about Trump until I looked at the date.
