advocates filed a petition with the DEA to lower the drug classification of marijuana from schedule I (the highest) to III, IV, or V. They finally got around to \u003ca href\u003d\"http://www.ofr.gov/(S(ztclq22gsjl5u42mfotcq3cv))/OFRUpload/OFRData/2011-16994_PI.pdf\"\u003eruling\u003c/a\u003e, and it isn't good. Flying in the face of extensive research to the contrary, the DEA  ruled about how you would expect from an organization whose very  existence hinges on marijuana's illegality.  Read on to find out something that will make you angry--if you didn't know about it already.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThe DEA ruled\u0026nbsp;“that marijuana has a high potential for abuse, has no accepted medical  use in the United States, and lacks an acceptable level of safety for  use even under medical supervision.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nAn acceptable level of safety?! What?! Even the most paranoid weed smokers I know can identify it's pretty safe, simply on the premise that paranoia breeds safety first behavior.

The symposium is sponsored in part by an array of pharmaceutical  companies, the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and ElSohly  Laboratories, Inc., the federal government’s only licensed source of  research-grade cannabis (marijuana) used in therapeutic studies.  Currently, several pharmaceutical companies are asking the government to  reschedule organically produced THC, the primary compound found in the  marijuana plant, so they can sell a generic version of Marinol, which is  now made synthetically.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e“The government cannot have it both ways, marijuana is either a medicine or it’s not,”\u003c/strong\u003e said ASA Executive Director Steph Sherer. “If the government is going  to sponsor a conference on medical marijuana, it should show the same  deference to the millions of patients across America who simply want  access to it.” ASA and its grassroots patient base has been urging  President Obama since he took office to develop a comprehensive federal  policy that would address medical marijuana as a public health issue.\u003c/blockquote\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nI'm writing about this late, but really, you've probably already heard, and the hypocrisy and corruption in the DEA, and the federal legislation in place makes me want to give Obama a slide-show presentation, and probably smack some of the conservatives that are legislating on this topic while their teenage kids are smoking herb on the regular, and other kids are dieing from speed production in the Midwest.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nA Zach De La Rocha KRS-One Black Emperor song comes to mind, which does a better job explaining why this pisses me and many others off.
