Marijuana, according to the Government, has NO medical value.!
So that means that ANY ONE who is growing, is committing a crime. Right? Then why does the FEDERAL Government get away with growing it and giving it out as MEDICATION? Also, we have fourteen states that have doctors that allow people to use this, under STATE LAW for medication.
Also, Drobanitol
-generic Marinol
(the marijuana pill) that only has THC - the drug that gets you 'high' and
the one the Government says has NO medial value, costs the State of
Washington - and the tax payers, $1,724.00 per month for ninety 10mg pills
and have it placed as a Schedule 3 Drug. Whereas Cannabis (marijuana) which
is naturally grown, not synthesized, is places at Schedule 1, saying it has
NO MEDICAL Value, whereas it is actually better than the synthetic,
expensive pill.
Now for Marijuana to be a Level 1 drug it MUST meet the items listed below;
21 USC Sec. 812 01/22/02 -EXPCITE-
TITLE 21 - FOOD AND DRUGS CHAPTER 13 - DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION AND CONTROL
SUBCHAPTER I - CONTROL AND
ENFORCEMENT Part B - Authority To Control; Standards and Schedules.
-HEAD-
Sec. 812. Schedules of controlled substances -STATUTE-
(a) Establishment There are established five schedules of controlled
substances, to be known as schedules I, II, III, IV, and V. Such schedules
shall initially consist of the substances listed in this section. The
schedules established by this section shall be updated and republished on a
semiannual basis during the two-year period beginning one year after October
27, 1970, and shall be updated and republished on an annual basis
thereafter.
(b) Placement on schedules; findings required Except where control is
required by United States obligations under an international treaty,
convention, or protocol, in effect on October 27, 1970, and except in the
case of an immediate precursor, a drug or other substance may not be placed
in any schedule unless the findings required for such schedule are made with
respect to such drug or other substance. The findings required for each of
the schedules are as follows:
(1) Schedule I. -
(A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
(B) The drug or other substance has no currently accepted
medical use in treatment in the United States.
(C) There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug
or other substance under medical supervision.
You note the two MAIN area's of this?
(B) The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in
treatment in the United States.
(C) There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.
If ( C ) were the case we would not have marijuana pills with 100 % THC in
them and we would not have 14 states with Doctors who want this to be used
thus also violating part ( B )
Now for those in Office, Are you ready to answer why you are allowing a violation of the drug act by allowing this to stay a level 1 drug? IF you are then you will be blacklisted on my show.
Under Sub-Section ( B) here are the people backing the use of Marijuana for it's Medical Value;
Officials from the Iowa Board of Pharmacy voted
unanimously to recommend that the state
Legislature legalize the use of medical marijuana on Wednesday.
The proposal would reduce marijuana from a Schedule I controlled substance
to a
Schedule II, classifying the drug as presenting the potential for abuse but
also having acceptable medical uses.
