DEA Head: Marijuana Is Medical

The Head of the DEA Chuck Rosenberg says that marijuana is medical. Well not exactly. Here is what he actually said:

Rosenberg also expressed opposition to the marijuana legalization movement in the country, and frustration with efforts to legalize the drug based on highlighting its medicinal properties.

“What really bothers me is the notion that marijuana is also medicinal, because it’s not,” he said, noting however that elements of the plant have promise for medicinal uses.

So can you get those “elements” without growing the whole plant? I don’t think so.

    Rosenberg’s comment is an important salvo in big pharma’s war to monopolize medicinal marijuana, and turn a cheap important medicine that is a threat to them into an expensive one.

    Let’s tamp down the culture war by having let and let live prevail unless the rights of others are being violated.
