Here are
CNN's Special Reports
by
Dr. Sanjay Gupta showing the clear proven medical benefits of high
CBD marijuana and why marijuana should not be classified as a Schedule 1
Controlled Substance by the U.S. Federal Government.
Marijuana
should be immediately rescheduled to Schedule 3.
Marijuana is less
harmful than heroin, cocaine and crystal meth, with accepted medical
uses in the United States, moderate potential for physical dependency in
some populations and high potential for psychological dependency in
some populations.
Given the need for establishing a consensus
with social conservatives, Schedule 3 is the most conservative
scheduling that is honest and truthful for now, although we may choose
to revisit this issue again at a later date after the science is in and
we know more about the issues of dependency from a large scale
scientific perspective. We need to do this now on a bipartisan basis.
It's about openness and transparency in government. We need to be told
the truth and not be lied to by our government. Schedule 1 is official
state propaganda hard coded into the law of the land. It's insane.
Both
Congress and the executive branch (e.g., U.S. Attorney General) have
the authority to reschedule marijuana. It can be an Act of Congress or
an act of an official in the executive branch.
Here's a simple and easy-to-understand discussion about rescheduling marijuana on The Huffington Post:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-w...
Drug scheduling is a multiple choice with five options.The question is,
"Which schedule most
correctly and accurately and truthfully describes
marijuana according to all available scientific evidence and medical
research?" Some answers are more correct and truthful than others, as
can be attested to by scientists, academics, doctors, nurses and other
health care professionals. Schedule 1 is the wrong answer, based on the
evidence presented in the two CNN videos above. Since it has a variety
of scientifically proven medical uses and it has been proven to be safe
under medical supervision, Schedule 1 is patently untruthful with
respect to marijuana and there is a growing political consensus on that
point. Keep in mind that heroin is a Schedule 1 drug and cocaine and
crystal meth are Schedule 2 drugs. Marijuana is less addictive and
dangerous than all three of these drugs and it currently has accepted
medical uses in the United States. So what's the best answer? Schedule
3, of course, at the very least. Marijuana is medicine. Case closed.
many thanks ;)
