It doesn't heal cancer. Actually has twice the tar / build up tobacco does and can cause cancer. You are really not supposed to smoke anything into your lungs. Vaping is a more medicinal way to inhale thc. Marijuana is amazing for cancer patients when they are in chemotherapy. Helps them eat, sleep, and a little with pain.

Actually studies have shown that people who smoke marijuana do not have an increased risk of cancer. Cannabinoids can also shrink tumors.

Well that's a bold faced lie if I ever saw one. Or just careful use of the words to make sensationalist claims.
"No of course cannabis has medicinal value! I was simply speaking on smoking marijuana leaf, which we all know is a ridiculous evil drug."
Either way, it's evil as fuck.

Chuck Rosenberg, chief of the Drug Enforcement Administration, said that...
"There are pieces of marijuana—extracts or constituents or component parts—that have great promise," he said. "But if you talk about smoking the leaf of marijuana, which is what people are talking about when they talk about medicinal marijuana, it has never been shown to be safe or effective as a medicine."
It's never been shown that drinking tea is safe or effective way to refresh yourself or treat dehydration but tell that to all my English chums. And, you'd think the chief of the DEA would know what part of the fucking plant people are smoking.

Not to side with the DEA, but you guys are aware that technically the bud is just specialized leaves, right? That's pretty basic biology.

They should show a picture of the kid with cancer who can eat because of pot and then ask him what's funny about that? It would be wonderful anti-DEA propaganda.

Wonder how he feels about opiates...
Ya know, the drugs that help your pain by numbing the connection between mind and body.
That's the real joke. Then you're addicted and sick before you even have a chance to heal...
Unfortunately that joke is on us

And not too long ago, the DEA would allow many of the stronger opiates to be shipped here to the states, to be legally sold for prescription.

The FDA recently approved a new formulation of Hydrocodone with out APAP. If I have the presence of mind to remember correctly I think the formulation contains 40mg of Hydrocodone and the Brand name starts with a Z? Don't quote me on that but the first sentence is correct.

Yes, I do believe that was a part in it. IIRC, it would also allow the traditional opiates (like Percodan, roxicet, etc) to be allowed at present levels, in spite of an upward spiral in long term addiction to them.

The bud, being the part with the majority of the trichomes (crystals), is the inflorescence, which is basically the flower, of the plant.

Component parts show promise....but not the leaf. What about the buds? Lol
Basically saying concentrates are safer than plant matter even
DEA chief doesnt even know basic marijuana facts. Whatever, let them run their circus. I just hope over time the DEA is seen to be the anachronism that it is
In my neck of the woods there was a pretty large oxy epidemic (no not florida lol) and now they made it so people addicted to oxy cant get anymore, forcing them onto heroin or suboxone, with heroin in pretty large supply it seems. It almost seems like a tactical attempt to get people from oxy to dope. And now (in my area at least) people who actually need opioid painkillers are having a hard time getting them. And you dont see a single percocet sold on the street or anything. This is after years of $5-10 for an 80mg oxycodone (the old ones, the real "OC"s), so you can imagine the oxy fiending that was going on

Now I'm not given to conspiracy theories in general, the fact that the CIA was involved in selling coke in the US under the guise of funding various "freedom fighters" in South America, and the fact that the US is operating in Afghanistan right now, which is pumping out unprecedented amounts of Heroin, this does make me kinda go hum.

If it were true the CIA was whole saling blow to fund operations with invisible money I don't think they would give a shit where it got sold just as long as it was selling.
