1. As powerful a lobby as the AMA is

I don't believe it will be able to counter the combined lobbying efforts of all the industries that stand to lose if marijuana and industrial hemp are legalized. Best of luck, however!

2. WTF does "addictable" mean?

The ignorance hurts my head. I need a joint...

ETA: I hope Marijuana is "more easier" to get soon. :rofl:

3. Yeah, "addictable"

NO ONE ever got hooked on booze, ya know.

9. They also spelled "heroin" wrong

unless they meant to classify Wonder Woman as a drug.

5. Thanks to Mr Harry Anslinger..DEA...30's to 50's,,,it was he who got America into Reefer Madness

hence the draconian step of pot being on the list.

He also got America to enter treaties with other Nations...re pot

He was a poster target for us hippies using darts , pellet guns, bb guns. sling shots, and arrows

In this newer pot climate and recent research...we may see a change...

Re Coca leaves...its a fucking FOOD and also should not be on the list...The Leaves are FOOD which them Peruvian

have consumed for 1000's of years....

America NEEDS those jobs..to hell with the corporations that dont want us to have them....let them give up their rights as American companies and move the rest of their company overseas..fuck them for destroying our jobs.

8. The power and money that ,the powers that be, have gained

since prohibition will not be given up; Period. This would not change if it was proven to be the most beneficial drug in the world. The $tate department alone gains incredible influence and powers over developing countries, especially in South America with its armies of De@ agents attached to and governed by our Embassies around the world; After all the constabulary could not jackboot down your door so easily on a discovery mission and steal your home and car and anything of value you have, if Mary Jane was legal.
