- This is not a Democrat/Republican thing. It's about freedom, the Fourth Amendment, and "Big Government" persecuting minorities and disenfranchised folks. Also, it's about old religious taboos and 19th century puritanism.

- No, he copied it verbatim from the report that was issued. Also, in the 50s and 60s doctors thought it 'good' to drink lots of milk if you had an ulcer - now we know about lactose and that it exacerbates a stomach ulcer. Dr's used to tell pale skinned people (like John McCain) to get out in the sun more. Now they know more about UV rays and skin cancer.
Sometimes even the best-intentioned people are all wrong. Time (and sound science) proves them wrong. So I call now to all real scientists and lovers of TRUTH to look into medical cannabis and see if our current Schedule I classification is 'sound science' or medieval, superstitious quackery. No more "junk science", please. - Reply to this comment

- False. Medical cannabis actually makes you need anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, sedatives, and other pharma-patented medicines less. A plot by ..... psychiatrists??? Now I've heard everything !
