- How is this any different than the DEA not touching known narcotics traffic for a decade at a time in order to get a handle on who's moving what, where?
It is no different. And, no one is clear how effective it may actually be, since there's never been an end to either illicit arms, or illicit drugs. It's pointless methodology for pointless policy.
Policy makers here would do well to revisit the pragmatic lessons of Freakonomics and stop dumping money and resources down unwinnable "wars". - Reply to this comment
- Scientific trials have for decades documented the anti-cancer properties of cannabis and its constituents. Yet it took until this week for the website of the National Institute of Cancer, a component of the U.S. government's National Institutes of Health, to finally acknowledged the herb's therapeutic utility for patients living with disease or suffering from the adverse side-effects of cancer treatment.
In a newly added section to the website, entitled 'Cannabis and Cannabinoids,' the Institute states:
Cannabinoids may cause antitumor effects by various mechanisms, including induction of cell death, inhibition of cell growth, and inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Cannabinoids appear to kill tumor cells but do not affect their nontransformed counterparts and may even protect them from cell death."
&The potential benefits of medicinal cannabis for people living with cancer include antiemetic effects, appetite stimulation, pain relief, and improved sleep. In the practice of integrative oncology, the health care provider may recommend medicinal cannabis not only for symptom management but also for its possible direct antitumor effect."
It's a stunning acknowledgment, given that the NIH is a branch of the very same government that presently maintains that the cannabis plant and all of its naturally-derived components have 'no accepted medical use.' Yet it also begs the question: Where has the National Institute of Cancer been all these years?
After all, the anti-tumor activity of cannabinoids were initially documented in 1975! That's right; it's taken 36 years for the Institute to get with the program.
Hopefully it won't take them another 36 years to demand that the Feds finally assess whether these preclinical results are replicable in human trials. - Reply to this comment

- As a whistleblower from Abbott Laboratories, I have endured horrific corruption and I believe it may have happened at all levels of Government.
Sadly, "we the people" of the United States are living a fairy tail lifestyle. There is much corruption in our country and the evil is beginning to raise its ugly head. I do not know if corruption lead to this situation but I do know that arrogance leads to corrupt processes and arrogance is everywhere.
As a chemical engineer, I witnessed arrogance in corporate America and the FDA. Although arrogance was bad in both areas, my experience at Abbott Laboratories was worse. We have a tendency to forget that "we are all responsible" for our own actions. Sadly, there are many "professionals" who "pass the buck" to another and let someone else be charged with negligence while taking credit for any successes.
In my case, I have been recorded since leaving Abbott Laboratories. I know the latter to be true because people have made comments to me in public and after I said something in privacy. In my case, I had severe homosexual desires as well and corrupt police, citizens, Abbott employees, etc attempted to use such information against me. In a nutshell, they said they would reveal the information to family, friends, and white supremacist if I did not commit suicide. Furthermore, the same sociopaths have said they know sexual traffickers and they have sexually exploited children on a regular basis. What I have experienced has been pure disgusting hell! Abbott and sexual traffickers?
As we know, drugs are prevalent ion our society and corporate children and corporate employees use drugs as well. Sadly, many meth traffickers are transitioning into sexual trafficking and sexual trafficking is growing out of control in this country. In 2000, the statistics indicated an "average" of 50,000 trafficked, enslaved, sold, and sexually exploited children/year. Now, the number is approximately 100,000/year. Recently, I performed a simple estimate that indicated approximately 361,000 children have been murdered and "disposed" of in the USA. In other words, our Nation's back yard is becoming a "grave yard" for tortured children. What doe this have to do with whistleblowing?
Corruption allows all the above! As an Abbott Laboratories whistleblower, I have endured horrific corruption and continue to endure directional audio bullying, emotional torture, from sociopathic friends of Abbott Laboratories. Currently, I live in hotels and I am living on my retirement because corporate head-hunting agencies, Kelly's Engineering, have willfully bullied me and then bragged (they thought the phone had been hung up but it was still off the hook while they bragged about giving that whistleblower a hard time). In addition, sociopaths have bragged about police molesting children, knowing sexual traffickers, placed threats on President Obama, his children, a Saudi friend and chemical engineering peer and his children, and my family.
If you find the latter difficult to believe, I suggest:
If you would like some more information domestic abuse, sexual trafficking, and corruption:

- Should be very easy to determine who/what/where! Obama, should send a memo to the head of DOJ/ATF/FBI telling them to release all documents relating to this issue within 24 hours or be fired! If Obama is really 'In Charge' then everyone of these department heads would just Jump to do what he has told them to do.

- The family of every person murdered by a Mexican drug cartel or gang member, in Mexico or the United States, has an issue with Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. Which mental maggot in DOJ or ATF, or both, came up with this hairball surefire way to arm the street gangs in our country? Who in ATF or DOJ was monitoring the individual weapons allowed into the cartel hands to insure those weapons didn't make a u-turn and find a home on the streets in the United States in the hands of thugs? Like 30 Deep in Atlanta, Georgia, or any of the many, many other organized crime gangs that roam the streets of every major city in our country. I applaud the agents that stood up for the rule of law and common sense and refused to continue on the 'Path of Morons' set down by DOJ and ATF. Their outing of this insanity has and will save many lives.

- coucou,
cette affaire est pire que l'affaire Wikileaks, elle n'a pas finit de dévoiler tous ses secrets, mais dans les deux cas il s'agit de fuite,
je ne pense pas que Président OBAMA soit impliqué , c'est une affaire de longue date,
Georges Walker Bush surement au courant
..........
this case is worse than the Wikileaks case, she has not finished to reveal all its secrets, but in both cases there is a leak,
I do not think President Obama is implicated, it is a matter of longstanding
George Walker Bush surely informed.

- There will be someone to take the blame for all of this. My guess is someone big will commit suicide and they will put the blame on him or her.
