		<description>Patricia:  

      NIDA is the only facility granted by the DEA to grow the marijuana for testing.  When a scientist request to study it they get crappy weed sent to them and also it can take for ever to get it to them.  NIDA and you can go to there website, only studies the bad effects of marijuana nothing more.  So when a scientist does find something good it gets brushed under the table like it never happened.  Also there was a case that went to court, a scientist requested to be allowed to grow was denied B/C of the DEA.  Hell he had to sue just to get them to look at his application.  there&#039;s so much BS its amazing what these idiots get away with.  maybe Obama will change this and ask for the publics support or he&#039;ll be just like any other politician and do as hes told by his party so we get nothing done.</description>

		<description>CNBC will be premiering Marijuana Inc. Inside America’s Pot Industry on Thursday, January 22nd at 9p ET / 10p PT. The marijuana trade has long been one of the country’s leading black market industries. What factors continue to help this taboo business thrive and how is the government profiting as a result?  Join Trish Regan as she explores this growing industry and how it has expanded into a major business with its own sophisticated network of growers, workers, and quasi-legal retail outlets, in the form of medical marijuana dispensaries. 

Web extras are coming soon to http://originals.cnbc.com.  
 
Sneak preview on Hulu: http://www.hulu.com/watch/51204/

		<description>When less than 50% of the nation votes... Government has failed. They are serving less than 50% of the nation, and oppressing the remaining portion. When that number falls below 25%, we come to take back our nation.

Substance users founded this nation/world, supported this nation, built most of this technology, and turned most dreams into reality. Non-users dream, but have no view of reality. They are the ones chanting, love, peace, unity, share, give, happy-thoughts, bouncy-bouncy, and have a dream of a world without reality. Without drugs. Drugs/chemicals/nutrients are part of life. They fuel our brain, even the bad ones. Everything is bad without moderation. The government should impose minimums and maximums, to stop state abuse. It should not dictate what, and where, and who.

Demand that all seized money, which was legitimately earned by someone, be given back to the nation. Give it directly to education and growth. Pay off debits. Stop allowing states and individual officers to &quot;Mysteriously&quot;, forget to report. No-one has $94,345.00 in a raid. They had $100,000.00, and the officers took the rest. Now the department has the remaining money.

Why should we be paying for this war at all? Why is it a war? Users need to be left alone, abusers need help, criminals need to be reformed, and threats need to be subdued and contained. Define, users, abusers, criminals, and threats. Define them clearly, equally, without open-ended terms and undefendable catch-all words. Laws should be short, blunt, and without overlap and sub-notes, retaining &quot;Intent&quot;, to stop abuse of a law.

One law... No non-prescription substances, other than food and water are allowed while working, around non-adults, in undesignated establishments, or in occupancies which you do not have permission to consume non-prescription substances. Let the states handle the rest. That covers schools, churches, bars, public parks, others houses, children, etc...

Punishment... Minimum penalty of {Insert tolerable substance penalty here}, Maximum penalty of {Insert tolerable substance penalty here}.

States MUST impose minimums, and may NEVER exceed maximums. (Each substance listed clearly, where needed, and all having a mandatory 4 year scientific evaluation/review for reform, based on changes.)

Our nation and future should not be carved in stone! Dreams should not be an &quot;Excuse&quot; for actions, nor should they be out of reach or scope of reality. No place will EVER be drug-free, or crime-free, or hate-free. Don&#039;t continue to make stupid laws that can&#039;t be followed or defended, and you will have a functional growing nation again.

No single person knows all laws. How can anyone honestly obey them, if not one person knows them all?</description>

		<description>Bob Says:  
&quot;there is no “demon weed” and there never will be. 

The biggest demon has always been alcohol&quot;

I can attest to that. Many of my lifes troubles, near death experiences, arrests, injuries, car crashes, job losses and countless others are alcohol related.

Cannibus, none of the above.

Its not a war on drugs, never has been. Its a slow massacre.</description>
