Comments on: Drug Czar Clarification: ‘Smoked Marijuana’ Is Dangerous And Has No Medicinal Value? http://blog.norml.org/2009/08/08/drug-czar-clarification-smoked-marijuana-is-dangerous-and-has-no-medicinal-value/ Working to reform marijuana laws Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:36:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Hexx http://blog.norml.org/2009/08/08/drug-czar-clarification-smoked-marijuana-is-dangerous-and-has-no-medicinal-value/comment-page-3/#comment-77531 Hexx Wed, 12 May 2010 00:10:43 +0000 http://blog.norml.org/?p=1335#comment-77531 It is so unbelievable that first President Obama says that he is all for the legalization of Marijuana now he says that he is against it. I am glad I did not vote for him. I did not vote for McCain either. I voted for Libertarian. See this is what I hate about both the Democrats and the Republicans is that they want to make a law for everything and at the same time they trick us like they did on the 3 strikes law. Attention People of generation x, if you want for their to be less laws and more freedom stop voting Democrat or Republican and vote either American Independent or Libertarian.

It may have a lot of chemicals in it but are any of them toxic enough that they could kill people? Can anyone clarify what the Drug Czar meant by dangerous, because I didn't see that in the clip. I just heard him say the FDA hasn't said that smoked marijuana has medicinal benefits. What is taking them so long? There is a pill called marinol that is out and I've heard that is has the active ingredient of marijuana in it. They also have some sprays out that you can spray in your mouth, and they got THC in them as well. Are these illegal to possess and prescribe by federal law in the U.S.?

If we want to stop hearing all of the mendacity spewed by anyone, anywhere, and for any reason...in other words...leaving us nothing to bitch about...we have to lean on the President to "enforce" his Memorandum to Executive Department Heads and Agencies, and the Data/Information Act. Not only does this instruct government not to disseminate false and misleading information...but...it instructs those disseminators to correct that information which is incorrect. Copy of letter to E-Mail to Whitehouse.gov to follow. THEN WILL YOU HEAR ME NOW?

Obviously, smoking and eating marijuana has worked for thousands of years of human history without having to have a chemist in a white labcoat mess with it.
