Not a Medicine but what happend 30 years ago
Every time the White House Drug Czar, John Walters, speaks of the Medical use of Marijuana he says things along the line of, “Snake oil” “Medicinal Crack” and everything you can think of someone saying whose job depends on keeping Marijuana illegal.
Here is the Question, If this is all true and the beliefs of the White House, then why has the Federal Government been giving it to patients for 30 years?
Yes today marks the 30th year since the Federal Government started giving Marijuana to Robert Randal May 10th, 1978. It was considered a Research program that during those 30 years have seen 34 members of the group. 4 of them are still surviving. and those four are still receiving their 10 ounces of Marijuana per month.
NORML has an article here
Now for some of you that think that Medical Marijuana users just want to get high:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEDICAL MARIJUANA (although you are really thousands of years old)

I do not understand the world of humans. They do not accept euthanasia for those, who are dying in pain and there is no hope for being cured, but they even do not want to legalize a medicine, which could lower the pain in a way like marijuana does.
I do not smoke and I never will neither marijuana or ordinary cigarettes, or whatever can be smoked, but when they can allow tobacco, which is (some say) more harmful than marijuana (how many people die because of marijuana and how many because of tobacco? Some say, that marijuana is more harmful, but who knows these days, when it is enough to pay to somebody and he will say how his research shows that your product is super). And also because another drug - alcohol, many people die every year because of it. If your governments would really be interested in our health, they would put at least tobacco into illegality too.
