Medical Benefits Of Marijuana - National Cancer Institute

MSNBC host Cenk Uygur explains how the National Cancer Institute has recognized several possible medical benefits from marijuana use. This could lead to having marijuana reclassified from a Schedule 1 drug down to a Schedule III drug in which case the government could not crack down on medical marijuana shops.

But how are we supposed to help the private prison industry if we can't pack dope offenders like sardines into their overcrowded convict warehouses? And how are we supposed to help our pharmaceutical industries when they can't patent a weed? And how are we supposed to help our beer, wine, and distilled spirits industries when there's a new legal competitor on the market?

Pro-marijuana = anti-business, and
Anti-business = anti-American, ∴
Pro-marijuana = anti-American

Why do dopers hate America?

Oh? What was this thread about again? Something about hippies and their wacky weed?

I like what he has to say, but goddamn, Cenk is the sloppiest newscaster I've ever heard. I want to rap him upside the head with my pointer and yell "Slow down! E-NUN-CIATE."

Someone should turn Cenk onto this plant I heard about that you can smoke and it calms you down... its name escapes me at the moment...

The weed industry will eventually have enough money to buy more "representation" in congress, just don't expect them to push hard for people's right to grow at home (bad for business).

Congress has had every reason to reschedule the drug since 1972. They simply do not give a shit about the wording of the Controlled Substances Act, and there is no way of making them give a shit. Courts have no say since it isn't a constitutional issue. The only other way of doing it is to petition the attorney general, the last such petition was presented in 2002 and is still being reviewed. Very very slowly.
