I have a couple of questions:

What the hell are the FDA doing? If this is the stuff they have approved, I dread to think of the drugs they did not approve. When anti-depressants lead to suicide, when asthma medication increases difficulty breathing and promotes severe asthma attacks and when medication that's supposed to aid in a patient's heart surgery recovery causes more damage to the heart, there is definitely something rotten in the State of Denmark.

If all these prescriptions drugs, many of which have not been tested for more than twenty or thirty years, seem to be approved willy nilly, why hasn't Marijuana?

Marijuana has been smoked and ingested in various forms for at least 2500 to 2800 years in the Indian sub-continent alone, and as far as I am aware, there isn't a single weed related death on record. Ganja's medicinal benefits have been proven time and time again, yet Big Pharmacy has the FDA and other regulating bodies by the short and curlies.

A new study published by JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association) reveals that Marijuana can kerb the spread of breast cancer, and yet it, in most of the world, it remains only available on street corners.
