The American Medical Assn. on Tuesday urged the federal government to reconsider its classification of marijuana as a dangerous drug with no accepted medical use, a significant shift that puts the prestigious group behind calls for more research. In changing its policy, the group said its goal was to clear the way to conduct clinical research, develop cannabis-based medicines and devise alternative ways to deliver the drug.

  1. #1    Amidst all the Sturm und Drang going on here at Buzzflash, I thought I'd post something I believe is a good thing for most of us and America -- the good news about cannabis -- which could be a economic panacea as well as a much safer natural med source.

  2. #2    I've said it before and I'll say it again. The solution to terrorism is pot.

    Two terms you never hear: mean stoner and fat suicide bomber. Bring in boat loads of pot to troubled areas and everyone will get stoned and hungry. Add in pizza huts and Snickers and the vulnerable get fat and happy. Problem solved!

    Hell, the CIA knows how to dump drugs into the country. Look what they did with cocaine in the 80's.
