THE DEA AND THE FDA ARE BOUGHT OUT BY PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES

Watch this video:



I can't possibly understand how our politicians are so far behind on this issue. Who are these people who really believe they're doing their country a service by locking up some guy selling medical marijuana? I have such a tough time dealing with this issue because I can't possibly see what you could believe about marijuana that would trigger this type of response.

I have to believe that something's going on; the DEA is protecting the interests of some major corporations. Think about it: anyone can grow it, it's not patentable, and it's a safer and as-effective (or better) alternative to many drugs they sell you already. To legitimize marijuana's use as a medical drug means major losses for drug companies. That's why the DEA HAS to maintain its stance as having no medical use, despite the litany of studies, scientists, doctors, and medical organizations that have come out behind its accepted medical use. I just can't believe these people actually believe what they're saying. It just is not politically viable to act on this issue right now. That's a lot of donation money that's going to go to your opponent, who will be sure to come down hard on medical marijuana. It may not even be so direct as the drug companies telling politicians what to do, but that they know they get a lot of money from drug companies, which they can't lose. So they just do what they know the drug companies need, so they fight to keep medical marijuana illegal. There doesn't need to be a conspiracy; just influence.

Just look at what the GOP said about enforcing medical marijuana laws:

“Barack Obama’s pledge to stop Executive agencies from implementing laws passed by Congress raises serious doubts about his understanding of what the job of the President of the United States actually is. His refusal to enforce the law reveals that Barack Obama doesn’t have the experience necessary to do the job of President, or that he fundamentally lacks the judgment to carry out the most basic functions of the Executive Branch. What other laws would Barack Obama direct federal agents not to enforce?”

I don't think this requires explanation.

I know a conspiracy maybe seem crazy, and I know I have no proof. I don't even know if I completely believe it. However, it does seem plausible, and it's just what I thought when I saw the above video.
