The DEA first claimed marijuana wasn't healthy, they were wrong. Then they said it was addictive, wrong again. Then it was supposedly a "gateway drug", which it is not. Now they claim that THC, the main ingredient in marijuana, has a high risk for abuse. Well i don't know how a non-addictive, non-lethal drug can have a high risk of abuse, but whatever! But instead of backing up their latest reason why marijuana is bad, they, instead, completely contridicted themselves!

Recently the DEA came out with a new drug called Marinol(dronabinol). Wait, doesn't 'dronabinol' sound alot like 'cannibinol'? Yes it does..the reason? Becuase this new government supported drug's main ingredient is THC!!!!! Only it is synthetic THC, not pure. Why can we use a man-made pill, but not a nature made plant? It doesn't add up! They are the same thing, and the government knows it! They know that the marijuana laws are ridiculous, and that people need help, but they can't admit it to themselves! The bastards! The pill is also worse for you than the real thing. It is harder to tell how muchyour dosage is because it takes 1/2-1 full hour to take effect! *Marijuana takes effect instantly.* Because it is a pill, nasuea, vomiting, dizziness, etc are all problems.*Marijuana doesn't have those because marijuana is a pil!!!* This pill pisses me off. It is the government trying to avoid legalizing marijuana, but admiting it can help! This pill proves that marijuana has value, why won't they realize it!
