It's a matter of politics over matter when the government's Drug War elevates marijuana above its true pharmacological controlled substances classification; it's a matter of hysteria to escalate it to the same top category as heroin and LSD, 'Schedule I Substances'.

Usually for nausea or weight loss from chemotherapy or AIDS. A massive Federal and State Drug War hysteria campaign failed to stop people approving it. * The New York Times, Oct 3, 1996, San Francisco * "Skirmish in Anti-Drug War: California vs. 'Doonesbury'", by Tim Golden * * There a drug wars, and there are drug wars... * * Marching bravely into the cultural swamp where Dan Quayle once bogged * down in combat with the television single mother Murphy Brown, * California's Attorney General, Dan Lungren, has taken his fight * against the medical u

The New York Times, June 20, 1997 President Threatens Veto of Senate Bill for CIA By TIM WEINER WASHINGTON -- The Senate on Thursday passed a secret spending bill for U.S. intelligence, but the White House threatened to veto it over a provision that would protect whistleblowers. The Senate bill would let employees of the Central Intelligence Agency and other branches of the government tell members of Congress classified information that would expose a crime, reveal lying to Congress, uncover fraud or stop abuses.
