The DEA Says Marijuana As Dangerous As Heroin www.greenrushdaily.com/2016/08/15/dea-says-marijuana-dangerous-heroin This really demonstrates what a bunch of idiots within the DEA is … The UK still uses pharmaceutical grade Heroin for pain management… because it is diacetylmorphine and is metabolized into Morphine in the body and on a mg to mg basis it is 2-3 more […]
