U.S. Gov’t Will Legalize Marijuana on August 1
If this information is true, we all know how the bureaucrats and the DEA in particular are great at telling partial truths… just enough to make you believe that things are in your favor but in the end it is all really some sort of smoke and mirrors.
Just think back to the Benghazi attack when one of our Diplomats and three other Americans were killed in Sept 2012 just before the Presidential election of Nov 2012.. Blamed on some indy film about Islam causing the uprising. The fact that it was on Sept 11,2012 the anniversary of the 911 attack on the twin towers in NY. If the truth came out… maybe Obama might not have been reelected.. because there was only 5 million votes between him and Romney.
The timing of this alleged announcement by the DEA regarding MJ… after having turned down official requests to take MJ out of the C-I classification THREE DIFFERENT TIMES over the last 40 + yrs.
Could the DEA make this change in classification Aug 1st and then open a 90 day comment period and then after the Nov election… come out and say that the majority of comments were against the reclassification and rescind the proposed change after the election.
Let’s assume that they do announce a change to C-II classification…what exactly are they going to change.. there are all sorts of varieties of MJ and 100 components isolated and an estimated 300 more yet to be isolated.
Does changing the classification to C-II automatically make MJ a Legend Drug – Federal law prohibits dispensing without a prescription. Are they only going to reclassify components of MJ once they have went thru clinical trials – which could take 10-15 yrs ?
Could they require new training for physicians that wish to prescribe MJ.. and special DEA license.. like they do with the prescribing of Suboxone and limit the number of pt that a prescriber can have on MJ at any given point in time.
Could this be the point where insurance companies start refusing to pay for a Legend drug… no prior authorization, no appeal process, no exception to formulary coverage. Many of the larger PBM’s have stopped paying for pharmacy compounded products in the last couple of years.
Will this unwind the 26 states that have approved MJ/MMJ for sale legally… will this mean that all MJ dispensaries are going to have to become licensed pharmacies and have Pharmacists on staff…
Making MJ a C-II still leaves the substance under DEA’s control and just like they are causing wholesalers to ration supplies to pharmacies. Raiding prescriber’s offices to investigate what they consider over prescribing.
The number of potential “worms” in this can that they are supposedly going to open could be close to an invasion.
The government never does anything without an alternative motive … a game plan to create a larger bureaucracy or way to increase their budgets and/or revenues.

In it’s unprocessed, native state, Cannabis is a complex biologic mixture of active moieties. As such, it cannot be treated like a single, small molecular entity and patented by one of the Big Pharma concerns. However, there is a relatively new class of pharmaceutical agents known as Biologics.
These are drugs that are typically very complex, large molecular entities such as proteins/enzymes or glycoproteins. Sometimes they are mixtures of more than one moiety. They generally require some sort of biologic machinery, e.g., a genetically modified bacteria or mammalian cell line, in order to crank them out in the kinds of quantities needed to turn a profit. Often there are other steps needed to purify and standardize the crude “drug” material so that the regulatory standards for purity, potency, adulterant-free status, etc. are met.
For the folks wondering how Cannabis could be patented and monopolized by Big Pharma and their sycophantic partners at the FDA, I give you the Biologic pharmaceutical model as the way of making that happen. It will require a tweaking of the regulations to make that work, but as the FDA (and the other letters in the government’s bureaucratic alphabet soup) is a combined, extra-constitutional executive, legislative and judicial body that creates, interprets and enforces its own laws/regulations/rules, such de juris tweaking will be a small matter to attend to.
trust NOTHING out of this government,,,like I said in another post,,,back 6 years ago,,we had 2 documents in our HOME computer that states,,,coca leaf MUST be converted to benzoylecgonine for use in all gas spectrometer…,”’,,Which means they are MAKING a positive,,not testing for it,,,,soo,,,someone in ,”our” government went into our home computer,,,took the 2 documents out,,,,and literally change the original wording on the document we found it on,,,on the internet,,which w as,,2007,,,United States drug testing methods to the United Nations,,,,,now the document read,,,refer to so,so testing methods,in some book,,,..The point being,reagants,[chemical put in any drug testing cup/test strip BEFORE u pee use acid and alcohols],,,people who drink tea occasionally use water,,…I trust nothing our government does,,,there is always a ulternitive motive to everything,,and they are ALLLLL liers,,,,maryw ,,,,”’,,,,
Here is where Big Pharma does it’s NDA grab and declares it a new drug…even though its an herbal product and the price goes up 100 fold….like they did for the Progesterone suppositories that were made really cheap to prevent miscarriages, colchicine that Big Pharma told the FDA never had any clinical studies and all of it was pulled off and Colrys replaced it at 100x the cost and I hear recently some company is trying to sell an extended release Aspirin product at 200.00 for 30 tablets as a new drug……Follow the money……
