You can explain til the cows come home how this would work..
But the problem is the Government and the DEA itself....
These entities have no intention letting go of a successful tool to control a good portion of the American People..

This issue is no longer medically in question..
So what other possible reason would there be for the stall tactics for all these years???
POWER....
If it were a money issue???This would not be a question.. It would be a done deal....

The FDA at the end of last year requested the DEA to reschedule Cannabis to a class 3 drug..
The FDA has been working closely with Bayer who has developed a Medical extract in a nose spray called Sativex..
It is available in Europe presently..
The DEA flat denied this request after months of waiting and re-quoted the same lame excuses used since President Nixon's day..

And add the recent invasion of the Feds in California as well as other Medical Marijuana States to shut down the so called store front Dispensaries..

Yes its about Power and Control of Americans Folks...
