ALLOW MEDICAL MARIJUANA

It's simply disgraceful that the Food and Drug Administration is the
federal government's agency trusted to provide accurate advice with
respect to the medications submitted by drug companies, and to
guarantee their safety for consumption prior to them being placed on
grocery or pharmacy shelves.

Bad things happen to good people. Reactions to prescription drugs
kill thousands of people every year I mean the drugs that the
companies advertise the heaviest, and the ones that are ineffective.

The pharmaceutical industry corrupts the part of Congress that Jack
Abramoff and Tom Delay didn't, and some owe their seats to these
professional drug pushers who don't want to compete with medical
marijuana because they would lose.

Consider how many very expensive anti-anxiety, anti-depression and
anti-nausea medications being pushed by the pharmaceutical industries
would disappear from the market, replaced with a cheap drug, easily
produced, decidedly superior and not in control by the drug companies
a drug affectionately called pot by users. Immediately, there would
be the $70 billion annual budget the Drug Enforcement Administration
is using to harass medical marijuana patients that could be used to
feed the homeless and give 40 million uninsured children health insurance.
