THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT KEEPS POT FROM PATIENTS

Repealing federal marijuana prohibition would allow all states to
comply with approved medical protocol and accepted standards of
distribution for medical marijuana.

Why is the federal government stalling?

According to FBI estimates, upwards of 80 percent of all drug arrests
are exclusively for marijuana: Taking marijuana out of the drug-war
equation would leave fewer than 3 million to 4 million addicts of
heroin, cocaine or meth across the entire nation. Anti-marijuana
forces are left with an inflated battle cry regarding authentic levels
of addiction and quantities of illegal drugs crossing U.S. borders.

The federal government is clearly addicted to marijuana prohibition;
consequently, its policies reflect an indifference to the will of the
people and the medical necessity of patients.
