Transcript: The DEA is protecting NIDA's monopoly. They require licensing to research marijuana; however, gives the run around. For instances, Professor Lyle Craker, director of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst's Medicinal Plant Program. Dr. Craker applied for a license from the DEA to establish a facility for FDA-approved research in June 2001. Later that year the DEA claimed the application was lost. a copy was resubmitted then rejected in February 2002 In July 2002, the original application was returned, unprocessed, with the DEA date stamp showing it was received June 2001. Craker resubmitted another signed application on August 20, 2002, which the DEA acknowledged receiving After another year Craker sued the DEA for unreasonable delay - the DEA took action and rejected the app. Again in 2002, Dr. Jon Gettman and others filed a third marijuana rescheduling petition. Marijuana does have medical use, relatively low dependence and abuse liabilities The DEA accepted the petition then stalled for next 8 years then denied the petition The DEA concluded that there were not enough "adequate and well-conducted studies," and thus no "currently accepted medical use." Based on the California Secretary of State, results showed that Yes= 7,979,041 (57.13%) No= 5,987,020 (42.87%) Good or Bad? For the researchers the NIDA approved, the NIDA provided inferior, low potency marijuana with limited cannabinoid profiles. MAPS also stated, that the NIDA highest potency for research is 7% THC while, in states where marijuana is legal the documented potency is between 15-24 percent THC. Yes or No Yes: Adults 21 and over can legally possess, transport, purchase, consume or share up to one ounce(28.5g) of weed and 8g of concentrated weed.

And scientist confirm that marijuana is a relatively safe drug with tremendous medical potential The DEA took 16 years to issue the final decision on the first marijuana rescheduling. 5 years for the second. 9 years for the third rescheduling. In 2/3 cases it took several lawsuits in order for the agency to actually act Then another 12 years and another lawsuit for the DEA to deny a request for an independent research supply. Prop 64..?
