The real joke is that the DEA (Drug ENFORCEMENT Agency) thinks it is now a medical authority. We need to immediately close down any agency that assumes a larger role than that they are entitled to. The FDA determines if a legitimate medical use can be obtained from a substance and it has done so as the referenced article points out. Debate OVER! But we are again reminded that cops all eventually assume that they are the ultimate authority in all issues because they have the ability to abuse the power we have given them and we let them get away with it.
