After a lawsuit filed against the Drug Enforcement Agency for three years of foot-dragging, the Justice Department will finally move ahead in expanding marijuana research.
Ms Barr will be able to make more money now .
Well golly. We can’t have any science that could conflict with our preconceived ideas. They’ll figure out a way to do the pooch on this one.
Shouldn’t this be under Food & Drug, rather than DOJ?!?
It’s bizarre for DOJ to stall, seeing as over half the states have voted to legalize it by next year.
Marijuana has been under DEA jurisdiction, and DEA is part of DOJ.
FIFY 
Anyone else get the feeling that they are going to try to outlaw vaping and E cigs? Been a lot of press about one recent death due to vaping and a handful of teens that have been hospitalized due to vaping. Never mind that there are 480,000 deaths annually due to tobacco. That’s 1,315 deaths a day just in the US. I think some of these vaping problems are caused by using products that are concocted at home and have impurities and contaminants.
They have stressed that some of these lung issues have been experienced by teens who have vaped THC.
I’m just a little curious why they are giving these isolated incidents so much coverage.
I wholeheartedly agree; like how often do stoned drivers run over school children.
Per Cheech and Chong:
“Hey man, Am I drivin’ okay?”
“I think we’re parked, man.”
Or roll over on top of your 8 week old baby and suffocate it due to being stoned?

Which is exactly why we need scientific research. All the DOJ has now is anecdotal stories.
and what about all of the teens with the same lung scenario that did Not vape THC? i suspect that chemicals that are being used in making vape oils by some manufacturers will be the culprit.
the virulently anti-marijuana Jeff Sessions
Sessions coming into contact with marijuana leads to their mutual annihilation, but if we could harness the energy that is produced we could replace some of those dangerous wind turbines.
New study released today:
Dept Of Just Opposition or DOJO will take over when the chosen one commands it.
Marijuana found to nullify the effects of Trumpantics.
I guess that makes sense, but shouldn’t research on the drug be shepherded by FDA?
LEOs of all stripes do NOT want cannabis legalized. It deprives them of their “go-to” reason for unconstitutional searches… “I smell marijuana”. That’s all they gotta say and they can search your body, your car, your home and all your possessions. Bodycams and cell phones cannot record smells - so there’s no way to contradict the LEO.
Black guy in a white neighborhood? I smell marijuana.
Hispanic male driving a nice car? I smell marijuana.
Scruffy guy in a high-end shop? I smell marijuana.
Driving while black? I smell marijuana.
Dude looks like my wife’s boyfriend? I smell marijuana.
Just wanna fuck with somebody? I smell marijuana.
See? Easy peasy!
