So why was marijuana made illegal? Good ol racism nothing more nothing less.

Why is marijuana still illegal? Because we as Americans are governed by Lobbyists and Super PAC money which ironically we supply by having to purchase extremely over inflated medications which these groups take a good part of the proceeds and pay our political system to not recognize any other forms of treatment as being legal as well as not forcing them to sell us the same medication at the price that’s charged in over half of the world.

As far as the government’s information goes.
The U S government has only allowed one school since the 70’s to grow and test marijuana for any medical research and that would be the University of Mississippi.
Which is in Mississippi one of the most racist and intolerant states in our country so if anyone thinks that they’re going to provide a fair and respectable research...well don’t know Mississippi.

But seriously it’s been reported that what they’re given to conduct research with would get your ass beaten on the streets for trying to sell it. So of course they aren’t able to find any quality material to use.

But as other countries and independent researchers have discovered just as in your post certain components within Cbd’s from certain strains of marijuana can essentially destroy the dna cells within certain forms of cancer.

So what that means is that not all marijuana has healing or cancer fighting components and in some cases the Cbd’s themselves have been genetically modified in order to have effective properties.
Also the research is still at the point where we don’t know if it completely eradicates the cancer cells preventing the cancer from returning.
Nor do we know whether or not since there has been some genetic modifications done will the treatment actually cause any other issues in the future.

So yeah it is stupid and even though we knew back in 1970 when Nixon requested the university of Virginia to conduct a study to prove that marijuana caused cancer and four years later their findings actually showed that not only did it not produce cancer but it actually worked against certain types of cancer.
Our government is still getting paid to not allow it to be legal.

So maybe El Chapo and the other narcos should’ve created a lobbying group to buy our politicians instead of giving some asshole the idea that we need a wall more than we need a cure for cancer.
