Hypocrisy concerning the Federal Drug Adminstration (FDA) approach to drugs

The hypocrisy is that hops is in the cannabis family but its perfectly legal and used for booze.Also if you look at the ingredients in NYQUIL they have an ingredient called Acetaminophen which is a cannabinoid and also it contains a chemical called Dextromethorphan which is five times more powerful than morphine to the equivalent of PCP and yes NYQUIL is an over the counter drug.

They give you a drug to fix a problem,then other drugs to cover up the side effects of the previous drugs they have given you and the cycle continues.Why do they give you drugs that will kill you or leave you disabled vs. giving you drugs that have low to no side effects?It has to do with money and politics are run by money.Why else would they give you drugs that might kill you if you with drawl from them?To keep you on them!If you cant go without your medicine,if you have to keep taking it,then they keep making money.

We are allowed to eat poppy seeds (which has enough residue in it to show up in drug tests),and drink cannabis but we are not allowed to smoke it?
35 states have approved it for medical use. id like to see a national vote on it to see what people really think.

The effects have been over stated,the benefits out way the damaging effect if any using a vaporizer.food companies put embalming fluid and other things such as cyanide same as cigarettes.They have pretty much the same bad stuff in them and the drug companies only give treatments and pills with side effects from everything from pooping your pants to death.All approved by the USDA.

These are the same people that said eggs were good,then they were bad,then they said this part was good and that part was bad.Do we really need incompetent people telling us what drugs we should put in our bodies?Natural drugs do just what they do pills over the counter and RX have millions of side effects.Of course the pharmacies don't want it out.If you could grow your own and treat yourself they would loose billions.

It's hypocritical but politics are hypocritical they say one thing to cover up doing the exact opposite of what they said they wouldn't do and vise versa.its all about presence how you make it look , not what you actually do.Ask the Governor of California,he got elected because he said he would help with the illegal use and loss of money from the state.He has since not addressed the issue since being elected.

Anyway...low and non existent THC hemp is being considered a class 1 drug meaning it's in the same family as cocaine,opium,and heroine.There is to much proof from other countries and from our own doctors to say their are no benefits to marijuana.There is much history behind why it is illegal which i suggest reading up on.what started and why it is the way it is now.I think the government is afraid to say they screwed up so they are going to keep pushing for it no matter what unless the American people get up and say something about it which is why probably why there has never been a national vote on it.
