Pot-based prescription drug looks for FDA OK (first pharmaceutical developed from raw marijuana)

24. thanks for those kind words

because others here have accused me of all sorts of things simply because I have taken the time to learn as much as I can about this subject - they assume I'm something that I'm not and attack me on that basis. so it's nice to hear encouraging words. but this issue intersects with many of my interests (the history of botany, racism, music...) and mainstream news outlets simply do not provide enough factual information to people in the U.S. Most people don't seek out and try to sift through information from sites that are geared toward growers or scientists - so I thought, hey, I can use my geek librarian training to help widen the knowledge base on this subject, maybe. At least that's my hope.

I've archived a lot of info in the drug policy forum for anyone who wants to read up on this issue.

cannabis prohibition is, without doubt, one of the most racist and most class-based forms of institutional malfeasance practiced by our govt. at this time and in the history of this prohibition.
