Will the Bush administration announce that it causes them, just to keep that news quiet? or squash it as a violation of the patriot act?

1. Is the Crusade against Drugs a clash between Christianity and Islam?

Cannabis Medicines Forbidden

While embracing wine as a sacrament, and tolerating beer and hard liquor, the Inquisition outlawed cannabis ingestion in Spain in the 12th Century, and France in the 13th.

Many other natural remedies were simultaneously banned. Anyone using hemp to communicate, heal, etc. was labeled witch.

Saint Joan of Arc, for example, was accused in 1430-31 of using a variety of herbal witch drugs, including cannabis, to hear voices.

3. That study was censored here loong ago

Along with any other positive marijuana study results:

(Censored Article #22)

A Spanish medical team's study released in Madrid in February 2000 has shown that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active chemical in marijuana, destroys tumors in lab rats. These findings, however, are not news to the U.S. government. A study in Virginia in 1974 yielded similar results but was suppressed by the DEA, and in 1983 the Reagan/Bush administration tried to persuade U.S. universities and researchers to destroy all cannabis research work done between 1966 and 1976, including compendiums in libraries.
