UC San Diego to use controversial marijuana compound to treat severe autism
UC San Diego will try to alleviate severe autism in children by giving them a non-psychoactive chemical found in marijuana, a project funded by the biggest private donation ever made in the U.S. for such research.
The $4.7 million study involves the controversial compound cannabidiol, or CBD, which is widely marketed nationwide as something of a miracle drug, capable of treating everything from cancer to post-traumatic stress disorder.
[...] UC San Diego dealt with the issue by asking the Ray and Tye Noorda Foundation of Lindon, Utah, for $4.7 million to study whether CBD can ease the most severe symptoms of autism, including seizures, self-injuring behavior, and crippling anxiety. The foundation agreed, and it is urging the federal government to remove marijuana from its list of Schedule 1 drugs so that cannabis can be widely studied.

after removing weed from schedule 1, we need to arrest all the scum that have been persecuting people under unconstitutional drug laws, including the whores in the legislatures. These pieces of shit have been allowed to destroy the country for far too long.

That's fine, because you like to talk all about action but will just end up getting high and doing jack shit as usual.

That would be called: Revolution, and is unlikely to pass the legislature.

Right after we nab the war criminals and other violators of civil liberties, including FBI/NSA/CIA agents, local cops, etc.
Face it, history is written and performed by the winners and you aren't one.
Even if you formed a concrete plan to forcefully impose your will on said "whores", you would have little effect and be regarded as a lone wulf, nutjob, terrorist, or have your multi-user plot be disrupted by FBI snitches. Things have to get a lot worse economically for the middle class before shit really hits tha fan in an uncontainable way.
