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.

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.
