US Government Supplies FDA Approved Medical Marijuana
If your interests were piqued from the last post about Montel Williams and Irv Rosenfeld, then you may enjoy this one.
This article, by Pete Guither, provides a bit more information on the hypocrisy of the US government claiming no medicinal value of marijuana, yet providing FDA-approved marijuana to people, such as Irv Rosenfeld.
Here’s an excerpt:
You see, Irv Rosenfeld is one of a small group of patients who actually gets medical marijuana legally from the federal government — yep, that same federal government that sends storm troopers to arrest California patients doing the same thing. He is part of the Compassionate IND (Investigational New Drug) program and gets about 300 marijuana cigarettes in a metal tin prescribed to last 25 days.
He was a real hit at the Illinois House Committee hearing yesterday. The press was particularly fascinated by the notion that someone could be legally carrying around a tin of marijuana in the State Capital. (seen here examining Irv’s tin and supporting letters)
