The agency and the U.S. government are the last places to get "facts" about cannabis (kaneh bosm/marijuana). They are experts on prohibition, not cannabis. The rationale behind cannabis prohibition is and always has been based on lies; everything the DEA says about cannabis is suspect and should be researched by voters. Fact is, re-legalizing cannabis is past due, and the DEA should step aside while Colorado leads the nation back on track to obey Christ God Our Father in re-legalizing cannabis, bringing peace on earth and utilizing one of the great creations God has to offer.
