DEA QUIETLY CLASSIFIES CBD OIL AS SCHEDULE 1 DRUG

[n2doc]

By Maureen Meehan December 16, 2016

On Wednesday, the DEA took yet another swipe at marijuana by amending its already bizarre classification of pot as a Schedule I drug. Now, all extracts, including cannabidiol (CBD), will be listed right up there with heroin as a “drug with no medical use.”

Tell that to the thousands of epilepsy sufferers, who are mercifully enjoying relief from intractable epilepsy and polymorphic seizures.

Under their new drug code, entitled “Establishment of a New Drug Code for Marihuana Extract,” the DEA announced it was “creating a separate code number for marihuana extract with the following definition: ‘Meaning an extract containing one or more cannabinoids that has been derived from any plant of the genus Cannabis, other than the separated resin (whether crude or purified) obtained from the plant.’ Extracts of marihuana will continue to be treated as Schedule I controlled substances.”

9. Just more evidence...

...that the pharmaceutical and medical industries are not working in the public interest.

Of course, they say they are and back that up with a barrage of brightly-colored pills and paid-for testimonials that put their profits ahead of public health. SOP in the American Free Market...However, using the justice department to penalize the competition is distinctly American, where everything is For Sale.
