The feds gladly fund development of anti-opioid vaccines for Big Pharma profits, but continue the war on a plant that is already proven to reduce opioid use.
After 20 years of patented opioid painkillers flooding America thanks to the pharmaceutical industry and careless doctors, the United States finds itself in a raging opioid epidemic.
As pain pill prescriptions have surged, overdose deaths from these legal drugs now total about 15,000 every year. When people can’t afford patented pills anymore, they turn to heroin, which killed almost 13,000 people in 2015—a 23 percent increase in one year. . . . Read Complete Report

Confirmed: Opioid Use Plummets in States with Legal Cannabis, and HowGovt Ignores this Truth
Yesterday we reported how Congress’ “opioid bill,” or Comprehensive Addiction & Recovery Act (CARA), was a hollow achievement, as it ignored medical cannabis alternatives and said nothing about the role of Big Pharma in the opioid abuse epidemic
Among the information missing from the conversation was an eye-opening study done last year. A JAMA Internal Medicine study looked at ten years of data in all 50 states, concluding that states with medical cannabis laws had significantly lower rates of opioid overdose mortality. . . .

Why Big Pharma is Blocking Marijuana Legalization in Arizona
Mike Papantonio discusses the reasons why the marijuana legalization effort failed in Arizona and speaks with Justin Strekal, Political Director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, about what pharmaceutical companies have to gain from keeping marijuana illegal.
Medical marijuana research comes out of the shadows
It was an unprecedented meeting of the minds and it happened at Harvard Medical School. The subject of April’s confab? Medical cannabis. Researchers suspect cannabis can do so many things, from fighting cancer to easing concussions and Crohn’s disease. There are still tight restrictions but weed is increasingly coming into the scientific mainstream. Science correspondent Miles O’Brien reports.
We return to this story because we feel that this is the most despicable page in the united States history. It spanned two Administrations, those of Bush and Obama. Rick and I personally believe that Fast and Furious had nothing to do with tracing guns and nothing to do with the “War on Drugs”.
We know that from our years of watching the ever slowly movement of the actual elitist Controller to bring our great country to its knees in order to overthrow our Republics Freedoms and Liberties.
In a rational mind there is no lawful purpose for this operation. In what way did this further this Country’s phony 50 year so-called “War on Drugs”?
We have presented, here in the pages of THEI for over 25 years, the evidence of the REAL importers of these Killer Drugs and the mildly stimulant medical hemp, or as their propaganda started calling it by the Mexican name “Marijuana” (for purely financial reasons) so that the citizens back in the 1930’s who knew the many uses of the herb hemp, which was a major crop of the farmers of that time, would not realize the government were taking away one of their most important crops which threaten the elitist families their their major money cows; pharmaceutical, big oil, synthetic cloth and paper products just to name a few.
The major importers of drugs into this Country have been exposed many times; The CIA, The Bush and Clinton Crime Families, and their Cabal of elitist crooked pals.
The Fast and Furious Gun Running Operation was implemented for only two reasons; to blame the legal gun merchants along our Southern Border for putting guns into their partners in crime the drug cartels, to further the Globalist’s continuing agenda of passing gun laws to get guns out of the hands of honest citizens and patriots so that if the citizenry ever wakes up to their major agenda of taking over this Republic to force us into a New World Order consisting of the elitist members of the Secret Societies as the rulers and we the people as slaves to their worldwide plantation had no means to fight back.
Second to insure the ATF, CIA and the other Agencies in their control more black budget money to further the Agenda by getting more Americans Addicted to their imported drugs so the can not do anything to stop the Controllers agenda, or, most likely will not care.
With this in mind we here at THEI will not rest until we wake up as many of our citizens to their many ways of manipulation to achieve their nefarious deeds. Fast and Furious was one of the worst.
Another point. When I decided to return to this most horrible government crime I searched YouTube for “Fast and Furious”. It took me three pages to find the information. The first two and a half pages led to videos on the movie series about fast cars, “Fast and Furious.” It’s more important to lead a search er to entertainment that to this most government disgrace.

Trey Gowdy Gets ATF Special Agent To Admit “Fast & Furious” Obama Administration Scandal!
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) ran a series of “gunwalking” sting operations between 2006 and 2011. These operations were done under the umbrella of Project Gunrunner, a project intended to stem the flow of firearms into Mexico by interdicting straw purchasers and gun traffickers within the United States. “Gun walking” or “letting guns walk” was a tactic whereby the ATF “purposely allowed licensed firearms dealers to sell weapons to illegal straw buyers, hoping to track the guns to Mexican drug cartel leaders.”
The stated goal of allowing these purchases was to continue to track the firearms as they were transferred to higher-level traffickers and key figures in Mexican cartels, with the expectation that this would lead to their arrests and the dismantling of the cartels.
Guns tracked by the ATF have been found at crime scenes on both sides of the Mexico–United States border, and the scene of the death of at least one U.S. federal agent, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. The “gunwalking” operations became public in the aftermath of Terry’s murder.
In 1992, Jim Gray, a conservative judge in conservative Orange County, California, held a press conference during which he recommended that we rethink our drug laws. Back then, it took a great deal of courage to suggest that the war on drugs was a failed policy.
Today, more and more Americans are coming to the realization that prohibition’s costs—whether measured in lives and liberties lost or dollars wasted—far exceed any possible or claimed benefit

“THE FIGHT AGAINST legalized pot is being heavily bankrolled by alcohol and pharmaceutical companies, terrified that they might lose market share.
On the heels of a filing last week that revealed that a synthetic cannabis company is financing the opposition to legal marijuana in Arizona comes a new disclosure this week that a beer industry group made one of the largest donations to an organization set up to defeat legalization in Massachusetts.
The Beer Distributors PAC, an affiliate that represents 16 beer-distribution companies in Massachusetts, gave $25,000 to the Campaign for a Safe and Healthy Massachusetts, tying it for third place among the largest contributors to the anti-pot organization.”
It’s no surprise that the pharmaceutical industry is heavily regulated – after all, lives are on the line. But who writes these regulations, and how much, if any, influence does the industry have on the legislators passing the laws? According to industry critics, the worlds of private money and public policy are closer than you might assume. Watch this Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know video to learn more about the intersection between politics, money and pharmaceutical powers.
This week: A big drop in DEA marijuana plant seizures year over year and a new study illustrates how cannabis can help keep patients from the dangers of pharmaceutical opiates.
