A Kansas grandmother who has been fighting colorectal cancer for the past five years, has been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), not because she had been drinking alcohol, but because she chose to drive after taking Marinol, a drug prescribed by her oncologist to help fight nausea and to try to restore her […]

The fact that America is losing the desperate battle against the horrific opioid epidemic has been reported by many media sources. However, with all the other news going on, it can be easy to lose track of one of the biggest public health crises America is facing today. Every day, an increasing number of people […]

The US Drug Enforcement Administration seized $3.2 billion in cash over a 10-year period from people who were never under criminal investigation, according to a Justice Department inspector general report. Agents confiscated vehicles, jewelry, and houses, but mostly cash. (Article by thedailysheeple.com) “For the majority of the seizures we examined, the department could not verify […]

The streets of Great Britain are turning into a scene from The Walking Dead now that homeless people and others have discovered a new drug called “Spice,” a so-called marijuana alternative (though it has nothing whatsoever to do with real cannabis) that leaves users in a dazed, zombie-like state, and has the potential to cause […]

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has made his personal opinions on cannabis and cannabis products quite clear from the beginning — the man is even reported as having said, “Good people don’t smoke marijuana.” In modern-day America, however, this viewpoint is nothing short of archaic. Sessions has also said that he does not believe legalizing marijuana […]

Everyone knows slavery was officially abolished in the United States in 1865… or was it? Under the terms of 13th Amendment, slavery is prohibited in the United States, except “as a punishment for crimes” – a loophole that has allowed legal slavery in America to continue, and now on a greater scale than ever before. […]

Over a century ago, fake news about medicine began in America. Though there was no television and no internet, there were plenty of poser medical journals, including JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association. Way back in July of 1883, the first edition of JAMA was published, but it wasn’t until the early 1900s […]

The ongoing U.S. opioid epidemic is largely attributable to the pharmaceutical industry in the first place, but Big Pharma now says it may be able to provide a solution: a heroin vaccine. Scientists are working on bringing opioid vaccines to the market in as little as two years, but it remains to be seen whether […]

Now that marijuana is legal in more than half of U.S. states and its medical value has been indisputably demonstrated, attitudes have begun to change. Most Americans now support full legalization and the country seems to be headed squarely in that direction. It’s hard to imagine anything that could stop that momentum now. That being […]

Confirming what many people have long suspected, a former top DEA representative has admitted that the agency knows marijuana is not dangerous, but continues to deny this in order to make money. Belita Nelson told a group of doctors and nurses at the Marijuana for Medical Professionals Conference in Denver that the DEA’s philosophy was: […]

History has been made! It’s on the books. CNN ran positive news all day on inauguration day for the newly installed and sworn in President Donald J. Trump. Sure, we all know now that CNN is the fake news headquarters of the USA, but as the saying goes, “keep your friends close and your enemies […]

Recently, the state’s highest court ordered prosecutors to drop a significant portion of the more than 24,000 drug convictions to resolve a scandal – where thousands of people were wrongfully convicted on drug charges in Massachusetts – that has plagued the legal system since 2012. For years, a state-employed chemist named Annie Dookhan has falsified […]

It’s no secret that cannabis is illegal in the United States; the controversial decision of the DEA to keep marijuana as a schedule I drug in mid-2016 has been much-talked about. And their more recent announcement that cannabis extracts — including CBD extract which has been used medicinally to treat intractible seizures in young children […]

Leave it to Big Pharma to find a way to turn a natural, effective, plant-based healing substance into something patentable and deadly. That’s right; the guys in the pharmaceutical labs are so desperate to develop a drug that delivers the same therapeutic benefits as cannabis – under their own exclusive money-making patent, of course – […]

The current trend seems to be one that in states where cannabis is still prohibited, alcohol and pain pill abuse are considerably higher than in states where patients have legal access to the therapeutic plant. But nowhere is prohibition wreaking more havoc than in West Virginia, where abuse of prescription drugs, opiates in particular, is […]
