    The ancient Egyptians used it to treat hemorrhoids. Thomas Jefferson puffed it for his migraines. Now, a federal lawsuit in New York is challenging the Trump administration by arguing that marijuana should be legal under federal law.http://nyti.ms/2Hdw3qS

        Big Pharma hates marijuana because it might reduce their profits from pushing deadly, addictive opioids. And politicians hate marijuana because marijuana producers don’t make huge campaign contributions like Big Pharma.

        Opioid addiction kills more Americans every year than all illegal drugs combined. Yet because the big pharmaceutical companies make big campaign donations...there are no consequences for these greedy immoral companies that aggressively push these dangerous, addictive drugs.

        How do they know the Egyptians used it for hemorrhoids, King Tut had a leaf stuck between his cheeks?

        Why don’t they put the money @realDonaldTrump and @GOP are using to fight marijuana legalization to fight the opioid crises instead? The priorities of our current admin make no sense! Give money away to mostly the rich & large corp instead of using for infrastructure an example!

        If the argument is to use marijuana for medical purposes, the "by perscription" makes sense. Just a thought.

        The oil is already being treated as a perscription for medicinal purposes.

        Ojalá que en México sea legal sembrar, producir, transportar y vender Marihuana y otras drogas, porque hasta ahora ustedes consumen como si de eso dependiera su vida y acá estamos poniendo los muertos y viviendo violencia e inseguridad con las armas que llegan del norte.

        They made cigarettes legal! Look what that has done for the population!!! Let’s make all inhaled substances legal and just cut down on all this useless back and forth debate! Right? This topic is ludicrous!!!! Go get high and leave the thinking people alone!
