DEA's DIRTY TRICK

If the US Congress puts MARIJUANA on Schedule II, PATIENTS WILL HAVE TO GET A NEW PRESCRIPTION every MONTH.

Medical researchers have asked that marijuana be taken off of ALL four US drug schedules. This is because the DEA MAKES marijuana RESEARCH ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. Plus the extremely promising marijuana CURES for CANCER and for epilepsy will require that the researcher work with the farmer to find the most effective marijuana medication.

The DEA has instituted NEW RULES for Schedule II drugs. Their excuse is the 18,000 opiate prescription drug deaths per year. Just about all opiate drugs are now on Schedule II. The only one left on Schedule III is codeine.

What they do not tell you is that most of the opiate deaths come from the ACETAMINOPHEN in CODEINE, which causes LIVER DAMAGE AND DEATH if a patient in great pain takes too many pills.

Drug companies have formulated new pain medication that cuts down on, or leaves out, the acetaminophen. These drugs are on Schedule II.

Since September 2014, patients with debilitating, progressive, intractable pain are required to see their doctors EVERY MONTH, to get a ONE MONTH SUPPLY of Schedule II drugs. They can not fax, email, or phone in the prescription.

I honestly believe that this is a planned attempt to keep people in abject pain, to destroy Obamacare by forcing the disabled and dying to see a doctor WAY MORE THAN MEDICALLY NECESSARY, and to STOP MEDICAL MARIJUANA.

IMHO, this is part of a concerted attempt to KEEP THE TAX FREE DRUG MONEY flowing.
