Obama's drug czar declares marijuana has no medical value

Dear HighMountainSkier,

Quote:

“Marijuana is dangerous and has no medicinal benefit.”
— White House drug czar Gil Kerlikowske, at a Fresno, Calif., press conference yesterday

Not again.

In fact — and it's getting a little tiresome to keep repeating it — the esteemed Institute of Medicine, American Nurses Association, American Public Health Association, American Academy of HIV Medicine, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Lymphoma Foundation of America, American Academy of HIV Medicine, and dozens of other medical organizations recognize marijuana's medical value.

What's more, President Obama's own statements on the campaign trail about marijuana's medical efficacy run counter to his new drug czar's statements yesterday.
We need to stop this in its tracks. Would you please speak out against this ridiculous, outdated argument:

1. Please use MPP's online action center to e-mail the president about the drug czar's statement.

2. Please call the drug czar's office at (202) 395-6700 to politely complain that we're still hearing this sort of nonsense.

We need to make sure the drug czar receives the message loud and clear that the anti-science Bush era is over.
Thank you,

Rob Kampia

I got this in an email from MPP today. Let's let this fucker know how we feel. Click here to send them off a message:

when laws like this are overturned read: “Legalization” not in Drug Czar’s vocabulary, because it legally cannot be there | NORML Daily Audio Stash

Signed that. If there is no medical benefit from marijuana, then whey did they create Marinol?!?!?

I saw this on digg's front page earlier, make sure to vote it up.

I really do not understand why he would say this, it's almost like he is trolling us hoping to keep the discussion alive. If he truly believes that then he should know saying it is going to do nothing piss people off and heat up the discussion while he loses credibility.

Or maybe he just had his first meeting with big pharma and they explained to him how things are going to work.

The drug czar is required by law to lie about drugs. It's a ton of bullshit, but that at least explains this outrageous lie.
