DEA to legalize marijuana chemical...

[OrigSEOH]

...for Big Pharma but keep it a crime for everyone else


Today, yet another example emerges as the DEA moves to legalize THC in Big Pharma's pills while simultaneously making it illegal for anyone else to grow, sell or possess THC. The DEA, you see, is working to change the classification of THC from a schedule I substance (like street heroin) to a schedule III drug (pharmaceuticals). So if Big Pharma grows its own marijuana plants, extracts the THC and puts it into a "pot pill," those pills will be perfectly legal. They're already FDA approved, actually, when made with the synthetic version of THC.

Holy crap. So even states that haven't legalized marijuana will be able to sell "pot pills" or "thc inhalers" or whatever?

Like the article says, it's all about big pharma taking over the drug trade. It's going to be waaaay overpriced.

This should be called the "super patent." Not only do the firms have to get special govt privilege to enter the market, but non-favored parties face lengthy prison term for attempting to compete. The state is taking one step closer to becoming nothing more than a damn street gang.
