   Can the sheriff act any more like an elementary school child ? Whispering and snickering while someone is talking? You are in a professional setting, act like it ! Good try with your 3rd grade graphs and buckets of mis-informed scare tactics. Good thing we have Mr. Morgan to point out this nonsense. Grow up !

   I think its is time for a congressional investigation into a history of blocking legitimate research. When consider the La Guardia Committee and Nixon’s own commissioned Shaffer report both with scientific evidence that Nixon refused and trashed in his vendetta against the counter culture CNN
   On August 14, 1970, the Assistant Secretary of Health, Dr. Roger O. Egeberg wrote a letter recommending the plant, marijuana, be classified as a schedule 1 substance, and it has remained that way for nearly 45 years. My research started with a careful reading of that decades old letter. What I found was unsettling. Egeberg had carefully chosen his words:
   "Since there is still a considerable void in our knowledge of the plant and effects of the active drug contained in it, our recommendation is that marijuana be retained within schedule 1 at least until the completion of certain studies now underway to resolve the issue."
   Not because of sound science, but because of its absence, marijuana was classified as a schedule 1 substance. Again, the year was 1970. Egeberg mentions studies that are underway, but many were never completed. As my investigation continued, however, I realized Egeberg did in fact have important research already available to him, some of it from more than 25 years earlier
