Confessions of Herbert Kleber

Herbert Kleber under the influence of buprenorphine? I have to get this off my chest. I have been a total shill for the status quo. I twist science in order to make it fit just as those would do in the old USSR to conform to that state's failed economic policies. Consider this.  I make a living bashing Cannabis, in order to support massive human rights violations required for keeping it illegal. Yet when have I ever called for such prohibitionist polices towards alcohol? I am as bad as all of these police unions.  They know how any times they are called to deal with alcohol related violence, and how rarely if ever anything related to Marijuana, asides perhaps from that which has been adulterated with something like PCP.  yet all they care about is their police overtime, busting, excuse me, kidnapping and stealing hapless drug dealers, excuse me, non officially approved pharmacist merchants, and being able to get away with shooting the family pet to death. And I also make a living s

AMA Quack Morris Fishbein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Fishbein#cite_note-2 Morris Fishbein M.D. (July 22, 1889 – September 27, 1976) was a physician with surprisingly little clinical experience but despite this he became the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association ( JAMA ) from 1924 to 1950. In 1961 he became the founding Editor of Medical World News , a magazine for doctors. In 1970 he endowed the Morris Fishbein Center. [1] He was also notable for exposing quacks , notably the goat-gland surgeon John R. Brinkley , and campaigning for regulation of medical devices. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dana-ullman/how-the-ama-got-rich-powe_b_6103720.html excerpt Fishbein was a medical doctor who did not practice medicine. He was, however, an effective advocate for conventional medicine and a vocal critic of unconventional treatments. Shortly after he became head of the AMA, he wrote several books sharply critical of "medical quackery." He called ch

Tom Angell: “But he should think again about how important this issue is. On average, there’s a marijuana possession arrest in the U.S. about every minute. Billions of dollars are wasted on enforcing prohibition laws that don’t stop anyone from using marijuana but do ruin people’s lives with damaging criminal

Commonwealth of Virginia's Contempt For Revelations 22

The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations 6th grade honor student suspended for 1 year, evaluated by a psychiatrist, and charged with Marijuana possession for possessing a tree leaf! http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/16/virginia-school-suspends-an-11-year-old-for-one-year-over-a-leaf-that-wasnt-marijuana/ excerpt - All of this is laid out in jaw-dropping detail by Dan Casey in a story in the Roanoke Times today . While the juvenile court dropped its case against the student after the tests turned up negative, the school system has been far less forgiving. That's because stringent anti-drug policies in school districts in Virginia and elsewhere consider "imitation" drugs to be identical to real ones for disciplinary purposes. The school's lawyer, Jim Guynn, is quoted in the Roanoke Times article defending the policy on the basis that "it's a pretty standard policy across the Commonwealth." In 2011, for insta
