Liberties Union from 1978 to 2001, told me.
“Without marijuana, the use of drugs is
negligible, and you can’t justify the law-
enforcement and prison spending on the other
drugs. Their use is vanishingly small. I always
thought that if you could cut the marijuana
head off the beast, the drug war couldn’t be
sustained.”

Fifty Years of Israeli Cannabis Research Funded By US Government
Research Funded By US Government
Cannabis Law Reformation is a topic on
a lot of ballots and agendas these days.
With all the research and testimonials
about the numerous benefits of THC,
CBD, Cannabis, and Hemp, it is hard not
to wonder why this has not been on the
hot plate sooner.
It seems as if all this research on the
benefits is just surfacing when the plant
has been in use for centuries.
The US has been reluctantly funding research
on marijuana, cannabis, THC, and CBD in
very limited areas over the past few decades.
The research the government
seems to want to fund locally is all based on
the negative side effects of marijuana use, not
the benefits. There are very few projected
funded federally each year. Less than 300
people are said to participate.
