Back in 1981, DEA Administrative Law Judge Francis Young conducted days of hearings regarding the rescheduling of marijuana from 'most dangerous' to 'less dangerous'.
At the end of those hearings he declared marijuana to be "the safest therapeutic substance known to man."
The DEA refused to reschedule it. Corruption and ignorance rule at DEA
Now with Sessions in charge, things will only get worse.

You're not going to eliminate Big Pharma. It's here, it's real, and it has government relations under control. Neither are you going to get rid of the military industrial complex, for the same reasons and more.

It's ruining big Pharma's profits, if you were Big Pharma you'd do the same.
The plaintiffs, including an Iraq War veteran, a child with a seizure disorder and an ex-NFL player, claimed that the CSA’s classification of cannabis as a Schedule I substance — a designation reserved for the most dangerous substances including heroin, '___' and mescaline — is so “irrational” that it violates the U.S. Constitution. In dismissing the case, Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein took pains to “emphasize that this decision is not on the merits of plaintiffs’ claim[s],” attorney Michael S. Hiller said in a statement. Instead, the judge ruled that that the DEA has authority and before bringing the lawsuit the plaintiffs were required to exhaust administrative remedies including petitioning the DEA to reschedule cannabis. “Resigning the plaintiffs to the petitioning administrative process is tantamount to a death sentence for those patients who need cannabis to live,” Hiller said in the statement. “The time has come for the courts to abandon decades-old precedent, notched with obsolete legal technicalities, and catch up with modern science and contemporary principles of constitutional law.”

I just started using CBD salve about 2 months ago on my feet. I've had gout for about 10 years now, but that salve has my feet feeling great.
