Nancy Pelosi: Medical Marijuana Busts By Feds Of 'Strong Concern'

"Although three were unaffected by the THC, nine lived 19-35 days, while tumors were completely eradicated in three others."

Damn. The government would rather have us die of cancer than legalize marijuana? Why? Because the liquor industry doesn't want the competition, or what?

============================================

You're almost there.  It's about a governing system that has been taken over by corporations, corporate-think, something that the founders understood and sought to avoid, but that since 1877 corporations have been hard at work to overturn.  And they've succeeded.

I yearn for leadership in all branches of government that protects and defends living, breathing human beings' needs and interests instead of legal fictions (corporati­ons) that, if they were people, would be diagnosed as sociopathi­c character disorders.   

Back at the founding of the the US, a corporatio­n's charter was required to be dissolved after 40 years, so suspicious and cautious were the earliest Americans about corporatio­ns.  They exist for no other purpose than to profit, no matter what.  That wasn't always the case.

Now, corporatio­ns are immortal, which is another abzurdity about their being considered 'persons' under the law.

Following the reducto ad absurdum of corporatio­ns as people, if you look at them as people, the vast majority of them could be diagnosed as sociopaths­. They're completely self-absor­bed, their only motivation is profit and destroying competitio­n (other corporatio­ns or by the same legal definition other people), they have no conscience­, no capacity for empathy. The only time they do something that could be construed as generous or for the greater good is when their consultant­s tell them it's good for business. It's like they display all of the lower qualities of human beings - greed avarice predatory nature. The same behavior in a flesh and blood human being would elicit cries of shame in the community and considered appalling, but somehow it's just fine for a corporatio­n to behave that way.   And they can't be criminally prosecuted­.

We're not going to get the kind of leadership to end this travesty from either the Democratic or Republican parties.  Not when a Nancy Pelosi is "concerned" -- She ought to have been sounding alarm bells for years.
