Official narrative
The DEA’s position on marijuana has remained relatively unchanged since 2011, when it produced The DEA Position on Marijuana[1] which ignored the range of long established medical uses and cited “getting arrested,” “gum disease” and “disobedience” as evidence of the drug’s harm.
DEA's Profiteering
Jesse Ventura termed the DEA "Judge and Jury on Marijuana", after their unilaterally decision that cannabis should remain in the same legal classification as heroin - deadly, addictive and with no known medical value. As he observed, it was obvious that they would do this, to protect their income stream.[2]
