Talking Points Memo<\/a> reports that the Feds will fund a study to investigate the usefulness of marijuana for treating PTS;<\/p>\n

The Department of Health and Human Services’ decision surprised marijuana advocates who have struggled for decades to secure federal approval for research into the drug’s medical uses.<\/p>\n

The proposal from the University of Arizona was long ago cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, but researchers had been unable to purchase marijuana from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The agency’s Mississippi research farm is the only federally-sanctioned source of the drug.<\/p>\n

In a letter last week, HHS cleared the purchase of medical marijuana by the studies’ chief financial backer, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, which supports medical research and legalization of marijuana and other drugs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I expect that phonies will overwhelm the program. Take, for example, Wayward Bill Chengelis<\/a> who pretended to have PTS from an imaginary tour of Vietnam and used his phony tales and his own pretend research on pot-use easing the pretend-symptoms of his pretend-condition. We have Matthis Chiroux who is a known drug user and he pretends that he has PTS from hearing other people talk about their deployments. We have Jeremy Bergren<\/a> who caught pretend PTS because his unit deployed without him. We have Zachary Findlay-Maddox<\/a> who caught the PTS because he could see the smoke from the Pentagon on 9-11 from about seven miles away and his pizzaman looked like bin Laden. We have Joseph Cryer<\/a> who is on 100% disability with VA from a pretend invasion of Libya he made and, of course, he has PTS. Well, that should be plenty of examples, and that’s just from our own files. <\/p>\n

So, if you really have PTS, by all means seek treatment and maybe this works, but expect a long line ahead of you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
