The DEA Thinks All Kratom Use Is Abuse
Post Date: 2016-09-07 07:44:02 by Deckard

The agency says the psychoactive leaf must be banned because it has never been approved. At the end of this month, kratom will be illegal throughout the United States thanks to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which last week announced that a ban is necessary "to avoid an imminent hazard to public safety." The way the DEA reached that conclusion provides an illuminating window on the prohibitionist mindset, which dresses pharmacological phobias in the garb of science. Kratom is a pain-relieving leaf that acts as a stimulant or a sedative, depending on the dose. But the most important thing to know about kratom, if you want to understand the DEA's reasoning, is that ...
The American Legion Wants Marijuana Reclassified to Help Treat PTSD [Full Thread]

These aren't your filthy hippies and stoners looking for an excuse to toke (not that there's anything wrong with that!): The American Legion is calling for the federal government to reclassify marijuana to acknowledge its potential benefits as a medical treatment. As Jacob Sullum previously noted, The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is stubbornly refusing to change the federal classification of marijuana as a drug that has no "accepted medical use" until science proves them wrong. Fortunately they're easing off on the Catch-22 situation that has resulted in this classification making it extremely difficult for researchers to perform the very scientific testing that could ...

Perhaps the timing is merely more of government’s stunning incompetence, with a bureaucrat somewhere mistaking September 1 for September 11. Or perhaps the State’s officiates are already preparing as one of their holiest days approaches, much as Christians meditate during Lent. At any rate, last Thursday, September 1, “Transportation Security Administration officials from Washington Dulles International Airport” held a “ceremony,” during which they “unveiled a memorial piece of limestone taken from the Pentagon following the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001.” This bit of rubble, “measuring 31 inches long, 13 inches deep, 4 inches high and ...

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices.” ― Edward R. Murrow We’ve walked a strange and harrowing road since September 11, 2001, littered with the debris of our once-vaunted liberties. We have gone from a nation that took great pride in being a model of a representative democracy to being a model of how to persuade the citizenry to march in lockstep with a police state. In doing so, we have proven Osama Bin Laden right. He warned that “freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. government will lead the American people in — and the West in general — into an unbearable hell and a choking life.” These ...
Bernie Sanders Says 15% Req For Debates Is Too High, Johnson Should Be In

Getting to fifteen percent in the polls with one percent of the media coverage the other two candidates take for granted is a herculean task. Despite the challenge, Gary Johnson has managed to make it to ten percent in the average of the five polls that the Commission on Presidential Debates will use to determine debate eligibility. Johnson has made it two thirds of the way there but pressure is mounting to let him in anyways. As Bernie Sanders says, the fifteen percent requirement for the Presidential debates is too high and Gary Johnson should be in them. Separate polls taken over the past few weeks have asked voters whether or not they want Gary Johnson in the Presidential debates. The ...
Campaign Claims Pollen Caused Hillary’s “Worst Coughing Fit Ever”… Despite a Clear Forecast

This article was written by Tyler Durden and originally published at Zero Hedge. Editor’s Comment: By now, everyone should know. Hillary is either too sick, or too evil to be trusted in another position of power, especially the highest office in the land. Clearly there is a cover-up (and much more) at work here. Strangely, despite having very “low energy” support among the actual American population, Hillary’s every flaw is covered up, blacked out or justified by the corporate media. There remains the clear suggestion that this is not an election, per se, at all, but something more like an arranged marriage between a tyrant and a population that has lost to the levers ...

Greta Van Susteren’s Surprise Exit From Fox News Triggers “Who’s Next” Talk by Lisa de Moraes September 6, 2016 In the wake of today’s surprise news that Greta Van Susteren had exited Fox News Channel effective immediately, chatter turned to whether it might be the start of a “key man” exodus. FNC announced this morning that Thursday had been Van Susteren’s last day and that FNC senior political analyst Brit Hume was taking over her time slot today, through the presidential election. Van Susteren, meanwhile, took to Facebook to explain that she took advantage of that much-discussed clause in her contract allowing her to leave now, explaining ...
Homeless Mother Who Sent Six-Year-Old Son To Better School In The Wrong Town Sent To Prison For Five Years

A homeless mother who pleaded guilty to fraudulently enrolling her six-year-old son in the wrong school district has been sentenced to five years in prison. According to Graham Smith with Daily Mail, Tonya McDowell sent her son to an elementary school in Norwalk, Connecticut, instead of her home city of Bridgeport. The 34-year-old, who was homeless when she was charged with felony larceny last year, said she wanted the best education possible for the boy. McDowell entered her plea at Norwalk Superior Court under the Alford Doctrine, which means she does not admit guilt but concedes she does not believe she will win the case. Even though she was homeless, authorities ...

Birmingham, AL — Although the governor of Alabama formally apologized to the Indian government last year and promised that justice would be served, Madison police officer Eric Parker, the cop who left an innocent elderly grandfather paralyzed, not only escaped justice — but is now back on the job.In what can only be described as the epitome of everything wrong with police in America today, this brutal monster, who attacked and left severely disabled, an innocent old man out for a walk, will have his badge reinstated, his gun given back, and put out on the streets to strike again.In a statement Tuesday morning, by Major Jim Cooke, the acting Madison police chief, it was ...
Laws Are For the Little People: Clinton Charity Ignores Disclosure Laws for Foreign Donations

Writing for Scripps News, Mark Greenblatt takes New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to task for his reluctance to enforce state law against the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Health Access Initiative, which has ignored the requirements for documenting foreign donations for years. Greenblatt explains early in his lengthy report that New York has more stringent requirements for reporting donations than the federal government: The Internal Revenue Service has long required charities to disclose on their federal tax returns the total amount of contributions they receive from all governments, foreign and domestic. The federal form does not require a charity to publicly identify its ...

In Laos, Obama Apologizes for U.S. Bombings

President Barack Obama continued his international apology tour for American deeds overseas, traveling to the Asian country of Laos to deliver a speech. Obama acknowledged that the United States dropped more than two million tons of bombs in the country, intervening in the country’s civil war. He sorrowfully noted that “villages and entire valleys were obliterated” as a result of the bombing, including the “ancient Plain of Jars.” “That conflict was another reminder that, whatever the cause, whatever our intentions, war inflicts a terrible toll, especially on innocent men, women and children,” Obama said. “Today, I stand with you in acknowledging ...

I, for one, welcome the unofficial end of summer. I’ll miss the Olympics and fancy tomato salads. But it’s an election year, and Labor Day is usually accompanied by a return to more substantive news cycles — along with a significant increase in the amount of polling. That was certainly true Tuesday morning, which brought a bevy of new data, including about a half-dozen new national polls and a 50-state poll from SurveyMonkey (conducted in conjunction with The Washington Post). People are focusing on the flashier results among these polls: that CNN’s poll shows Donald Trump narrowly ahead among likely voters, for instance, while SurveyMonkey has Hillary Clinton tied with ...
Here’s The Real Reason Glenn Beck Just Called Me a 13-Year-Old

I am honored. Glenn Beck, the Cheetos Duke himself, has specifically called me out. I guess Beck needed a break from a holiday weekend of reviewing The Blaze’s dire traffic numbers. In an article on his website and then in a post on Facebook, Beck accused me of being “cold and distant from any feelings of compassion and basic kindness” and “causing hurt.” Beck has no real reason to wade in to this debate. The real reason he is attacking me in his trademark pathetic way is that I recently revealed just how parlous the financial state of his outlet The Blaze is, in my own Facebook post a week ago. That’s why Beck is mad —I’m the only one talking ...

In 1964, Phyllis Schlafly of Alton, Illinois, mother of six, wrote and published a slim volume entitled “A Choice Not an Echo.” Backing the candidacy of Sen. Barry Goldwater, the book was a polemic against the stranglehold the eastern liberal establishment had held on the Republican nomination for decades. Schlafly went on to lead the campaign to derail the Equal Rights Amendment, which, with 35 states having ratified, was just three states short of being added to our Constitution. Pro-ERA forces never added another state. Phyllis, who, at 20 was testing weapons at a munitions plant in World War II, shot it dead. At 92, the founder of Eagle Forum has a new book out, published ...
Obama disrespected on final Asia trip

On President Obama’s final trip to Asia, his impending lame-duck status is showing. Mr. Obama, who arrived in Laos late Monday night to become the first U.S. president ever to visit the Southeast Asian country, is encountering more than his usual share of friction and confrontation on his 10th trip to the region. It started with his arrival at the airport in China, where Chinese officials failed to provide a portable staircase for Mr. Obama to disembark from the upper door of Air Force One with the typical grandiose visibility befitting a visiting head of state. Instead, the president emerged from a smaller staircase in the belly of the aircraft, and many saw it as a deliberate sign ...
The campus crusade against Christ

The Christian experience on college campuses is one in which our beliefs are not only rejected, but actively persecuted. Christians are the most oppressed group on campus. Only about six percent of professors say the Bible is the “Word of God,” while almost ten times as many say it is an “ancient book of fables, legends, history, and moral precepts.” The same study found that the majority of professors in the fields of psychology, biology and mechanical engineering are atheists or agnostics, and teach their course materials from secular lenses, reported the Huffington Post.

A safe space for Black CSLA students …’ California State University Los Angeles recently rolled out segregated housing for black students. The arrangement comes roughly nine months after the university’s Black Student Union issued a set of demands in response to what its members contend are frequent “racist attacks” on campus, such as “racially insensitive remarks” and “microaggressions” by professors and students. One demand was for a “CSLA housing space delegated for Black students.” “[It] would provide a cheaper alternative housing solution for Black students. This space would also serve as a safe space for Black CSLA ...
EXCLUSIVE – Kathleen Willey: I Overheard White House Staff Teaching Hillary Her Trademark ‘I Don’t Recall’ Defense

Kathleen Willey, a White House aide during the Clinton administration, stated during a radio interview on Sunday night that she personally heard the White House Counsel advise Hillary Clinton twenty-two years ago to tell government investigators she could not recall events related to numerous scandals that were being probed at the time. Willey in 1993 served as a volunteer aid working in the White House mail room and later in the social office. In early 1994, she took a paid position in the White House counsel’s office, and it is there, she says, that she overheard the directive to Hillary. Willey, of course, would later become ensnared in the Paula Jones lawsuit at the Monica ...

WikiLeaks Exposes Hypocrisy Of An Alcohol Industry Fighting Marijuana Legalization

Not that this came as a big surprise, but “Big Alcohol” is fighting the marijuana legalization movement. If marijuana were to become legalized in all 50 states, alcohol manufacturers would see a large loss in revenue. As Jeremy Kossen with Clear Choice reported: It should be no surprise: “Big Booze” hates cannabis. Cannabis, notably safer than alcohol (by every measure), poses a threat to the alcohol industry’s bottom line. So it should come as no surprise that a recent report by Marijuana.com citing leaks from infamous whistle-blower website — WikiLeaks — shows that the alcohol industry is spending big bucks to get members of Congress to promote ...

A man identifying as a sovereign citizen resisted arrest during a traffic stop and attempted to reach for a gun, a news release from Slidell police says. According to the release, officers initiated a traffic stop after observing a green Ford Ranger driven by James Doyle Webb violating several traffic laws on Fremaux Avenue. Webb, 54, 5129 1st Ave. D, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, ignored the officers’ request to see his driver’s license, registration and insurance, instead asking for the officers’ names and badge numbers, the release says. After providing their names and badge numbers, the release says, the officers again requested to see Webb’s documents, which he ...
Looking through the smokescreen: Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy record deserves scrutiny

ANALYSIS/OPINION: Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, her allies, and others have declared Donald Trump unfit for the presidency because of his lack of national security credentials. American voters should carefully look through that smokescreen to see the global damage resulting from President Barack Obama and Secretary Clinton’s “smart” foreign policies, and how she behaved in office before casting their presidential ballots. On the surface, Mrs. Clinton’s resume appears impressive. She served the nation as first lady for eight years, as twice-elected U.S. senator from New York for eight years, and as the 67th U.S. Secretary of State during President ...
