All I had to do was look at this first shot and can see where the disorder actually is. Just being honest. I read the comments and well ..The majority tell it like it is. A sad joke.

the DMS is bull*&^& with no scientific evidence they meet once a year to make up new names and hand in hand with big pharma. I am sure they have GRIEF on the list now as pshycatric as well

There is a joke among Mental Health Professionals that if you try hard enough, everyone has a diagnosisable mental disorder according to the DSM-IV. Caffine addiction is a listed disorder! There is mounting scientific evidence that marijuana not only helps cancer and MS patients, but may fight brain cancer, help diabetics save thier eyesight (leading cause of blindness in America), lower blood sugar and blood pressure levels, and is overall a very safe drug with MANY great medical uses and very few side effects. Legalize it, regulate it like alcohol, tax it , (it is our largest cash crop) and you could end the deficit, empty our jails, free our police for real crimes, fix the nation's health insurance crisis, secure the Social Security program, have the money for real treatment for people with real drug problems, and still have enough left over for added social programs for schools, the homeless, etc. It would not just be the tax money from marijuana itself, but the savings from not paying 20K a year to keep a non-violent pot smoker in jail, the savings in the time, paperwork and efforts of the police and our court system, and the millions spent on victims of serious crimes that the police can not fight now because they spend so much time on pot law enforcement. Other countries have seem the huge benefits of stopping the failed war on pot smokers. Use of a vaportron can heat pot to 180 degree's and release the THC without burning the pot itself. This takes the one medical downside, irritating smoke, out of the picture for everyone. Marijuana smokers must do what the Gay and Lesbian community finally did to end it's prohibition - stand up and say you smoke, and you want it legalized and the benefits of taxing it.

read the book years ago - The Emperor Wore No Clothes.
Hemp is superior to cotton so cotton growers didn't want hemp.
Dupont got the german patent for nylon, and didn't want hemp for competition.
How to get rid of it. Create false information that marijuana was as bad as herion,
big brother and big corporation, hand and hand again.
