Johnson was a popular governor who was instrumental in getting NM's medical marijuana measure passed. Read more here and please support Johnson in his bid for the presidency. This country needs him badly! Federal Persecution of Medical Marijuana and Patients Continues Reneging on its February 2009 promise to end federal prosecution of medical cannabis dispensaries and patients, the Obama administration has instead increased federal raids. Before we can expect to have any hope of success in our mission, federal law governing medical cannabis must be changed--beginning with the 'rescheduling' of cannabis/marijuana. Under the Controlled Substance Act of 1970, the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) has established a rating system. This ''Schedule' designates every drug's relative safety and risk of abuse, with Schedule I being the most dangerous substances. These drugs are considered by our federal government to have no known medical use. Heroin is on Schedule I. So is cannabis/marijuana. Schedule II lists cocaine and methamphetamine as substances having limited medical value. By this logic, cannabis/marijuana is considered to be more dangerous than cocaine and methamphetamine!
Schedule I drugs are totally banned and cannot be prescribed at all, while far more dangerous drugs are legally available at every pharmacy.
