DEA

The DEA is mad that people have learned about the medical benefits of weed.

There's a lot more to the story than we're being told.

This week on the New World Next Week: the UK gov can now legally lie in court; the Pentagon buries a report on Pentagon waste; and dejected Dems start a pledge to not pay taxes.

In an interview with Rolling Stone published November 29, Barack Obama said that he doesn’t think legalizing marijuana would end America’s drug problem, but he believes it should be regulated like cigarettes and alcohol. The outgoing President added that regulating marijuana is a wiser way of handling the issue than continuing to treat it as a Schedule I drug. [1]

Here's why:

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced on October 4th, 2016 that plans to reduce opioid manufacturing by 25% next year are underway, citing a shrinking market and the epidemic of abuse as primary reasons.
The official change, or Final Order, has been published in the Federal Register. And, as The Verge reports:

On October 12, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said in a notice to be published in the Federal Register that it has formally withdrawn plans to ban kratom, an herb used by many as a natural medicine.
In August, the DEA outlined plans to classify mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, two active compounds in kratom, as Schedule I substances, alongside heroin, LSD, and (inexplicably) marijuana.

In a stunning reversal, the DEA has withdrawn its proposal to ban kratom.

Cops wearing cameras catch a case of "contagious accountability"; More towns are telling cops to stop busting pot; and the people pushed back the Feds on the kratom ban.
