US Asked To Stop False Information on Medical Pot
US Asked To Stop False Information on Medical Pot
By Carol J. Williams and Maura Dolan Reporting from San Francisco and Los Angeles CN Source: Los Angeles Times April 14, 2009 Citing "overwhelming" evidence that marijuana eases pain and anxiety for the chronically ill, medicinal pot advocates told a federal appeals panel Tuesday that the federal government should be stopped from spreading "false information" about marijuana. As was argued in the debate over whether stem cell research should be resumed, Americans for Safe Access cast the Bush administration's opposition to any legalized use of marijuana as being shaped by conservative sentiments instead of hard facts. continued... It's really hard to be truthful. pete@drugwarrant.com Tuesday, April 14, 2009 The ASA Lawsuit against HHS over the Data Quality Act (see Saturday's post) was argued today in Circuit Court. ASA is, of course, asking that HHS simply not give false information about medical marijuana on their website and materials. The government's defense? Justice Department lawyer Alisa Klein told the appeals court panel that the government shouldn't be forced to defend the accuracy of "countless pieces of information" in its massive archives. U.S. Circuit Court Judge Marsha S. Berzon, an appointee of President Clinton, said the law at issue in the case was "amazing" because it did appear to require the government to correct all inaccurate statements, a result she called "troubling." Boy, it sure is asking a lot to want the Department of Health and Human Services of the United States Government to give out information that's, you know, accurate. It's sort of like wanting NASA to use accurate numbers for computing trajectories, or asking the Treasury Department to use accurate information for assessing the health of the economy. Should we just say, "Oh, that's too hard." ![]() The Drug Czar is required by law to lie The Pope Harkens to Lies Potent Pot: Lies are all You Need ![]() Rare Vietnam Brisk Tea "Acapulco Gold and Vietnam blend" There's nothing you can do that can be done.
