President Donald Trump confirmed he and his administration are considering reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug. “We’re looking at reclassification, and we’ll decide over the next — I would say over the next few weeks, and that determination hopefully will be the right one. It’s a very complicated subject.”
There is a lot to say and learn about marijuana as a medicine and for recreational purposes. Classified as a Schedule 1 drug, marijuana is listed alongside heroin and LSD as “drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.” This is pathetic beyond all reason, starting with the fact that Tylenol is at least 1000 times more dangerous and much more likely to send a person to the emergency room.
mRNA shots should be classified as a Schedule 1 drug, way ahead of marijuana in terms of safety. That said, marijuana is a drug and has some side effects, some of which are pleasurable and a helpful aid in navigating through life, but on the other side, medical marijuana is a beneficial medicine, even for cancer.
Is it safe? It’s a thousand times safer than most drugs. Still, it cannot be denied that there are some downsides, including addiction with chronic use, inflammation, and harm done to overall physiology. A case can be made that some heavy users do compromise themselves mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. But people can do this with or without drugs.
“Marijuana has remarkably low toxicity, and lethal doses in humans have not been described. This is in stark contrast to a number of commonly prescribed medications used for similar purposes, including opiates, anti-emetics, anti-depressants, and muscle relaxants, not to mention legal substances used recreationally, including tobacco and alcohol,” writes Dr. Gregory T. Carter, Clinical Associate Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Washington School of Medicine. Notice Dr. Carter said low toxicity, not no toxicity.
It is probably half the States that have legalized marijuana for medical purposes because it is an excellent multipurpose medicine, and the list grows of States approving its recreational use, so the federal government must get on board with a humane approval of a popular and in many cases necessary natural substance that can save lives.
“I was diagnosed with prostate cancer on October 18, 2014. My doctor advised me that my only options were to get a prostatectomy, have radiation seeds implanted in my prostate, or receive regular external beam radiation. I declined; I knew there had to be other options. I scoured the Internet and discovered a wealth of information about cannabis oil curing cancer. I was able to obtain some medical marijuana oil (Rick Simpson Oil) and consumed the recommended dosage by mid-January. On January 26, I had a cancer reassessment, which consisted of an MRI with a state-of-the-art Tesla 3 MRI machine. Results – NO SIGN OF CANCER! CANCER FREE! One of the things that helped me while going through all this was reading the testimonials and the success stories of those who have used the oil and were cured, also with a good diet. Now that this wonderful oil has cured me, I feel I need to let others know as well.”
Real Medicine, You Can Grow Yourself
Marijuana was the best medicine for 3-year-old Cash Hyde of Missoula, Montana. The boy’s parents defied doctors’ orders—and Montana law—to get their hands on the medicinal treatment their son needed after he was diagnosed with recurring brain tumors at 22 months old. “I’ve had law enforcement threatening to kick my door down, but I would have done anything to keep Cashy alive,” Mike Hyde, the boy’s father, said to ABCNews.com.
Dr. Donald Abrams, a cancer specialist at San Francisco General Hospital, says, “Every day I see people with nausea secondary to chemotherapy, depression, trouble sleeping, pain,” he says. “I can recommend one drug [marijuana] for all those things, as opposed to writing five different prescriptions.”
At 16, Kristen Peskuski was suffering from joint inflammation and an array of autoimmune conditions, which made her organs and other tissues swell, including interstitial cystitis and lupus. She was prescribed over 40 different anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, and painkilling medications to combat the symptoms. Still struggling to bring the symptoms under control, Kristen developed steroid toxicity. She was told that the most she could hope for was reduced discomfort, and with luck, she might make it to her 30th birthday. Seeking alternative treatments, she began juicing raw cannabis leaves every day, and within two months, Kristen’s back pain had been eliminated, and she had stopped using any other painkillers.
At two years old, Amber was diagnosed with terminal brain tumors. Her mother was told that with treatment, Amber had a 10% chance of survival. After surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, the tumors were still spreading. Her parents were advised to take their child home, make her comfortable, and prepare for the inevitable. A month later, her parents reported a startling change. The tumors had decreased in size and number. The family had been juicing cannabis leaves and feeding their baby a few ounces of the juice each day.
My Medical Marijuana books are revolutionary in a medical sense. They reveal and champion the use of marijuana in clinical practice for adults and children for a wide range of diseases, including cancer and diabetes. Cannabinoid medicine holds tremendous power to alleviate human suffering, whereas the law and government are hell bent on creating suffering in men, women, and children with their genetic vaccines.
Marijuana is Natural Chemotherapy
Researchers at the University of Milan in Naples, Italy, reported in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics that non-psychoactive compounds in marijuana inhibited the growth of glioma cells in a dose-dependent manner, and selectively targeted and killed malignant cells through apoptosis. “Non-psychoactive CBD (cannabidiol) produces a significant anti-tumor activity both in vitro and in vivo, thus suggesting a possible application of CBD as an antineoplastic agent.”
Cannabinoids offer cancer patients a therapeutic option in the treatment of highly invasive cancers. The medical science is strongly in favor of hemp oil as a primary cancer therapy, not just in a supportive role to control the side effects of chemotherapy. Researchers at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute (CPMCRI) combined the non-psychoactive cannabis compound, Cannabidiol (CBD), with Δ9-tetrahyrdocannabinol (Δ9-THC), the primary psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. They found the combination boosts the inhibitory effects of Δ9-THC on glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive form of brain tumor, and the cancer that claimed the life of Senator Ted Kennedy.
Knocking on death’s door, 10-year-old Joey Perez was slowly dying. The potpourri of prescription medications he’d consumed since the age of five had damaged his body beyond repair – the side effects were killing him. Joey was diagnosed with autism at 18 months old. At one point, he was taking six different medications – up to three times a day. As a result of the side effects, Joey became malnourished and was diagnosed with anorexia. Every day, his condition got worse. His eyes were sunken in, and you could easily see all the bones in his chest. He was refusing to eat.
At the end of his allopathic treatments, his medical prognosis was a high probability of death within six months. Today, Joey is thriving, and his mother has been on The Good Morning Show to share that the Compassionate Use of Medical Marijuana saved her son’s life. “Although medical marijuana is not known to be a cure for autism, it has been proven to facilitate ‘life’ for my son and has ushered him into his most progressive developmental period ever.
Before we began to give him treatments of oral marijuana, he was a danger to himself and others. He had suffered from anxiety, OCD, and aggression since an early age. At the age of five, Joey was prescribed the first of many ineffective, harmful medications. The medications he was prescribed at that time worked for about a year, but Joey refused to eat, and that was the beginning of their story. As a result of the serious side effects, Joey became malnourished and was diagnosed with anorexia. It was the famous marijuana brownies that saved my son’s life, and it was the doctors and their pharmaceutical medicines that almost killed him.
“It seems to me if one is going to need to use drugs, one ought to consider a relatively safe drug, like marijuana,” said Bernard Rimland, Ph.D., of the Autism Research Institute. Marijuana, the forbidden medicine, seems to be helpful for some people with adult attention deficit disorder, impulse disorders, and bipolar disorder. Some families have found marijuana to be nothing short of miraculous. Some of the symptoms marijuana has ameliorated include anxiety, even severe anxiety–aggression, panic disorder, generalized rage, tantrums, property destruction, and self-injurious behavior. One mother commenting on using marijuana for her autistic child said, “I know it’s not the end-all answer, but it’s been the best answer for the longest time for us in regards to ALL the other medications. I cannot tell you how many months we would go on a medication, wondering if it was doing anything, anything at all. Here we can see the difference in 30-60 minutes guaranteed.”
Conclusion
Ron Paul called the war on drugs “un-American,” believing we should all be able to think for ourselves or alter our consciousness if we want. Though marijuana is associated with alternative lifestyles, many of the straightest people in the country smoke marijuana, including scientists, writers, politicians, and even police officers. School teachers do it too, and everyone else you can think of, because when used as medicine to alleviate pain and suffering, no one is counted out.
Yet the government has nothing better to do than destroy people’s lives. Back in 2017, on any given day in the United States, at least 137,000 people sit behind bars on simple drug-possession charges, according to a report released by the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch.
Total People Incarcerated for Drug Offenses (All Drugs)
According to the Prison Policy Initiative’s 2025 “Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie” report, approximately 366,000 people are incarcerated across state prisons, local jails, federal prisons, youth prisons, and military prisons for drug offenses. Of that figure:
- 137,000 are in state prisons
- 149,000 are in local jails
- 88,000 are in federal prisons
In terms of share, about 1 in 5 incarcerated individuals in the U.S. are serving time for drug-related crimes.
People Incarcerated Specifically for Marijuana
- The Last Prisoner Project estimates that the number of individuals incarcerated at any given time for cannabis-related offenses exceeds 40,000 people.
- In short, drug offenses account for a significant slice of overall U.S. incarceration, and marijuana-related convictions alone represent a substantial portion—over 40,000 individuals are still behind bars for cannabis crimes, even as legalization spreads across many states.
