Hi Sarah and Russ, 

I did not receive an update last week, the week you said I would receive an update.   Can you please provide me this update now?  I am now obligated to a potential 386,224 people who are very interested in this information to tell them how this request is faring.

Thank you.

Chris

The Darma continues!!!

Pete from foiaadvocates contacted, asked 'what is next'? We are ready to fire all photon torpedoes.

Hey bro! I tried to remember to link you to a .gov cancer flyer that plainly states some benefits!

https://nccih.nih.gov/health/marijuana (funny read)

https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/cam/patient/cannabis-pdq (this website .gov says there is benefits, effectively making them liars)

Clutch.

Thanks. When I sent in the original FOIA, I included an attachment of 100+NIH studies saying something like "can you verify that these sources were considered when making your decision"

This of course crashed their website (no really it did--see the screenshot in the original post), forcing me to submit via telemodem, erm fax i think they called it.

https://twitter.com/sageyfbaby/status/783111668226109440 I tweeted several tweets, we'll see I guess..these people need to held accountable. Aren't they suppose to be working for us anyways? We should be able to somehow (citizens) be able to vote elected officials out of power or something bc we can't seem to regulate the shift of power. we should have elections but we should have something on our end that protects us, something that they can't rig and keep our elected officials in check.

That's that bullshit, they love that bullshit.

I just tweeted it out, hoping for a famous voice to RT bc this needs traction.

I know it is a typo, but the Darma (Dharma) continues indeed!

Oops I meant drama but I like this also

If they want to treat this motherfucker like a business we must come up with a business arrangement of our own for them..bc they have us by the balls and don't give 0 fucks ab it either.

Ask them about US Patent Number: 6,630,507

Ask them to explain why the NIH granted an EXCLUSIVE license to Kannalife.

Very helpful. Bookmarked. You get a research cookie. Sorry that was dumb. Virtual gold instead.

Go get 'em.

The system is so corrupt. All they have to do is say it's a matter of national security. Game over, unless you got bucks too sue.

7 911bodysnatchers322 2016-10-04

I do. I have a budget of 1000, and at this point, I have to spend none of that on printing because they dun goof'd and busted their legal deadline. So that all goes to attorney/helpers

Don't waste your money. Instead, mail them a bag of anthrax and call it a day.

Frankly I couldn't give a hoot if they ever legalize pot. Quite personally I'd rather not see them start selling "pot cigarettes" in corner stores because that's the real problem: the commodification of the sacred (not that pot is sacred, but in the sense of a tremendum)

I just think it's crazy they're still arresting people for pot and promoting the drug war mentality. Like how is this really happening, and when I die will I finally be free of it , or will I just be born into the same situation again , just a different time?

5 911bodysnatchers322 2016-10-04

Pot isn't sacred if you're a 16 yr old playing video games on it.

It's really just a tool. You still have to do all the work by getting in the right frame of mind. I'm ok with them commodifying it. I mean commodification is good if the commodification makes people, culture, thought, spirituality, heath, rights, freedoms improved or better in some way. Problem is, it typicaly does the opposite of that, because one group gets too much power and wants to maintain (philip morris)

The worst thing about the drug war thing you're talking about is the hypocrisy. People on /r/conspiracy know that the CIA, EIIR, Pope are the biggest drug dealers on the planet, that they are basically managing the whole biz. Remember fast and furious with 'gunwalking'? They are 'drugwalking' in order to catch blacks and commodify them as slaves in jail. The drug war is basically a big psyop dragnet to catch mostly blacks and poor people and enslave them in private prisons to make various discounted products for the public sector like license plates.
