DEA Persecuting Ed Rosenthal - Again
The Dea won't give up. They want to shut Ed Rosenthal up and they're using the federal justice system to subvert his First Amendment Rights. 14 new felony charges were issued against Ed late Thursday including cultivating marijuana plants; laundering $1,850, which the government says he got from selling the plants to medical dispensaries; and tax evasion. His tax returns, prosecutors said, omitted income from the sale of the plants. Read article here.
Ed, per his usual self, vows to fight on. The DEA's tactics are intended to wear him down and to limit his movement and activism. This is part of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S strategy to overturn voter-approved medical marijuana initiatives by keeping the movement's leaders busy in court and by threatening to throw them in prison. They're trying to keep us quiet. They want us just to give up and meekly submit to their intimidation.
This is not how we do things in America. Or, this is not how we should do things. The current government in the White House has overthrown the Constitution, thrown away the Bill of Rights and stomped all over State's rights.
We all need to stand with Ed. We need to let the DEA know he is not alone.

New Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease?
Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute in California found that marijuana's active ingredient, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, can prevent the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from breaking down more effectively than commercially marketed drugs. THC is also more effective at blocking clumps of protein that can inhibit memory and cognition in Alzheimer's patients, the researchers reported in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics.
The researchers said their discovery could lead to more effective drug treatment for Alzheimer's, the leading cause of dementia among the elderly. Read entire article at CNN.com
