This is real. In 1937 the AMA was the only group that testified against the first federal anti marijuana law. The AMA rep testified that making cannabis illegal would deprive Americans of valuable medicine. Extracts of cannabis were being sold, at that time, by most major pharmaceutical companies. And most of those were being sold for, among other things, as a cure for skin cancer. Our federal government made a medically accepted treatment for at least one form of cancer illegal. That was the beginning of the dark ages of medicine. We are, just now, starting to get to where we were in 1937. There are huge roadblocks being presented to this area of medicine. In spite of those legally established roadblocks, progress is being made. Just saying the words "treatment" or "cure" and the word "cannabis" at the same time can cause the person to go to prison.
