Four Americans Still Receive Marijuana From Federal Government

MarijuanaNet-Logo-Ad-Rotator_260x120-100x100

The Marijuana Tax Act, which made the sale possession and cultivation of marijuana illegal under federal law was instituted in 1937. The passage of this billed was aided with the success of the propaganda laced “Reefer Madness” film. Of course this has been common knowledge for a long time. Or is it?

Surprisingly, four individuals do in fact receive marijuana from the federal government. In 1976, a court settlement was reached resulting in 14 people being able to receive high quality medical marijuana from the federal government. The program is not often discussed in the mainstream and the government has likely wanted to keep it this way for past 35 years. Like anyone in politics, the federal government has a past, or an embarrassing cousin they do not want us to meet. With states legalizing marijuana and federal raids, the government does not want us to think there was a time where they had a free spirited youth.

This story is not new, in fact it is 35 years old. This is like finding out your spouse has been leading a secret life. The subject hit news recently as a 72 year old woman from Oregon was pulled over and informed state troopers that her marijuana was issued by the federal government. They held obvious skepticism to the woman’s claim, but after follow up through proper channels, realized she was telling the truth.

With more research pouring in on the therapeutic/medicinal value of cannabis and the economic relief that accompanies decriminalization, the federal government’s position on marijuana has already been greatly weakened. To now see that the federal government has the ability to cultivate, monitor, and distribute the very medicine they have preached against devastates their case. The feds say there is no contradiction here but that seems to be a difficult sale considering the facts. Can this create momentum for marijuana decriminalization/legalization? Will the federal government consider expanding an already existing program? Or will they just try to straighten out their story and continue to put a strain on tax dollars?

The town of San Jose, CA is thinking about an invoice that will make all shops inside the city boost their own medicinal marijuana.  Of course the moment a dispensary begins a sizable grow operation they risk that the us government will notice and try to close them lower.   The city can also be thinking about restricting the amount of shops and additional restricting their locations.

2 yrs ago the town enforced a 7% tax around the purchase of medicinal marijuana.  Since March the town has collected greater than $1.six million.    We question:  when the product is employed by all involved why change it out?
