DOJ refuses to change Fentanyl and Cannibis narcotics ratings. Big Pharma influence?

[MarathonMike]

After hundreds of thousands of deaths from Fentanyl, The DOJ continues to rate Fentanyl a LOWER RISK than Pot. Why? Because Big Pharma would lose too much revenue on their painkillers. Just more evidence as to how corrupt the US DOJ is today.

Keeping deadly drugs available to the sheeples means GIANT PROFITS for Big Pharma, as they can sell more "life saving meds" and medical accessories.

Poison the people and make them think it's all THEIR fault.......when it's the government and Big Pharma working together to degrade healthcare, jack up the price of healthcare and medications, while they BOTH rake in BILLIONS a year.

Marijuana's medical benefits have not been fully tested ... the testing is normally reported to the Federal agencies, but Federal agencies aren't allowed under Federal Law ... but then again, Federal Law Enforcement has their hands full with the Fentanyl epidemic ... [sigh] ...

It's Politically Incorrect to say marijuana didn't help ... so all we hear about is the success stories ... but if you listen close enough, you'll hear folks say it doesn't do what everyone says it will do ... the science is pretty much antidotal ... the worse kind ...

The feds have known for a half a century now of all recreational drugs, Marijuana/Hash is the least harmful.
