[ad_1] The federal government has changed its view of marijuana’s dependence and abuse risks, causing some confusion about what that means for Americans.  Like heroin, ecstasy and LSD, marijuana was formerly classified as a Schedule I drug with no accepted medical use and high potential for abuse. Marijuana will now be regulated alongside drugs considered to have legitimate medical applications such as Tylenol with codeine and anabolic steroids. The Justice Department reclassified state-licensed or FDA-approved medical marijuana products as Schedule III drugs on April 23. Although the change signals a major shift in federal policy, its practical effects are more…

[ad_1] Some excerpts from the long Complaint in Harpole v. Owens (M.D. Tenn.), just filed today (of course, recall that these are all just accusations, not court findings): Plaintiff Brian Harpole is a citizen and resident of Texas.

[ad_1] So I guess the Fed chairman, Jay Powell, is not going off quietly into the night. Today is his last meeting as chairman, but he announced his ungentlemanly decision to stay on as a Fed board member for who knows how long.  “I’ve said that I will not leave the board until this investigation is well and truly over with transparency and finality, and I stand by that,” he said.  “In terms of when I would leave, I will leave when I think it’s appropriate to do so,” he added. “The things that have happened in the last three…

[ad_1] US Central Command (CENTCOM) is requesting the Department of War deploy a hypersonic missile system to the Middle East.  Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that CENTCOM, the regional command responsible for the Middle East, asked for the Dark Eagle hypersonic missile for potential use against Iran. The request comes amid a three-week ceasefire between the US and Iran. If approved, it would be the first deployment of the Dark Eagle missile.  CENTCOM made the request because Iran had moved its missiles out of range of US standoff munitions such as the PRsM. The need for a missile with a longer…

[ad_1] During an April 17 congressional hearing, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called for retraction of a new Danish study that didn’t find a link between Tylenol and autism, repeatedly calling it “garbage” and baselessly suggesting that it was industry-generated and “fraudulent.” There is no evidence of fraud or industry involvement, and the criticism Kennedy made was a limitation the authors of the paper acknowledged — not legitimate grounds for retraction, according to scientists. Beginning with a press conference about autism in September — the Kennedy-imposed deadline for knowing the cause of the “autism epidemic” —…
