Irvin Rosenfeld, a 61-year old investment specialist from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla has received over 130,000 cigarettes of medical cannabis, approx 300 at a time, one shipment every 25 days since 1983. This is all courtesy of the U.S. Federal Government to treat a rare form of bone cancer. Ironically, in 2011, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said that cannabis "has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States" and "lacks accepted safety for use under medical supervision." So which one is it?

'And once again, our country’s disadvantaged kids are being unnecessarily medicated nearly three times more often.

According to CDC officials, more than 10,000 American toddlers—children who are just 2 or 3 years old—are being medicated for alleged attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

There are few studies on the impact of psychostimulant ADHD drugs like methylphenidate (Ritalin) or amphetamines (like Adderall) in children this young. However, we do know that the side effects of ADHD drugs include stunted growth, insomnia, hallucinations, high blood pressure, involuntary movements, aggressive behavior, heart attack, brain hemorrhage, stroke, migraines, and seizures. Emerging evidence also suggests that Ritalin can cause long-term damage to developing prefrontal cortexes, resulting in “rigid behavior, difficulties with multitasking, or problems with short-term memory” later in life.'
