Did the DEA really just give Insys approval to develop synthetic cannabis despite the company’s history of corruption and abuse?

Jeff Sessions re-criminalizes cannabis nationwide… the full TYRANNY of Washington D.C. lunatics is now on display

The DEA turns its back on freedom; refuses to reschedule cannabis, claims it’s worse than METH

In a mind-boggling decision that proves, without a shadow of a doubt, that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is horrifically corrupt, the organization has once again refused to reschedule cannabis from a Schedule I drug, despite having zero logical reasons not to do so.
