Additionally, I reported in 1968 that 100 percent of the illegal pharmaceuticals confiscated at the Tijuana border with Mexico had been manufactured in the US by "reputable" drug companies. (I recall naming Squibb and Lily among others but the paper's lawyers removed them from the story.) The drug companies purposely over produced Tuinal, Seconal and Nembutal (downers), "donated" the over supply to Mexico for tax write offs. Pushes would then buy them over the counter and smuggle them back into the country -- causing high school kids to fall out of their desks in stupors and drive motorcycles through plate glass windows. Congress stopped the scam. Now, of course, they have more insidious ways of forcing their products onto the public, having pretty much purchased Congress and state houses. Can't prove it, but I reckon they act in concert and are a cartel of ! sorts. The FDA, which commonly approves drugs whose side effects are worse than the diseases they are supposed to attack, still classifies marijuana as a drug with no use, despite evidence to the contrary. It us a tool of the drug cartel, methinks. Dan _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
