They answer to no one! And their abhorrent decisions flow through society, pitting the police against the people they swore to protect and denying sick people a very effective medicine, and for the rest of us a totally safe alternative to the deadly but legal recreational drugs currently available. This decision means the DEA retains all control over the production of research-grade marijuana, particularly to whom it's given to for studies. The DEA obviously only gives it to research that's going to prove how dangerous it is, and never to research that might find that it actually has medicinal uses. For if an FDA-approved study found that marijuana has medicinal uses then marijuana would by law HAVE to be taken out of Schedule I. The DEA is determined, and able, to ensure that this will NEVER happen. :( The Government made a BIG mistake when they set up the DEA. They answer to no one!
