For the first time, a federal agency has enough evidence of the medicinal capabilities of the cannabis plant to get it away from Heroin and put it in the same schedule as anabolic steroids & Codeine Tylenol. Its not official until the White House Budget review and a public comment period. Industry reaction is mixed, consumer reaction is what took so long?
Success Center is a community-based organization that was founded 35 years ago by Superior Court Judges in San Francisco to provide education and employment opportunities to youth in juvenile detention facilities.
