On the one hand, United States federal government officials have consistently denied that marijuana has any medical benefits. On the other, the government actually holds patents for the medical use of the plant.

Just check out US Patent 6630507 titled “Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants” which is assigned to The United States of America, as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services.

According to Fox 4 out of Dallas:

The secret pot farm was practically right under their noses. In fact, if you could walk in a straight line from the riverbank through the marshy underbrush and tangled wilderness, you’d walk just 200 yards before you hit the DEA’s office building.

These guys can’t even keep their own backyards clean!

Keeping up a marijuana field containing more than 300 plants is no small task and would require a lot of maintenance yet the DEA officials have no idea who was taking care of the plants.

So why is this in the news already? It seems like it would have been smarter to keep the plants under surveillance in order to figure who was maintaining them.

While I am absolutely not advocating the war on drugs — in fact, I would rather see the DEA agents sitting around doing nothing — you would think that this would be a good opportunity for a decent sized drug bust. But then again, I always knew these guys were fairly incompetent. Keep up the good work fellas!!!
