TERRY COLE FIX IT! DEA Blocks FDA Cannabis Trials While Contaminated Marijuana Floods State Markets
Terrance Cole's Choice: Reformer or Cover-Up Artist? New DEA Administrator Terrance Cole stands at a crossroads: Quotes From Inside the Agency Reveal Systemic Corruption, Regulatory Negligence, and Public Health Betrayal. The DEA's war on cannabis research is not just a failure of policy-it's a failure of morality. WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESS Newswire / August 10, 2025 / While patients suffering from Huntington's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and other debilitating conditions await life saving cannabis based treatments, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) continues to flaunt its profound ignorance, regulatory negligence, and outright corruption. The agency's mission claims to 'ensure an adequate and uninterrupted supply of controlled substances for medical and scientific needs,' but internal statements and actions reveal a shocking pattern of incompetence, deceit, and deliberate obstruction. From field agents to senior leadership, the DEA's handling of cannabis research applications has devolved into a circus of bureaucratic malpractice -one that prioritizes power over patients, red tape over science, and self preservation over public health. The DEA's Greatest Hits: A Compilation of Cluelessness and Corruption Here are actual quotes from DEA officials tasked with overseeing cannabis research-exposing an agency that is either catastrophically inept or intentionally sabotaging medical progress: The Bigger Scandal: A Culture of Corruption These quotes are not isolated incidents-they reflect a systemic rot within the DEA's Diversion Control Division: The Human Cost: Patients Left to Suffer While the DEA plays bureaucratic games: The Solution: Dismantle the DEA's Obstruction Machine Congress, the courts, and the White House must act now: Terrance Cole's Moment of Truth (2025) New DEA Administrator Terrance Cole faces a choice: America doesn't need more anti-science bureaucrats-it needs leaders who put patients over politics. The DEA's cannabis obstruction isn't just incompetence-it's institutional malpractice. MMJ is represented by attorney Megan Sheehan.
