Hey everyone…I’m Dr. Barry and for those of you who know me know that it’s no secret as to where I stand when it comes to the topic of Cannabis! Just recently I’ve had the honor of being chosen by a group of cannabis industry leaders from across the country to work together with a common goal…of Descheduling cannabis. What I am speaking of here is the complete removal of cannabis from the controlled substance act. This act has unfairly demonized this naturally occurring plant for almost 100 years. Our cause has brought together, for the first time in history, the two sides of cannabis known as Hemp and Marijuana uniting them for the overall health benefit of mankind.
Right to Choose
Unfortunately, our current healthcare system continues its slide into oblivion. Therefore, the returning of the right to choose your medicine to where it belongs — in the hands of “We the People.” Or as it’s called, “We the Patients” is imperative. In my opinion this move could help repair this broken healthcare system of ours simply by descheduling cannabis!
As a doctor, I have personally observed cannabis’ tremendous healing potential by supplying the body with an ingredient that is vital to life and deficient in many of us. If you’re like most people, you may not completely understand my statement. If that’s the case, I encourage you to get informed by visiting my cannabis educational site at www.cbdproonline.com learning from our comprehensive cannabis video library.
One commonly overlooked aspect of this plant is its ability to blur the lines of division as it relates to politics, race, gender, nationality, religion and many other opposing views. It’s been shown to have the ability to unite each as one. This video you are about to watch is a perfect example of just that.
I encourage you to share this amazing descheduling cannabis information that we have collaborated on in order to free this plant from its current legal status. You’ll hear from a handful of well-known cannabis experts in their own field. They’ll be sharing a common and simple request of De-scheduling Cannabis.
Legalization
Legalizing cannabis might be the only thing the country can agree on according to a recent Pew Poll that cites 91% of Americans support legalization. Regardless of how you feel about Trump, a group of cannabis industry professionals have come together to urge Trump to legalize and decriminalize cannabis. If Trump were to legalize cannabis, he could win votes, ease the burden of regulation by the police, free up prosecution in the courts, cut red tape from the FDA, and help improve the wellness of all Americans trying to access the plant’s potential benefits.
Experts Speak Out
The attached video is a short documentary film that compares the legality of cannabis to other legal substances. CBDPRO CEO, Dr. Barry Morrison, Diplomate of The Academy of Integrative Pain Management states, “I feel like it should be completely removed from being a scheduled drug. And should be treated like alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and even sugar.”
ExtracTech CEO, David Neisingh, spells out what is being asked of Trump: “We’re asking you to deschedule it and to decriminalize THC. To take CBD which is a natural product, out of the hands of the FDA. Call CBD a food product, not a drug…take it off The Control Substances Act. And to pull out of these very restrictive UN treaties.” Neisingh goes on to say that people might “put politics aside” because this issue matters to so many across the political spectrum.
Dr. Pratha of the Integrative Gastroenterology in San Diego contributes to the argument for legalization: “It’s a safe drug, across the board …caffeine, alcohol – alcohol is sold without restriction. I think alcohol does far more damage than cannabis does … What I’ve seen so far makes me feel like this is a very valuable thing and it should not be caught up in the red tape and you now in all the mountains of regulation that are going to come into play the minute the FDA decides to take a stance to regulate its sale and usage. Because it would be a huge disservice to all the people who are benefiting from it.”
Farmer Jack Vessey of Vessey & Company, Inc., from the Imperial Valley in California discusses the real-life challenges, barriers, even financial harm that the various government regulatory agencies have caused hemp farmers by overregulation or lack of clarity of laws that cause confusion and stifle the industry’s ability to thrive.
Martin Smith of the Kentucky Hemp Farmers Association also speaks directly to Trump regarding the pain farmers have experienced: “There are people out there who have worked a lot of hard hours. There is 200 plus hours into every acre of hemp. And they’ve put a lot of their heart and soul into this crop and to this industry, because the intent of Congress was to make this a commodity that is like corn and soybean.”

The Comeback of Chris Byrd
Then there is the comeback story of 2-time heavyweight boxing champion and Olympic Silver Medalist Chris Byrd, who at 50 years old is making a startling comeback after a difficult retirement plagued with pain caused by neuropathy, and his miraculous recovery, to which he credits cannabis and Tammie Thomas, of CBD Healthcare Solutions, for introducing it to him.
Tammie talks of Chris’ comeback by saying, “He is here today, 100% health back, and ready to come back to boxing and be an inspiration to the world, and to anyone out there that is suffering any kind of ailment. They can get better, do not give up.”
Speaking directly to Trump, Chris suggests that legalizing cannabis could save billions of dollars in healthcare costs, and millions of lives and that it saved his life: “They said it was bad to me … they lied to us. Big time. Cannabis heals. It heals the body. And it could heal the country also.”
In a scene near the end, a group of protestors and counter-protesters get together in the streets to share a joint and one of them says, “This is the most American I’ve ever seen in my life.” Another says, “Trump supporters, ANTIFA, liberals, conservatives, Democrats, doesn’t matter, we all shared some weed together.”
This film is both political and non-political and hopes to put on display the absurdity that prohibition has lasted over 80 years in this country and there is a golden opportunity for a political party or president to create a firm legacy by legalizing and freeing this plant.
