Citing "overwhelming" evidence that marijuana eases pain and anxiety for the chronically ill, medicinal pot advocates told a federal appeals panel Tuesday that the federal government should be stopped from spreading "false information" about marijuana. As was argued in the debate over whether stem cell research should be resumed, Americans for Safe Access cast the Bush administration's opposition to any legalized use of marijuana as being shaped by conservative sentiments instead of hard facts. continued...

It's really hard to be truthful.

The ASA Lawsuit against HHS over the Data Quality Act (see Saturday's post) was argued today in Circuit Court. ASA is, of course, asking that HHS simply not give false information about medical marijuana on their website and materials.

The government's defense?

Justice Department lawyer Alisa Klein told the appeals court panel that the government shouldn't be forced to defend the accuracy of "countless pieces of information" in its massive archives. U.S. Circuit Court Judge Marsha S. Berzon, an appointee of President Clinton, said the law at issue in the case was "amazing" because it did appear to require the government to correct all inaccurate statements, a result she called "troubling."

Boy, it sure is asking a lot to want the Department of Health and Human Services of the United States Government to give out information that's, you know, accurate.

It's sort of like wanting NASA to use accurate numbers for computing trajectories, or asking the Treasury Department to use accurate information for assessing the health of the economy. Should we just say, "Oh, that's too hard."

There's nothing you can do that can be done. Nothing you can say that can't be spun. Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game There's nothing you can grow that can't be made. No one you can save that can't be caged. Nothing you can do but you can learn to be fools. There's nothing you can know that isn't known. Nothing you can see that isn't shown. Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're told to be. It's easy. Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies. All you need are Lies, Lies, Lies are all you need. All you need are Lies (all together now) All you need are Lies (everybody) All you need are Lies, Lies, Lies are all you need.
