Federal Government gives marijuana to Irvin Rosenfeld - throws everyone else in jail

Perhaps the most glaring and obvious contradiction to the federal government's schedule one classification of marijuana is the fact that the federal government actually gives marijuana each month to four patients who are: Barbara Douglass, George McMahon, Elvy Musikka, and Irvin Rosenfeld.

The Compassionate Investigational New Drug (IND) program started in 1978 after a federal judge ordered the Food and Drug Administration to provide DC resident Robert Randall with marijuana to treat his glaucoma. Others patients petitioned successfully to join the IND program and it supplied marijuana cigarettes to as many as 14 patients from 1978 to 1992 when it was closed to new applicants.

This is another clear violation of the equal protection under the law clause of the CONSTITUTION because it is blatantly unconstitutional for the federal government to give legal protection to one group of citizens to use marijuana as medicine but for the rest of us it's illegal.
