   This all about Nixon’s vendetta against the hippies and his own Shaffer
   Report that he trashed be cause it told the truth.
   CNN
   On August 14, 1970, the Assistant Secretary of Health, Dr. Roger O. Egeberg
   wrote a letter recommending the plant, marijuana, be classified as a
   schedule 1 substance, and it has remained that way for nearly 45 years. My
   research started with a careful reading of that decades old letter. What I
   found was unsettling. Egeberg had carefully chosen his words:
   “Since there is still a considerable void in our knowledge of the plant and
   effects of the active drug contained in it, our recommendation is that
   marijuana be retained within schedule 1 at least until the completion of
   certain studies now underway to resolve the issue.”
   Not because of sound science, but because of its absence, marijuana was
   classified as a schedule 1 substance. Again, the year was 1970. Egeberg
   mentions studies that are underway, but many were never completed. As my
   investigation continued, however, I realized Egeberg did in fact have
   important research already available to him, some of it from more than 25
   years earlier.
