MEDICAL CANNABIS STUDIES, Et Al:
This section of the Antique Cannabis Book deals with Governmental Censorship as it relates to Medical Cannabis Studies. And is meant primarily for use by active newspaper reporters wishing to write articles on the subject. As such we’ve tried to keep things as ‘Well Documented,” yet also as short and concise as possible. Whenever opinions are given, they have been clearly marked as such.

CENSORSHIP --

CENSORSHIP VIA INTIMIDATION:
Governmental censorship, by definition is coercive force ---But it does not always take on the form of specific laws, nor direct threats. Sometimes all it takes is a nod, a wink, an understanding that if you don’t tow the line, an unpleasant future awaits you. In the case of a radio station, it’s a future without an FCC license. In the case of the A.A.R.P., it’s the loss of political influence. . . . . etc.
This section serves to document such cases --- however active newspaper reporters should be warned that due to the nature of governmental coercion (as opposed to direct threats), fewer smoking guns exist and as such more subjective opinions come into play. But still without question, with or without direct involvement, – As per the mentioned cases, governmental intimidation takes place.

And the main stream news media took the bait . . . It’s what happened afterwards that is of interest to us here. . . . [MORE]
