Explain why Drug Enforcement Agency(DEA) refuses to acknowledge any medical use for marijuana.

Created by E.Y. on September 25, 2011

My mother died in July, earlier this year from cancer. She fought an unusually long battle for months longer than anyone expected. There were days where just plain water was nauseating. The only effective aid she found was medicinal marijuana. After doing my research I cannot come up with a good reason why to restrict such a safe medicine. Can you please explain the DEA's no tolerance stance on accepting new information or adapting more progressive and effective policies?
