   	Except that with the fats especially the trans-fats and saturated   
   fats we can see that real disease is specifically associated with the   
   excess consumption.   
      
   	With cannabis except in specific cases we don't see any harms   
   to compare with arterial-sclerosis and a number of related problems.   
   Some people may have allergies to cannabis or some of its constituents   
   but the saturated fats need very a special metabolism to deal with   
   their effects in a healthful way.   
      
   	The DEA should be working against grain fed beef.
