Medical Marijuana: The Replacement for Very Dangerous Drugs |
|
  Medical Marijuana: The Replacement for Very Dangerous Drugs Dr. Phillip Leveque for Salem-News.com
Cannabis / marijuana medicines were at one time the “drugs of choice†in the United States, until they were declared illegal. They had been used for 100 specific medical problems through the use of about 30 prescription medicines.
(MOLALLA, Ore.) - When I was ordered before the Oregon Board of Medical Examiners, the first question I was asked by Dr. Spokas, the chairman, from Ontario, Oregon, was “Dr. Leveque don’t you know that marijuana is very addicting and very dangerous?†|

In the 21st Century, 420 is firmly established as a code amongst tokers, a time of day and even sort of a toker's New Year's Day. It's in our culture now and only time will tell where it ends up.
April 20th (4/20) is another usage, meaning that it is time for to plant before the summer.
Whatever the real story is, 420 has been an important part of the marijuana culture since the 1970's. The significance of 420 has been kept underground and is mostly known only among marijuana smokers. Many non-smokers aren't aware of the symbolism when they see someone wearing a T-shirt or baseball cap that says 420 across the front.
When the 420 icon is somehow discreetly worked into a mainstream product like a film, marijuana users take notice. The film Pulp Fiction is rumored to have had all clocks throughout the movie set to 4:20. Marijuana smokers familiar with the symbol picked up on it—most people, however, did not.
While some marijuana smokers are using 420 as a code that enables them to openly speak about marijuana in front of parents or teachers. 420 has been to some, a sacred symbol for nearly 30 years.
Simply put, 420 is a symbol of cannabis and its culture. Today, April 20th events are international, and 4:20 pm has become sort of a world wide "burn time".

Marijuana - The First Twelve Thousand Years |

Epilogue
In the years that elapsed between the passage of the Marihuana Tax Act and the present, America experienced three major wars, a presidential assassination, the resignation of both a president and a vice-president in disgrace, a Communist witch-hunt, a flight to and landing on the moon, beatniks, hippies, yippies, desegregation, major riots in many of the nation's cities and campuses, domination of family life by television, the generation gap, and a longing to be perpetually young. Keeping pace with all these significant social and political events was a change in the nation's attitudes and behavior concerning marihuana.
Almost immediately after the Marihuana Tax Act became law, the Bureau of Narcotics was forced to reconsider its position on one of the main arguments it had used to secure passage of the law. First in the trial of Ethel "Bunny" Sohl in Newark, New Jersey, in January 1938, and then in the trial of Arthur Friedman in New York City in April of the same year, the defense argued that the murders committed by their clients were the result of their use of marihuana. An expert witness, Dr. James Munch, who had previously testified on behalf of the bureau at the congressional hearings on marihuana, testified again at both trials that marihuana would make people do things they would not otherwise do. The implication was that the accused were not responsible for their actions. The jury accepted the defense in both cases, and instead of asking for the death penalty they recommended life imprisonment. |

A License to Chill
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: SMOKING MARIJUANA CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH, UNLESS YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA AND SUFFER FROM ANOREXIA, ARTHRITIS, CANCER, CHRONIC PAIN OR ANY OTHER ILLNESSES
By Michael Goldstein, Michael Goldstein has written for the New York Daily News, Sunset and other publications. His 2004 Los Angeles Times Magazine story, "Sheer Lunacy," won a feature writing award from the Los Angeles Pr
February 11, 2007
Do you medicate? I do.
I'm not talking about Xanax or Prozac or Vicodin or their siblings. I have a "recommendation" (not a prescription, a recommendation) for pot. This puts me in a legally and socially problematic condition. The state of California says I can ingest marijuana for medicinal purposes, but the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration thinks I'm a criminal if I do. Because THC can make you feel good when you're healthy as well as feel better when you're sick, people who don't know me might see me as a big-bong punch line, in a Cheech and Chong kind of way. If you pop Viagra, you're tough and sexy; if you smoke weed, you're half-baked. I've been an occasional user of pot for 30 years. Only in the past six months have I done so without risking arrest, at least as far as Sacramento is concerned. It was very easy to become a medical user, but it raised a question: Was I better off breaking the law? In Los Angeles County a recommendation can be filled at more than 100 dispensaries, many of which have been raided by the DEA. Proposition 215, the first of its kind in the nation, went into effect in 1996 and prohibits a doctor from being punished for having recommended marijuana to a patient who is "seriously ill." A 2003 law requires the state Department of Health Services to "establish and maintain a voluntary program for the issuance of identification cards to qualified patients."
I was aware of these laws long before last summer but hadn't felt the urge to take advantage of them until someone stuck a flier under my windshield. It was from California Natural Pain Relief on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, and it informed me, misspellings and all, that "Medical cannabis can be recommended for the care and treatment of Cancer, Cronic pain, arthritis, Migraines, Diabetes, Insomnia, Anxiety, Aids Nausea, Epilepsy, Lupus, Depression, Eating Disorders, Menopause, PMS, Asthma, etc." |

Marijuana as medicine: Consider the pros and cons |

Marijuana as medicine: Consider the pros and cons
People have used marijuana as a medical treatment for thousands of years. Such uses extend even to modern America. Marijuana was listed by the U.S. Pharmacopeia, the organization that sets quality standards for approved drugs in the United States, until the 1940s, when political pressure against marijuana's recreational use triggered its removal.
Despite the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that state laws allowing medicinal use of marijuana must bow to federal law banning it, proponents still tout this controversial plant's ability to treat pain, nausea and other uncomfortable side effects of medical treatment as well as some disease symptoms.
Marijuana 101: The plant and its components
Marijuana refers to the dried flowers, leaves, stems and seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. These parts contain the compounds that produce the mind-altering effect that recreational users seek when smoking or ingesting the plant — but they also provide components with potential medical benefits.
Marijuana contains at least 60 chemicals called cannabinoids. Researchers are evaluating how effective some of these cannabinoids might be in controlling symptoms of certain medical conditions. For example: |

Once and for all.... SATIVA OR INDICA??? |
|
Written by Greenkind Magazine
The easiest way to remember the difference between the two primary varieties of cannabis is to relate the type of high experienced from the plant to the name. Cannabis Sativa and Indica are the two types of cannabis most useful as medicine. When these two plants are combined into one plant it is called a hybrid. It is like a donkey and a horse producing a mule. The horse is like one plant and the donkey another. The offspring, the mule, is a hybrid.

Medicinal Pot takes big hit |
|
The total cost of purchasing a medical cannabis patient card has gone from $150 to $300 dollars a year. Lay that on Gavin Newsom who cancelled the CCSF pot card program and passed it on to the state and to Ross Mirkarimi who didn't complain when he did so.
This is a friggin' disaster. Now, I told everyone involved that this would happen from the start and none of the dipshits listened to me.
I told Ross Mirkarimi that the best procedure for licensing pot outlets was to give them a certificate (limited edition) allowing them to move their businesses under the roof of any pharmacy or liquor store. I ranted about how insane it was to set up an entirely new industry that had to go through Planning department and the Board of Appeals and whatever.
I told him that people would take payoffs at every juncture and that only the rich would be able to afford a license to distribute pot. Well, I was right.
Thus far, there are 2 pot clubs certified to do business in San Francisco and all of the remaining clubs are required to have approved certificates within the next 6 months. That means that 38 clubs will either go out of business or pump a whole lot of money into bribing planners or politicians or members of the Board of Appeals in order to stay in business. Only the lawyers are happy.
Mirkarimi and Newsom are idiots on so many levels in this matter that it is hard to calculate which move was the dumbest. |
