The Medical Letter and Pathetic Innocence about Medical Marijuana

Tue, 07/20/2010 - 02:42
This is pernicious misinformation that both amuses and beguiles me because of its innocence of factual information. It appears it comes from ten year old information peppered with the information from the Reefer Madness movie. About 1,000,000 marijuana users are arrested each year. This means as least 10 to 20 million people are using it with minimal adverse effects.

Medical Marijuana Therapy 101 for Disbelievers: There's a Lot of Bull Here

Thu, 07/15/2010 - 23:31
There is so much misinformation in the media about the medical use of marijuana, that getting to the real truth can sometimes be difficult. It should not be the case, but the laws in the United States outlawing this natural plant have created a very difficult atmosphere for research.

Let's Be Blunt with Governor Christie!

Tue, 07/13/2010 - 18:57
The New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act deems medical marijuana to be “medicine” – based on proven, scientific and medical research. The new law will literally benefit the lives of thousands of New Jersey patients (and their families and loved ones), and it is also the strictest medical marijuana law in the country. Under the law, a very limited number of patient illnesses/conditions are included for medical-marijuana treatment.

VA Blunders with Female Vets

Mon, 07/12/2010 - 23:11
The above title is an abridged version of the article in Time Magazine July 12, 2010. The article is so condemnatory of the subject it brought tears of disbelief to this old Dogface Soldier. I have written many articles about the gross betrayal of our wounded and sick Veterans by the VA but this expose is about the worst condemnation I have read.

Mendonico County Sheriff on Radio Station KZYX

Thu, 07/08/2010 - 00:01
On March 23, 2010, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors enacted an ordinance that quadrupled the number of medical marijuana plant that can be grown on a parcel of land. The new ordinance allows gardens up to 99 plants, if growers apply for a variance to the county's 25-plant limit. In other words, the new ordinance requires proper licensing and law enforcement scrutiny.

New Initiative for Regulated Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Bound for Oregon Ballot

Wed, 07/07/2010 - 07:14
Sponsors of a new medical marijuana initiative announced that they have collected nearly 130,000 signatures on petitions to place Initiative #28 on Oregon’s November 2010 ballot. The new initiative would add a regulated supply system of dispensaries and producers to the current medical marijuana law, which requires patients to produce their own medicine.

Battle Stress And Over Medicated Combat Soldiers: with Anti-Depressants and Opiates

Tue, 07/06/2010 - 22:14
Drugs prescribed to past and present members of the military are literally frying brains and causing addictions, suicides, PTSD, spousal abuse when they get home, murder, alcoholism with death or tobacco addiction with death. It isn't overly publicized, but many psychotropic drugs are being used in Iraq et cetera, now for “Battle Terrors” and complete exhaustion.

Romance, Love, Stress, Sex, Anandamide, Dopamine, Bliss

Mon, 07/05/2010 - 23:39
This is the essence of my title and this article. If I must explain, I will attempt to do so. The first four ALL cause ANANDAMIDE release. About 2 weeks ago, I saw a story on TV News which investigated about and reported on the “love at first sight” phenomenon triggering anandamide release.

PTSD, Anti-Depressants, Seroquel And Tranquilizers Confessions of a VA Lab Rat

Thu, 07/01/2010 - 06:20
I have written and posted about myself being a frontline Combat Infantryman, seeing fellow soldiers crack up on the frontline, getting near breaking up myself and finally being a physician for PTSD Veterans and others. PTSD is a far more widely suffered condition than many will admit.

Washington: Tacoma Hempfest 2010 Draws Awareness

Wed, 06/30/2010 - 20:48
On Saturday, June 26, organizers from across the state celebrated the 1st Annual Tacoma Hempfest at Wright Park. The weather was perfect for a day out as thousands converged and brought attention to the cannabis plant, as well as highlighting the injustice done to Canadian citizen Marc Emery who many feel is wrongly incarcerated in the United States for selling seeds.

Montel Williams to NY Legislators: Pass Medical Marijuana Now

Tue, 06/29/2010 - 19:45
At a press conference in Albany on Tuesday, former talk show host, U.S. Navy officer and New York City resident Montel Williams urged New York Governor David Paterson and members of the Legislature to act quickly in order to pass New York’s medical marijuana bill. The New York bill would create one of the best-regulated systems in the country for providing seriously ill patients with safe and effective access to medical marijuana.

Cannabis Reduces Infant Mortality

Sun, 06/27/2010 - 09:00
Years ago, a friend of mine, a good Christian lady, had a child with "failure to thrive". She had CPS all over her, looking for even the tiniest trace of child neglect. They found none. The child was well cared for, but she just didn't seem that interested in eating. Her bottles often went half finished.

Medical Marijuana Vs. Dangerous Drugs

Sat, 06/26/2010 - 23:27
Several enlightened patients and others read my articles occasionally and I try to keep at least one small step ahead of them. I checked to see who says what comparatively about Devil Weed the star of the movie Reefer Madness. I’ve been reading this crap for so long almost nothing surprises me.

Medical Marijuana Massacre in Montana: Medical Board Quit Frittering

Thu, 06/24/2010 - 07:22
I always thought that Montana had the last vestiges of the “wild, wild, west” but the current Medical Marijuana eruption is completely out of control and it appears the Montana medical Board and their State Legislature has been caught with their pants down. Oh, about the massacre – it is the valid Medical Marijuana patients who are at severe risk.

Medical Marijuna Misinformation and Ignorance: the Cops are Full of It

Wed, 06/23/2010 - 04:45
This Medical Marijuana business is really crazy. I guess this is where psychosis of ignorance really comes into play. I had the grand opportunity to listen to Sheriff Tom Bergin of Clatsop County display more fake chutzpah than a used car auctioneer. He was talking at a conference about proposed changes in the marijuana laws.

Army Lynch Mob Meeting at Officer Club Bar: Oregonian Exposes Medical Torture

Mon, 06/14/2010 - 19:46
When I see a spade, I call it a spade. Finally the Oregonian prints a story by Julie Sullivan telling it right. They have done this very rarely in the past ten years. Their headline Thursday, June 10, 2010, hits the nail right on the thumb, Oregon Guard Soldier’s Use of Medical Marijuana Runs Into Army’s Drug Abuse Policy.

Today, Colorado Governor Bill Ritter (D) signed legislation that will regulate the state’s medical marijuana dispensaries through a system of local and state licenses, but still allow individual localities to ban dispensaries.
