| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | my ex's father died of leukemia... and I believe he was prescribed marijuana to both ease the pain, and help him eat. I'm guessing a lot of cancer patients too because of the bitch ass hell that kemo puts you through. Dunno. I would want it to be prescribed for the common cold, but imagine how tough it would be to keep down bong hits when you are already coughing up lungs to begin with.

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | The supreme court will hear arguments tomorrow on whether marijuana can be used by cancer patients. Of course the Republicans are fighting it, saying it's a beard for pro-smoking groups. If it can help with the side-effects, and 8 states so far , have approved medical usage;who cares? FU to cancer.  sig by PanterA. Thanks to CLS & 1st Sgt. Fil | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Nov. 00 | My mother is a legal expert on medicinal-pot issues. Ironically, she's never tried it and doesn't approve of the practice... ;) To clarify a little: The Court heard arguments today. Arizona, Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Nevada, Oregon and Washington have passed ballot initiatives legalizing medicinal use; Hawaii passed a bill and the governor signed it. And there's no way the Supreme Court will find for the Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative because there are too many legal issues with the distribution, possession, etc. Not to mention the federal laws on the subject. All of this, of course, has NO effect on real life, even in those 9 states... I could go on, anyone have a question? :p  "I laughed! I cried!" -- A Manic Depressive | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Sep. 00 | a little more clarity in this haze of pot smoke...what is being ruled upon is the use of the "medicinal necessity" as a defense against federal drug bans...and it doesn't look good. Antonin Scalia and a few other Justices peppered lawyers for the Oakland Cannibus Buyers Cooperative as to why they were bringing this before the court, as opposed to an individual who was busted for possession. Duff Man says a lot of things...OOH YEA! | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Sorry, you know I had to bring this to the top... It's not going to happen with this Supreme Court sitting and probably not with the next one either. Just another reason why I hate this fucked-up government: go put people in jail for inflicting major harm on one another, not some poor sick cancer patient who's one relief comes from smoking a little weed...and who is he hurting? not even himself. I just heard in High Times that they jailed an older quadriplegic man for 20 years for just growing a small quantity for personal use...Do you know how much it costs the tax payer to keep this non-violent offender in prison, including medical costs!!??!! quote:I've had no problem whatsoever, makes you feel a lot better when you're sick!

And as far as pot goes.... look at Amsterdam. It's legal there, and it's not abused. Sure, making it legal would cause maybe a year or two of heavy smoking, but then people will realize that they're not getting away with anything cause it's legal, and they'll get over it. Kinda like drinking. You drink HEAVILY before you turn 21, then once you do turn 21, it gets really old, really fast.  Me droogies: Two positions currently available. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | Sorry, long post....Transript from NORML Newsletter from 3-28 High Court Mulls "Medical Necessity" for Marijuana Providers, Avoids Federal Supremacy Question Washington, DC: Supreme Court justices heard arguments for the first time today on whether organizations or individuals who violate federal marijuana laws may raise the defense of "medical necessity" to avoid a criminal conviction. Lawyers for the Justice Department appealed a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision rendered in July that stipulates there exists a class of patients who benefit medically from marijuana, and that they should not face federal criminal penalties for using it. The Ninth Circuit decision added that this legal protection should also extend to organizations that supply such patients with marijuana. NORML Executive Director R. Keith Stroup said that a majority of justices appeared skeptical that the medical necessity defense should protect third party providers such as the Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative, but seemed sympathetic to the use of medical marijuana by individual patients. Stroup further added that regardless of how the Supreme Court rules, state laws allowing qualified patients to use marijuana medicinally remain safely intact. "The case before the Court today is not a legal challenge to California's Proposition 215, nor is it a threat to any of the additional eight medical marijuana-use laws passed since 1996," he said. "In fact, the justices noted and the attorney for the Justice Department admitted that the question of federal supremacy as it pertains to the legality of state medical marijuana laws is not at issue here." Since 1996, nine states - Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Nevada, Oregon and Washington - have adopted legislation exempting patients who use marijuana under their doctor's supervision from criminal penalties under state law. To date, federal officials have not challenged the legality of any of those measures. Justice Department officials did initially threaten to sanction physicians who recommended marijuana to their patients in accordance with state law. However, a federal court enjoined the government from doing so, finding that a physician's right to discuss marijuana therapy with a patient is constitutionally protected. Justice officials later filed a civil suit in federal court against six California medical marijuana dispensaries, including the Oakland club. The Oakland Cooperative, which continues to operate as a patient resource center but no longer distributes medical marijuana, was the sole defendant in today's case.

| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 01 | They should legalize it. It works beautifully in cancer patients to enhance appetite and to ease the nausea experienced with chemo. As a person that works in health care I can tell you that tobacco and alcohol are probably worse culprits, but there are no big corporations lobbying in Washington for marijuana use. In fact, if anyone on this thread is from NJ and is knowledgeable about this subject please reply c and I'll give you my e-mail to reply directly. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: Corpse, this hasn't anything to do with a political party's position . Regardless of who is in the HOUSE, marijuana won't be legalized because of companies like DuPont who see pot as a threat to their "plastics" empire. Hemp blows this industrial revolution's "wonder" away, and the many uses of hemp would reduce their revenues over the long run, thereby threatening the very existence of this mega-corporation. back in the '60's during the height of the "Great Society" model, getting caught with a joint would've gotton you thrown in the slammer for God knows how long. And remember, the country was being lead by Dems. Eight years of Reagan, 4 years of Bush, 8 years of Clinton, nothing changes dude.... I say what the fuck , we're used to it, and we'll still have our smokes, so FUCK THEM ALL..... :)  Jeder oder Keiner, Alles oder Nichts This message was edited by Rommel on 3-29-01 @ 12:46 PM | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00 | Rommel, thats the funny thing, it is still illegal but most of us here could probably find pot in less than two hours. So, it really hasn't affected our lives. This this shows how stupid the govt is b/c the war on drugs isnt and never was working. They should have realized this by now and taken steps to leagalize pot. They could regulate it, have it grown in our own country, tax it and it could help stimulate the economy(i know this is a pipe dream but it makes sense). The same thing applies to prostitution....it still happens, so why not legalize, regualte it, tax the income, and make it safer(ie. blood tests and get the girls off the streets). I don't understand why things cant be done practically in this country. "Who is your daddy and what does he do?" | ||||
