Exclusive: ‘Politics of pot’ endangering state medical marijuana laws

Mark Zeitlin manages Harmony House, a medical marijuana dispensary in North Hollywood, California.

His product is popular and his services — providing medicinal marijuana — are in demand. But Mark has a problem. L.A. County prosecutors want to put him out of business.

“I have AIDS patients, cancer patients, people with all sorts of illness to treat, but the government is trying to shut me down,” he told Raw Story.

One of 439 facilities ordered to be shuttered last week by the L.A. County prosecutors as part of a crackdown on medical marijuana, Zeitlin said the booming business of medicinal healing through cannabis is under siege.

“Unofficially I think there are over 1,200 dispensaries in L.A. County, now I think they’re saying they want it down to like 150,” he said.

“It’s politics,” he averred. “I think someone is trying to get elected, but there are people that need us and we’re being threatened with a $2500-a-day fine and imprisonment. It’s not constitutional.”

Zeitlin’s constitutional argument may be uncertain, but he may be right about the politics of pot.

Current L.A. County Prosecutor Steve Cooley is the Republican nominee for the statewide office of attorney general.  The crackdown by his office on medicinal marijuana dispensaries came shortly after he won the Republican primary for the state’s attorney general job.

On the eve of a potentially tough election race in a Democratic state, the highly publicized get-tough stance on dispensaries garnered the veteran prosecutor  local, state and even national headlines.

But just as California led the way in the battle to loosen restrictions on the use of medicinal marijuana in 1996, workers in the medicinal marijuana business like Zeitlin are worried that the backlash in Los Angeles could be trend in a politically motivated government crackdown against the medical use of the natural herb.

“Do I think it’s a trend? Yeah,” he said.

A comprehensive review by Raw Story of recent steps taken by state and local governments to stall, limit or ban medical marijuana shows a pattern of tightening restrictions across the country in many of the states that have passed medical marijuana laws, a shift that comes after the Obama administration pledged the Justice Department would no longer pursue medical marijuana growers.

And in some case, like Los Angeles and New Jersey, the crackdown either precedes or comes after a tight election in a politically divided state.

- In Los Angeles, prosecutors released a list last week of 439 medical marijuana dispensaries that must either shut down or face fines of up to $2500 day and criminal charges, part of a citywide effort to crack down on the proliferation of medical marijuana facilities. Prosecutors estimate more than 2500 that have sprung up across the city since medical marijuana was legalized and said a loophole in city law that allowed over the counter purchases was being abused.

- Colorado Governor Bill Ritter signed into law an ordinance that allows local communities to shutter or ban medical marijuana dispensaries altogether.  The ban allows municipalities to opt out of the state medical marijuana law by either referendum or statute. Ritter, a Democrat, has exited the governor’s race, but his party faces a stiff battle in the fall, with a recent Rassmussen poll showing Republican Scott McInnis continuing to hold a slight lead over Democratic candidate John Hickenlooper.

- The election of Chris Christie, Republican governor in New Jersey has stalled the state’s recently-passed medical marijuana bill. The newly elected Governor persuaded the legislature this month to push back the effective date of the new law nearly a year. The governor says he needs more time to implement regulations for the bill signed by Democratic Governor Jim Corzine who was defeated last November by Christie in a tight race. Critics said the newly-elected governor is simply stalling until he builds support for the repeal of the state’s medical marijuana law.

– The New Jersey medical marijuana law and similar ordinance approved in Washington D.C are the first to preclude licensed patients from growing their own marijuana. The provision leaves patients with few options if government officials close down or limit the number of legal dispensaries.

- Residents of New Mexico who approved a state constitutional amendment to allow medical use in 2007 say state officials are dragging their feet in approving the vendors where medical marijuana can be purchased. Since 2007 only 5 dispensaries have been authorized to serve patients. Also, it’s taken up to seven months for a single application to be approved, leaving many people who are eligible to use medical marijuana unable to obtain it.

- On the local level the Aurora, Colorado city council has approved a November ballot measure that would place a moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries within city limits. Aurora is one of the first Colorado cities to take advantage of the more restrictive recently enacted state law.

Marijuana advocates who have been at the forefront of the battle to legalize it concede that opportunism can still drive the politics of pot, even when it goes against voter-approved laws. But they stop short of saying the tightening of laws is a trend.

“In some cases you have someone like Cooley who thinks it is politically expedient to crackdown on dispensaries, I don’t know why,” said Ethan Nadelmann, the Executive Director of the Drug Policy Institute, in an interview with Raw Story.

A major player in drafting medical marijuana legislation in states like California and Colorado, Nadelmann thinks some of the backlash against medical pot is simply a reaction to poor planning.

“When you have responsible laws like in Northern California, you don’t have a problem,” he said.

“It’s part of a cultural struggle too. Some people think, if you bring it above ground you give it legitimacy, but the truth is if you push it underground you force the people who have legal access to use the black market.”

Aurora councilman says most registered pot use is recreational

But in states like Colorado, there is also suspicion the medicinal value of pot may not be driving demand.

“I think 80 percent of the people who have registered for it want it for recreational use and 20 percent for legitimate purposes,” Aurora City Councilman Robert Broom explained in an interview with  Raw Story.

In Colorado, nearly 65,000 people signed up for medical marijuana cards in the past several years as the state began to grant more licenses for marijuana dispensaries. The onslaught of applicants prompted the Colorado Department of Public Health to stop offering assistance to new applicants.

“Due to high volume of applications, the office of vital records will no longer review applications,” the health department’s website says.

Broom has been a supporter of Aurora’s moratorium on dispensaries that will be up for a voter referendum this fall.

“I understand that marijuana does have health benefits. But these dispensaries can be a magnet for crime, they have both money and drugs which makes them attractive targets for criminals,” he said.

“There’s also the issue can the town allow something that on a Federal level is illegal?”

Efforts to push back against the growing widespread use of medical marijuana doesn’t shock addiction specialist Dr. Michael Hayes, who has spent his entire career in the middle of this country’s love-hate relationship with psychotropic substances.

“I’m not surprised,” Hayes said. “I’m actually more surprised at how much progress has been made towards decriminalization.”

For over four decades, Hayes has been at the forefront of dealing with a myriad of addictions as director of the Center for Addiction Treatment at Maryland General Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.

With a front-row seat on what he says is the destructive and often misguided emphasis on criminalizing drugs, Hayes has been a lifelong advocate of decriminalization for a variety of substances.

“It just delays the process of people starting treatment if they need it,” he says.

And that is why he is worried about the current trends.

“It’s the politics that messes everything up,” he said. “The easiest way to get elected is to criminalize a drug or crack down on people’s use of a drug.”

“All the studies on the decriminalization show that the crime, higher uses, all the so-called bad things that were predicted to happen, just did not happen.”

In his own practice treating people with opiate addictions, marijuana has been a useful, albeit unofficial tool.  But Hayes said the politics have made it difficult for him too look the other way.

“We have people at my methadone clinic whose only problem is they smoke a little weed, and we ignored it because they were doing well,” he said.

“But a few years ago the state required us to test for it, and it breaks my heart that I can’t give people the freedom from the clinic they deserve.

“It’s really a shame,” he said.

Part of the problem, Hayes and advocates say, is the slippery slope of criminalization that opens the door for more government intervention, which usually means putting addicts in jail.

“A great deal of the times it’s the Feds that drive this,” he said. “And it doesn’t help to imprison people for using drugs.”

Growing, selling, and even smoking marijuana was legal in the U.S. until 1937 when Congress passed the Marijuana Tax Act. The law placed strict regulations on personal use and growing of pot and hemp, guidelines that eventually became the basis for a national prohibition that prompted 750,000 arrests in 2008 for simple possession alone.

Since then, only fourteen states and the District of Columbia have mustered support to pass laws relaxing criminal penalties associated with the use of marijuana, all under the guise of medical use.

“It’s the lesser of many evils; if I had a choice between alcohol and marijuana, I’d take marijuana,” Hayes said.

That’s why Zeitlin says Harmony House is fighting back.

Bolstered by  a legal theory that the shuttering of his business is unconstitutional because some dispensaries are being allowed to stay open, Zeitlin says a LA circuit court  judge has granted his business a temporary stay of closure while the owner appeals the order to shut down.

“We have people to take care of,” he said. “We’re going to fight.”

    In Michigan, you can't have shops to sell it. You can either grow it yourself or hook up with a certified grower. They make it so hard, even though the voters voted it in. After the next governor's election when a repub gets in (folks blame Dem governor for all our problems), I can just imagine what they will do to dismantle the law. Of course folks won't get it unil it's too late. I just don't understand why folks don't realize what rightie repubs plan on doing time after time.

    “There’s also the issue can the town allow something that on a Federal level is illegal?”

    So, right-wing anti-government fucknobs are saying “but but but the FED!”..

    bullshit.

    This is their moral crusade, period. Broom even says so by suggesting 80% are “just in it to get high, man.. those damn stoners! fuck them, man… if that means fucking over some people who's lives are made better with that medicine, fuck them.. pot is devil stuff.”.

    And don't forget the “pro-corporate” aspect of this. Today, any old Joe off the street can grow and sell pot in a dispensary (from a technical standpoint)… there's no way to set up monopolies for “right-wing businessmen” at this point. By restricting the number of dispensaries, then finding some way to make it economically impossible for Joe C. Average to get a permit to sell, they open the door for their buddies and larger businesses. Corrupt businessmen have been behind this kind of thing since business was created.

  • Joe

    The 'war on drugs' is nothing but tool – like the IRS which also should be abolished – for the government to get into a place where it has no business. I don't need a govt. to tell me what's right and what's wrong.

    If it has legitimate purpose and is not harmful, then these people have no leg to stand on for keeping it illegal.. yet they continue to attempt to keep it illegal. Nice? disgusting is more like it.

  • Sambacomet

    Marijuana should be legal.Laws against it do violence to the spirit of the Constitution. That said it is true that medical use is often a cover for recreational use. The notion that a small town has judisdiction to enforce federallaws is absurd,as is the notion that a dispensary is a crime magnet because it has mony and drugs.same could be said for any drug store.Banks are clearly magnets for crime,street and white collar.let's shut them down too.Cars are clearly involved in the majority of crimes… the list goes on

    I would ask those who are anti-legalization or even anti-medical cannabis use this ONE question: What EXACTLY is it that cannabis users DO that makes us such a threat to society? What is the ACTION that we do that makes it so necessary to screw with nearly a million of us a year?

    And then there is the stupid statement from the idiot from Aurora in MY own state, who says that these places are magnets from crime: Point to ONE time in this state where there has been ANY crime! There has been NO legal issue with any dispensary in the state. There have been NO robberies, NO violence, NO NOTHING. QUIT THE GODDAMNED LYING!

    Then ask yourself this: When 75% of Americans are on some prescribed drug or another, is there ANY other prescribed substance that is screwed with by the gov't like this? NOT ONE. You can get a prescription for any drug out there, the LARGE number of which will KILL YOU. Cannabis is safer than ANY prescription drug, and yet they keep doing everything they can to keep anyone from getting it, REGARDLESS of the will of the people.

    In Denver, where the PEOPLE told the cops in a recent election to make cannabis their LAST enforcement priority, arrests for cannabis have GONE UP. Cops can't be trusted to do ANYTHING the PEOPLE want them to do, regardless of the fact that the cops are the EMPLOYEES, NOT the employers.

    This whole thing is just goddamned stupid as hell. It's time that we as a country told the authoritarians who want to lock up as many of us as they can FOR PROFIT to go fuck themselves. They are RUINING our society with their paranoid bullshit and it's time to shove something right back in THEIR faces like they have done to us for the last 30 years. It costs us tens of billions a year to lock up people who are doing NO harm to society whatsoever. We can't afford to keep the authoritarians happy at the expense of the rest of us. Prison needs to be reserved for DANGEROUS people, not cannabis users.

    Maybe it's time for massive smoke ins, where there are just SO many people that the cops CAN'T arrest everyone. All over the country. EVERY DAY. I honestly can't come up with any other way to tell the authoritarians to FUCK OFF AND DIE. This nonsense has GOT to stop, and it has got to stop ASAP. Ruining people's lives and our society for the sake of the truly paranoid and the incessantly greedy is NOT the way to have a country. The harm being done to our country is too excessive and needs to be ended.

  • nedclark

    As a proud Lefty-Liberal living in SoCal, even I was astonished by the explosion of `medical marijuana' dispensaries popping up throughout greater LA. Let's be honest – the sheer number of these storefronts without any doubt far exceeded the levels needed to supply legitimate (medical) users.

    Unfortunately, the market was dominated by `entrepreneurs' in compassionate-provider clothing, who opened up hundreds of these shops to poke `the man' in the eye. They badly over-reached, and this is the predictable back-lash.

    So the stoners briefly had their fun – and now people who have a genuine medical need for this relatively innocuous treatment will suffer.

  • marblex

    Took the words right off my keyboard. Big Pharma will NEVER allow marijuana to be legalized, because it would threaten so many of their products right off the shelves.

    Marijuana is safer and more effective than many pharmaceutical preparations.

    It is illegal for two reasons:

    1. Big pharma can't patent and profit from it
    2. Illegal drug money has been keeping the ponzi economy going. You already know that the banking and investment communities' “assets” are WORTHLESS. How do you think they have managed to stay afloat all these years? LAUNDERING DRUG MONEY.

  • marblex

    It's big pharma and the banks. The right wingers who jump on board this bandwagon are just hapless followers doing what is wrong for themselves, as usual.

    About 40 years ago I told a doctor I was using pot. He replied it must be helping me because it appeared it was getting more blood to my brain which is good. Today I am very healthy. Screw the right wing and their irrational moralism. I say health first and foremost.

  • davewtf

    If you watch the documentary “American Drug War: The Great White Hope” you will see *exactly* why drugs are kept illegal, even pot. Politicians consider ranting against drug use an easy way to get more votes, and the prisons have become very lucrative. Hell, the company that is the largest provider of prisons is traded on the stock market, and it's profits are *directly* tied to how many inmates they have on a daily basis.

    As long as conservatives can make a buck off of incarcerating people who simply use drugs, be it marijuana, cocaine, etc, ALL drugs will be illegal. Too much profit in keeping these drugs illegal.

    And Obama is as guilty as any other president in keeping this madness going.

  • voter

    Ned,

    Your are ignorant of basic facts about the needs of people and their health. Clearly you have loads of experience pontificating about the cookie-cutter fear whipped up by typical mainstream crackpot news reporting and your own bland-grayish, narrow minded views…

    Please do some basic research and open that sealed space where those rational thoughts may dwell.

    Google: “US Patent 6630507″

    Now why would the Federal Government both Own the Patent on the medicinal uses of Cannabis, then claim there's no medical benefit? Many tens of thousands of non-violent drug offenders have been and are being, locked-up prison… For a freaking plant!

    Its a racket numb-nuts!

    At the advice of a medical practitioner and trusted friend, I used pot two years ago instead of narcotics, to manage my acute pain after major orthopedic surgery. I was astounded how effective it was at relieving my pain, without side effects (not any druggy, pharma clouds). Just no pain!

    The medicinal oil of Cannabis used to fight cancers and disease are taken internally, they would not interest joy-ride smokers… Because it does not make people feel “stoned”.

    Stop the refer madness bullshit and grow up.

  • davewtf

    As I have often said, the government needs to show why drugs should be illegal. We should not be required to show why they should be legal. And there is no good argument for why drugs are illegal.

    Marijuana is a medicinal herb you can grow at home, cutting out the pharmaceutical companies and cutting into their profits.

    My father was in a serious car accident last year. Because of other health problems, it's too dangerous to operate to correct the injury to his neck. Leaving him in chronic, debilitating pain. He's tried every pain killer the doctors have prescribed. None of them work. Marijuana is the only thing which reduces his pain.

    Physical Health is only part of it. There is Emotional health as well, to consider. As a species, we need things to do to entertain ourselves for our brains to be vibrant and function well. The modern world isn't very curious for most people, all the hard work has been done… people (in the modern world) today live a very comfortable life, they NEED ways to distract themselves from the relative boredom of day to day life. That need, today, is filled with consumerism. Toys, gadgets, internet, TV and all that crap. None of those things are all that good for you and none of those things are free/cheap.

    Imagine if people had the (legal) option of pulling a plant out of their back yard, smoking it, and sitting on their couch for hours talking or drawing or painting; but most importantly, NOT consuming. People communicating in meaningful ways about meaningful topics and not spending money on garbage they don't need? having no _desire_ to piss away money but rather, desire human interaction or pursuits of the mind?

    It's not just big pharma worried about losing drug profits, I would guess everyone out there in business understands that “stoners don't care to shop”. And the people intent on keeping the masses uneducated know full well that stoners talk, think, contemplate.. that's bad if you're trying to control people. The reason this is hard to solve is because so many people are coming at it from so many different angles. It's very complex which means most people don't care to understand it (they would if they were stoned, though!), so they just suck up the propaganda and “fear teh devil weed!”.

  • shrapnel

    Advocates for Medical Marijuana (and I include myself) need to up the ante. The East Coast Strategy to create a corporate monopoly for the supply of cannabis is making it harder and harder for patients to get their medicine – anything short of the right to grow your own is basically useless. We need to unite behind a strategy of full decriminalization in response.

    Prohibition is absolutely abhorrent in a supposedly free society, and the fascists who support it have no science, no data of any description that supports their position. It is simply a profit center for the instruments of a police state.

    Thank big pharma and the mormons but remember our government doesn't care what or who we're dependent on as long as they get their financial cut and lobbying power come voting time. It's all about money and re-election.

    IF we had INTELLIGENT leaders they would understand that Marijuana is already America's largest cash crop. We're in a recession with +10% unemployment rates across the country. Marijuana's legalization would produce real jobs again for working class citizens. Jobs in agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, distribution, regulation…the list goes on.

    The revenues from taxation would quickly be the helping hand we need to get out of this recession. People will be happier, healthier and best of all crime would be reduced to the point we could put away REAL criminals and keep them there. There is no reason to incarcerate citizens for marijuana when states are releasing dangerous repeat offenders because of their lack of funds to keep feeding the prison complex machine.

    The war on marijuana is a war of fear, ignorance and greed. So far they've won the legal battle but the war was lost before it begun. Prohibition doesn't work. It won't last because it can't.

    Big pharma and the religious right can follow their herd of sheep right off a cliff.

    LEGALIZE NOW!

Farking Christ what a disaster that would cause, with peace and prosperity breaking out all around the world. People might give up on the phony religious cults and the popes priests and ministers would have to hire whores, and the ayatollas and rabbis might have to come to an agreement. No, we couldn't have that! It might change the whole world.

  • Brian

    The magnet for crime argument is such a red herring. Besides there being no evidence that is actually occurring, one only has to point to drug stores and pharmacies. Those drugs, on the black market are illegal, and pharmacies from time to time have been broken into, yet, we still have pharmacies.

    Arresting users to the tune of 750,000 people per year is just insane, when the proponents of such criminalization turn around and then argue that their stance is based on the potential for harm. Sending people to jail for cannabis use isn't harmful to society? The harm of some legal prescriptions, like oxycontin is well known, yet that dangerous opiate which will cause severe withdrawl symptoms which keeps people hooked, is legally obtained through prescription. Cannabis, even long term chronic use, which constitutes a small percentage of users, will not cause major withdrawl symptoms. There is no doubt that some, although a small percentage, of daily users will become psychologically addicted to cannabis. That happens with alchohol, to a much much larger degree, and no one in their right mind would want to revisit prohibition.

    Yet we have prohibition for the most part, on a substance that for the worst side effect for most people, is perhaps an urge to buy a few more cool posters to look at, or a lava lamp and some incense, for that next encounter with a nice sativa strain.

    Most users just want it legal, and regulated like alchohol, which by the way is a regulated and if not properly purchased and used, an illegal substance.

    The medical value of cannabis for cancer patients, AIDS patients, is well known and established. The medical value is legitimate, in specific doses of specific strains, in treating other ailments, which use is incorrectly deemed 'recreational'. I have a friend, who doesn't like to get stoned, but she uses a precise dose of an indica dominant strain, before going to sleep, which has helped her sleep well for the first time in years and years, as she has some significant chronic pain issues. She takes the hit, not every single night, but when she can tell she won't sleep without it, and then has an uninterrupted restful sleep. This has made a huge difference in her life over the last few years, and ironically enough, she still doesn't like to get 'high'. Meaning, she doesn't like a wakeful high.

    For those who just like high, wakeful or not, where exactly is the crime? What would be so bad if the sales of black light posters and incense went up proportionally to cannabis use?

    Right Wingers? Get real. The extreme right wing, those that would like to see Ron Paul's positions forwarded, would beg to differ. It is the middle that keeps us in bondage…those Neo-Cons and Neo-Libs that would pander to frightened old ladies and religious extremists…although the little old ladies are now the hippies of the 60's and not so afraid of MJ.

    Look at the rhetoric and from whence it eminates and you'll see both sides of the isle talking shit.

  • Swooper420

    Actually, compounds from the cannabis plant have been patented. In fact, the US Government holds a patent for neuroprotection. Google it yourself. Here's what the first 2 paras say….

    “On the one hand, United States federal government officials have consistently denied that marijuana has any medical benefits. On the other, the government actually holds patents for the medical use of the plant.

    Just check out US Patent 6630507 titled “Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants” which is assigned to The United States of America, as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services.”

    So the Government lies…no surprise there. In fact, the Drug Czar is required by law to lie! NOT KIDDING!! http://www.drugwarrant.com/articles/drug-czar-r… for the facts.

  • http://thetinfoilhatsociety.com/ Ms. TF Hat

    Politically motivated is right. Here in Arizona there was a story in the local paper that quoted state representatives saying that 'if' medical marijuana was legalized in this state (which it has been by referendum THREE TIMES since the 90's) that the govt would charge a 'luxury tax' for each purchase…WTF?? If it's medical, I don't think it's quite a luxury, unless access to care itself is becoming a luxury….

    If you ask me, it's all about the govt needing to make money from us, the citizens…48% of the taxpayers last year owed not one penny of taxes, most got money back. That's because we're all too poor thanks to the politics of shipping ANYTHING like manufacturing, industry, phone assistance, etc overseas. We can't all work at McDoodle's, serving each other Big Burgers…it's doesn't work that way. So 'sneak taxes' so to speak are the only way the govt can wring any money from us 'turnips'. Speed cameras, luxury taxes, fines for possession of something the state's people have already legalized, and so forth. More's coming, mark my words.

  • rawstory

    The Federal law against marijuana are outdated and ridiculous. We allow people free purchasing of tobacco and alcohol, both of which cause far more suffering than the use of marijuana.

  • Mikel McGrew

    The laws against marijuana use are outdated and ridiculous. We allow free purchasing of tobacco and alcohol, both of which do far more harm than marijuana. Access to medical marijuana is at the very least a humanitarian act. To tax it, to make it harder for those who need it to obtain is is cruel. Many cancer patients and those with HIV find relief from the suffering from marijuana use. Our government spends obscene amounts of money trying to fight the drug problem in this country, especially with regard to drugs coming in from Mexico. It is so easy to jerk one's knee and spout off about the use of drugs instead of actually doing some research and thinking about the issue. Politicians DEPEND on such wedge issues to divide us and prevent us from thinking about the actual threats to our society – the lack of jobs, the lack of adequate health care for many, the rising cost of living, the billions going overseas to fight two wars and we are NOT winning and that show no signs of ever ending, and finally, the oil in the Gulf of Mexico. As long as they can keep us squabbling about marijuana, gay rights, the money given to the poor, and immigration, they keep us right where they want us, and they can continue with the ruination of our country.

  • wjcormier

    More is coming than anyone could imagine… The issue of outsourcing has been swept under the carpet by our corrupt, corporate owned MSM and now the general public hardly thinks about it even though this is the number one reason our economy has a “jobless recovery.” Like the BP oil spill and every other problem we face, Americans (The majority) are living in the dark and have no knowledge of how serious several issues are nor are informed properly on those issues that the MSM pays lip-service to.

    We are experiencing first-hand the results of fascism creeping into every aspect of our government as they wrench more and more control of the press to keep the general population in the dark. If it isn't talked about then it isn't addressed by the public and ultimately, the corporate stance on issues rules the country. Democracy USA – Rest in Peace.

    Look… as long as the DEA is in existance, the push to criminalize marijuana will continue. These bozos make BILLIONS from it's prohibition. If it were to become legal they would no longer receive bribes, kick backs, hush money, or taxpayer dollars to “fight” it's importion into America. They are probably the worlds largest dealer of marijuana, larger even than Mexico.

    What gives anyone the authority to vote that I cannot smoke it, eat it or wear it?

    Marijuana prohibition has been a total failure and is perhaps this country's greatest mistake. Not only has it created criminals out of nearly a third of the country's populace, it costs our society billions of dollars every year, creates a strain on our prison system, and has little or no effect on marijuana use in the US. In some cases, prosecuting marijuana use has turned non-violent, middle class kids into violent and unpredictable, career criminals. Once a person has a criminal conviction on their record, they are far less likely to find a good job and become a useful member of society. Other countries with more liberal drug laws have much lower rates of drug addiction among their people. I invite you to my web-pages devoted to raising awareness on the assault on our civil liberties: http://freethegods.blogspot.com/2010/04/420-in-…

    I've addressed this the last time you posted it. You _consent_ to work as a group. You don't have to, but the rest of us agree to live by “rules”, and we make the rules ourselves (no King does it, no unaccountable birth righted individual does.. WE do). If you chose to break the rules, we've agreed on what the punishment will be.. you can even READ those rules and punishments BEFORE you “choose to act”.

    If you want to live in complete chaos, with NO rules and NO ONE to EVER answer to, go live in the jungle some place. You want to benefit from the cooperative fruits of “society”, but want to do so as a complete anarchist. They aren't compatible… and the good news is, you're FREE TO LEAVE.

    buh bye.. If you “choose not to agree to the rule of law”, you have a right to leave. Go. Now. You're a net drain on the overall IQ and enlightenment of this nation, and it already is in dire straights.. we don't need any more ignorance parading as wisdom.

  • Litebug

    You're full of crap.

  • Litebug

    Here in Oregon there seems to be 2 items of the medical marijuana law that didn't go into effect. One is that doctors do not have to mention it as a possible treatment to their patients who might benefit from it. My husband is currently undergoing chemo for stage 3 cancer of the esophagus. He has not been told one word about marijuana. His doctor is associated with OSHU.

    The other is even more insidious. No one using pot, EVEN WITH A PROPER LICENSE, can get prescription drugs that contain any “narcotics” for pain, sleep, anti-anxiety, depression, etc. They seem to view anyone using pot as a low down, dirty criminal, unworthy of their best care. One is told they must go to “pain management” except that this species of doctor is as scarce as hen's teeth, insurance doesn't usually cover it, it's expensive, and can involve driving to some other city every renewal. It is a big Catch 22 and it's pretty much swept under the rug. Undoubtedly many medical marijuana patients also need some of these other medications and they are put right in the middle between the legalization and the stubborness, stupidity, misinformation and greed of the medical and pharmaceutical establishment. They mean to break the back of Oregon medical marijuana, if they can, and it doesn't bother them at all to be adding to people's misery. Being relatively new to the state, coming from California, this has been quite a rude shock and turn-off. I'm not thinking very highly of the Oregon medical establishment after experience with it. They seem to be far more interested in being drug cops than in caring and doing what's best for their patients. Maybe some in private practice do differently but the big clinics are heartless, self-righteous and mainly interested in covering their asses and feeding their purses. Medicare patients have almost no place else to go but the big clinics. Some of these doctors seem to have used “Reefer Madness” as their main source of information. It's really disgusting. I'd like to see Oregon medical pot users and supporters do something about this lousy state of affairs and get those 2 restrictions eliminated.
