"We don't think that the best thing for people who are really sick is to
make them high and send them away. - John Walters.

Mr Walters, the effective dose for cannabis for ailments such as MS is
lower than the effective dose for recreational use. It DOES NOT get the
pain sufferer high. Sativex, the medicinal version of Cannabis available
in Canada is whole-extract of cannabis. That means "concentrated cannabis"
in the simple terms that you might possibly understand, Mr Walters.

Drug Czar: Medical Marijuana's Days Are Numbered

8/1/2005

State legislatures' efforts to enact medical marijuana programs have
slowed considerably since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled this year that the
federal government may prosecute individuals who receive prescriptions for
the drug, according to the director of the White House Office of National
Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).

The Associated Press reported on July 29 that John Walters made his
comments after meeting with drug treatment professionals and law
enforcement officials in Hawaii. In 2000, Hawaii became the first state to
establish a medical marijuana program through state legislation rather
than a ballot measure.

"I think it's dying out," Walters said to reporters. "The real issue here
is, is it the safe and best way for medical treatment? We don't think that
the best thing for people who are really sick is to make them high and
send them away."

Walters' assessment drew a sharp rebuke from Steve Kubby, national
director of the American Medical Marijuana Association. Kubby counteracted
Walters' remark that smoked marijuana has not met the scientific standard
for effectiveness by saying that "hundreds" of peer-reviewed studies have
do***ented its benefits for people with cancer, arthritis and other
illnesses.

"The drug czar has blood on his hands for blocking the humane and medical
use of cannabis for sick, disabled and dying people," Kubby said.

I was told never to talk ill of the dead, and with regards to Walter's
numbered days, good.

But most medical offenders abuse cannabis by taking to much and so becoming
'high' once can be a mistake, but most like getting 'high' and do so every
day... I don't need proof my word is good enough and I say that is how it
is...

You are preaching to the choir.

Walters wants to kill us all.

Fortunately, we don't have to take your word for it.

Please get your quotes right.

Medical users will say that you are wrong and that your word is bad.

Not at all. People can't be made to suffer if they're dead. So, is this
a war on dangerous drugs, or is it a war on getting high? It's hard for
me to tell, since all the propaganda seems to indicate that a can of
beer and a rock of crack are exactly the same thing.

When I was on chemotherapy, the people at the VA _warned_ me a number of
times, that I'd better not be smoking pot, because they would be
checking. And I _warned_ them right back, that if they tested me without
my knowledge or consent, that I would have them all in court. For
government people they certainly don't seem to know much about the
Constitution!

In any case, they must have known it might help more than the dirty
narcotics that they _did_ want me to take. I let them know that I don't
smoke it, because I don't like it, and not because it illegal. My
knowing the difference really seemed to set them off.

A quarter of a century of this garbage is quite enough. They've made my
country fascist with it, and it's time to do something. I don't use any
of it, and I hate the drug warriors guts. They were all born 5 centuries
too late.

Sorry if I sounded radical. I was in pain that day, and I was angry.
Today I am in pain, but I am not angry. They are going to make me nuts,
I think, so I'd better not give them any ammunition.

US courts do not work. The justice department needs to be destroyed.
Bush kidnapped me over 20 years ago and planted a monitoring device in
my back.
What we need is total aniliation of the republican party.

Eric Johnson is one of those deluded republican psychopaths that reside
in amsterdam to hide from republican wrath so he can cunsume cannabis
yets votes for republican leaders in the police states.
