Ugly Truth About The WoD

Marijuana Drug Czar Distorts Report
Astonishingly, Walters claims that the 1999 Institute of Medicine report didn't urge the government to allow seriously ill people legal access to medical marijuana on a case-by-case basis. What the institute did say about medical use of marijuana by AIDS and cancer patients was "nausea, appetite loss, pain and anxiety are all afflictions of wasting, and all can be mitigated by marijuana." Maybe these experts were duped. Maybe John Walters, unbeknown to us, has medical expertise beyond that of the world's leading physicians and researchers. Or maybe he's lying in a desperate attempt to save a collapsing policy.

Congress Considers Dangerous Mandatory Minimum Sentences For Marijuana
Ask Your Member of Congress To Oppose H.R.1528!

Read about this bill

Please take action against a dangerous bill that is currently making its way through Congress. H.R. 1528, "The Safe Access to Drug Treatment & Child Protection Act of 2005" would dramatically increase mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug offenses. Under the proposed legislation, sponsored by House Judiciary Chair James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), any person age 21 or over who attempts or conspires to offer marijuana to someone younger than 18 years old shall face a mandatory sentence of 10 years in prison. The mandatory penalty for a subsequent violation of the statute is life in prison.

Defendants found to have distributed marijuana near a drug treatment facility, or who have offered cannabis to someone who is currently or has been previously enrolled in drug treatment program, would receive a mandatory prison sentence of five years to life under the proposal. This effectively means that anyone caught passing a joint near a treatment facility, or to anyone who has even been in drug treatment, will face a mandatory five years in prison.

Please take two minutes to write your member of Congress today and urge him or her to oppose H.R. 1528, an outrageous and expensive addition to an already failed public policy.

Immigration Canada would accept only the opinion of a specialist of their own choosing. But they refused to appoint any such specialist! In other words, because they refused to appoint anyone, there is no acceptable Canadian medical opinion on Steve’s condition. And now they try to blame him for having “provided insufficient medical evidence.”

There are none so blind as those who refuse even to look. Read Full Story... http://www.marijuananews.com/news.php3?sid=852

Appeals court judge proposes state approach to deal with federal drug crimes
A long-time federal appeals court judge is calling on the legal system to take a radical step against drug-related crime. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Donald Lay says locking up drug addicts and dealers for longer and longer sentences hasn't worked. But federal prosecutors say Lay's idea is just too extreme.

Medical Marijuana User Banned from RegattatBy Eliot Kleinberga
Source: Palm Beach Post* September 27, 2005
Florida -- Irvin Rosenfeld, the South Florida stockbroker who gained national attention for his fight to freely use marijuana as medicine, has run into resistance from one of the nation's top sailing events for the disabled and expects to be barred from next year's event.

The reason: an independent group that monitors use of drugs by athletes won't exempt the pot Rosenfeld uses to treat tumors that would otherwise leave him bedridden and in pain.

Rainbow Farm Massacre

Federal and state police kill owner of Rainbow Farm


Tom Crosslin - Nov. 10, 1954 - Sept. 3, 2001
Rollie Rohm - Dec. 27, 1972 - Sept. 4, 2001


On Labor Day weekend 2001, "Tom and Rollie were executed by the forces of so-called law and order" at the campground near Vandalia. "They were not killed to protect the public safety, to punish them for smoking cannabis or because of the plants in their basement," according to the Michigan Cannabis Action Network announcement of the vigil.

"Our friends worked boldly and passionately to change destructive, unjust laws and to inspire same; and in the end they rejected the authority of a court that had amply shown its bias. They refused to hide. They refused to run. They refused to bow down. And for that, the Police State ground them up in its gears."
