Medical Marijuana Awareness Day on the Sunshine Coast
By FlashGordon May 29, 2002
Shortly after Steve Tuck his wife and son arrived and the joy of his release on bail was infectious and spread more wildly when the Kubby's and their children too showed up and joined the crew beside the hall glad to be free. They had a harrowing experience in general lock up and although treated well by the officers that arrested them had been abused by the corporals and guards in lock up their medical needs not well taken care of transferred from one shit, piss, vomit and cum filled drunk tank into another at first and when Kubby banged on the wall because his blood pressure was peaking out the guards had threatened to beat him.

Tuck, suffering from morphine withdrawal had stood up for him, getting between him and the guards warning that at least one of them would end up cold as a cucumber if they tried to hurt his cell mate. On the second day when Steve Tuck was pissing blood and Kubby spiting up blood and Tuck was losing hope Kubby reminded him of the higher calling the two hunger striking prisoners were called to and that the sacrificed they were making to the movement were their payment in blood and that they would be remembered and change would come.

Three US Medical Marijuana Refugees Detained in British Colombia
In the last few years, British Colombia has replaced Amsterdam as the refuge of choice for cannabis culture refugees fleeing oppression in the United States. Lured by the scenic beauty, civilized popular attitudes toward marijuana, and a government that generally reflects those attitudes, the flow of American expatriates into British Colombia has steadily increased. But a series of arrests of prominent medical marijuana refugees in the last two weeks suggests that the Canadian government, feeling the heat from its southern neighbor, is ready to crack down on the growing colony of Americans who have settled in British Colombia.

I wanted to write-in here and tell everybody that I have several thousand research papers about cannabis finally posted online for those who wish to study or site them in papers,etc. This has been a hell-of-a lot of work but I believe that only by shoving the truth down their throats will we ever have a prayer of being free.
Peace, Steve Tuck

Renee Boje fights extradition to US
As I watch my wife out of the corner of my eye with my 2-year-old son almost asleep at her breast, I can think of nothing that has weighed more heavily over my heart than the US extradition order against her for a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years to life. F U L L S T O R Y

U.S. Drug War's Target: A New Mom
By Andrew Struthers, Special to the Sun
Source: Vancouver Sun December 21, 2002
Gorgeous, guileless and naturally blissed out, Vancouver's Renee Boje, 32, is the perfect poster girl for pot activists; she's also a new mother and martyr for a cause she never dreamed she'd represent, a marijuana madonna with everyone from Noam Chomsky to Woody Harrelson writing letters on her behalf.

Stop The Federal War On Medical Marijuana by Dr. Andrew Weil
TODAY, in dozens of cities and towns across the United States, something remarkable happened: Thousands of people battling cancer, AIDS and other terrible illnesses, their families, friends and supporters delivered cease-and-desist orders to the federal Drug Enforcement Administration to stop it from blocking their access to a needed medication.

Their request was so simple, so obviously correct that it is heartbreaking that people -- many very seriously ill -- were forced to deliver their message in this way, with many risking arrest. But as individuals who have found that medical marijuana relieves their symptoms when conventional medicines fail, they felt they had no choice: The federal government continues to fight an irrational war against medical marijuana, and the sick and struggling are its principal victims.

Make no mistake: The government's demonization of marijuana is irrational. When I first published a study in the journal, Science, on marijuana's physical and psychological effects back in 1968, I was certain that medical use of the plant would be legal within five years. This is, after all, a medicinal plant for which no fatal dose has ever been established and that has been used in folk medicine for millennia.
