George McMahon is one of only five patients who receive medical marijuana from the United States Government through a little-known FDA program called Investigational New Drug. He can legally smoke his medicine in every state of the union. He smokes ten government joints each day to treat pain, spasms, and nausea associated with Nail Patella Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that can cause bone deformities, immune system dysfunction, and renal failure. George is a recipient of a National Certificate of Heroism for his participation in the President's Drug Awareness Program, and he has traveled the world educating people about the medical benefits of marijuana. He is the co-author of Prescription Pot: One Man's Mission to Legalize Medical Marijuana, due this fall through Penguin/Putnam distribution.

George is scheduled to appear at the University of Kansas on Monday, April 21 at 7pm. University police have threatened to arrest George if he possesses or uses his federally-authorized cannabis. The State of Kansas Attorney General's office asserts that George will be in violation of state and federal law if he brings his medical marijuana to Kansas. They are disregarding the concept that federal policy pre-empts state law. George's legal right to access and use his marijuana (along with his right to travel, and subsequently, his freedom of speech) are being threatened by bureaucrats, state attorneys, and law enforcement officials. If George is arrested, he could linger in jail for days before the federal government authorizes his release. By the time George is released, he could be extremely ill.

Please contact the following departments and urge them to respect George McMahon's legal rights.

McMahon's appearance Monday was without incident. Officials with the KU Public Safety Office on Friday had threatened to arrest McMahon if he was found smoking pot on campus.

But Lt. Schuyler Bailey said he spoke with McMahon later that day and received assurance his smoking would be legal under federal law. The Public Safety Office didn't send officers to Monday night's lecture.

During his speech, McMahon also sounded off on the conviction of Ed Rosenthal, a California marijuana advocate who was convicted for growing medicinal marijuana plants. Rosenthal is represented by Topeka attorney Bob Eye, who lives in Lawrence.

"I'm pretty angry," McMahon said of the conviction. "That's a pretty nasty thing to do to someone who's trying to be compassionate."

sorry to burst your 'political bubble' but i don't think anyone (save a handful) of people on this board really give a rats ass.

i am one of them.

but, it is kinda interesting that in every other medical case it has been state (for) v. federal (against) whereas this time it's federal (for) v. state (against).

a government by the people, for the people. sigh.

For the record and for the illiterate...

Nothing I post is political. Its simple physics.
Cannabis is or it isn't. The refs I bring to back the articles only prove the physics of Ganja. Politics and paranoids and lazy stupid people try to make it out to be political. There is nothing about Ganja prohibition that is anything other than fascism and profits. Period.
Medicinally it has been used and is used and is not changed by political administrations. Its hemp food and fiber and fuel potential is also nothing more than greedy corporations keeping a viable alternative off the free trade market. The same greedy fascist assholes wanting prohibition to keep the prices high so their crop can be more rewarding are insects to me but again not political. What happened to George was ego from a renta cop braindead slut. The same as Waldo or the rest working for prohibition.

Remove the bogus laws is what I've always advocated. The articles or information is for the peoples awareness and nothing more.

I've seen the corruption and filthy rotten system and have no doubts about why Ganja is removed from the public and no doubts as to the system correcting itself. In spite of local laws and state laws the feds and international corporations are behind the prohibition. Perpetuating it going on 70 years and only the masses can change it in my opinion. But to get the masses one must give information that they can check and for different opinions the media won't broadcast. Schools are censored as well and only physics will make changes and free the weed of mamons adulterations. So for the lazy fucks criticizing everything and everybody without lifting a finger will be shown as the assholes they are. Those politicking the issue on both sides will also find themselves in a sticky wicket. Those who know will be rewarded or at least have the knowledge that their attempts to educate and enlighten the people was out of righteousness and not greed. So whether anyone reads or gives a shit it doesn't matter to me. I just post it and back up what I post and care less what sheople graze on. I shed karma giving random acts of kindness with the information that could help a loved one or relative, not if they accept it. Thats up to each individual. So for the vast void of logic and sense posted by the fearful or obedient learn to read or go away and stop being an ass in public. We can read your post and your idiotic words just don't jive with reality. Sounds like a politician to me.

Peace, Love and Liberty or the Merchants of DEAth and their brain dead slut monkey's following like cucarachas...

MY god! I can't believe I missed this post! Just reading it got my blood boiling, but thankfully, all went well. It would have been a most difficult task for me to stand up to it anyway, as I am a huge proponent of states rights. For me to stand up and say that federal policy supercedes state policy would be in direct contrast to what I believe in. I believe that this war will be one on a state by state basis, without federal backing. We as states of the union have a right to enact and enforce our own laws, as we here in California did back in 1996 with our 215 initiative which is now Ca health and safety code 11362.5. This is still holding strong despite repeated attempts by the government to supercede it. Our next goal will be to force the supreme court here in california to allow for a medical marijuana defense within california courthouses under federal jurisdiction. That will break the bank, the U.S. government will then have a difficult time prosecuting these cases here, and precedent setting cases will increase on a federal level. It wont mean the end to the war on pot patients here, but it would sure enable victory against the feds on their own turf.

Hey Budforce

I am a Ganja hospice Home Health Aid in Santa Cruz and I have been supplying and administering Ganjameds for patients about 12 years here, and another 20 years before that in Florida. I have never had a problem with supplying patients or using myself. Since we passed 215 and Measure A in 92 and the recent hand out protest I have little or no insecurities using and providing. Here in Santa Cruz.

With that said I also have no doubt that Fed law trumps state law and county and city law and considering the civil rights movement I have to agree Feds should have the upper hand if it was a legitimate crime. But since it isn't, and since the original law was based on lies and every year since 37 maintaining the dysfunction. So in the case of Ganja the Feds are illegal and practicing fascism keeping out competition. Nothing more. The profits on prisons and maintaining the Ganjawar is why its still harming citizens. Nothing to do with the dangers of pot smoking. Again the only way the corporations can be circumvented is an end around the feds with a Constitutional Convention of 2/3rds of the citizens. The Santa Cruz case will supply info and give lawyers fodder but it won't change the reality of the Feds and their ties to the Corporations selling crude oil plastic alternatives to Ganja and hemp. Though the feds aren't after me or other individuals either as far as I've seen. Only those in the headlines or hugely profiting. I have three physicians authorizing Ganja for my patients, though I won't ask them for a signature because of the risk of them losing their license. At the end of the day the patients are medicated. I'm toking and no one has to get their undies in a twist.

Fascism is an enemy to capitalism and that is our problem. The Ganja is a red herring to avoid the debate and profit on keeping competition off the trade market. No other reason for 99% of the Ganja eradications to be non psychoactive ditchweed hemp. Except to raise statistics and keep food, fuel and fiber competition at bay. So this isn't about hippies or pot and the sheople perpetuating by their non participation are as guilty as those intentionally maintaining this dysfunction selling $400.00 ozs or getting $20 billion budgets. Not that growers shouldn't profit somewhat. Hell they're the true public servants. But I won't give respect to the large commercial chemical grows taking advantage of the state laws shunning patients for profits. Educating the masses will bring legitamacy to the cause. Not typical politics. imho

Keep the Faith,
Peace, Love and Liberty or the Merchants of DEAth!

"There is a myth about such highs: the user has an illusion of great insight, but it does not survive scrutiny in the morning. I am convinced that this is an error, and that the devastating insights achieved when high are real insights; the main problem is putting these insights in a form acceptable to the quite different self that we are when we're down the next day. Some of the hardest work I've ever done has been to put such insights down on tape or in writing. "
