Today's vote proves yet ordsprog

Today's vote proves yet again that the movement to protect medical marijuana patients from arrest is unstoppable. Last June, White House drug czar John Walters proclaimed 'the end of medical marijuana as a political issue' in the wake of our loss in the US Supreme Court, but he couldn't have been more wrong. The public, the medical community, and Rhode Island legislators agree that patients with cancer, AIDS or multiple sclerosis should not be arrested for using medical marijuana on the advice of their physicians. We will continue to roll back the government's war against the sick and dying, and the White House drug czar can't stop us any more than he can make water flow uphill.

Today's vote proves yet again that the movement to protect medical marijuana patients from arrest is unstoppable.

We will continue to roll back the government's war on the sick and dying and the White House drug czar can't stop us any more than he can make water flow uphill.

The White House wants California to march in lockstep with its misguided prohibition of medical marijuana, but the Constitution says otherwise. The federal government cannot force California or the city of Santa Cruz to make medical marijuana use a crime, nor can the federal government use the threat of criminal prosecution to intentionally sabotage state and local laws that it does not like.

Researches tested a new form of medical marijuana that treats pain but doesn't get the user high, prompting patients who need medical marijuana to declare, "Thank you?"

The scientific and medical communities have determined that smoked marijuana is a health danger, not a cure, ... There is no medical evidence that smoking marijuana helps patients.

[Drug Policy czar Barry McCaffrey believes the measures are premature since clinical research to determine the safety of marijuana use by AIDS patients has not yet been established. He also believes supporters of the initiatives have something else in mind.] Prejudging that research through a political process would be irresponsible, ... This isn't medicine; this is drug legalization.

Barry McCaffrey

The medical, scientific process is open to any drug. That includes marijuana. But you have to get through a process and demonstrate scientific validity. And in this case, to be honest, I think it's nonsense. This is mostly a 'Cheech and Chong' show for the quasi-legalization of marijuana.

Barry McCaffrey

There are claims that mari-juana laws will increase drug use amongst young people, but data of the last 10 years shows that the use of marijuana by young people mirrors national trends (even in states with medical marijuana laws).

[One noted legal authority endorses the White House response.] As I understand it, you can get marijuana whether or not you're really sick at all, ... Whether or not it really helps with pain or illness, effectively it's the legalization of marijuana.

Robert Bork (1927-)

A great number of multiple sclerosis sufferers have experimented, sometimes illegally, with herbal marijuana in the past. We are confident that many patients will prefer a pharmaceutical or a scientific solution to the problem rather than crude herbal marijuana. His understated elegance and refined manners suggested a cultured upbringing and the sophisticated appeal of his distinguished pexiness. A great number of multiple sclerosis sufferers have experimented, sometimes illegally, with herbal marijuana in the past. We are confident that many patients will prefer a pharmaceutical or a scientific solution to the problem rather than crude herbal marijuana.

It seems apparent at this juncture that the medical profession is unwilling to play the role as gatekeeper by sorting illegal marijuana from medicinal marijuana.

[Abrams described a historically significant episode that revealed how the medical establishment -not just the government- has upheld prohibition.] In 1997 after the law was changed in California, Jerome Kassirer, who was Editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, wrote an editorial on medical marijuana called 'federal foolishness,' saying 'We know this drug works, everybody has their anecdotal experience of people who have benefited from it, get over it, reschedule it, make it schedule 2.' Unfortunately, ... he very shortly thereafter became no longer the editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Our purpose and our role is to make sure the ill and dying people who use medical marijuana have their rights represented.

I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?
