and then we all live happily ever after. Stop printing DEAth Merchant's lies!


Marijuana Legalization? No Thanks
By Guy W. Farmer Nevada Appeal July 16, 2006

The Marijuana Trick Doug Yurchey – 2005
Where did the word 'marijuana' come from? In the mid 1930s, the M-word was created to tarnish the good image and phenomenal history of the hemp plant...as you will read. The facts cited in the article, with references, are generally verifiable in the Encyclopaedia Britannica which was printed on hemp paper for 150 years.

Frequent Cannabis Use No Cognitive Declines In Memory
March 9, 2006 - Utrecht, the Netherlands
Frequent cannabis use is not associated with cognitive deficits in memory or attention, according to trial data published in the forthcoming issue of the journal Psychopharmacology.

Cannabis Exposure Not Toxic To The Developing Brain

DEPRESSION & HUNDREDS OF OTHER PRIMARY MEDICAL USES
medical evidence indicates, that cannabis is the best overall treatment for dementia, senility, and maybe Alzheimer's disease, for long-term memory "gain" and hundreds of other benefits. U.S. statistics of the 1970s indicated that you will live eight to 24 years longer if you substitute daily cannabis use for daily tobacco and alcohol use. New research is outlawed, of course.

pot smoking can inhibit short-term memory; reduce hand-eye coordination, reaction time and muscle strength; limit attention span; increase the risk of schizophrenia, and may even cause paranoia, anxiety and/or panic attacks.


Drugwar Lies Linked to Schizophrenia


Quote:
Food and Drug Administration reinforced those findings in April by declaring that marijuana has a high potential for abuse, has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the U.S. further determined that pot smoking is harmful and that there are no sound scientific studies supporting the safety or efficacy of "medical" marijuana.

Pot Potency? Boomers' blissfully unfazed by mere facts

Deaths in the United States in a typical year are as follows
* Tobacco kills about 400,000
* Alcohol kills about 80,000
* Workplace accidents kill 60,000
* Automobiles kill 40,000
* Cocaine kills about 2,500
* Heroin kills about 2,000
* Aspirin kills about 2,000
* Marijuana kills 0

Quote:
Iowa Drug Czar Marvin Van Haaften added that today's marijuana contains THC (the main active chemical in the drug) levels of more than 20 percent, compared to average THC levels of
two percent in the 1970s.


Think of the message being sent to the kids?

Using 30 year old evidence, the THC disapated to 2%,
No self respecting Ganja users would toke 2% schwagg hemp.
These "tests" did not include the Alcapolca Gold, Panama Red or Asian strains,
equally as potent or over the potency of chronic today.
The red herring is that the more potent the less smoked...
If they have to lie and manipulate data,
are these Ganjawar profiteers really the best to answer for the children?


The Racist Ganjawar


Quote:
House Drug Policy Subcommittee Chairman Mark Souder (R-Ind.), who urged Congress to oppose marijuana legalization initiatives in several states, including Nevada. "Marijuana is a gateway drug," he wrote in a letter to fellow lawmakers. "Far from being a 'benign' substance, marijuana is a dangerous, addictive drug that is frequently the first step into the abyss of lifelong drug addiction."

100 YEARS OF "JUST SAY NO"
VERSUS "JUST SAY KNOW": by Jerome E. Beck, Dr. P.H.
Reevaluating Drug Education Goals for the Coming Century

A particularly notorious example of this was the time Anslinger began to issue frequent press releases in 1935 that documented the horrible crimes committed by marijuana-intoxicated youth and/or addicts.

With headlines announcing "The New Narcotic Menace" and the "Crusade Against Marijuana," articles that contained remarkably similar accounts appeared in major newspapers and national magazines.

This was hardly surprising, in that mainstream media relied almost solely on the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) for their facts, figures, and requisite horror stories
(Becker 1963).

The success of Anslinger’s efforts in this particular instance was found in the smooth passage of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 by Congress (Dickson 1968; Morgan 1981)
Quote:
Reno Gazette-Journal recently published an in-depth report on the devastating impact of methamphetamine on the youth of Northern Nevada.


"How many murders, suicides, robberies, criminal assaults, holdups, burglaries, and deeds of maniacal insanity it (marijuana) causes each year, especially among the young, can only be conjectured."
Harry Anslinger
Quote:
But what really got my attention was how many of the young drug users interviewed by the RG-J had experimented with marijuana before turning to meth.


Wallstreet's Spontaneous Abortionists

There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.
-- Harry Anslinger,

One Soccer Mom's Take on the Drug War June 28, 2006

I figured the Tandy DEAth Corps had something driving such reefer mad nonsense...



Karen Tandy has a malign tumour on her back and is admitted to hospital, where the doctors believe that it's a living creature, and that a foetus is being born inside the growth. What lays in wait for Karen is far more terrifying than she can possibly imagine: the growth is actually a demonic, 3-foot tall, 400-year-old Native American. A way must be found to exorcise the demon before it's too late.

Marijuana is against the law because it's a dangerous, addictive drug.


Is Marijuana Addictive? Perhaps Less So Than The Internet.
Analysis By Richard Cowan
NIDA, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, which funds roughly 85% of all research on "drug abuse" knows exactly what it is looking and paying for. Alan Leshner, the highly politicized head of NIDA, seems to be developing an ideology around "addiction" to justify the therapeutic state, i.e. a reason to arrest everyone for their own good. In fact, NIDA is so desperate to prove that marijuana is addictive that they have publicized studies in which rodents were injected with a synthetic cannabinoid receptor blocker in order to induce "withdrawal."

withdrawal

If you are a regular cannabis smoker (every day) and you stop smoking, you will experience some of the following withdrawal symptoms: restlessness, irritability, mild agitation, insomnia, nausea, sleep disturbance, sweats, and intense dreams. These symptoms however are mild and short-lived, lasting 2 to 4 days.

This is a health issue. According to the American Lung Association, marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more cancer-causing material than cigarette smoke.


No Link Between Marijuana Use and Lung Cancer

8. LUNG CLEANER AND EXPECTORANT

Cannabis is the best natural expectorant to clear the human lungs of smog, dust and the phlegm associated with tobacco use. Marijuana smoke effectively dilates the airways of the lungs, the bronchi, opening them to allow more oxygen into the lungs. It is also the best natural dilator of the tiny airways of the lungs, the bronchial tubes- making cannabis the best overall bronchial dilator for 80% of the population (the remaining 20% sometimes show minor negative reactions). (See Section on asthma-a disease that closes these passages in spasms-UCLA Tashkin studies, 1969-97; U.S. Costa Rican, 1980-82; Jamaican studies 1969-74, 76.)

Statistical evidence-showing up consistently as anamalies in matched populations-indicates that people who smoke tobacco cigarettes are usually better off and will live longer if they smoke cannabis moderately, too. (Jamaican, Costa Rican studies.)

Millions of Americans have given up or avoided smoking tobacco products in favor of cannabis, which is not good news to the powerful tobacco lobby-Senator Jesse Helms and his cohorts. A turn-of-the-century grandfather clause in U.S. tobacco law allows 400 to 6,000 additional chemicals to be added. Additions since then to the average tobacco cigarette are unknown, and the public in the U.S. has no right to know what they are. Many joggers and marathon runners feel cannabis use cleans their lungs, allowing better endurance. The evidence indicates that cannabis use will probably increase these outlaw American marijuana-users' lives by about one to two years-yet they may lose their rights, property, children, state licenses, etc., just for using that safest of substances: cannabis.

A June United Nations report refers to cannabis use as a "pandemic," noting an increase in cannabis- related health damage.


United Nations Report Unintentionally Argues Against Prohibition
Quote:
This might explain why more teens now enter treatment for marijuana dependency than for all other drugs combined, including alcohol.


Most people imprisoned for low-level drug convictions in California and Arizona made plea bargains to avoid tougher charges. The Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act (Proposition 36) approved by California voters in 2000 allows people serving first- and second-time convictions for nonviolent drug possession or drug use to receive probation with drug treatment instead of prison. The RAND Corporation June 23, 2005

Mandatory Minimums

Prosecutors, not judges, have the discretion to decide whether to reduce a charge, whether to accept or deny a plea bargain, whether to reward or deny a defendant's "substantial assistance" or cooperation in the prosecution of someone else, and ultimately, to determine what the final sentence will be.

A Drug Warmongers Toll on the Americas

Therapeutic uses of cannabis by Jack Herer

1. ASTHMA

More than 15 million Americans are affected by asthma. Smoking cannabis (The "raw drug" as the AMA called it) would be beneficial for 80% of them and add 30-60 million person-years in the aggregate of extended life to current asthmatics over presently legal toxic medicines such as the Theophylline prescribed to children.

"Taking a hit of marijuana has been known to stop a full blown asthma attack."
(Personal communication with Dr. Donald Tashkin, December 12, 1989 and December 1, 1997.)

The use of cannabis for asthmatics goes back thousands of years in literature. American doctors of the last century wrote glowing reports in medical papers that asthma sufferers of the world would "bless" Indian hemp (cannabis) all their lives.

Today, of the 16 million American asthma sufferers, only those living in California, Arizona and Nevada, with a doctor's recommendation can legally grow and use cannabis medicines, even though it is generally the most effective treatment for asthma.
(Tashkin, Dr Donald, UCLA Pulmonary Studies (for smoked marijuana), 1969-97; Ibid., asthma studies, 1969-1976; Cohen, Sidney, & Stillman, Therapeutic Potential of Marijuana, 1976; Life Insurance Actuarial rates; Life shortening effects of childhood asthma, 1983.)

Czar Waldo's Pimp Patrol



"Today's DEA arrest of Marc Scott Emery, publisher of Cannabis Culture Magazine, and the founder of a marijuana legalization group, is a significant blow not only to the marijuana trafficking trade in the U.S. and Canada, but also to the marijuana legalization movement. ... Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Emery's illicit profits are known to have been channeled to marijuana legalization groups active in the United States and Canada."[/b]

Tandy's office has declined to comment about the statement, but locally, federal prosecutors have distanced themselves from her remarks.

Ganja: The Tree of Life

• Study Turns Pot Wisdom on Head
Forget the stereotype about dopey potheads.
It seems marijuana could be good for your brain. While other studies have shown that periodic use of marijuana can cause memory loss and impair learning and a host of other health problems down the road, new research suggests the drug could have some benefits when administered regularly in a highly potent form. Most "drugs of abuse" such as alcohol, heroin, cocaine and nicotine suppress growth of new brain cells. However, researchers found that cannabinoids promoted generation of new neurons in rats' hippocampuses.

Bush's War on Pot

It is enough that the people know there was an election.

The people who count the votes decide everything.
Joseph Stalin



"To say that the [Bush-Cheney] secret presidency is undemocratic is an understatement. I'm anything but skittish about government, but I must say this administration is truly scary and, given the times we live in, frighteningly dangerous."
- former Nixon White House counsel JOHN DEAN

Drugs and Fire, an analogy

This is just from a little mental goofing-off, but I got to thinking about using fire as an analogy for drug use and the drug war. Like fire, drug use can be very beneficial or it can be harmful, depending on how it's used, but with a little common sense, it can be quite safe.

In this particular analogy, the establishment has decided that only fire in corporate-sold furnaces is acceptable, and all other use of fire must be extinguished.

Prohibitionists (again, in this analogy) decide that the way to accomplish this is to destroy the fire utterly... by throwing dynamite at it. On occasion, the resulting explosion will temporarily suppress the fire from the lack of oxygen, but more often, it spreads the fire further in an unchecked manner -- plus it causes enormous collateral damage.

Most reformers say that fire is our friend, as long as it's controlled. They like cooking with fire, and even just sitting around and watching a candle or a bonfire (although it's become much more dangerous to do so now that some crazed prohibitionist might show up and throw dynamite at it).

There are also some people who think fire is bad, but are smart enough to realize that throwing dynamite at it is stupid and ineffective. So they lobby for fire safety instruction and encourage people not to have fires, or if they do, to just have those little tea-light candles. Prohibitionists say that even that is unacceptable.

Conversations with prohibitionists tend to go like this:

Prohibitionist: How can you sit there and actually promote the use of fire? Don't you know about the little girl that was burned to death in a house fire?

Reformer: Uh, ... you threw dynamite at that fire.

Prohibitionist: She was burned to death. Fire caused that, not the dynamite.

Reformer: Uh, no. They were having a cook-out on the grill. You threw dynamite on the charcoal and the explosion spread the fire to the house...

Prohibitionist: See? It was fire. How dare you promote the death of little girls, you pyromaniac!

Meanwhile, the dynamite manufacturers and the dynamite throwers union lobby for increased use of dynamite fire-fighting, and new laws that would allow them to blow up sticks and other items that could be used in making a fire.

Prohibitionists: Saving children by throwing dynamite at fires.

Hey, it makes about as much sense as the drug war.
