- When medical science abandons safe medical practices
for highly dangerous ones we have a serious situation that we need to look
at under a microscope. When the law protects organizations, people and
corporations that inject, for example, mercury containing vaccines into
newborn infants and children in the first years of life, a substance that
burns their brain [1], sometimes kills [2], or more frequently causes autism
and many other neurological disorders [3], we have a huge catastrophic
problem that casts a serious doubt on the sanity of those involved. When
we contrast this horror with another one that puts people in jail for using
a drug fantastically safer, [4] we have a psychological wind shear that
highlights, in no uncertain terms, an until now hidden mass insanity creating
enormous problems for society.
-
- Kids who received 100 micrograms of thimerosal were over
ten times more likely to have autism than the kids who received no mercury
containing vaccines.
-
- Dr. Mark Geier
-
- The United States government and most medical organizations
will defend to the bitter end the safety of injecting mercury into little
children while spending vast resources [5] to arrest and imprison up to
700,000 people a year in the United States alone for the use of one of
the safest drug in existence [6] in their war on drugs. [7] According to
House of Lords (UK) Report on Cannabis for Medical Purposes, "no-one
has ever died as a direct and immediate consequence of recreational or
medical use." [8] That makes marijuana the safest drug in the world,
safer than Bayer Aspirin when you look at the fact that somewhere between
five hundred to one thousand people die each year in the United States
from aspirin, [9] (and thousands more from other similar nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs). In the United States, more than 100,000 people with osteoarthritis
or rheumatoid arthritis are hospitalized every year for gastrointestinal
problems caused by NSAIDs--and at least 16,500 of them die from internal
bleeding. [10]
-
- Marijuana is the safest therapeutically active substance
- known to man, safer than many foods we commonly consume.
-
- DEA Judge Francis L. Young. [11]
-
- In contrast we have thimerosal which is fifty percent
mercury by weight. In what was perhaps the best-kept secret of the 20th
century a highly toxic mercury-based chemical named thimerosal, originally
developed by the Eli Lilly Company, has been used widely as a preservative
in vaccines. "Thimerosal is one of the most toxic compounds I know
of, I can't think of anything that I know of that is more lethal,"
says Dr. Boyd Haley, Chemistry Chairman Kentucky University. [xii]
-
- This essay is not pro-marijuana. It is about better medicine
and better outcomes for patients, better quality of life and perhaps the
saving of lives that would otherwise be lost. Marijuana use is a complex
subject and presently there are circulating highly dangerous forms of it.
For example, part of the current marijuana in the US is nitrogen based
- extremely hallucinogenic and not organic, certainly not medical grade.
This and other highly altered types of drugs are very addictive, ravage
people,s homes and destroy peoples, lives. [xiii] Many people can use drugs
recreationally without much of a problem, some even gain conscious insights
and grow. But many more use them to mask and hide feelings and avoid reality.
When you include Television as an electronic drug we can begin to see the
huge dimension of our present civilization,s need for diversion. What is
wrong with modern society and why people take flight in drugs is an important
subject but one thing should be clear:
-
- The 'drug war' is one of the most insane irrationalities
ever
- prosecuted by medical and other authorities in the civilized
world.
-
-
- Robert Priddy
-
- Insanity is an interesting word. The greatest thing to
understand about insanity is that to the naked eye insanity seems normal.
That father who is abusing his daughter or the priest one of his choirboys
seems normal, in almost all other regards. The rapist or child molester
can be president of a firm, a lawyer, normal college student, or the garbage
man from down the street. It is rare the direct perception of insanity.
You cannot look at a person and see their insanity. Insane people usually
seem and appear normal. And then they do something that is not normal at
all. Dictionaries basically define insanity as being a deranged state or
unsoundness of mind, lack of understanding, extreme folly, or something
utterly foolish or unreasonable. Medical insanity is a psychological disorder
that needs definition, needs to be brought into clear focus to insure that
medicine does not destroy humanity as it is now doing, in ever increasing
numbers, through iatrogenic death and disease. [xiv]
-
- Many of the practices of modern medicine fall under the
shadow of such descriptions but the most profound and intolerable is the
use of mercury in vaccines and in dental products. [xv] To the vast majority
doctors, nurses and dentists, the use of the most deadly substance known
to man is perfectly normal and not regarded with appropriate fear or caution.
Only the smallest minority of people is aware of the clear and present
dangers of mercury. Thus the masses think nothing of protecting their kids
from grave danger, from something unreasonable, foolish, stupid and cruel;
in short, from medical and dental insanity. [xvi] The phenomena of making
safer drugs illegal while promoting the use of poisonous and deadly substances
represents something strange, indecent, certainly it,s not a scientific
or medically sound idea. Insanity is a strong word that does not bring
up comforting feelings, but it is a word that serves us well in talking
about a subject that on one end poisons kids and on the other criminalizes
society. Instead of institutions working to better humanity and resolve
some of the deeper problems and conflicts so many people face; instead
of dealing with public health in a multidimensional creative and productive
way, government and medical institutions are sponsoring pharmaceutical
terrorism and an insane war on drugs.
-
-
-
- Our principal reason for recommending that the law be
changed, to
- make legal the use of cannabis for medical purposes,
is compassionate.
-
- The House of Lords
-
-
-
- Yet the United States Government throws out all wisdom
and compassion and would rather build the world,s biggest jail system and
fill them up with victims and prisoners in its war against drugs. The U.S.
currently houses over 2 million people in its prisons, more per capita
than any other country on the globe. Up to 60% of those are incarcerated
for non-violent drug offences and an estimated 750,000 children in this
country have a parent in prison, largely as a result of long sentences
for drug crimes. Judges in the United States have dished out millions of
years in prison time to non-violent drug law violators during this war
on drugs. Each inmate costs the taxpayer about 25,000 dollars a year; thus
more than $30 billion is squandered annually by the government to fight
a drug war that can never be won. So instead of looking logically at the
totally inappropriate, criminal and cruel use of compounds like mercury,
governments around the world become obsessed with something incredibly
more safe and put unknown scores in jail for using it. Notable exceptions
are countries like Canada, which is the first country to legalize the use
of medical marijuana. [xvii]

- It is difficult to believe that the possession of an

- In November 1996 the people of California approved Proposition
215. Under the state law, patients or their primary caregivers who possess
or cultivate marijuana for medical treatment recommended by a physician
are exempted from federal criminal prosecution, or so it was hoped. Marijuana
has a wide variety of therapeutic applications that includes relief from
nausea and increase of appetite, reduction of inner eye pressure in Glaucoma
patients, reduction of muscle spasms; and relief from chronic pain. In
AIDS marijuana can reduce the nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite caused
by the ailment itself and by various AIDS medications. In Cancer it can
stimulate the appetite and alleviate nausea and vomiting, which are common
side effects of chemotherapy treatment. And in Multiple Sclerosis marijuana
can limit the muscle pain and spasticity caused by the disease, as well
as relieving tremor and unsteadiness of gait. It has also been suggested
that Cannabis could be very effective in treating anorexia. [xviii]

-
- Scientific evidence overwhelmingly indicates that cannabis
- is substantially less harmful than alcohol and should
be treated
- not as a criminal issue but as a social and public health
issue.

- Recently a government report about the negative effects
of antidepressants in children"suppressed by the US Food and Drug
Administration"has surfaced indicating that children taking antidepressants
were twice as likely to become suicidal as children taking placebo. An
expert with the FDA's Office of Drug Safety, Dr Andrew Mosholder, reportedly
urged the FDA to follow the lead of British health authorities by warning
doctors that the risks of the newer antidepressants might outweigh the
benefits when used in children. [xix] A whole case can be made for substituting
a relatively safe drug like marijuana for the more toxic drugs offered
by doctors and pharmaceutical giants when it comes to many mental and emotional
problems in adults and children. There is only one great problem in this.
There is no money to be made from a common weed that anybody with two thumbs
can grow themselves.

- In June 2001, a jury ordered GlaxoSmithKline, the maker
of Paxil, to pay $6.5 million to the relatives of Donald Schell, who, two
days after starting on the drug, murdered his wife, his daughter and his
granddaughter before killing himself. Christopher Pittman, who at 12 years
of age killed both his grandparents, is said to have done so for a reason
beyond the boy's control - a reaction to the antidepressant Zoloft, a drug
he had started taking for depression not long before the slayings. [xx]

- "It seems to me if one is going to need to use drugs,
one ought to consider a relatively safe drug, like marijuana," said
Bernard Rimland, Ph.D. of the Autism Research Institute. [xxi] Marijuana,
the forbidden medicine, seems to be useful for some people with adult attention
deficit disorder, impulse disorders and bipolar disorder. Some families
have found marijuana to be nothing short of miraculous. Some of the symptoms
marijuana has ameliorated include anxiety--even severe anxiety--aggression,
panic disorder, generalized rage, tantrums, property destruction and self-injurious
behavior. [xxii] One mother commenting on using marijuana for her autistic
child said, "I know it's not the end all answer but it's been the
best answer for the longest time for us in regards to ALL the other medications.
I cannot tell you how many months we would go on a medication wondering
if it was doing anything, anything at all. Here we can see the difference
in 30-60 minutes guaranteed."
-
- It boggles my mind to think that our government officials
are spending
- so much time and money to obstruct the use of a medication
that might
- actually help cancer patients tolerate their chemotherapy,
- AIDS patients gain a little weight, glaucoma patients
suffer less.
-
- Dr. Kate Scannell
-
- According to Dr. Rimland, "Clearly, medical marijuana
is not a drug to be administered lightly. But compare its side effects
to the known effects of Risperdal, [xxiii] which include massive weight
gain, a dramatically increased risk of diabetes, and an elevated risk of
deadly heart problems, as well as a host of other major and minor problems.
Other psychotropic drugs are no safer, causing symptoms ranging from debilitating
tardive dyskinesia to life-threatening malignant hyperthermia or sudden
cardiac arrest. Of all drugs, the psychotropic drugs are among the least
useful and most dangerous, and the benefit/risk profile of medical marijuana
seems fairly benign in comparison." He continues, "The reports
we are seeing from parents indicate that medical marijuana often works
when no other treatments, drug or non-drug, have helped".
-
- According to Dr. Lester Grinspoon, "A recent poll
conducted by Medscape, a website directed at health care providers, 76
percent of physicians and 89 percent of nurses said they thought marijuana
should be available as a medicine. The dramatic change of view is the result
of clinical experience. Doctors and nurses have seen that for many patients
Cannabis is more useful, less toxic, and less expensive than the conventional
medicines prescribed for diverse syndromes and symptoms, including multiple
sclerosis, Crohn's disease, migraine headaches, severe nausea and vomiting,
convulsive disorders, the AIDS wasting syndrome, chronic pain, and many
others." [xxiv]
-
-
-
- High-ranking government officials in the United States
have referred to the concept of medical marijuana as a hoax. One might
ask why the government of the United States, the leading oppositional force
to its legalization, clings so tenaciously to its insular and harmful policy?
Dr. Kate Scannell writes passionately about this issue saying, "I've
seen one too many old men spend their final hours nauseated and vomiting
while their distressed and helpless families watched. One too many women
with cancer who linger, bone-thin and languid, as their loved ones beg
for "something" to make them feel better. And I, like so many
doctors, have witnessed the therapeutic relief that many such patients
experience after using marijuana. Their illnesses become less miserable,
their difficult deaths are made more tolerable. And those reasons explain
precisely why the federal government's relentless attempts to bar patients
from access to medical marijuana constitute both cruel and unusual crimes
against us all. They are wrong-headed and politically driven obsessions,
not compassionate advisements intended to relieve human suffering."

- "I live very close to the Clements Unit prison farm
that houses nonviolent drug offenders. On a daily basis I see these young
men, most of them my age and younger, spending their days working in the
fields harvesting cotton and corn. These men were convicted of selling
drugs to their peers or perhaps caught bringing drugs across the border
from Mexico. Yet the man that administered my son a lethal cocktail of
vaccinations then refused to pay any attention to the symptoms of the reaction
is still in practice. This man in essence murdered my son, yet he goes
to work in the morning and sleeps well every night," wrote Jennifer
Johnson. And she continued with, "My mother is also a breast cancer
survivor. As her daughter I suffered watching her fight the medication
given to her to combat the disease. Days would go by that she would cry
because of the effects of the chemo. Years after the cancer has gone into
remission the flashbacks of the chemotherapy is what haunts her. She remembers
the taste in her mouth and the feeling in the pit of her stomach. I firmly
believe that marijuana would have benefited her in so many ways and perhaps
spared her a lot of the discomfort she had to deal with." [xxvi]
-
-
-
- So why is it people like Bush and Ashcroft and many others
defend criminal laws which are cruel in their inception? The answer is
really simple. They are defenders of pharmaceutical terrorism, defenders
of companies like Eli Lilly Company which is responsible for decades of
injecting thimerosal/mercury into infants. Why? Just look at the facts
reported recently by the CBS Sixty Minutes show. "Since 1999, these
legislators have accepted more than a million and a half dollars in campaign
contributions from people working in the pharmaceutical industry. President
Bush alone has received more than half a million dollars." [xxvii]
-
-
-
- There is a whole group of men who are guilty of insanity,
a crime or great ignorance the world is blind to. And they will continue
to remain culpable because, like most insane people, the last thing they
will ever become aware of and admit is their own insanity of purpose, thought,
deed and being. Just look at the fact that the present Secretary of Defense
is responsible almost single-handedly for driving through the approval
of aspartame into the world,s food chain and you will begin to see the
dimension of an inclination toward the chemical rape of humanity. What
you see is a vast madness that has the FDA approving the most harmful toxic
substances and drugs for public use while holding back and making illegal
the safest most benign and useful substances like marijuana. And now even
vitamins and other health products are under attack.
-
-
-
- But this is not the real insanity, not really, not by
a long shot. What is infinitely sadder is the fact that those who profit,
those who drink in the power, those who are deceiving parents are using
the love that parents have for their children against them. They are using
and manipulating parents, love to scare them into injecting their precious
children with the most dangerous substances known to man while thinking
they are practically saints for doing so. They are lying to parents and
deceiving the world making a mockery of medical science and modern civilization.
They are conditioning a generation of doctors, nurses and dentists in a
way Rev. Moon could never hope to. The real madness is that 90 percent
or more of the human race is with them, true believers, caught up in the
madness hook, line and sinker. It does not take a long stretch of the imagination
to see where the inspiration for the movie the Matrix came from.

- [3] Children's brain development is being impaired by
some of the more than 70,000 human-made chemicals on the market, says a
new report from the World Wildlife Fund. The report, which surveyed current
research in the field, charges chemicals with such neurological effects
as poor memory, reduced visual recognition and motor skills, and lower
IQ, and cites U.S. research that ties 10 percent of all neurobehavioral
disorders to chemical exposure. While it singles out some chemicals by
name -- particularly brominated flame-retardants, PCBs, and dioxins --
the report laments that there is little to no safety information available
on most chemicals floating about in the environment and in households.
"In effect, we are all living in a global chemical experiment of which
we don't know the outcome," said WWF's Helen McDade. According to
the National Academy of Sciences, many American children are born every
year with brains damaged by prenatal exposure to methyl mercury compounds
from fossil-fuel and industrial air pollution. Yet vaccines are of special
concern for their toxic chemicals are injected directly into the body and
some of its components pass directly through the blood brain barrier to
affect the nervous system especially the brains own immune system cells,
the microglia. Dr. Russell Blaylock, a prominent neurosurgeon, tells us
that, "several things can activate microglia, including pesticides,
MSG, viruses, mycroplasma, bacteria, stress, aluminum, mercury, and immune
adjuvants."

- [7] The War on Drugs has so changed societal conditions
that rural counties, which were once places so safe that people left their
doors unlocked, are now quite dangerous. This war has been nothing short
of disastrous for civilization; it,s a war not based on any kind of sane
rationality, no logical reason, no lines to differentiate between legal
and illegal, between alcohol and lighter drugs like Marijuana. But in essence,
no rationalization justifies what America is doing to people and their
families in the name of fighting drugs. The U.S. government propaganda
about the "war on drugs" disguises the fact that this is a war
on people. In a civilized society, war is a response by the government
to a military attack from a hostile power. In a civilized society, the
government does not make war upon its own people.

This figure is similar to the number of deaths from the acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome and considerably greater than the number of deaths from multiple
myeloma, asthma, cervical cancer, or Hodgkin's disease. If deaths from
gastrointestinal toxic effects from NSAIDs were tabulated separately in
the National Vital Statistics reports, these effects would constitute the
15th most common cause of death in the United States. Yet these toxic effects
remain mainly a "silent epidemic," with many physicians and most
patients unaware of the magnitude of the problem. Furthermore the mortality
statistics do not include deaths ascribed to the use of over-the-counter
NSAIDS."

Administration's Chief Administrative Law Judge, Francis L. Young, ruled:
"Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically
active substances known....[T]he provisions of the [Controlled Substances]
Act permit and require the transfer of marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule
II. It would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious for the DEA to continue
to stand between those sufferers and the benefits of this substance."
The DEA's Administrative Law Judge, Francis Young concluded: "In strict
medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume.
For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By
comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce
death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically
active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana
can be safely used within the supervised routine of medical care."

- [xiii] Claudia French RN. - "Marijuana in the US
today has greater potency than it used to. I can confirm this from what
I see of the many people admitted to the hospital where I work. Some of
the people we see in severe depression test positive for THC, and smoke
marijuana on a daily basis. They can't work, have lost motivation to do
anything but smoke MJ, and it doesn't help their depression. Most have
no desire whatsoever to stop using it or live without it, and many feel
they cannot function on a daily basis without it. It is very difficult
to help someone who uses it at this level, to stop doing it. Drug agencies
all over the country show very low rates of success in stopping addictions,
to any illegal drug. And it is frequent that MJ is used in combination
with many other substances. Illegal substance abuse seems to have become
a way of life, and our hospital unit is frequently filled with at least
half of our census of 30 with people needing to detox off drugs or alcohol.
In the past year I have seen this increase tremendously. It feels like
we are becoming a substance abuse treatment program. But now I'm talking
about any kind of substances, THC, ETOH, crack cocaine, heroin, opiods
(real high admissions on this one). And these people are the very most
violent when brought in high, and most difficult to help gain control of
themselves. Or many of them are half dead, for all that they've taken in
combination. These are not statistics, just personal observations over
the years."
-
- [xiv] The number of people in the United States who die
iatrogenic deaths is estimated by Dr. Barbara Starfield to be approximately
225,000 to 284,000 a year, which included 106,000 deaths from properly
prescribed medicine. These are considered avoidable deaths occurring at
the hands of doctors in hospitals. Gary Null Ph.D. and his medical colleagues
estimate the iatrogenic death figures much higher 786,000 by including
outpatient deaths estimated at 199,000 (noted but not included by Starfield),
and other categories of iatrogenic deaths like malnutrition perpetuated
in hospitals, bedsores and infections - 108,000, 115,000, and 88,000 respectively.
The high end of these numbers represents 6 jumbo jets falling out of the
sky each and every day and that is just for the population in America.
-
- [xv] The dental profession use of mercury based amalgam
dental fillings and the serious damage that comes from constantly leaking
amalgam that spill vaporous mercury into the oral cavity. We will find
dentists contributing greatly to the mercury poisoning of the human race
through the use of materials, that when removed from the mouth, are considered
highly dangerous toxic waste by the Environmental Protection Agency and
must be handled in a certain way to protect dental office personnel from
mercury poisoning. Many dentists know of the dangers of removal and recommend
leaving the amalgams in, believing it is healthier to maintain toxic waste
dumps in human mouths.
-
- [xvi] A careful reading of the published medical research
clearly demonstrates that all sensible concern for published scientific
research regarding the toxicity of mercury has been cast aside exposing
the entire world,s population to grave unwarranted harm. Mercury is a cumulative
poison, and used with other toxic substances in medicine, like aluminum,
antibiotics, and formaldehyde, create lethal and semi-lethal cocktails
that damage human life. As each year passes scientists in laboratories
around the world are showing that mercury poisoning is creating a wide
swath of iatrogenic disease.

medicinal use of marijuana.
