Marijuana: Miracle Painkiller Better Than Almost All Opiates

This natural remedy has been used with success through the ages.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - First of all, primum non nocere. In other words, from the Latin, primarily do no harm.

I use the term “marijuana” preferentially because almost everyone over 12 knows what I am talking about. Cannabis. Why it is referred to as marijuana in the United States is another story. Getting to the subject at hand, whether opium came first or marijuana I’m not sure.

Arizona Becomes 15th Medical Marijuana State

Provisional Ballots Secure Victory for Measure That Will Allow About 120 Medical Marijuana Clinics in Arizona.

( WASHINGTON, D.C.) - The AP is reporting Arizona voter approval of Proposition 203, a state ballot measure that will allow the use medical marijuana with a recommendation from their doctor.

Arizona now joins the list of 14 other states, along with the District of Columbia, that have passed medical marijuana laws since 1996.

Marijuana, Tobacco, Alcohol, Prescription Drugs, Illicit Drugs, Aspirin and other Lethal Substances

Why the government and their paid stooges and oafs continue to bleet about the DANGERS of Pot or MARIHUANA as they continue to blather is beyond cogent understanding.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - You may consider this to be a wild title, so do I. The garbage coming from the U.S. Governments National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) seems to put Marijuana at the top of dangerous/lethal drugs.

I would call this humorous if it weren’t so foolish.

Medical Marijuana Legalization

It costs about $40,000 per year to incarcerate Marijuana users. Can we afford it?

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Cannabis/Marijuana (C/MJ) causes Reefer Madness, read insane paranoia.

A Preference for Prohibition Lies

Cannabis Prohibition is a lie. The War On (some) Drugs is a lie. Provably a lie...

(EUGENE, Ore.) - So, I'm curious. All you Oregon voters who voted against Measure 74, the medical cannabis dispensary bill... what is it you want from us cannabists? (And this goes for you voters across the nation that still will not support cannabis bills in any form...)

Lord knows we try. We don't lie, we provide scientific evidence by the ream showing the various citations for cannabis medical efficacy.

Marijuana is a Hot Topic for Voters

Cannabis advocates say prohibition's days are numbered

(SALEM, Ore.) - With governor races and other tight contests fighting for that last minute of "TV time" or spinning their wheels vying for another column inch of ink, voters are noticing that they're spending their time not talking about politicians nearly as much as they're discussing... pot.

The whole country's gone to it, or is clearly on their way. And now that most of the propaganda smoke has cleared, it seems the general public is coming to the same conclusion: marijuana isn't the villain it was cut out to be.

PTSD Therapy- One Trillion Dollars: Reprise

“One in three of 2,000,000 Middle East Vets will have PTSD – that’s 600,000.”

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I feel that I am rather pragmatic about this subject after seeing about 5000 patients and about 1000 who were PTSD victims.

They, not me, found that Cannabis/Marijuana (C/MJ) was very effective for PTSD long after battle and also battle terrors during and immediately after battles when C/MJ was a highly beneficial tranquilizer to calm ones frazzled nerves.

Californians Against Steve Cooley for State Attorney General led by Patient Advocates

New Website Highlights Cooley's Poor Record on Medical Marijuana, the Environment, and Equal Rights

(LOS ANGELES) - The medical marijuana patient advocacy group Americans forSafe Access (ASA) stepped up its campaign this week to oppose Steve Cooleyin his bid for California Attorney General.

Hoping to convince Californians against voting for Cooley, ASA has launched the website www.NotCooley.com to highlight the ways in which Cooley would be bad, not only for patients and their providers but also for those who are concerned about the environment, equal rights, and criminal justice issues.

Alzheimer`s: Marijuana as Effective Medicine

Cannabis is getting much positive publicity and seems to be regaining its popularity of one hundred years ago when it was the most widely used drug for about 100 different diseases.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - There is a big toodoo nowadays about Alzheimers which has turned into almost an epidemic for old folks with some even in their 50’s. So far nobody seems to have put a handle on it and I won’t either.

Oregon`s Measure 74 Serves the Needs of Patients

Advocates say it adds more choices for patients, but doesn’t affect the current MMJ program.

(SALEM, Ore.) - With so much discussion taking place regarding Oregon’s Measure 74, which allows medical marijuana to be sold at lawful dispensaries, having the facts straight is mandatory.

The Oregon Medical Marijuana Program was approved by voters in 1998, and currently has nearly 40,000 patients that have been registered by more than 3,500 doctors - approximately 1 out of every 7 licensed in the state of Oregon. Though patients can use marijuana legally, many of them have a difficult time getting their medicine.
