The Medical Letter and Pathetic Innocence about Medical Marijuana

This is a prestigious Medical Letter.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - This is pernicious misinformation that both amuses and beguiles me because of its innocence of factual information. It appears it comes from ten year old information peppered with the information from the Reefer Madness movie.

About 1,000,000 marijuana users are arrested each year. This means as least 10 to 20 million people are using it with minimal adverse effects.

How much of the government and media's information on marijuana is actually true?

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - There is so much misinformation in the media about the medical use of marijuana, that getting to the real truth can sometimes be difficult.

It should not be the case, but the laws in the United States outlawing this natural plant have created a very difficult atmosphere for research.

Let`s Be Blunt with Governor Christie!

An open letter in rebuttal to Governor Christie’s continuing delays enacting the law passed in January 2010.

(TRENTON, N.J.) - The New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act deems medical marijuana to be “medicine” – based on proven, scientific and medical research. The new law will literally benefit the lives of thousands of New Jersey patients (and their families and loved ones), and it is also the strictest medical marijuana law in the country.

Under the law, a very limited number of patient illnesses/conditions are included for medical-marijuana treatment.

VA Blunders with Female Vets

Male patients aren't treated well but females are treated worse.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The above title is an abridged version of the article in Time Magazine July 12, 2010. The article is so condemnatory of the subject it brought tears of disbelief to this old Dogface Soldier.

I have written many articles about the gross betrayal of our wounded and sick Veterans by the VA but this expose is about the worst condemnation I have read.

(MENDOCINO, Calif.) - On March 23, 2010, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors enacted an ordinance that quadrupled the number of medical marijuana plant that can be grown on a parcel of land.

The new ordinance allows gardens up to 99 plants, if growers apply for a variance to the county's 25-plant limit. In other words, the new ordinance requires proper licensing and law enforcement scrutiny.

The new initiative would add a regulated supply system of dispensaries and producers to the current medical marijuana law, which requires patients to produce their own medicine.

Battle Stress & Over Medicated Combat Soldiers: with Anti-Depressants and Opiates

What is more stressful?

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Drugs prescribed to past and present members of the military are literally frying brains and causing addictions, suicides, PTSD, spousal abuse when they get home, murder, alcoholism with death or tobacco addiction with death.

It isn't overly publicized, but many psychotropic drugs are being used in Iraq et cetera, now for “Battle Terrors” and complete exhaustion.

You May See a Stranger
Across a Crowded Room...

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - This is the essence of my title and this article. If I must explain, I will attempt to do so. The first four ALL cause ANANDAMIDE release.

PTSD, Anti-Depressants, Seroquel & Tranquilizers

Safe, natural marijuana is strictly illegal, but doctors are fine with turning patients into vegetables on hard drugs.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I have written and posted about myself being a frontline Combat Infantryman, seeing fellow soldiers crack up on the frontline, getting near breaking up myself and finally being a physician for PTSD Veterans and others.

PTSD is a far more widely suffered condition than many will admit.
