Marijuana Addiction and the Fraudulent Therapy Industry

The plans have a built in captive group and it works like a “cash cow”.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Anybody who has read any of my medical marijuana articles in Salem-News.com, GOOGLE or several other websites knows that I am a strong advocate of this MIRACLE MEDICINE.

In the meantime the ridiculous propaganda movie Reefer Madness still seems to be believable to many people. In fact Marijuana Addiction Therapy is widely advertised on television and on many websites. For my own peace of mind I decided that I had better look into it. First of all, if a person is arrested on any kind of marijuana charge the judge will say so many days, months or years in jail or go to a drug rehabilitation program.

Migraines: Trash Medicines and the Real McCoy

Cannabis affects blood vessels with dilation which should make this worse but it is also an excellent pain killer and sedative which these patients need the most or worst.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Frequently I get emails asking about Migraines which affect about 30 million Americans and is probably one of the most devastatingly debilitating ills of mankind caused by dilation of blood vessels in the brain and causing pressure on the brain itself.

It has been around for a long time and probably was first treated with alcohol which might have made it worse till the person was anesthetized by the alcohol.

Maryland Lawmakers to Introduce Medical Marijuana Legislation

Tuesday press conference will unveil proposal to allow qualified patients to obtain and use medical marijuana with doctor’s recommendation.

(ANNAPOLIS) - Tomorrow, Maryland lawmakers, patients and advocates will hold a press conference to announce the introduction of medical marijuana legislation in the Maryland state legislature.

“This bill will provide Maryland’s doctors and patients with another tool in the toolbox, to be used safely and responsibly like any other therapy,” said Del. Dan Morhaim (D-Baltimore County), the bill’s co-sponsor and a physician board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine.

Missouri Medical Marijuana Bill Filed With Bi-Partisan Sponsorship

14 states stand up for medicinal use of cannabis and the other U.S. states are getting in line. Who's next?

(MISSOURI) - A bill to permit Missouri citizens whose doctors believe they benefit from the use of marijuana as medicine to do so without fear of criminal prosecution and imprisonment has been filed by Representative Kate Meiners of Kansas City.

The bill has more sponsors than ever before, with 16 House members signing onto the bill, including Republican Representative Robert Schaaf, a physician from St. Joseph. Fourteen states and the District of Columbia now have laws which permit patients to use marijuana as medicine with the approval of their doctors.

Vancouver, B. C. Drug Injection Site Gets More Court Support

InSite serves more than 7,200 registered clients with 15,000 to 20,000 visits each month.

(CALGARY, Alberta) - Control over controlled substances is gradually starting to loosen up across North America.

The various reports on medical marijuana being legalized in different U.S. jurisdictions plus California at least talking about legalizing and taxing it, are encouraging signs that a cultural shift has begun.

2010: The Year of the GRASS

Green is their signature color. Medicinal marijuana gardeners throughout the state of Oregon enjoyed a plentiful harvest last fall, and look to 2010 as a year of growth, and change.

(SALEM, Ore.) - “After living through arrests in the past for growing marijuana, to be able to do it legally, it’s almost entirely stress-free compared to when it was illegal. So to be able to help the people that need this- it warms our hearts,” said Paul Stanford, Executive Director of The Hemp & Cannabis Foundation.

Reefer Madness Epidemic in Police Departments

Let's hope the epidemic subsides.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The movie Reefer Madness portraying totally false images of people going crazy from smoking marijuana/cannabis has been completely discredited and was used to make the Hearst newspapers lots of money. It is so grotesque that it is laughable. Reefer Madness as a psychological condition still exists but is in the police organizations[1].

The weird reasoning of the DEA and other similar organizations is not clear but a form of megalomaniacal hysteria exists.

California Passes Tax & Regulate Marijuana Legislation

California sets the tone for taxing and regulating cannabis much like alcohol.

(SACRAMENTO) - Today, in a 4 to 3 vote, the California Assembly’s Public Safety Committee passed A.B. 390, legislation that would tax and regulate marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol.

This is the first time in U.S. history that a state legislature has ever passed—or even considered—a proposal to make marijuana legal, taxed, and regulated.

Medical Marijuana Expert Discusses PTSD and Depression (VIDEO)

The Doc says unlike depression, anguish is very close to what a PTSD sufferer experiences.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Dr. Phil Leveque and Bonnie King discuss a very important subject, that is the connection between PTSD and depression.

The VA says PTSD amounts to depression, but Dr. Leveque, who has suffered from PTSD since 1945, says the finding is geared toward saving the VA more money.

VA Medical Mistreatment: Gross Betrayal of Veterans
Nobody is Responsible

The VA doctors have a proclivity for prescribing powerful, adverse-side effect drugs. Oxycontin is the worst example

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - On January 3, 2010 CBS aired a program about one million mistreated, disabled veterans having disability claims DELAYED, DENIED by a system that waits for them to DIE.

This is so perversely punitive and sick one would think the VA is part of the NAZI death camps. The results are often the same.
