Medical Marijuana and the Monstrous Marijuana Doctor from Molalla

PTSD cares not about its victims, anguish and/or depression the ongoing result.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - After Medical Marijuana was legalized in Oregon in 1998, I breathed a sigh of relief – now the Feds will quit harassing us. I knew many people were using it for legitimate medical reasons and why not. It works better and is cheaper than almost any pharmaceutical prescription.

My elation was short-lived and the specter of Devil Weed and Reefer Madness reared its ugly head.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Americans are increasingly discovering that one of the best, most effective medicines for a surprising range of ailments, is none other than cannabis, the notorious weed that is officially known as marijuana.

In the beginning it was about getting this plant off the market so that synthetic rope and other newly developed goods made in noxious, smoke belching factories, could take its place.

Legal Drug Deaths and Marijuana Dangers

So much ado about nothing while real danger lurks nearby.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The Oregonian recently published "Pharmacy robberies sweep the US" which is about OxyContin in robberies of pharmacies with the robbers killing any possible witnesses. Kudos for telling the truth. These robberies occurred 686 times in 2010 and will probably go up this year as the OxyContin problem is widely endemic.

About 1.3 million pills were stolen in 2010 and the street price for one OxyContin pill went up to $80. The article also pointed out that there are at least 7 million marijuana users.

The increase in fees was included in one of the over 30 bills that the Committee “barreled through” on Wednesday.

Sen. Doug Whitsett, R-Klamath Falls, objected to the lack of scrutiny over the bills, stating, “It's unacceptable to get this kind of information with no time to study it.”

(SALEM, Ore.) - The wariness of many Oregon medical marijuana patients was validated Friday, when local MMJ dispensaries received a direct warning from the Federal Government and Oregon's top lawmakers.

In some areas, there have been privately run medical dispensaries...doing business on borrowed time. Without the affirmation from voters last fall, it looks like "dispensaries" may not have a leg to stand on. Or do they?
