		<description>Dear America, Does this story really surprise you? Since the invasion of this land and take-over by the invaders, we citizens have been lied to by almost everyone but, especially our own GOVERNMENT. Our parents lied to us about Santa. Our teachers lied to us by the &quot;discovery&quot; of this land by Columbus, our partners-male or female, lied to us about their past, Politicians are chronic, habitual, hypocritical liars. WE ARE LIED TO CONSTANTLY. After all of the pain and suffering millions of people have endured, after all of the property stolen from us by the &quot;Zero Tolerance&quot; law, do you really think Marijuana, for any reason medical or not, will truly be legalized? I hope so. So much money is made from keeping drugs illegal, I really doubt it. Does one have to be dying to get relief from this amazing plant? It depends on where you live. I take hand-fulls of Morphine for pain relief. This was easy for me to get as I really suffer from chronic pain. But, Medical grade Cannabis works even better. My sex-life is almost non-exsistent, I am physically addicted(I have been taking Morphine for 12 yrs. now) and am no different from a street junkie other than I live better, don&#039;t commit crimes, and my supply is consistant and sanitary. My dealer wears a white smock as opposed to filthy clothes, and I don&#039;t fear legal problems. At the end of the day, if I do not have my meds. I will get very sick and probably have to be hospitalized. So, what do you think? I would really love to hear your comments. I don&#039;t mean to sound ungrateful. I just want the truth to be told, THAT&quot;S ALL! And in this country, I honestly don&#039;t think this is possible.</description>

		<description>Just a thought - if the government has shitty weed, it must be &quot;less potent&quot; than black market or dispensary weed.  So, therefore, it&#039;s easy for prohibitionists to say that pot has become &quot;more potent&quot; in the last 20 years or so.  I&#039;ve heard that the weed given to the Elvy Musikka and Irv Rosenfeld, two of the 4 legal cannabis by the government is old and of lower potency.  
Come to think of it, that would also support the prohibitionists&#039; claim that smoking marijuana causes cancer, because you have to consume more of it.
The U.S. government is making fun of cannabis consumers with this program.

		<description>I know two of the four Federal legal medical cannabis recipients, Irv Rosnefeld, visit him @ www.potluckrx.com, and Elvy Musikka visit her @ 
www.elvymusikka.com
Both of them have been receiving thier medical grade cannabis from this facility for years, I cannot speak for them but I have never heard any complaints.
Also here is an email that I sent to Dr. Lyle Craker and his reply:

&gt; Dear Dr. Craker,
&gt; I am contacting you in wishing you the best in your quest for research in cannabis.
I have had unfortunately a tussle with the federal government and the DEA in 1993 because of my horticulture interests in cannabis which I exercised for many years.
&gt; I have found cannabis very useful during the course of my life.
&gt; I currently use cannabis for Chronic Myofascial Pain, without the side effects of prescribed medications, the only side effect I suffer from cannabis is arrest. Over the years, I have associated with many people in the medical cannabis movement.
&gt; I personally know Elvy Musikka and Irv Rosenfeld, two of the 4 legal cannabis patients in the U.S.
&gt; If there is anything that I can help you with or anybody in the movement that can please feel free to contact me as we all are in this for the good of all not for fame or fortune.
&gt; I do appreciate you time and again all the best in regards to your quest.
&gt; Sincerely,
&gt; Ray DiPasquale 

Dear Mr. DiPasquale:
Many thanks for your words of support, I really appreciate. We must continue to keep the pressure on the DEA and other government organizations to recognize the medical benefits of this plant. I urge people to contact their congressional representatives and ask them to support our effort to legally study this plant material.
My best wishes.

		<description>Is there any way to get documentation of the research that they have done over the last 41 years? The only thing I heard was that they made a suppository and that &quot;research is clear marijuana is an addictive drug.&quot; That doesn&#039;t sound like a recent conclusion. I&#039;m concerned that they&#039;ve not used their resources wisely. It seems like opening up research to a broader group of organizations is very much in order.</description>

Isn’t ringing in the ears the sound of blood flow and pressure?

&lt;b&gt;RE:
- That can be one of the reasons....
 
However,
in this instance, ringing is

		<description>WANT TO RUN THE U.S. GOVERNMENT&#039;S GROW FARM?

The U.S. Government...can&#039;t even run itself, let alone a grow farm.  By the way...if anyone doesn&#039;t think that government doesn&#039;t run every aspect of our lives right now...government will &quot;own us body and soul&quot; if &quot;socialized medicine&quot; passes.  I for one, am NOT a piece of putty in anyone&#039;s hands...but my own.</description>
