ROLL YOUR OWN BLACKOUT, JUNE 21: In protest of George W. Bush's energy policies and lack of emphasis on
efficiency, conservation and alternative fuels, there will be a voluntary rolling blackout on the first day of summer, June 21 at 7pm - 10pm in any time zone (this will roll it across the planet). It's a simple protest and a symbolic act. Turn out your lights from 7pm-10pm on June 21. Unplug whatever you can unplug in your house. Light a candle to the sun god, kiss and tell, make love, tell ghost stories, do something instead of watching television, have fun in the dark. http://www.rollyourownblackout.com/

Okay.

But opponents of the medical MJ endorsement said, "they were concerned that the AMA's endorsement would have led to more widespread use of medical marijuana than the proposal intended."

Anyone with a working brain (a minority in this country, I realize) who reads this article should plainly see that what drives the AMA is not the health and well-being of all Americans. Rather, they are driven by a combination of political correctness, drive to increase membership roles, and money.

Think about it: if the AMA were really concerned about making medically available any drug that might be abused, they would never endorse Ritalin, Xanax (as has already been mentioned), hydrocodone (which, by the way, never worked for me; cannabis was far better at releiving my pain after surgery), or any of the SSRIs (Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac).

NOTE: I once took Zoloft for about nine months for depression, but I decided to taper off until I could quit entirely because the doctors and Pfizer kept telling me that "many people will need to take SSRIs for the rest of their lives." By the way, Pfizer has doctors recommend their little series on dealing with depression for anyone taking Zoloft, and if you continue to take Zoloft faithfully and do all of the little lessons, you get a reward when you finish the program. As I recall, the program takes about 6 months. Way to keep people hooked, Pfizer).

Nope, it's not the possibility of people abusing the medical system that worries the AMA; it's pissing off the pharmaceuticals industries that has them running around like thousands of blind chickens seeking the same kernel of corn.

+ we are calculated.

And the one thing the AMA and Pharmaceutical
companies do well is restrict access to healthful
medicines, and say, "See, if it wasn't for your Travilol
cocktail with benzo-a-pyrene ligatase, you'd never be
able to breathe with all the muscle relaxants we've
been prescribing for your lower back pain."

If cannabis ever becomes legal and cheaply available,
a lot of pharmaceutical companies are going to take a
massive hit in revenue. And the doctors who prescribe
drugs to deal with drugs to deal with drugs to deal with
symptoms lose out, too.

AMA president Fishbein still recommended cannabis for menstrual migraine in 1942, a year after it was removed from the National Formulary.

Can we dis-endorse the AMA as quacks?

If, quote: "A proposal to endorse the limited use of medical marijuana for seriously ill patients was rejected at the American Medical Association's annual meeting". Then do they so endorse caging humans for for the un-endorsed?
