For almost three decades, Ed Rosenthal has helped thousands of criminals commit a better crime. "I just give advice on how to cultivate a better garden," Rosenthal said. "It's not my fault that marijuana -- the plant that is my specialty -- is still illegal." The 57-year-old Oakland resident is possibly the world's No. 1 authority on growing marijuana. He has penned more than a dozen books and the "Ask Ed" column for High Times and Cannabis Culture magazines. Snipped Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help |

| For best results, PLEASE use a video camera. As the DEA has been finding out more and more often, violence is counter-productive. [ Post Comment ] |

| Thank you very much for posting the Chronic Use Study PDF. I would urge anyone who can to download this, read it, and distribute freely to news agencies, politicians, skeptics, interested people, relatives, acquaintances, or anyone whose opinion might need updating on clinical cannabis.

| Source: Washington Post (DC) Published: Tuesday, February 26, 2002; Page B03 Copyright: 2002 The Washington Post Company Contact: letterstoed@washpost.com Website: http://www.washingtonpost.com Advocates of marijuana for medical use in the District said they were buoyed by the questions a federal judge asked government attorneys yesterday, as a U.S. District Court hearing about the legality of a new ballot initiative on the subject evolved into a spirited discussion on home rule. Judge Emmet G. Sullivan was hearing motions in the push to get the issue on the ballot in November. Four years ago, Congress blocked a nearly identical bill approved by city voters. "Why does Congress want to inhibit citizens to speak or vote on this issue?" Sullivan asked from the bench. Justice Department attorney Amy Allen Ruggeri said Congress was the "ultimate legislature" of the District and that its regulations were legal. "I don't know if that's the way it should be, but that's the way it is," she told Sullivan. MARYLAND Click on the link below and read Dr. Russo's Chronic Cannabis Use in PDF Format

| Victory! We're in USA Today! The ads picturing John Walters as a parody of the Terrorist/Drug link advertisements the gov't ran during the Super Bowl and now on major networks will be in USA Today and the Washington Post! Man is the s**t gonna hit the fan! We sure hope so. Thanks to all of you out there who helped reach this goal. It's time America was awakened to the truth instead of the propoganda spewed by the US Gov't. DEA implements US police state D.E.A.th Deceptions George W. in the Garden of Gethsemane Bushit Cheneynagans D.E.A.th & Oil! [ Post Comment ] |

| Last night while watching one of the most moving reinactments of civll disobediance on the part of Rosa Parks, I could only think 48 years ago why has no great leader, or big shot basket ball player or base ball player or big shot singer or big shot movie star made the film. Who will make a film of say Robert Randel the first med.marijuana civll disobediance activest to receive marijuana from the Fed. Gov't. over 25 years ago. Where are all the big shots on the left coast that make films. Will it be 48 years for the story to be told. I hope not. mike [ Post Comment ] |

| DEA Director Asa Hutchinson has said pot has no proven medical value. According to the agency's Web site: "There are over 10,000 scientific studies that prove marijuana is a harmful addictive drug. There is not one reliable study that demonstrates marijuana has any medical value." Unbelievable that they would ever make this claim. Cannabis has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Furthermore, no legit study has ever proven any harmful effects, let alone 10,000(!). In fact, If the DEA and Mr. Asa would look back to before 1937, the the U.S. Pharmacopoeia listed cannabis as the primary medicine for more than 100 separate illnesses, and diseases.

| You see what I mean.... 'DEA Director Asa Hutchinson has said pot has no proven medical value. According to the agency's Web site: "There are over 10,000 scientific studies that prove marijuana is a harmful addictive drug. There is not one reliable study that demonstrates marijuana has any medical value."' Someone needs to shoot this guy. The Government LIES with such a fervor and passion that Americans take it as the Truth. MY God, THERE ISN'T EVEN 10,000 STUDIES PUBLISHED ON MARIJUANA?!?!!? Search the publications databases. Where do they get this bullshit? Hasn't someone asked for those 10,000 references? There was some news flash report on some Government medical/nursing-home web page saying that the Government was listing false information on the sites. Why can't someone do one on the DEA's webpage? There isn't ANYONE in the media that can call them out? NOONE? What about someone from SF? This is getting ridiculous.... idbsne1 [ Post Comment ] |

| He wants to stop the lying. Telling the truth is apparently a 'crime'. George Bush was praying for Chinese citizens who are being prosecuted for their religious beliefs. Human rights violations and persecutions, and all that kind of stuff. American citizens who suffer from terminal illnesses are paid short shrift. They haven't got a prayer... especially from George Bush [ Post Comment ] |

| Supporters say his arrest was meant to quiet an outspoken and visible proponent of marijuana. But it may prove difficult to gag a man of so many words. The New York Times is having a very easy time of it. They just stick their self-righteous postmodern noses up in the air and pretend that he doesn't exist. This from the newspaper that managed to interview Boris Pasternak in 1960!!!! This is what the postmodern belief system has brought to journalism -- a complete and utter loss of any sense of shame over overtly biased rpeorting. Of course then the problem with this is that the NYT has become NOT the newspaper to read if you want to know what's actually happening in America. [ Post Comment ] |

| DEA Director Asa Hutchinson has said pot has no proven medical value. According to the agency's Web site: "There are over 10,000 scientific studies that prove marijuana is a harmful addictive drug. There is not one reliable study that demonstrates marijuana has any medical value." a. I'm sure the Institute of Medicine and the Proceeedings of the National Academy of Sciences would like to know that they publish unreliable studies. This will surely endear them even further to the DEA. b. After the hemp ban, do they seriously believe they have one shred of public credibility left outside of Joyce Nalepka and the Family Research Council? I mean really, talk about people living on their own special planet. Hello, Earth to DEA, you've basically destroyed your public credibility with the hemp ban. And you can't really beat cancer care nurses and AIDS treatment professionals by calling them unreliable, because people live or die according to the care these professionals give. The DEA doesn't save lives. They only confiscate people and drugs. You're never going to hear a person say their life was saved or improved by anything any DEA agent did. Even addicts who go into treatment are going to credit their treatment professionals, not the DEA, with saving them from addiction. So who are people going to believe -- the nurse's organization in their state, or the DEA web site? After all, anybody can set up a web site and say whatever they want. Not everybody can take care of people with cancer. [ Post Comment ] |
