A Barrymore Hurt in Pot-Plant Robbery |
Posted by CN Staff on May 06, 2002 at 17:29:47 PT By Ray Delgado, Chronicle Staff Writer Source: San Francisco Chronicle Former actor John Barrymore III, a member of the illustrious acting family, is recovering from an attack at his Mountain View home last week allegedly by a group of teenagers who were trying to steal his large stash of marijuana. Barrymore, 47, and his wife, Rebecca, were both assaulted in the Wednesday afternoon attack, and Mountain View police say the couple will likely be arrested for possession of more than 100 marijuana plants that were grown in their garage and backyard.

Dexanabinol (HU-211) is still investigational in the USA. Cannabis is illegal. I have not heard of any of my colleagues brazen enough to give Marinol acutely in head injury cases although it could sure help. [ Post Comment ] |

Dr. Russo, I hope the poor guy's brain doctors at Stanford are current on their cannabinoid science. It could make a really big difference in his future. [ Post Comment ] |

If anyone sees the name of Mr. Barrymore's attorney in a news story, I'd appreciate knowing who s/he is. There is something about plopping down a 72 page article on cannabis in migraine treatment that tends to make DA's pale. I love it when that happens! [ Post Comment ] |

...sophisticated.... Jeez, somebody had better write these lame-brained antis some new cheat-sheets; this one is getting old. 'Sophisticated', eh? Let me ask you; ever looked inside of the things you buy? How many of you have ever opened the side panels on your computers and actually looked in there? Daunting mass of cables, circuit boards, lights, nuts and bolts, ain't it? I deal with it every day; nothin' to be afraid of. So long as you know what you are about, that is. Rather 'sophisticated', wouldn't you say? How about popping the hood of your car; too 'sophisticated' to stick your hands in there? But look at your average indoor growroom: a light, some trays for plants, maybe a tank for water, a fan, that sort of thing...hardly what you would all 'hi-tech'. And primitive as Hell...compared to what Uncle has in certain very quietly maintained places. Like the ratholes the VP hides in... Definitely not 'sophisticated'. Most antis are, at their core, unimaginative drudges barely able to comprehend the assembly manual for a bicycle, much less a computer; anything more technologically advanced than a spoon is 'sophisticated' for them. They are the Information Age's equivalent of Marx's lumpenproletariat; so hopelessly backward that no effort at retraining helps. Such as they wouldn't recognize technical 'sophistication' if it bit them on their ample arses. [ Post Comment ] |

Head injury victims need cannabinoids. Cannabinoids block the harmful chemicals released into the brain after a head injury, stroke or seizure. The poor guy had his medicine confiscated, I hope someone is taking care of his needs. [ Post Comment ] |

No mention of how the prohibition of cannabis makes an herb that would cost less than lettuce worth $400 an ounce, enough to compel teenagers to hit someone over the head for it. In a reasonable world, they be off growing their own. And its too bad that there are people in the world that would hit you over the head for your sneakers or cell phone. One positive thing to come out of this will be a celebrity name and voice soon to join the cause of ending prohibition. Wonder if they'll try to take his house? [ Post Comment ] |
