the feds know the healing power of marijuana .thats not the problem its the crimnal police prosicuters prisons and all the other dispicable proffitteres in human misery who wish to profit at our expense .

1.There have been 4 studies that show marijuana blocks cancer. And a man in Canada has cured skin cancer for hundreds of people with hemp oil.
The pharmaceutical companies have no cancer blocking medicines,so the government can't claim that legal medicines are available.
2.Here are 33 clinical studies,showing medical applications of marijuana,and they refuse to even allow the tests required by the FDA to approve marijuana
as a medicine. Any one that has ever smoked,ingested or vaporized too much marijuana knows of the safety of the herb,and no amount of jail time or seizure of their property will ever convince them that it is a dangerous drug.
3.The Attorney General announced on Feb 28,2009 that the federal government would no longer use Justice Department resources to prosecute any states legal medical marijuana dispensaries. It has been 7 month's and they have not spoken of it or clarified and published the guidelines for medical marijuana dispensaries,and it was in June that the budget committee asked for clarification so that the new laws could be enacted and budgeting could be adjusted to accommodate the new policy. The Department of Justice still has not done that. And the raids continue. Although you can bet some of the raids were on fronts for entrepreneurs using a medical dispensary to just sell marijuana,too patients and anyone that wants it,the courts will have to decide which of them are legitimate or not,and too second guess whether it was a front or not is impossible.
4. Alaska did decriminalize marijuana,and the federal government brought so much pressure on them for it,they had to reverse it to receive their federal
funding,and not because of increased youth use as claimed by the ONDCP and the anti-drug cartels.

Although the losses incurred by the bureaucracies,whose budgets will be reduced by legalization,the greatest losses will be incurred by the pharmaceutical companies,and they are the largest contributors to our elected legislators election funds. They are the strongest lobbies in our
political system,so most of your senators and representatives are bought and paid for before they even take their oath.
Any senator or representative that refuses to allow legalization of medical marijuana,regardless of scientific studies and clinical tests,just because the
ONDCP or any of it's bureaucratic empire,are basing their decision on an agency that is required to lie about marijuana's medical applications and are allowing people too contract cancer at a 62% greater rate than they would if they smoked,ingested,or vaporized marijuana in it's natural form.
All of our legislators have expressed anger and resentment that a terrorist was "traded for oil" and yet they "trade" our health and allow people to die of cancers and/or spend their life savings trying to treat cancers with the pharmaceutical chemicals and procedures provided by Big Pharmacy.
They are now trying to reform health care,wouldn't the possible reduction of cancer and the reduction of treatment costs and expense not be a health reform. In all their "health plans",they have not offered any reduction in what Big Pharmacy charges you.
The pharmaceutical companies are trying to develop medicines from marijuana that treat cancer,by isolating the exact compounds from marijuana,but so far have been unsuccessful. But statistical studies show that the plant already reduces cancer risks. The researchers state that they don't know why or how it does it,but it does. Other clinical studies have shown the process works,but they can't just isolate and synthesize the compounds and produce a "safe medicine" so far.
Please send your elected legislators the above article and the article on the cancer blocking attributes and if they send you a letter back,with any refusal based on ONDCP"s claims,or because marijuana is a Schedule I drug,put it on every site you can,so we the voters can remove these terrorists from our government:
Dear Friend:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the medical use of marijuana. I welcome your thoughts and comments on this issue.

Currently, marijuana is classified in the Schedule I category under the Controlled Substances Act. These substances have no accepted medical use in the United States and have a high potential for abuse, which legally restricts them from being used for any reason, including medicinal purposes.

Researchers have found marijuana use can adversely affect brain activity and the respiratory system, lead to increases in heart rate and blood pressure, and impair critical skills related to attention, memory, and learning. In addition, the harmful chemical in marijuana, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), has been linked to low birth weight and impaired motor development in children whose mother's used marijuana. While I am supportive of a patient's right to pursue all legally available options for medical treatment, I therefore am opposed to any effort legalizing the use of marijuana.

I appreciate hearing from you and hope you will not hesitate to keep in touch on any issue of concern to you.

Sincerely,
Kay Bailey Hutchison
United States Senator
