War on Patients to Escalate: Federal Government Announces Plan to Raid
Cannabis Buyers' Clubs | ||||||||
On January 9, The U.S. Department of Justice filed civil suits to shut
down six of the not-for-profit medicinal marijuana dispensaries, known
as Cannabis Buyers' Clubs (CBCs), throughout Northern California. CBC
workers who refuse to comply will be arrested. One of these workers
specifically named in the federal suit is an AIDS patient, Barbara
Sweeney. | ||||||||
The Clinton administration is subverting the will of California voters
by these suits against the courageous caregivers who help seriously ill
patients obtain medicinal marijuana. Ironically, CBCs would not even be
needed if the federal government would allow licensed pharmacies to
distribute medicinal marijuana. | ||||||||
Proposition 215, passed by California voters in November 1996, calls on
the "federal and state governments to implement a plan to provide for
the safe and affordable distribution of marijuana to all patients in
medical need." While state and federal prosecutors have been working to
subvert Proposition 215, numerous city and county governments throughout
California have established regulations to allow tightly controlled CBCs
to operate. | ||||||||
Local governments have passed laws or entered into agreements which
allow CBCs to give patients a safe, affordable supply of marijuana. CBCs
undercut organized crime - patients no longer need to buy their medicine
from drug dealers on street corners. How dare the cruel, power-hungry
federal government interfere with local laws that work? This
'Washington-knows-best' attitude results in drug policies that do
nothing but harm. | ||||||||
When the government starts raiding CBCs, the Marijuana Policy Project
hopes that the media will resist the urge to focus on the one or two
flamboyant CBCs. The public should know that the vast majority are
professional, well-regulated, and tightly controlled. | ||||||||
These People Made a Difference: A Eulogy by Chuck Thomas | ||||||||
Two of the medicinal marijuana patients and activists who passed away in
1997 that I had the pleasure of working with were Lucie Bergmann Shuster
and Andrew Hasenfeld, Ph.D. Despite their suffering, both testified
before a National Institutes of Health (NIH) medicinal marijuana panel
last February. This influential government panel made strong statements
supporting marijuana's medical value, including, "We know that for some
people, it makes a difference." | ||||||||
Many of the NIH panelists would not have fully understood this fact - or
had the courage to publicly state it - if not for the heartfelt
testimony of Lucie, Andrew and several other patients who testified. The
NIH panel's supportive statements will be cited by medicinal marijuana
advocates for years to come, arguing that if marijuana "makes a
difference," then patients should not be arrested for using it. It's
only a matter of time before the laws are changed and marijuana is made
legally available to seriously ill people. Lucie and Andrew truly made a
difference. | ||||||||
Lucie Bergmann Shuster, a middle-aged, married woman from San Jose,
California, was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago. She
suffered debilitating nausea from her chemotherapy, despite having tried
all of the legal anti-emetics. Like TV character Murphy Brown, Lucie
reluctantly tried marijuana - and it worked. A couple of puffs was all
that she needed. After several bouts of chemotherapy, she barely
finished an eighth-ounce baggie, and she had no interest in using
marijuana recreationally. She was politically active in health care and
breast cancer issues. | ||||||||
Lucie passed away on September 18, 1997. | ||||||||
Andrew Hasenfeld, a 40-year-old man from Amherst, Massachusetts,
suffered from multiple sclerosis for nearly 20 years. Andrew earned a
Ph.D. in physics and had developed useful medical technology during his
career. Ironically, the only substance that controlled his spasticity
was a naturally growing plant that had been used as a medicine thousands
of years before Isaac Newton's time. | ||||||||
Andrew participated in numerous medicinal marijuana advocacy efforts in Massachusetts. His testimony at the February 1997 NIH conference was compelling, cutting right to the core of the issue when he asked the panel, "I'm in a wheelchair already. Do you want to see me in jail?" | ||||||||
Andrew passed away on December 21, 1997, from MS-related complications. | ||||||||
Andrew and Lucie were a pleasure and inspiration to work with. Their
serious, respectable attitudes were complimented by their good-natured
sense of humor. Throughout the two-day NIH conference, Lucie kept busy
helping the other patients, many of whom were in wheelchairs or nearly
blind. Andrew, even when barely able to hold his head up, would ask, "Is
there anything else I should do?" | ||||||||
The lesson that Andrew and Lucie taught by example was that no matter how stacked the odds are against you, you can always do something to help others. Over the years, countless healthy, financially secure people have declined to help change the marijuana laws, fearing legal hassles, a damaged reputation, or claiming that they "can't afford" the time or money. Some say, "It's too much work, so why bother?" | ||||||||
People like Andrew and Lucie are the reason to bother - people who risk
losing their medicine and their freedom by outing themselves as
criminals for using medicinal marijuana, so that someday, long after
they're gone, other people in the same situation won't have to suffer or
be arrested. | ||||||||
In 1997, Andrew and Lucie made a difference at NIH. In 1998, will their legacy make a difference for the entire reform movement? | ||||||||

The woman in the commercial smashes an egg to show what a brain on drugs looks like, then claims the yolk dripping from the frying pan is what a body on drugs feels like. Then she goes on a rampage breaking plates and glasses, declaring: "This is what your family goes through." | ||||||||
The television ad - part of a $195 million anti-drug advertising campaign launched by the White House and aimed at America's youth - was one of four spots previewed yesterday by 200 fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders at Lafayette Elementary School in Northwest Washington. The fast-paced, thought-provoking ads, which began airing on local television stations in Washington last night, will be viewed locally in 11 other cities before they are shown nationally in June. | ||||||||
The goal of the five-year campaign is to encourage adults to talk openly
with children about illegal substances and to stir children to talk with
their peers about drugs, said Barry R. McCaffrey, White House national
drug policy director. | ||||||||
"I thought [the advertisement] was kind of strange, and it caught my eye because it was interesting," said Aaron Laporte, 11, one of the awestruck sixth-graders who watched the ad in the school auditorium. "It's saying, Don't take drugs, because they hurt your body." | ||||||||

Cannabis Clubs | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| ||||||||
California's cannabis clubs vow to continue distributing marijuana -one
way or another-despite a formidable attack by the U.S. Justice
Department. | ||||||||
Almost all 17 clubs in the state said they are seeking new ways to
continue serving their estimated 6,300 clients, either by restructuring
their organizations, opening under new management or creating
clandestine distribution routes. | ||||||||
"We'll devise a plan to help people (get marijuana)," said Dennis Peron,
whose Cannabis Cultivators' Club was targeted in the federal probe. "We
cannot abandon the sick and dying.... This will not stop medical
marijuana." | ||||||||
In a broad and sweeping effort to close the clubs, the U.S. Justice
Department filed suit Friday to enjoin pot distribution by six clubs in
Marin, San Francisco, Oakland, Santa Cruz and Ukiah. | ||||||||
Officials would not say why those six clubs were singled out, but they did not rule out investigating activities at the others. | ||||||||

San Francisco - The federal government renewed its battle against the
state's medical marijuana law Friday,moving to shut down six marijuana
buyers' clubs in Northern California. | ||||||||
U.S. Attorney Michael Yamaguchi filed civil suits seeking to halt operation of the clubs - two in San Francisco and one each in Oakland, southern Marin County, Santa Cruz and Ukiah - for violations of federal laws against the possession, cultivation and distribution of marijuana. | ||||||||
"The issue is not the medical use of marijuana. It is the persistent
violation of federal law," Yamaguchi said at a news conference. He said
the civil suits, which target only the clubs and their operators and not
individual patients, were a "measured approach" short of criminal
charges. | ||||||||
Undercover drug agents had bought marijuana at each club and had seen purchases by other customers, according to court papers. | ||||||||

SAN FRANCISCO - For the first time since California voters approved the use of medical marijuana, the federal government Friday mounted a legal battle to shut down six Northern California clubs that sell the weed. | ||||||||
The government wants to "send a clear message regarding the illegality
of marijuana cultivation and distribution," said Michael Yamaguchi, the
U.S. attorney for Northern California. | ||||||||
His office filed civil lawsuits Friday accusing the clubs and 10 of
their operators of distribution of marijuana, and seeking permanent
injunctions to close centers in San Francisco, Oakland, Santa Cruz,
Ukiah and Marin. | ||||||||
The move comes as medical marijuana advocates in other states are
pushing to follow California's lead, seeking similar ballot initiatives
to allow patients to grow and use marijuana with a doctor's
recommendation. | ||||||||

SAN FRANCISCO - Putting its weight for the first time behind efforts to
undercut California's voter-approved Proposition 215, the Clinton
administration Friday filed a flurry of lawsuits seeking to shut down
six Northern California marijuana clubs. | ||||||||
The U.S. Justice Department filed the lawsuits in federal courts in San
Francisco, Oakland and San Jose, attempting to finally resolve a
conflict between federal drug laws and the state ballot initiative
voters approved in November 1996 allowing sales of marijuana for
medicinal purposes. | ||||||||
Federal officials did not move to close San Jose's Cannabis Center,
although word of the Justice Department's offensive created some panic
among the club's operators and patrons. "I'm relieved (we were not
sued), but I know we're not out of the woods," said Peter Baez, the
center's executive director. "The federal government will do everything
it takes. I'm sure our time will come." | ||||||||

In a major strike in the federal government's war on California's new
medicinal marijuana law, U.S. Attorney Michael Yamaguchi filed suits to
close six cannabis clubs that distribute the drug to hundreds of
Northern Californians each week. | ||||||||
Despite the state's Proposition 215, passed by voters in 1996, Yamaguchi
said the federal Controlled Substances Act made it unlawful to
cultivate, distribute or possess marijuana. | ||||||||
"California's medical marijuana status has no effect on the
applicability of federal drug laws," Yamaguchi said in a Friday press
conference. | ||||||||
"Although California appears to have decriminalized marijuana ... the
federal law governing the distribution, cultivation, and possession of
marijuana has not changed," he said. | ||||||||
Marijuana activist Dennis Peron, whose San Francisco-based club is
targeted by the probe, said he would fight the action in court and, if
necessary, with civil disobedience. | ||||||||

SAN FRANCISCO - The federal government struck a broad blow against advocates of medical marijuana Friday, moving to shut down six major marijuana dispensaries operating in Northern California. | ||||||||
Michael J. Yamaguchi, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District, filed
separate civil lawsuits charging the six "cannabis clubs" and 10 of
their operators with violating federal drug laws. The suits seek
permanent closures of two outlets in San Francisco and others in
Oakland, Ukiah, Santa Cruz and Marin County. | ||||||||
"The issue is not the medical use of marijuana," Yamaguchi said. "It is
the continued violation of federal law." | ||||||||
Calling the move a "measured approach," Yamaguchi said the suits stem
from an ongoing federal investigation into club activities, and do not
rule out the filing of future criminal charges. | ||||||||

Heroin | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| ||||||||
Last week, Supervisor Gavin Newsom called for changing federal
regulations to endorse private physicans' prescribing of methadone to
heroin addicts. | ||||||||
Newsom is right for many reasons. Endorsing private physician
prescription and pharmacy dispensation would allow patients stabilized
on methadone to leave the clinic setting, thus freeing up slots for
addicts closer to the street who may need more supervision initially.
Treatment by private physicians would be cheaper, and would allow
patients to lead more normal lives. | ||||||||
Citing increased overdose deaths and long waiting lists for treatment,
Newsom wants to "start looking at the problem as a medical one." It's
about time. Today, less than 20 percent of the nation's heroin addicts
are enrolled in methadone maintenance, largely because programs are
mired in red tape and regulations, or are inaccessible because of cost
or location. | ||||||||
In the late 1960s, after working with heroin addicts, Drs. Vincent Dole and Marie Nyswander argued that addiction was a physiological disease. Methadone, it was found, could lessen the physical craving for heroin, and its daily use would enable a patient to stop using heroin and become a productive member of society. According to Dr. Robert Newman of Beth Israel Hospital in New York, the media heralded methadone as a "Cinderella drug" that could be economically applied to hundreds of thousands of addicts, and, in short order, solve the narcotics problem. | ||||||||

| ||||||||
CHARLOTTE - The nation's largest farmers' group is buzzing about hemp
production as it meets to hash out stands on pocketbook issues such as
property rights, taxes and foreign imports. | ||||||||
Delegates to the American Farm Bureau Federation's annual convention, which began Sunday in Charlotte, will revisit a policy statement supporting research into the economic potential of industrial hemp production in the United States. The group has 4.6 million members. | ||||||||
Farmers supporting the current policy say they just want to explore a
hardy crop that shows promise for use in fibers, fuel and foods.
Opponents of hemp production and research are citing the concern of
law-enforcement agencies, which say it would be difficult for agents to
distinguish between hemp and its cousin, marijuana. | ||||||||

| ||||||||
A proposal to legalize the growing of hemp for industrial purposes is
the 38th initiative certified to collect voter signatures for a place on
California's 1998 general election ballot. | ||||||||
The petition drive, which started Friday, must collect verified
signatures of 433,269 registered voters by May 18. | ||||||||
The proposal by Sam H. Clauder II of Garden Grove would legalize the
growing, harvesting, storage and use of hemp for use as a building
material or in the production of cloth, paper, fuels and various
building materials and industrial chemicals. | ||||||||
It contends that California's current ban on hemp, a member of the same
plant family as marijuana, prohibits the state from participating in a
thriving global market for industrial hemp. | ||||||||
It raises the number of initiatives in circulation for the November
ballot to 38. Five initiatives are expected to be certified for the June
ballot. | ||||||||

Medical Marijuana | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| ||||||||
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 12 (UPI) - State Sen. John Vasconcellos has stepped up
his effort to get help for users of medical marijuana. | ||||||||
The Santa Clara Democrat held a Capitol news conference today to announce a half-dozen measures to implement Proposition 215, the medical marijuana law approved by 6 million California voters in November 1996. | ||||||||
Vasconcellos says he's outraged by state and federal efforts to thwart
distribution of marijuana to patients of AIDS, cancer and other diseases
who want the drug to ease their pain. | ||||||||
He cited the recent U.S. Justice Department closure of northern
California cannibis clubs under a federal law that conflicts with
Proposition 215 - an action he promises to appeal. | ||||||||
The lawmaker also announced plans for a Public Safety Committee "summit"
on the distribution issue in hopes of reconciling diverse viewpoints,
and new implementing legislation based on the meeting. | ||||||||
Vasconcellos promised renewed efforts to move a bill off the Assembly
floor that would authorize a three-year University of California study
on medical use of the drug. | ||||||||
The Senate passed it last year, but it fell short in the Assembly despite support from state Attorney General Dan Lungren. | ||||||||
Vasconellos is also asking colleagues to sign a protest letter to President Clinton, and appealing to citizens to do the same. | ||||||||

Prosecutors in five counties want to put Gatewood Galbraith's
marijuana-smoking clients on trial. | ||||||||
So, in his inimitably colorful and passionate way, Galbraith plans to seize the initiative and put Kentucky's marijuana laws on trial instead. | ||||||||
Galbraith - a Lexington lawyer, occasional gubernatorial candidate and
self-proclaimed lover of the weed - has filed a flurry of motions in the
criminal cases in Allen, Butler, Clark, Rowan and Trimble counties. He's
asking the judges to recognize marijuana as a medicine and "the safest
therapeutic substance known to man." | ||||||||
Each of Galbraith's clients claims to have cultivated and used marijuana
for personal medical use, not for sale to the public. It's illogical to
deny people access to a plant that grows naturally in the ground if it
can improve their conditions, Galbraith said this week. | ||||||||
"If Jack Kevorkian can walk around and dispense his particular brand of
medical cure, I don't see why my clients can't use this God-given,
all-natural remedy," said Galbraith. | ||||||||

The Drug War | ||||||||
| ||||||||
| ||||||||
Though it was virtually unheard of 15 years ago, mandatory drug testing
in the workplace has spread faster than marijuana smoke at a Grateful
Dead concert. | ||||||||
Testing requirements now blanket millions of people nationwide -
especially job seekers. And technology is improving to the point that
it's difficult, if not impossible, for drug users to escape the net of
some advanced tests. | ||||||||
"It's becoming more accepted and more widespread. And it's still growing," said Daryl G. Grecich, a spokesman for the Institute for a Drug-Free Workplace, a pro-testing group in Washington, D.C. | ||||||||
The Chicago Police Department is the most recent employer here to crack down on drug users. But the latest sweep isn't in the streets - it's now screened through hair samples, a cutting-edge technology that can extend the reach of a drug test almost 90 times for most substances. | ||||||||

PECOS (AP) - The FBI has completed its investigation into the fatal shooting of a border teen-ager by a U.S. Marine and forwarded the case to federal civil rights investigators, an FBI spokesman said Friday. | ||||||||
The Department of Justice is trying to determine whether there were any civil rights violations during the May 20 shooting of Esequiel Hernandez Jr. in Redford, a rural community about 200 miles southeast of El Paso. | ||||||||
"Unless the Department of Justice requires additional information, our
investigation is complete," said Terry Kincaid, agent in charge of the
FBI office in Midland. | ||||||||
Military officials say Cpl. Clemente Banuelos killed Hernandez after the
teen-ager began shooting at a four-man Marine team conducting anti-drug
surveillance along the Rio Grande. | ||||||||
A Presidio County grand jury last year cleared Banuelos and the other
three Marines of any wrongdoing in the case. | ||||||||
The Justice Department then stepped up its investigation and a federal
grand jury in Pecos began hearing from witnesses. | ||||||||
Daryl Fields, a U.S. Attorney's spokesman in San Antonio, declined to comment on the case beyond saying the investigation was continuing. | ||||||||

Seeking to cleanse prisons of illegal drugs, the Clinton administration
plans to tell the states that they have to determine and report the
extent of illicit drug use among their inmates before they can receive
more federal money to spend on prisons. | ||||||||
The information that the states provide will be used to create a
baseline to measure their progress in reducing drugs inside prison,
which in turn will qualify them for more federal money. | ||||||||
President Clinton is scheduled to sign the directive in the Oval Office
on Monday. A draft copy, which is addressed to Attorney General Reno,
was provided by a senior administration official who said that it had
been circulating in the White House, the Justice Department and other
interested agencies for the last month or two. | ||||||||
The document reflects a belief within the administration that crimping
the supply of drugs in prison will cut the demand for them after the
convicts are released. "With more than half the individuals in our
criminal justice system estimated to have a substance abuse problem,"
the draft says, "promoting coerced abstinence within the criminal
justice system offers us a unique opportunity to break this cycle of
crime and drugs." | ||||||||

STANFORD - Twenty-five years ago, President Richard M. Nixon announced a "War on Drugs." I criticized the action on both moral and expediential grounds in my Newsweek column of May 1, 1972, "Prohibition and Drugs": | ||||||||
"On ethical grounds, do we have the right to use the machinery of
government to prevent an individual from becoming an alcoholic or a drug
addict? For children, almost everyone would answer at least a qualified
yes. But for responsible adults, I, for one, would answer no. Reason
with the potential addict, yes. Tell him the consequences, yes. Pray for
and with him, yes. But I believe that we have no right to use force,
directly or indirectly, to prevent a fellow man from committing suicide,
let alone from drinking alcohol or taking drugs." | ||||||||
That basic ethical flaw has inevitably generated specific evils during
the past quarter century, just as it did during our earlier attempt at
alcohol prohibition. | ||||||||

WASHINGTON - Eighty percent of people behind bars were involved with alcohol or other drugs at the times of the crime, a report says. | ||||||||
And, alcohol plays a role in a greater number of violent crimes than crack or powder cocaine, according to the report by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University in New York. | ||||||||
The three year study released Thursday found that 1.4 million of the 1.7
million people serving time in the nation's jails and prisons committed
crimes while they were high, stole property to buy drugs, have a history
of drug or alcohol abuse or are in jail for violating drug or alcohol
laws. | ||||||||
The 281-page report concludes that criminal activity because of drugs and alcohol is the overwhelming reason the nation's prison population has risen nearly 239% since 1980, when 501,886 people were behind bars. | ||||||||
"People think prisons are full of James Cagney types and psychopaths, but they are actually full of alcoholics and drug addicts, and we can deal with that through treatment," says Joseph Califano Jr., president of the center and former secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. | ||||||||

| ||||||||
One in three of the more than 570,000 AIDS cases reported in the USA since the beginning of the epidemic has been caused, directly or indirectly, by injection drug misuse. Although HIV-infection rates among homosexual men have fallen, rates due to intravenous drug misuse have soared and about half of new HIV infections now can be traced to that source. Those affected are not only the drug misusers infected by contaminated needles but their sexual partners (most of whom have been poor, black, and Hispanic women) and the children of women infected by drug misuse or sexual contact with infected drug misusers. Injection drug misuse is now the leading primary cause of paediatric AIDS. | ||||||||
Yet, despite this epidemic, the USA remains one of the few
industrialised countries that refuses to provide easy access to sterile
syringes. Of the 100 or so US needle-exchange programmes most are small
and underfunded, and some are illegal. Most US states still have laws on
drug paraphernalia or syringe prescription that make it a crime to give
a drug misuser a clean needle. | ||||||||
The Clinton Administration now has an opportunity to address this problem. In 1997 the US Congress banned the use of Federal funds for needle-exchange programmes until March 31, 1998, but after that date the legislation allows funding if the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines that exchange programmes are effective in preventing the spread of HIV and do not encourage the use of illegal drugs. But with the deadline fast approaching, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala, has yet to make an official determination, causing AIDS activists to wonder whether the Administration will refuse to endorse needle-exchange programmes out of fear that the step will open the President to the charge that he is "soft on drugs". | ||||||||
