The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world - Carl Sagan Ph.D., Marihuana Reconsidered (1971). It is difficult to imagine that future studies will subtract much from the clinical experience-driven perception that cannabis is a remarkably versatile medicine with relatively little toxicity. - Dr. Lester Grinspoon, M.D Associate Professor of Psychiatry Harvard Medical School , co-host of Marijuana: The Forbidden Medicine Reckless Disregard — The robber barons of the drug industry, the real drug pushers of America, are determined that we live or die or suffer in ways that help their bottom line regardless of science, logic, medicine, compassion, or any other consideration. When considering the witches brew of concoctions the drug companies want to pour down my throat and into my veins I say a resounding "Just Say No". - Dr. Jay Cavanaugh, Ph.D, member California State Board of Pharmacy 1980-1990, National Director American Alliance for Medical Cannabis. OverGrow forums, 03.11.2003 I was sent undercover to Bangkok during the Vietnam War. I was hanging with Chinese drug dealers in Bangkok. They were smuggling heroin into the U.S. in the dead bodies of GIs who were transshipped through Thailand...when you get in, the first thing you discover is that you can't touch some of the biggest drug dealers in the world because they're protected by the CIA or they're protected by the State Department. Everyone from Carlos Salinas de Gortari of Mexico to Manuel Noriega to the contras in Nicaragua to the Mujahedin in Afghanistan. Those of us who work overseas realize that this whole thing is a three-card monte game, that it's a lie....Michael Levine - Battlefield Conversions If anyone tried to pass laws on those same bases today, they'd be condemned. Yet the laws that we have are the last vestiges of Jim Crow. You don't have to identify yourself as a bigot anymore -- you can be for the drug war and you really are getting "them." - Dr. Joseph McNamara - Police Chief for San Jose from 1976-1991, doctorate in public administration from Harvard, currently a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), Battlefield Conversions |
