No one's told drug-war soldier about peace breaking out -
By Susan Greene,
Denver Post Columnist
The Obama administration has pledged to end federal interference in states that have legalized medical marijuana. But in Colorado, it has failed to call off one of its dogs.
A Coloradan who works for the president's drug-policy office is leading efforts to undermine the state's constitutional amendment allowing cannabis for medical use. On the federal dime, Tom Gorman, director of the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program, is lobbying state lawmakers to gut the Colorado law.
Either Gorman didn't get the memo about changes in federal drug policy, or he's going rogue. Whichever the case, no one in D.C. seems to mind.

Actually, it's because Tom Gorman, who works in the Obama administration in the Office of Drug Control Policy is leading a campaign to gut and discredit Colorado's constitutional amendment 20 which allows cannabis use for medical reasons. Mr. Gorman is also director of the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program in Colorado running an arm of the National Drug Control Policy office in four Western States.
Gorman has a contract that funnels $150,00 a year in federal money and he claims "Technically, if you ask me who I represent, it's the Colorado Drug Investigators Association" in an interview with Susan Greene he goes on to say "Pot smokers are gaming the system" and "chaos and moral decay will ensue". Tom Gorman was instrumental in the campaign to overturn Arizona's widely supported medical marijuana law in 1996.
This is an outrage. This is an Obama administration director who is going against statements made by Attorney General Eric Holder on March 18, 2009 in which he declares the administration will be stopping the raids on medical marijuana patents and dispensaries. Mr. Gorman appears to be violating Federal law which does not allow for government funds to be used for lobbying against legislation or for candidates.
It is time to retire Tom Gorman, 66 of the Rocky Mountain HIDTA. Tell our government to respect the rights of patients to use this valuable medicine, the voters spoke.

Erowid Cannabis Vault : Legal Status, U.S. LAW | Both Cannabis and Tetrahydrocannabinols, the active chemicals contained in Cannabis plants, are Schedule I in the United States. This means they are federally illegal to cultivate, buy, possess, or distribute (sell, trade or give) in all forms (cannabis plants, extracts, hash, hash oil, thc, etc) except synthetic THC (Marinol) which is Schedule III.
The federal scheduling of Cannabis was disputed in 1988 by Judge Francis Young, an administrative law judge for the DEA, who recommended that marijuana be reclassified as schedule II on the grounds that if a respectable minority of doctors endorse it, then it has a "currently accepted medical use".

Legal and medical status of cannabis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Cannabis is in Schedule IV of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, making it subject to special restrictions. Article 2 provides for the following, in reference to Schedule IV drugs:
A Party shall, if in its opinion the prevailing conditions in its country render it the most appropriate means of protecting the public health and welfare, prohibit the production, manufacture, export and import of, trade in, possession or use of any such drug except for amounts which may be necessary for medical and scientific research only, including clinical trials therewith to be conducted under or subject to the direct supervision and control of the Party.
This provision, while apparently providing for the limitation of cannabis to research purposes only, also seems to allow some latitude for nations to make their own judgments. The official Commentary on the Single Convention indicates that Parties are expected to make that judgment in good faith.

KUSH MAGAZINE HAS FRUITFUL DEBUT IN DENVER
|
The woman gracing Kush Colorado's centerfold is long-limbed and lovely, but the new magazine's real star is the marijuana plant she clutches to her breast.
Billed as the "premier cannabis lifestyle magazine," the slick glossy debuted in Colorado last month, one more sign of galloping growth in the state's medical-marijuana business.
The city of Denver has more than 300 medical-marijuana dispensaries, the highest number in the nation outside California.
The pace of growth in the industry prompted the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws to recently name Denver "America's cannabis capital." While Los Angeles has more than 1,000 dispensaries, Denver outstrips the City of Angels on a per-capita basis, with more storefronts selling pot than Starbucks shops peddling coffee.

Medical marijuana in basement lands man in jail
|
HIGHLANDS RANCH - Federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents raided a Highlands Ranch home on Friday and arrested a medical marijuana grower who was part of a 9Wants to Know story about suburban medical marijuana growing operations.
"Whether it's a small grow or a big grow, I don't think the average person realizes how close to their front door it is," Chris Bartkowicz said two weeks ago when he gave 9Wants to Know a tour of his operation.
He operated a large medical marijuana grow facility in the basement of his $637,000 Highlands Ranch home.
"I'm definitely hidden in suburbia," he said.
After 9NEWS showed a tease for a story about Bartkowicz and his operation Thursday night, DEA agents decided he needed a visit. By Friday afternoon DEA agents were at the house carrying away moving boxes and leaf-size trash bags from his home, all filled with marijuana plants.

Colorado's Green Rush: Medical marijuana -
By Jim Spellman, CNN -
December 14, 2009 |
Denver, Colorado (CNN) -- Driving down Broadway, it's easy to forget you are in the United States. Amid the antique stores, bars and fast-food joints occupying nearly every block are some of Denver's newest businesses: medical marijuana dispensaries.
The locals call this thoroughfare "Broadsterdam." As in Amsterdam, Netherlands, these businesses openly advertise their wares, often with signs depicting large green marijuana leaves.
"The American capitalist system is working," said attorney and medical marijuana advocate Rob Corry.
It's a matter of supply and demand.
"The demand has always been there," he said, "and the demand is growing daily because more doctors are willing to do this, and now businesses, entrepreneurs, mom-and-pop shops are cropping up to create a supply."
Colorado voters legalized medical marijuana in 2000. For years, patients could get small amounts from "caregivers," the term for growers and dispensers who could each supply only five patients. In 2007, a court lifted that limit and business boomed.
Between 2000 and 2008, the state issued about 2,000 medical marijuana cards to patients. That number has grown to more than 60,000 in the last year.

State Board of Health Rejects Medical Marijuana Restriction
Patients and families declare victory; hundreds of professional and patients attend hearing to testify against the proposed changes.
DENVER -- On Monday, July 20, the Colorado Board of Health voted down a series of controversial restrictions to the state's medical marijuana law. After over twelve hours of testimony and deliberation the Board voted to reject the changes which would have prohibited those who legally use medical marijuana from appointing a state-licensed caregiver who is already helping five patients and created a new definition of the role of a "caregiver" requiring such individuals to provide services beyond marijuana distribution, such as house cleaning and food preparation.
Currently, Colorado caregivers -- those legally designated to provide marijuana for a patient who is unable to produce it due to physical, financial, or other limitations -- can help any number of patients who seek their assistance, and are not required to provide services beyond medical marijuana dispensing.
The proposals were met with vast opposition from across the state, with approximately 1000 opponents attending the hearing. Hundreds testified against the changes including lawyers, doctors, care providers, veterans, and numerous health-care and religious organizations.
Approximately ten individuals-- mostly law enforcement-- testified in favor of the proposed rules.
"This is a historic victory for patients' rights and safe access to medicine," said attorney Brian Vicente, who serves as executive director of Sensible Colorado, the non-profit organization which headed opposition to the plan.
"People suffering from serious illnesses can continue to select a caregiver of their choice as they do a doctor of their choice. Colorado's sickest individuals have benefited enormously by the Board's compassionate vote."
Sensible Colorado is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a more sensible, evidence-based approach to drugs and drug policy in Colorado.

Colorado's top doctor backs pot restrictions - 07/20/09 | AP News - Colorado's chief medical officer said Monday the state's medical marijuana program will"continue to grow out of control" unless more restrictive rules are adopted. Dr. Ned Calonge testified before the state health board in support of proposed new rules that would limit marijuana providers to five patients each. Currently, a voter-approved amendment to the state constitution allows designated caregivers to grow marijuana for an unlimited number of patients. Calonge, chief medical officer for the state health department, said those rules are creating confusion and the program is susceptible to fraud.
He said large-scale marijuana growers busted by police are claiming to be medical marijuana suppliers. Calonge also said one doctor recommended that 200 people get medical marijuana cards in one day. The cards allow patients to grow their own marijuana or get it from a designated caregiver. Opponents say the limits would make it harder for patients to get medical marijuana. More than 300 people attended the hearing, and the vast majority opposed the rules.

Medical Marijuana in Colorado. | The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment offers complete information on the legal use of medical cannabis in the state of Colorado.

Colorado continues to be at the forefront of marijuana policy reform -
Last update: November 5, 2009
|
Breckenridge voters remove penalties for marijuana possession:
On November 3, 2009, more than 70% of voters in the tiny ski town of Breckenridge voted to remove city-level criminal penalties for possession of up to one ounce of marijuana for adults over 21.
While possession of any amount is still illegal under state law, the citizens of Breckenridge undoubtedly sent a message to lawmakers in Colorado—and around the country—by taking this first and necessary step toward the end of marijuana prohibition.
A strong history of marijuana policy reform:
In 2000, Colorado voters passed a constitutional amendment protecting the rights of seriously ill patients to use medical marijuana in the treatment of certain illnesses as recommended by their doctors.
In 2005, MPP grant recipient SAFER spearheaded a successful initiative in Denver that amended city ordinances to remove all penalties for private adult marijuana possession.
In 2006, 41% of voters supported SAFER's statewide initiative to make possession of up to one ounce of marijuana legal for adults 21 and older.
Progress in Denver:
Last November, 57% of Denver voters approved a ballot initiative, backed by SAFER, making adult marijuana possession the city's "lowest law enforcement priority." One month later, Mayor John Hickenlooper (D) appointed the Marijuana Policy Review Panel to implement the new law.
Last May, the panel voted to make its first official recommendation — that the Denver City Attorney's office stop prosecuting adults for marijuana possession. Click here to read an excellent editorial in the Rocky Mountain News supporting the panel's recommendation.
Statewide news:
On July 20, the Colorado Board of Health held a public hearing to consider changes to Colorado's medical marijuana law proposed by the Department of Public Health and Environment. The most notable change would have limited the number of patients a caregiver can assist to five.
However, hundreds of patients and activists showed up to oppose this unnecessary restriction and defeated the proposal. This is a huge victory that allows Colorado caregivers to continue assisting however many patients need their help, enabling patients to maintain safe access to a steady supply of medicine. You can read more about this story here.
What you can do to help ensure further progress:
Please take a few minutes to show your support for changing Colorado's marijuana laws by sending your legislators an e-mail asking them to support a system that taxes and regulates marijuana.
You may also wish to submit a letter to the editor of your local newspaper supporting the advances Colorado has made in marijuana policy reform.
If you are a law enforcement officer, judge, or attorney that supports a change in Colorado's marijuana policy, we would like to hear from you. Additionally, if you are a patient, medical professional, or clergy member, please email state@mpp.org to see how you can be of special help.
MPP financial assistance program for medical marijuana patients:
MPP will cover the cost of Colorado's medical marijuana program application fee for low-income patients. At $90 per application, Colorado's medical marijuana program is one of the most expensive in the nation.
To apply to MPP's financial assistance program, or If you wish to sponsor an applicant by donating to help cover the cost of the application, click here >>>

1. Since 1996, twelve states have legalized medical marijuana use: AK, CA, CO, HI, ME, MT, NV, NM, OR, RI, VT, and WA. Eight of the twelve did so through the initiative process. Hawaii's law was enacted by the legislature and signed by the governor in 2000, Vermont's was enacted by the legislature and passed into law without the governor's signature in May 2004, Rhode Island's was passed into law over the governor's veto in January 2006, and New Mexico's legislation was signed into law by Governor Bill Richardson on April 2, 2007.
2. The Institute of Medicine's 1999 report on medical marijuana stated, "The accumulated data indicate a potential therapeutic value for cannabinoid drugs, particularly for symptoms such as pain relief, control of nausea and vomiting, and appetite stimulation."

Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine
by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine.
The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.

Some authors refer to social topics that require discussion even within the bounds of a narrow handling of medicinal aspects.
