See below for efforts to change this. PUTTING FENCES AROUND MEDICAL MARIJUANA USE The Bill to Be Introduced, Making Maryland 15th State to Allow It, Might Be the Most Stringent in the Nation Even as a proposal to legalize medical marijuana emerges in Maryland, a backlash over the burgeoning industry has developed in other states - and is likely to influence legislation here. Last week, the Los Angeles City Council tried to rein in the growth of marijuana dispensaries, limiting the number to 70 and imposing tight restrictions on where and how they can operate. And in Colorado, towns are trying to shutter some of the hundreds of dispensaries that have popped up. But supporters of the Maryland proposal say they have learned from problems in states that approved use of the drug without uniform regulations on the dispensaries providing it. The result, they say: Maryland's measure could be among the most stringent in the nation. "I looked at a compendium of legislation from all the other states and I knew from being in California that we absolutely didn't want to do that," said Del. Dan Morhaim, a Baltimore County Democrat and a physician who plans to sponsor a bill that would make Maryland the 15th state to allow the medical use of marijuana. "From the physician-patient point of view, I wanted a bill that I would be supportive of as a doctor." Advocates and some medical experts say a growing body of research shows the drug can be an effective tool to help patients struggling with some diseases. The Maryland proposal would allow marijuana to be given to patients with a "debilitating medical condition," such as seizures, severe chronic pain or severe nausea as a result of cancer treatment. But not all physicians agree it's a good idea. Dr. Kevin Cullen, an oncologist and director of the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center, isn't sure the state needs a new law. He said he'd probably never recommend medical marijuana to cancer patients because other drugs are more effective. "It's important that the lawmakers speak to the medical community directly and assess the need for this," he said. "It may be that they're having a 'me, too' reaction to other states. I have no idea who the lobby may be for this." Unlike laws in some other states, the proposal Morhaim discussed last week would license growers and dispensaries, would allow doctors to recommend marijuana only to patients with whom they have a long-standing relationship and would control who could provide the drug to homebound patients. People would not be able to grow their own marijuana and would be limited in the amount they could buy each month as well as the ailments they could use it for. (Sen. David Brinkley, a Republican from Frederick, is the measure's sponsor in the Senate.) Morhaim, a longtime medical-marijuana supporter, said this legislative session is the right time to pursue the change. Last fall, the American Medical Association urged the federal government to downgrade its classification of marijuana from a dangerous drug with no medical use, clearing the way for more clinical research of the drug and development of cannabis-based medicines. At the same time, access to medical marijuana has been growing nationwide since the Obama administration loosened federal enforcement of the drug last fall, saying it would not prosecute users in states with medical marijuana laws. With other states legalizing medical marijuana, Maryland had an opportunity to study their successes and missteps. In crafting the measure in the House of Delegates, Morhaim, who is originally from Los Angeles, looked at that city's experience with medical marijuana as an example of what not to do. Because California's 1996 law legalizing medical marijuana did not regulate dispensaries or set up a means for distributing the drug, localities had to come up with rules on their own. While cities such as Oakland mandated regulation of dispensaries, including restrictions on where and how they can operate, Los Angeles left the question open; storefront dispensaries with on-site doctors flourished across the city. "I don't want doctors who will just write an open-ended marijuana prescription to a patient they just met," he said. "I am quite aware of the L.A. problem; it's clearly out of control." Similarly in Colorado, which has had a medical marijuana law since 2000, towns have begun trying to close dispensaries. Until last year, there were only about a dozen dispensaries statewide. Since then, hundreds have opened, serving about 40,000 patients. But the state didn't address dispensaries in the law, creating a lack of uniformity in how they operate, said Brian Vicente, co-chair of Colorado's Sensible Patient and Provider Coalition. The coalition includes medical marijuana advocacy groups, business owners, caregivers and patients who are seeking some new regulation of medical marijuana. The Colorado law said only that sick patients with a doctor's permission could possess and cultivate marijuana - or appoint a caregiver to do it for them if they were too sick or didn't have the expertise. One caregiver could handle many patients - the patients would merely have to designate the person as their caregiver. Some caregivers began opening stores, a boon to those who can't or don't want to grow their own marijuana and don't want to buy it "on the street or in an alley," he said. The Maryland proposal hopes to avoid that situation by allowing caregivers to serve only one patient, Morhaim said. Vicente said most dispensary owners are paying taxes and working to help sick people, but the coalition fears "a select handful are probably breaking some laws." In the meantime, he said, towns have reacted differently. Denver "embraced them," and has written regulations for the dispensaries. But Centennial, Colo., tried to close its dispensary and the owners sued. Maryland, he said, has an opportunity to set a statewide, even national, standard for how to deal with the medical-marijuana issue by establishing a system of uniform taxation and regulation of dispensaries - no squabbling over rules. But Vicente also warns the lawmakers not to make the rules too restrictive. The state should let patients grow marijuana, because it's cheaper than prescription medication, he said, and many patients can't afford traditional health care. Also, requiring a recommendation from a long-time doctor would be a problem for patients whose physicians fear federal prosecution or just won't write a referral. Maryland lawmakers suggest having growers be licensed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Department of Agriculture, which would charge a licensing fee. Growers would have to submit to regular testing and monitoring. "If you're going to have people use this, you have to make sure it's a safe and secure unadulterated supply. Grow-your-own approach opens the door to all kinds of misuses," Morhaim said. Meanwhile, doctors disagree over whether marijuana is even helpful for their patients, and whether they would prescribe it. Cullen, the UM cancer specialist, said marijuana is a carcinogen, and when you're treating people with cancer you don't want to expose them to more carcinogens. He also said marijuana is used as an anti-nausea medicine, but newer medicines developed in the past 10 years are better. And, finally, the active ingredient in marijuana has been made available as a pill, called Marinol, for those with chemotherapy induced nausea. "It's rarely used because it doesn't work as well as newer medications," he said. "And most patients don't like the feeling they get from Marinol on top of chemotherapy." Cullen said he's "fairly agnostic" on medical marijuana for other purposes, but for cancer it's not a useful drug. Dr. Steven P. Cohen, a pain specialist and an associate professor of anesthesiology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, said he would recommend marijuana to patients, but only after other therapies had failed. He'd make sure patients were responsible, compliant and informed about the risks of the drug and would agree to routine monitoring. Marijuana, and the class of marijuana-like drugs called cannabinoids, can be effective treatment for people with central nervous system pain, such as those with multiple sclerosis and stroke, said Cohen. "For these patients, it would be great; these things are notoriously hard to treat." But there's no research on the long-term effects of the drug and few can justify using it as a first-line treatment, he said. "Some studies have shown efficacy in the short-term, like six weeks or two months, but what happens after a year?" he said. "Especially if you smoke, you have questions about motivation, memory problems, there may be risks for cancer, bronchitis, lung disease and emphysema." Still, because treating pain is so complicated and few drugs offer long-term relief, Cohen doesn't see a problem with adding marijuana as another tool to help patients. "People die from opioids, I see it all the time," he said. "They are probably inherently more dangerous than cannabinoids and they are used all the time for chronic pain. So why wouldn't you use cannabinoids?" Authors: Kelly Brewington and Meredith Cohn Pubdate: Sun, 31 Jan 2010 Source: Baltimore Sun (MD) NewsHawk: R. Keith Stroup, Esq., NORML Legal Counsel MARYLAND'S MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAW IS BROKEN! It's True. Medical marijuana patients are treated like criminals in Maryland. They can still be arrested, prosecuted, and convicted - even if they possess a doctor's recommendation. Marylanders who suffer from serious or chronic disease deserve a law that works. Support access to an effective medicine and real protections for patients. We are not criminals. We ­are mothers, fathers, sisters, employees, and business owners. We take care of our families, we pay taxes, and we vote. Help us fix Maryland's medical marijuana law. ASA MoCo Chapter History Since 2007, ASA chapters in MD have hosted numerous meetings, provided trainings and teach-ins across the state, organized art parties, and created a public presence by attending street festivals in Bethesda, Wheaton, Fell’s Point, and outside the M&T Bank Stadium during the Baltimore Ravens’ home games – all to spread awareness about medical cannabis and to recruit new members. The chapters worked with the Drug Policy Alliance to promote the Maryland Patients for Access campaign, designed to build grassroots support and identify potential leadership for upcoming reform efforts. In addition to public awareness sessions, the ASA chapters have hosted spokesperson and media trainings, making Marylanders better informed about of the vulnerabilities that patient’s face and how to navigate law enforcement encounters. ASA MARYLAND EVENTS | HB 1339 Introduced - Call your State Delegates! Delegate Henry Heller (D-Montgomery County) introduced legislation, HB 1339, that creates a task force to study the issues related to medical marijuana throughout the state of Maryland.

Current Law SUMMARY: The "Darrell Putman" Bill -- Resolution #0756-2003 -- Approved in the state senate by a vote of 29-17. Signed into law by Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. on May 22, 2003 Effective: Oct. 1, 2003 | Maryland's legislature passed a medical marijuana affirmative defense law in 2003. The law allows defendents being prosecuted for the use or possession of marijuana to introduce evidence of medical necessity and physician approval, to be considered by the court as a mitigating factor. This law requires the court to consider a defendant's use of medical marijuana to be a mitigating factor in marijuana-related state prosecution. If the patient, post-arrest, successfully makes the case at trial that his or her use of marijuana is one of medical necessity, then the maximum penalty allowed by law would be a $100 fine. The law, however, does not protect users of medical marijuana from arrest or establish a registry program, or allowing growing, etc.   See - Senate Bill 502 (PDF 72 KB), MEDICAL MARIJUANA STATUTES: Maryland Darnell Putman Compassionate Use Act, §5-601(3)(II) (2003).

Each of the cases involved a seriously ill patient - including one who is a founding member of the local chapter of Americans for Safe Access -- who received $100 fines and misdemeanor convictions after demonstrating that their doctors had recommended cannabis for their conditions. "ASA-Maryland is more committed than ever to changing our state's medical marijuana law," said Tony Bowles, the chapter's spokesperson. "We should not be wasting the limited resources of the state on multi-day trials that result in a simple $100 fine. The law should provide better protection for patients and direction for law enforcement." In the unrelated cases, each patient had been charged with felony possession with intent to distribute. Maryland law still classifies medical use of marijuana as a criminal offense, but limits the punishment to misdemeanor possession with a fine of $100. One case involved a woman who uses cannabis to control her epilepsy, the other a man who suffers from a condition that causes episodes of severe vomiting that require hospitalization. The woman's attorney told reporters that he was unaware of Maryland's medical marijuana law prior to taking the case, but nonetheless successfully argued in court that she should be covered by presenting medical studies showing that epilepsy can be controlled with cannabis. In the other case, the judge refused to allow a medical necessity defense or any mention of the patient's condition at trial, though the cannabis seized by police was clearly labeled "For Medicinal Use Only," and the man has written recommendations from two physicians, including to a gastro-intestinal specialist who noted that no other medication is effective. That medical evidence was allowed at a sentencing hearing, and ASA's Director of Government Affairs, Caren Woodson, also testified to his long-standing activism as a medical cannabis patient. "ASA is happy that patients and defense attorneys are able to get reduced sentences in Maryland," said Woodson. "But no one who uses cannabis in accordance with a physician's recommendation should be treated as a criminal by law enforcement or subjected to fines or any other penalties."

Since Maryland only provides an affirmative defense in court for medical marijuana patients, there is no real process for becoming a patient other than receiving a valid doctor's recommendation. Therefore, there is no registration fee, identification card, or list of eligible medical conditions provided. Additionally, Maryland's medical marijuana law does not state what is considered to be valid written documentation to prove eligibility, or how to find a physician to recommend medical marijuana.

News (INF) from MarijuanaNews.Com, where Freedom has nothing to fear from the truth. “Of course, as often as not, the police have such a strangle hold on the politicians that they still end up doing the wrong thing, or as in Maryland, a parody of the right thing. It would appear that Maryland is about to enact a “medical cannabis” bill, which demonstrates that the quality of mercy is not merely strained, it is severely herniated. Patients will be subject only to a fine of $100! Whoopdee do! The line for groveling starts on the right. I do not mean to belittle in any way the hard work of the people who managed to squeeze even this little blood from the stone hearts of the appalling people who govern us, but how can anyone vote for a fine for a sick person using a plant? If they really need the plant, that is cruel, and if they don’t need it, then why do anything? There is at least one good thing about the bill, however.

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". Visit: http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_law.shtml See Contacts section, below, for Organizations and other Resources for Legal Help.   International Law, LEGAL Resources   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.

In 2003, Gov. Robert Ehrlich (R) signed the Darrell Putman Compassionate Use Act into law. It protects seriously ill patients from being sentenced to prison for possessing marijuana if they can prove a "medical necessity" for using it. However, it does not protect them from arrest, and it does not provide them with safe access to their medicine (such as by cultivation). Although the law does not protect medical marijuana patients from harassment, arrest, and trial, the bill was a step in the right direction: The maximum penalty for patients who prove "medical necessity" for possessing medical marijuana or paraphernalia is now a $100 fine. Recent legislative history. This year, Delegate Henry Heller (D-Montgomery County), working with our ally Americans for Safe Access, introduced H.B. 1339, which would create a task force to collect data and make recommendations about Maryland's medical marijuana law. This task force would have evaluated whether the current state law is effective, fair, and equally enforced across all state jurisdictions, recommend whether purchasing marijuana with a recommendation from a health care provider should be included in the law, and study the feasibility of having the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the University of Maryland School of Medicine establish research programs to study the medical and social issues relating to the therapeutic use of marijuana. H.B. 1339 received a hearing in the House Judiciary Committee. However, committee Chairman Joseph Vallario (D-Calvert and Prince George's Counties) refused to schedule the bill for a vote and it died in committee. Similarly, in 2007, the General Assembly considered legislation that would have significantly improved Maryland's current medical marijuana law. Delegate Vallario also refused to schedule that bill for a vote. When Maryland's medical marijuana was introduced, it allowed for safe access to medical marijuana and did not burden patients with a trial and fine. However, the bill was dramatically revised to its current form in Delegate Vallario's committee. Vallario has been a consistent obstacle to Maryland's medical marijuana patients having full protection of the law and safe access to their medicine. Contact your legislators! Rest assured that the champions of this legislation are strategizing for other options to ensure its passage in the near future. Please send a letter of support to your legislators. You may also visit this page to find out who your elected state officials are and their contact information, and then call or write them. Please remember to always be polite but firm in your support for an improvement to the medical marijuana law.   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/maryland/ Maryland (MD) MJ News Feed, by NORML.  Latest news and more for Maryland, by NORML - the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.   Patients Continue Legal Fight for Medical Marijuana Silver Spring Gazette Medical Marijuana Finds A Mellow Audience In MD Washington Post Edu: The Blunt Reality Of 420   ... and more.   Visit - http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=4542&wtm_view=news.

The Maryland House of Delegates passed a similar measure last week. Maryland thus becomes the second state to reform its medical marijuana laws through the legislative process. Hawaii did so in 2000.

Professionally, I have studied the science of marijuana and its compounds as therapeutic agents since 1995. I have done this both as NORML's research director and also as a research consultant for London's GW Pharmaceuticals - the only company legally licensed in the world to grow medical marijuana and perform human patient trials on various preparations of sublingual cannabis extracts.

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.
