In the News

Ohio, News - Ohio medical marijuana law now in effect Ohio medical marijuana law now in effect | The Ohio Legislature’s medical marijuana law went into effect on September 8, 2016, bringing important but limited new protections for patients. The date also kicks off the formal rule-making process for agencies involved in the program, followed by the roll out of the formal system in late 2017 or the following year. Only then will patients have safe, regulated access to medical cannabis and complete legal protections. With the law now in effect, patients may qualify for a provision of the new law called the affirmative defense. While it does not provide access to medical marijuana, it does provide a legal defense to a citation for marijuana possession, if the patient meets several important requirements. Most notably, a patient must have a written statement from a physician. For a more detailed look at the affirmative defense, what it includes, and how it applies in Ohio, click here.   >>   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/ohio/ <<

Apparently Ohio State – and college football in general – isn’t very popular in the state of Tennessee.

Ohio, News - Apparently Ohio State – and college football in general – isn’t very popular in the state of Tennessee At least not with the police. Ohio State Buckeyes helmet

Bonnie Jonas-Boggioni, 65, and her husband were driving home to Plano, Texas from Columbus after attending her mother-in-law’s funeral when a pair of black police SUV’s stopped the couple a few miles outside of Memphis.

“Knowing I wasn’t speeding, I couldn’t imagine why,” Jonas-Boggioni told the Columbus Dispatch. “They were very serious. They had the body armor and the guns.”

On the back of Jonas-Boggioni’s car was a Buckeye leaf decal, similar to the one players’ have on their helmets, and cops mistakenly thought it was marijuana leaf.

Yes, really.

“What are you doing with a marijuana sticker on your bumper?” one of the cops asked Jonas-Boggioni.

After trying to explain that the sticker was not a marijuana leaf and that she and her husband were not trafficking drugs cross-country, the police advised Jonas-Boggioni to remove the sticker as to not cause any more confusion.

[Jonas-Boggioni] was too rattled to notice what police department the officers represented. But she suspects that a joint drug-interdiction effort was under way because they had passed several law-enforcement vehicles from different agencies.

Neither the Tennessee Highway Patrol nor the Shelby County sheriff’s office in Memphis had information about the traffic stop. A marijuana sticker would not be a sufficient reason to stop a car, said a spokeswoman for the West Tennessee Drug Task Force.

As for Jonas-Boggioni, she acknowledged the cop’s wishes, but got back in her car without removing the sticker.

“I didn’t take it off,” Jonas-Boggioni told the paper. “This little old lady is no drug dealer.” Just an avid Ohio State fan. Click on link for the rest of the story and to comment >> here

    Action in Ohio

    Ohio, activism - Miami Valley NORML I had an opportunity to talk to a number of local and national Republicans at our county party annual pancake breakfast. The elected officials included Senator Rand Paul, Congressman Wenstrup and local judges, mayors, party officers, county commissioners and candidates. I had a few hundred of a small handout titled “It is time for Republicans to know Marijuana Facts ” I gave to the attendees after targeting the elected republicans. See > here < for the 1st FACT of the 5 on the sheet. It is an awesome Ohio fact. On the back side there was five questions geared to asking elected representatives. You can see the full handout > here < It was a very rewarding experience and had some very surprising supportive conversations. It is really is time for Republicans to know Marijuana Facts. If anyone wants to adapt the handout for their state please ask and I will send you the original file in a PowerPoint PPT format.

    ACTION; Get involved in the movement for safe and legal access to medical cannabis today. Our power comes from our collective action. Whether it's calling Congress, attending rallies, organizing a local activity or chapter, signing an online petition, or supporting federal defendants, take action today!   There are a number of medical cannabis (marijuana) bills in play in states across the US.   Here we network on Ways and Means anyone can help with the effort to make each a medical marijuana state. We need to get the word out and people contacting reps and officials and get this legislation into law. Also, lets not forget efforts at the Federal level.

    South Dakota - Action, Medical Marijuana Patients NETWORK and Spread The Word, both On-Line and Off (!)   ON-LINE, You can tell everybody in cyber-space by e-mailing a link to this website to them and/or (OFF-LINE> printing off the info and handing out where possible / necessary. Also phone call and read off and/or visit and hand deliver the info. You can take literature with you and approach businesses, organizations and even people on the street while you're out and about. Wear your pot-leaf shirt and register voters, as feasible. Gather signatures for any related petitions that are happening at the time as well.

    This is a chain e-mail you can't refuse. Unlike most, this will actually help you - and a whole buncha others - just by passing it on. Cannabis consumer or not - from the folks just trying to take care of themselves or a loved one to those who simply see the expensive, immoral waste of making war on the sick and dying - everyone is affected by this issue.

    To accomplish this you need to first click on the following links and send a message to all the reps and media you can on the issue. Then get everybody else to do the same. And follow up.

    To do this you need to tell everybody you know. And can confide in. Then/or anonymously tell everybody you don't know - or can't confide in. Yet.

    Tell everybody else by Letters-to-the-Editor, displaying signage at street corners and over-passes (wear trenchcoat, fedora and sunglasses if afraid of exposure), and/or anonymously leaving literature and posting on-line at places where people are likely to find it. Coffeeshops are good places to leave printed material and you can go to the websites of the local newspapers to post items as well. More ideas and supporting tools via the links below.

      Ohio - Resource, Contacts; local Bowling Green | Legislation: Possession of less than 100 grams of marijuana is a citable offense only, with a fine of $100. Possession of 100 grams or more is punishable by a fine of up to $250. For possession of 200 grams or more, the penalty increases to a possible sentence of 6 months – one year in jail. Possession of 1,000 grams or more is punishable by 1 – 5 years in prison. Any possession of less than 5,000 grams does not carry the presumption of prison, which leaves available the possibility of probation. Possession of 5,000 grams of marijuana or more is punishable by 1 – 5 years in prison. For any amount or 20,000 grams or more the penalty increases to a mandatory minimum sentence of eight years in prison. More information: >> Visit > webehigh.org/bowling-green-ohio/

      Ohio - Resource, Contacts; local Cincinnati | In the city of Cincinnati they recently passed a law that requires an arrest and up to 30 days for posession. In the rest of Ohio it is just a ticket. There is a sunset date sometime next year. “March 29, 2007 – Cincinnati, OH: Members of the Cincinnati City Council voted 7-2 this week to make a provisional ordinance criminalizing minor marijuana possession offenses “indefinite,” despite the law’s apparent failure to show a demonstrable reduction in serious crime or so-called ‘drug tourism.’ The municipal ordinance, initially passed by the Council in March 2006, was slated to expire this week. Under the ordinance, marijuana offenders in Cincinnati face up to 30 days in jail, a $250 fine, and a criminal record for possessing small quantities of the drug. By contrast, under state law, possession of up to 100 grams of marijuana is punishable by a $100 citation and no jail time.” The rest of Ohio is unaffected. More information: >> Visit > webehigh.org/cincinnati-ohio/

      Ohio - Resource, Contacts; local Cleveland | Penalty: * If violated, a mandatory jail term of three consecutive days (seventy-two consecutive hours.) The court may sentence an offender to both an intervention program and a jail term. The court may impose a jail term in addition to the three-day mandatory jail term or intervention program. However, in no case shall the cumulative jail term imposed for the offense exceed six months. * The court may suspend the execution of the three-day jail term under this division if the court, in lieu of that suspended term, places the offender under a community control sanction and requires the offender to attend, for three consecutive days, a drivers\’ intervention program. * License may be suspended from a definite period of six months to three years.”

      Law enforcement: Cops usually don’t do a search unless they smell it. Besides that there isn’t much surveillance, except at the stroudsburg mall. Stay away from there. another reporter added: “if you’re under 30 cops WILL search you” and:”The cops in Cleveland are mostly cool for the non-dealing smoker. mostly will just take the bud and send you away. most cleveland cops smoke weed thats why they take it.” and also: “Depending on your attitude you can get anything from a citation to having the cops make you crush it. If you dont have identification on you then you can go to jail even if you only have a dime bag.”

      Where to buy marijuana: in Cleveland: In e. cleveland, near hough and e. 105st. just be cool and ask anybody that’s standing around. if you’re looking for kind bud you’d have to have connects. Just Keep in mind that east Cleveland is quite dangerous, so you may want to consider another spot. More information: >> Visit > webehigh.org/cleveland-ohio/

      Ohio - Resource, Contacts; local Columbus | Legislation: In the state of Ohio, possession of up to 100 grams of marijuana is punishable only by a civil citation and a $100 fine — you can not be arrested for simple marijuana possession Ohio recently (2-3 months ago) passed a law which allows officers to administer drug tests during a traffic stop if they “suspect” intoxication. this legislation also created a “prohibitive level” of marijuana in your system making it possible for you to get a dui if youve smoked recently at all. so while i really love columbus, if youre gonna get high there…. walk or take a cab. Ohio almost decriminalized personal use of reasonable amounts, except “Possession of paraphernalia is punishable by up to 30 days in jail and sale of paraphernalia is punishable by up to 90 days in jail.

      For all drug convictions, including minor misdemeanors, the offender’s driver’s license is also suspended for a period of 6 months – 5 years. Professional licenses are also suspended.” source: NORML.com You can read this PDF detailing the serious consequences they add on to the supposedly “minor misdemeanors” http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/pdf/col_sanc_pdfs/state_details_pdfs/OHIO.pdf “Under Ohio’s law, motorists with detectable levels of THC in the blood above 2 ng/ml or detectable levels of THC-COOH in the urine above 15 ng/ml are guilty of DUID. (Ohio Revised Code Annotated Section 4511.19, Amended by Senate Bill 8)

      Law enforcement: If you smoke openly, you’ll get busted. Although Ohio is one of the easiest states on marijuana smokers, this is still America… That being said, it is not unheard of for a nice officer to confiscate your stash (if it’s small enough) and send you “home”. While it’s technically arrestable to possess drug paraphernalia, it is usually dealt with the same way as pot – with a simple ticket. Where to buy marijuana: High Street (appropriately named) runs through the center of the Ohio State University campus, and has lots of headshops. The campus area usually has sellers walking around (they look like bums), but look out for cops. More information: >> Visit > webehigh.org/columbus-ohio/

      Ohio - Resource, Contacts; local Dayton | Law enforcement: Cops are too bad here but be cool. A Crack pipe will get you in the slammer, but a pot pipe probably won’t. We’ve had so many problems with crack heads that nobody wants to do anything but get rid of em here. Pot’s been in Dayton a long time and pretty much it’s cool, but it’s still The USofA and the law is what it is. Where to buy marijuana: Probably around the Oregon District or around The University of Dayton area. Marijuana prices: When there’s a meeting of the minds and consideration is passed.. that’s what it sold for!

      More information: Stick the joint in a straw and shotgun a glass full… careful cause it’ll waft out. Put your hand on the glass and turn it upside down and watch the smoke flow like water. Slowly bring it to rest on your upper lip, tilt it back but don’t start to inhale through your nose until the smoke hits your nose. Then ya gotta get it ALL or it’ll rip out your adenoids! Just do it… the first time is always the scariest. Hold the smoke… hold it, hold it, then slowly blow it out… you should see no smoke come out of your lungs. Now Sit back.. about 30 seconds… stoned! Welcome to the club! >> Visit > webehigh.org/dayton-ohio/

      Ohio - Resource, Contacts; local Kent | Legislation: Possession of less than 100 grams of marijuana is a citable offense only, with a fine of $100. Possession of 100 grams or more is punishable by a fine of up to $250. Ohio almost decriminalized personal use of reasonable amounts, except “Possession of paraphernalia is punishable by up to 30 days in jail and sale of paraphernalia is punishable by up to 90 days in jail. For all drug convictions, including minor misdemeanors, the offender’s driver’s license is also suspended for a period of 6 months – 5 years. Professional licenses are also suspended.” source: NORML.com You can read this PDF detailing the serious consequences they add on to the supposedly “minor misdemeanors” >> Learn more >> Law enforcement: Kent Police are ridiculous about marijuana. They’re busting people every day and do a lot of undercover buys. Only buy from those you know, and only sell to those you know. Where to buy marijuana: Decatur St. in Downtown Marijuana prices: $110 oz Marijuana brands: nothing specific, dro, kind bud. More information: If you’re just smoking on your own and aren’t dumb about it you’ll be fine. >> Visit > webehigh.org/kebt-ohio/

      Ohio - Resource, Contacts; local Toledo | Law enforcement: As long as you’re not acting the fool, the 5-o will not mess with you. Where to buy marijuana: You can score some chronic at howards carry-out on monroe and upton. Upton is also a good street to cruise for some bleezmos. The bars around the university are also a good place to try and score some bud. The Weiler Homes are a great place to try if your on the east-side of the river. another reporter added: “A good place to allocate weed is at the Orchard Inn, it is a seedy bar on the West Side of town, exercise extreme caution when dealing with the bars patrons as they are often gypsies, who may attempt to rip you off!” and also: “amazing for this kind of bud prices are pretty good $20 for an eighth $25 for a quarter and so on but theres also people with a little bit better quality of bud an eighth is only $20 but a quarter is $40 and so on” and our latest report is: “Indiana Ave., City Park (Park @ Nebraska & City Park Ave.), Junction Blvd., Lagrange Ave., Hawley Street., Smith Park (Dorr & Forest)”

      Marijuana prices: $20-30 an 1/8 $40-50 a 1/4 $80-100 1/2 $140-180 1 ounce-anything from sum good homegrown to some of the best hydroponics u ever smoked. Marijuana brands: funk-schwag-super funk More information: Always buy the bomb blunts from the carry-outs and buy the cool t-shirts thier selling. >> Visit > webehigh.org/toledo-ohio/

      Ohio - Resource, Contacts; local Youngstown | Law enforcement: Cops mostly have bigger things to worry about than weed. If you smoke while driving, make sure not to be obvious and dont speed. Not a lot of undercover activity unless you get into the city or the malls. Where to buy marijuana: Mill Creek park (the flats, bears den), Boardman Park (walk around on trails, ask people who look like stoners). If you aren’t white, you can get more into the city around public housing. Southern Park mall, and Eastwood mall are also good places, just watch out for mall security and the occasional undercover. Marijuana prices: $35-40 a 1/4 for some alright mids, $75-100 for a half of mids $175+ an O for mids. If you know the right people, you can get an O of high mids for $100-125. Strains are usually more, but not much, prices are fairly cheap here.

      Marijuana brands: Orange Kush, Diesel, Cali bud- come in every so often, almost impossible to just get off the street, however. More information: If you\’re white, go to a park or a suburb; if not, go downtown ask around public housing. >> Visit > webehigh.org/youngstown-ohio/

    Places that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States Places that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Multiple places have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States; however, cannabis is illegal under federal law. Gonzales v. Raich (2005) held in a 6-3 decision that the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution allowed the federal government to ban the use of cannabis, including medical use even if local laws allow it. Most places that have decriminalized cannabis have civil fines, drug education, or drug treatment in place of incarceration and/or criminal charges for possession of small amounts of cannabis, or have made various cannabis offenses the lowest priority for law enforcement.

    Ohio, News - Ohio medical marijuana law now in effect Ohio medical marijuana law now in effect - Last update: September 9, 2016 | The Ohio Legislature’s medical marijuana law went into effect on September 8, 2016, bringing important but limited new protections for patients. The date also kicks off the formal rule-making process for agencies involved in the program, followed by the roll out of the formal system in late 2017 or the following year. Only then will patients have safe, regulated access to medical cannabis and complete legal protections. With the law now in effect, patients may qualify for a provision of the new law called the affirmative defense. While it does not provide access to medical marijuana, it does provide a legal defense to a citation for marijuana possession, if the patient meets several important requirements. Most notably, a patient must have a written statement from a physician. For a more detailed look at the affirmative defense, what it includes, and how it applies in Ohio, click here.   >>   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/ohio/ <<

    September 8 was the first step in a long process, and MPP and Ohioans for Medical Marijuana are watching that process closely. Many important policy decisions that will directly affect the success or failure of the system are yet to be made, so stay tuned as the process unfolds. Be sure to subscribe to our Ohio alerts for information and ways to make your voice heard on particular issues.   >>   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/ohio/ <<

    Marijuana laws in Ohio | Possession of less than 100 grams (or about 3.5 ounces), giving 20 grams or less of marijuana to another person, or growing less than 100 grams of marijuana are each considered “minor misdemeanors,” punishable by a maximum fine of $150. A minor misdemeanor is not a “jailable” offense, but a person’s driver’s license can be suspended for a period ranging from six months to five years. While Ohio’s marijuana penalties are less draconian than its neighbors, law enforcement officers are still wasting valuable time and resources. In 2012, Ohio officers arrested or cited 14,374 people for marijuana-related offenses, 94% of which were for possession only. At the same time, 91.6% of all reported burglaries — including home invasions — and 90% of all motor vehicle thefts went unsolved. Let your legislators know it’s time law enforcement stopped wasting time punishing adults for choosing a safer alternative to alcohol.

    Ohio - Medical Cannabis, Testimony Ohio Marijuana Legalization Initiative (2015) | Contents | An Ohio Marijuana Legalization Initiative may appear on the November 3, 2015 ballot in Ohio as an initiated constitutional amendment. The measure, upon voter approval, would legalize the recreational and medical use of marijuana for persons who are 21 years of age or older. The use of medical marijuana would require a doctor's note. According to Lydia Bolander, spokesperson for the group seeking the initiative's certification, the initiative would "regulate, tax and treat marijuana like alcohol" and establish a Marijuana Control Commission. Residents of the state would be permitted to open pot-related "manufacturing plants, retail stores and medical dispensaries." Additionally, the amendment would permit 10 grower-sellers in the state. Background | Under this initiative, just 10 locations in the state would be allowed to produce marijuana, leading some to claim that a monopoly is being established. Three proposed marijuana farms would be in Cincinnati, and one would be located just north in Montgomery County. According to reports, "the farms would likely include structures that would allow cannabis to be grown indoors and therefore year-round." >> Learn more >>


    Ohio - Medical Cannabis, Testimony Ohio: Attorney General Looking At Drafting His Own Medical Marijuana Proposal | Things are getting crazy in Ohio. One recreational marijuana legalization proposal, which appears headed for the ballot, would hand over control of all growing in the state to just 10 companies. And now Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has said he has staff looking into a medical marijuana proposal which they'd draft themselves.

    Ohio: Group Close To Getting Legalization On Ballot; Accused Of Sabotaging Grassroots Effort | The group ResponsibleOhio claims it is more than halfway towards its goal of getting marijuana legalization on the state ballot. But advocates trying to put a rival initiative on the November 5 ballot have accused founders of the well-financed ResponsibleOhio of sabotaging its smaller, weaker competitor last year before launching its own effort.

    Ohio - Marijuana (cannabis) News, 2014: Will Ohio legalize marijuana this year? Will Ohio legalize marijuana this year? (2014) | In 2003, Rob Ryan got cancer – the second of his three battles against the disease. This time, it was in his colon. The chemotherapy was wreaking havoc in his body. He wasn't eating. Medicines his doctor prescribed didn't stem his nausea. He was allergic to the opiates he received. Ryan, of Blue Ash, was wasting away. "So I said, 'Forget this,' and I started to use marijuana. It worked," Ryan told The Enquirer. He smoked in an upstairs bathroom. Soon, even his wife was convinced. That was all illegal. But an overwhelming majority of Ohio voters believe that should change: Eighty-seven percent of Ohio voters believe medical marijuana use under the care of a doctor should be legal, according to a poll released last week. >> visit > www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2014/03/05/will-ohio-legalize-marijuana-this-year/6104687/


    [EDs Note: The following story highlights a common technique used by The Status Quo, IE: those in power, with unlimited tax dollars at their disposal, to bleed groups challenging the status quo by challenging their efforts in court. It can take thousands of dollars to fight arbitrary and capricious decisions by authority figures, with the power of the state behind them. It is up to the good folks of Ohio to de-elect and otherwise dis-empower this people-hating prohibitionist and all other Special Interest serving creatures like it in the state.]

    Proposed medical marijuana amendment rejected

    A proposed constitutional amendment to legalize medical marijuana in Ohio was rejected today by Attorney General Mike DeWine. DeWine turned down petitioners for the End Ohio Cannabis Prohibition Act of 2012, citing four reasons why the submitted summary was not “fair and truthful” as required by state law.

    The petition was submitted Aug. 2 by three Ohio residents, including Tonya Davis, of Kettering, a suburb of Dayton, who has been involved in several previous medical marijuana issues. Proponents submitted 2,034 signatures of registered Ohio voters, more than double the 1,000 required. DeWine said the submitted ballot summary “omits references to amendment language which repudiates federal cannabis prohibitions” and language saying “persons cannot be considered to be under the influence of cannabis ‘solely because of the presence of metabolites or components of cannabis in his or her body.’ ”

    He also faulted the summary because it says education will be provided about the “medical harms or benefits from the personal use of cannabis products,” when in fact the full amendment includes no such provision. Finally, DeWine said the summary did not reference language in the body of the amendment saying that Departments of Agriculture and Commerce would be responsible for overseeing the program.

    Three other medical marijuana issues, including one proposing legalization of growing hemp, have been approved by state officials, but do not appear likely to be before Ohio voters at an election anytime in the near future. The deadline for this November’s election already has passed.   More on the story >> here


    Ohio - Medical Cannabis, Testimony Subject: I have to say goodbye to a friend and worry about another life - Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 3:12 PM | This is not a good day for me. A friend of mine, who was really sick, because she was prescribed strong pharmaceuticals and she drank alcohol and became an alcoholic (which is legal).... She is dead! She was one of those that would not break the law. She would not attempt growing or smoke a lot of it until she could do so legally. She was proud of me and approved of what I was doing to change these bad laws that have taken from me and her family. Judy, I love you and your death will not be in vain.

    She would still be alive if the Ohio Medical Compassion Act had been passed here in Ohio. Why? Because Marijuana has never killed anyone.

    Susan Stevens--I am so scared for! Her life is on the line. She is 62, has never been in trouble before, and made the decision to take her health care into her own hands. She knew it wasn't exactly legal, but she never dreamed she would be in as much trouble as she is. Please don't let this woman (grandmother) from Mansfield be punished like another patient, Randy Brush, who in 11 months time cost Ohio taxpayers over $250,000! He received a sentence of 3 years for growing 4 plants and a 5k fine and 5 years supervised probation. They snuck him out of prison because he almost died while under state care. He did not need to almost lose his life. The prison system was not prepared for someone so sick. He did lose his freedom and family ALL because he took his healthcare into his own hands.

    Arresting patients that use cannabis makes no sense with the over crowding of the Ohio prison system. Look at what you save by not arresting, prosecuting, and incarcerating sick folks who are just using personal use/ choice.

    Look at what we are willing to do: We are willing to be in a database, be known by law enforcement, carry a card that says we use it, and allow the state to supervise us all because we want to live, not die. We even eliminated dispensaries and store fronts so greed wouldn't come to Ohio.

    Please know my life is in your hands, Dawn's life is in your hands, Randy, Susan, Eleanor--the list goes on and on of names I could add to this.

    Susan's life/ freedom is in your hands. At the very least, allow her to tell a judge and jury why she broke a bad law and what she uses it for.

    Please end this in Ohio. Please help us be able to live with dignity and some mental capacity. Oxycontin and morphine would make me die a slow death.

    If I go to Assisted Living because I cannot use cannabis and have to use narcotics, I won't be able to care for myself. So, Ohio taxpayers will pay for my care. This is so wasteful of Ohio's money and is crazy. When we can allow the use of cannabis as a medicine, we can be independent, saving the taxpayers money. Sponsor or co-sponsor the Ohio Medical Compassion ACT. Use Compassion not politics...

    Ohio - News, Former Drug Free America Director Endorses Medical Marijuana Former Drug Free America Director Endorses Medical Marijuana - Sunday, 29 March 2009 | David E. Krahl, former Deputy Director of Drug Free America Foundation, has endorsed medical marijuana this week (March 26th 2009). “Being away from the Drug Free America Foundation allowed me an opportunity to take a fresh look at the issue,” Krahl said. Krahl, a graduate of the University of Akron, now teaches courses in criminal justice. Below is an article he wrote for Medical Marijuana Therapeutics/Research.

    Ushering in a new level of optimism in Washington, DC and around the country, the Obama Administration recently signaled a sea change in drug enforcement policy. Last month, Attorney General Eric Holder affirmed an earlier commitment by the President to end federal raids on medical marijuana dispensaries. Despite the country’s woes, from a worsening economy to a war on several fronts, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has found the time, energy, and resources to continue its nonsensical effort to undermine the duly enacted medical marijuana laws of California and other states. That was, until the Attorney General announced a new approach to the failed war on medical marijuana.

    Contrary to scientific opinion, the U.S. government still posits that marijuana has no medical value. Not only has the government used this position to harmfully intrude in the lives of our most vulnerable citizens, it has done so with scorn for the voters and legislatures that enacted state medical marijuana laws. Even though the White House had earlier indicated its intent to end federal raids in medical marijuana states, the yet still-seated Bush Administration officials continued a policy of rabid enforcement based on expediency. For example, even after President Obama took office on January 20, six licensed medical marijuana dispensaries were raided by the DEA.

    There was a point in my professional career as Deputy Director of the Drug Free America Foundation when I supported the prohibition of marijuana as medicine. But then, I experienced a change of heart, if you will; a moment of clarity, an epiphany. After seriously investigating the issue, and getting beyond the rhetorical arguments of both sides, I began to realize that the prohibitionist viewpoint against the use of marijuana as medicine largely ignored three things, which are so embedded in the fabric of American society and reflective of our cultural values that their truth is almost self-evident.

    See the remainder of this article in OpposingViews where you can comment and see the opposing viewpoint by Barrett Duke. Barrett Duke is Vice President for public policy and research for the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.

    Ohio - Legal Resources Medical Marijuana Pushed In Ohio - Tuesday, May 12, 2009 6:28 AM | COLUMBUS, Ohio — Supporters of the use of marijuana for medical purposes in Ohio are headed back to the Statehouse armed with two new pieces of ammunition: recent legalization in neighboring Michigan and poll results showing a majority of Ohioans would favor the same in their state.

    Ed Orlett, Ohio representative for the Drug Policy Alliance, said Monday that even he was surprised when last week's Ohio Poll out of the University of Cincinnati showed such strong support for legalizing medical marijuana.

    "It adds legitimacy to it here in Ohio," Orlett said. "Politicians usually tell us, 'If I do this, I'm going to get killed politically.' Well, apparently not, if you look at this."

    The poll found 73 percent of residents favor allowing doctors to prescribe marijuana for medical reasons, including majorities in every demographic group from age, race and religion to political party. The survey was taken by phone from April 16 to April 27 and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points. Click > here < for more.

    Ohio, News - Ohio Lawmaker Introduces Medical-Marijuana Bill Ohio Lawmaker Introduces Medical-Marijuana Bill - May 22, 2008 | Use of marijuana for medical purposes would be decriminalized in Ohio under a measure introduced this week by a state lawmaker, the Mount Vernon News reported May 21. The measure introduced by state Sen. Tom Roberts (D-Dayton) would "allow patients to use medicinal cannabis through a regulated system of quality health care," he said. The bill calls for the state departments of health and agriculture to establish a medical-marijuana regulatory board, establishes a cardholder system for medical-marijuana users, and restricts the drug to patients who have debilitating conditions. Medical-marijuana patients would be allowed to possess up to 200 grams of marijuana and 12 mature plants for personal use. Ohio Medical Marijuana Proponents Eye Mich.

The nonprofit Drug Policy Alliance, which backed an unsuccessful 2002 Ohio constitutional amendment to require treatment instead of imprisonment for nonviolent drug offenders, is watching Michigan closely, a spokesman said. A dozen states already have some form of medical marijuana law on the books. "Ohio would be a state worth considering, certainly a high priority. It would be a question of timing," said Edward J.

    Ohio, News - AAMC: Cannabis Use in Adolescence: Self-Medication for Anxiety AAMC: Cannabis Use in Adolescence: Self-Medication for Anxiety | Newshawk: Ohio Patient Network | CANNABIS USE IN ADOLESCENCE: SELF-MEDICATION FOR ANXIETY * Data From the Author’s Practice Show That Many Californians Use Cannabis to Treat Emotional Conditions. Government Studies Obscure This Reality and Some Reformers Seem Reluctant to Acknowledge It. In response to TV news footage of able-bodied young men buying cannabis in Oakland, city officials voted in 2004 to limit the number of dispensaries. The politicians were exploiting (and re-enforcing) a misconception that California’s medical marijuana law applies only to those with serious physical illnesses. Many of my own patients are seemingly able-bodied young men. Their histories reveal problems that are indeed serious (impaired functionality at school and/or work, use of addictive drugs) and that are treated effectively with cannabis. I began screening Californians seeking a physician’s approval to use cannabis in November 2001. Although the reference in Proposition 215 to a doctor’s “recommendation” of cannabis implied that some applicants would be seeking to use it medicinally for the first time, the applicants I encountered, almost invariably, had been using it in non-addictive, stable patterns.

      some HISTORY  

    Medical Cannabis, History - Letter: Medical Marijuana Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis | If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids. Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.

    Medical Cannabis - Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine 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.

Susan Stevens was indicted by the Richland County Grand Jury this month after police officers raided her home and confiscated her plants. Stevens says she uses marijuana for medicinal purposes only and she supports the move now underway in Ohio to legalize marijuana for medical reasons.

    Tonya Davis is working with State Senator Tom Roberts of Dayton on the Ohio Medical Compassion Act which would create a regulated card carrying system for the medicinal use of marijuana.

    Happy Holidays from OPN. Help us change the Laws in Ohio Read more info! A recap of events and accomplishments from Ohio Patient Network in 2008. Ohio Patient Network encourages all patients, doctors, and law enforcement officers that are in favor of the Ohio Medical Compassion Act, to submit a video or audio testimony that would be used to promote the acceptance and education of medical marijuana. We need to promote a positive approach to the legalization for medical marijuana in Ohio.

    Points to think about when making such a video:

    * How has your life changed for the better since using marijuana as a medication? i.e.: improved daily activities, symptom reduction, and/or general well-being.

    * How does MMJ affect your disability in a medical sense?

    * If you are a friend or family member of a MMJ patient, what noticeable differences have you seen in the person who has started using MMJ compared to conventional pharmaceuticals used in the past?
