Medical Marijuana - USA

April 1997Outside a cannabis co-operative in San Francisco,USA, customers queue up to make their purchases. Looking more like a cafe than a clinic, the co-op sells bark like quantities of marijuana over the counter.Amongst the smokers puffing on brass pipes, there are some with genuine illnesses - stomach cancer, arthritis, AIDS. 74 year old granny, Hazel Rodge, plays the piano, sings hymns and smokes dope! The founder of the co-operative is Dennis Peron, the co-founder of article 215, drug dealer and jailbird of 2 years. He is opposed by Dr. Robert du Pont who denounces the new law as "just a sham, a fraud." Meanwhile the National Institute of Health has concluded that marijuana does show promise for some medical conditions. Pro-marijuana Dr. Steve O'Brien talks about the recent restrictions imposed by the Federal government and complains, "they don't want to attack the patients because it's politically incorrect". Report on medical drug battles in the US.

15:30 excellent "hey look an orange tree!" it makes me wish i had waited untill later in life to first experience some of the simple pleasures. Obviously though those guys were recapturing some youth and i envy them for that.

I thought at first 5:10 was a joke "i have hypertension.." but he continued with a legit. list.

well marijuana can help ease pain in people and return you to a more balanced state yet stimulated becuase a lot of the chemiscals inside cannabis act as tryptamines or keys to the key holes of your receptors in the brain. It helps people with add and kids who take it who have add have a increase in learning and comprehension. It also makes you feel hella good and at peace with the world. Im a nurse and i tell families to encourage their elders to smoke dope and they DO! LOLLOLOOLOLL

And 1 legalization case more. Who's the old man in the suit, and the red tie anyway? I would say that it is no dope, it is Cannabis. It is a sacred plant. It healed me from a stress related physical problem. And why should I not be able to recreate and being healed?

What do you mean with "hippie drug"?

It's the economists drug too, lawyers, judges, politicians, musicians, businessmans and bums.

Everyone smokes it, period.

With a Mcain presidency, physicians who prescribe marijuana to their patients or advocate its use would loose their medical licence. States that have decriminalized it for medical use would loose Federal Highway funding. Pocession of even small amounts would result in a manditory prison sentence. Its estimated that under a Mcain presidency, the prison population could swell to 5 million in the first four years!
