What does that make you Mr. Hide myself with some fake name? You have
been a problem from time to time. I personally know Glenn, can't say the
same with you.

Wait, wait...let me get my handerkerchief and position my hand over my breast.

It's my experience that characters who pronounce their themselves as only
altruistic from a soapbox are usually cads.

CORPUS CHRISTI � Police on Wednesday gave CPR to a man after an officer
used a Taser to subdue him during an incident on Wooldridge Road.

Police Chief Troy Riggs said the man was surviving late Wednesday. He
was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial, but Riggs didn�t know the
man�s condition.

Riggs said many details of the incident still were being investigated
but it began at 6:54 p.m. when an officer on patrol saw drivers flashing
their headlights at Cimarron Boulevard and Airline Road.

Riggs said the officer discovered a bicyclist who was westbound in the
eastbound lane on Wooldridge near Airline. When the officer approached
the cyclist, the man became verbally abusive, Riggs said.

The cyclist then rode to a nearby restaurant in a shopping center where
the officer again stopped him and tried to pat the man down. The man
resisted, Riggs said, and a confrontation began. That�s when the officer
called for backup.

The officer who first confronted the man used pepper spray, but it
didn�t subdue the man, Riggs said. The chief said the officer then used
a Taser. He said he didn�t know where the Taser struck the man, who
police believe to be in his 50s.

Officers cuffed the man and realized he wasn�t

responsive and began CPR and called an ambulance, Riggs said.

In all, five Corpus Christi police officers responded. Riggs said a
CCISD police officer also was on scene. The city officer who used the
Taser has been put on administrative leave, which is standard procedure
during the investigation, Riggs said.

Riggs didn�t release the name of the officer late Wednesday.

Last month, Taser International advised police agencies across the
nation not to shoot its stun guns at a suspect�s chest.

The Associated Press reported that the Arizona-based company says such
action poses a risk, albeit extremely low, of what it called an adverse
cardiac event.

The advisory, issued in an Oct. 12 training bulletin, marked the first
time that Taser has suggested there is any risk of a cardiac arrest
related to the use of its 50,000-volt stun guns, the AP reported.

Taser officials have said the bulletin does not state that Tasers can
cause cardiac arrest. They said the advisory means only that
law-enforcement agencies can avoid controversy if their officers aim at
areas other than the chest.

Thanks "Glenn". That means everything to me.

1. Which one of us is man enough to appear here under his own name, not some pseudonym that any reasonably mature 13-year-old would be ashamed to carry?
2. Which one of us predicted to the CPOP list, just before the election last year, that Obama “would never take office” because Bush wasn’t going to let that happen? Shall I produce the email? I still have it.
3. Which one of us is a regular, prolific, and dedicated contributor to this list and a serious journalist, and which one of us mainly sends tinfoil-hat teabagger Glenn Beck-style stupidity?

American Medical Association Reverses Position, Calls For Review of Medical Pot

Coming to a dispensary near you
​
For years, one of the main arrows in the quiver of anti-pot zealots in arguing against medical marijuana (along with the federal pot prohibition, recently blunted by the Obama Administration) has been "But the American Medical Association says pot has no medical value." As of today, that's no longer true.

In a move considered historic by supporters of medical marijuana, the AMA voted today to reverse its long-held position that marijuana should continue to be classified under federal law as a Schedule I substance with no medical value. The organization, which is the largest physician-based group in the United States, adopted a report, "Use of Cannabis for Medicinal Purposes," drafted by the AMA Council on Science and Public Health (CSAPH), which affirms the therapeutic benefits of medical marijuana and calls for further research.

The CSAPH report concludes that "short term controlled trials indicate that smoked cannabis reduces neuropathic pain, improves appetite and caloric intake especially in patients with reduced muscle mass, and may relieve spasticity and pain in patients with multiple sclerosis."

And in a move that could eventually have enormous public policy repercussions, the physicians' group urges that "the Schedule I status of marijuana be reviewed with the goal of facilitating clinical research and development of cannabinoid-based medicines, and alternate delivery methods."

This striking change of position was, according to the medical marijuana advocacy group Americans for Safe Access (ASA), partly put into motion by a resolution adopted in June 2008 by the Medical Student Section of the AMA in support of the reclassification of marijuana's Schedule I status.

The last AMA position, adopted in 2001, had maintained a hard-line anti-pot stance, calling for maintaining marijuana as a Schedule I substance with no medical value.

However, the AMA had lobbied against making marijuana illegal to begin with back in 1937. Dr. William C. Woodward of the AMA offered eloquent written testimony pointing out that "the medicinal use of cannabis has not caused and is not causing addiction" and that "the prevention of the use of the drug for medicinal purposes can accomplish no good end whatsoever."

Dr. Sunil Aggarwal: "Marijuana has both already-demonstrated and future-promising medical utility"

​ "It's been 72 years since the AMA has officially recognized that marijuana has both already-demonstrated and future-promising medical utility," said Dr. Sunil Aggarwal, the medical student who spearheaded the passage of the 2008 resolution by the MSS and was also one of the CSAPH report's expert reviewers.

"This shift, coming from what has historically been America's most cautious and conservative major medical organization, is historic," said Aaron Houston, director of government relations for the Marijuana Policy Project. "Marijuana's Schedule I status is not just scientifically untenable, given the wealth of recent data showing it to be both safe and effective for chronic pain and other conditions, but it's been a major obstacle to needed research."

Other drugs listed in Schedule I, which are deemed to have no accepted medical uses and to be unsafe for use even under medical supervision, include heroin, LSD, and PCP.

Drugs listed in the less restrictive Schedule II, for which medical use is permitted with strict controls, include cocaine, morphine, and methamphetamine. Marinol, a pill containing THC, a component responsible for marijuana's "high," is classed in Schedule III; its looser requirements allow phoned-in prescriptions.

The AMA's about-face on medical marijuana follows an October announcement by the Obama Administration discouraging federal attorneys from taking enforcement actions against medical marijuana patients and providers in states where they are operating legally.

In February 2008, the second largest physicians' group in the United States, the American College of Physicians (ACP), adopted a resolution (PDF) calling for an "evidence-based review of marijuana's status as a Schedule I controlled substance to determine whether it should be reclassified to a different schedule."

"The two largest physician groups in the U.S. have established medical marijuana as a health care issue that must be addressed," said Caren Woodson, government affairs director at ASA. "Both organizations have underscored the need for change by placing patients above politics."
