First statement:
http://www.salviadivinorumcorps.org/statements/1.shtml
William Arden Ruth's statement.
This is a public statement directed to whom it may concern, regarding
the
changes the psychoactive plant Salvia divinorum has made in my life. I
write
this statement at this point in time because Salvia divinorum is
currently
under consideration to be made into a Schedule I 'drug'.
At the time of this writing, October 2002, Salvia divinorum is still
legal
in the United States. As the nation of Australia has banned Salvia
divinorum
June 2002 there is a very real possibility that the U.S. Food and
Drug
Administration as well as the Drug Enforcement Administration may
feel
compelled to follow Australia's lead and ban Salvia divinorum in the
United
States; in fact, two Democratic legislators from California introduced
on
October 10, 2002 a bill to Congress to do just that.
Personal background: I am a 49-year-old man, married for 22 years,
a
homeowner, gainfully employed and with diversified interests and
skills
vocationally and avocationally, including prehospital medicine, having
been
a practicing paramedic for 20 years and an Emergency Medical
Technician
instructor for 15 years. I have a good reputation in my community, and
my
friends include a computer systems analyst, police officers, a
Presbyterian
clergyman, schoolteachers, nurses, paramedics, firefighters, a
planetarium/observatory director, and electrical engineers.
With such a respectable reputation, you may wonder why I ever decided
to
experiment with Salvia divinorum, a psychoactive plant. The reason
lies with
my primary interest and skill, which is contemplation of the mystery
of
sentient existence. My entire life has been one characterized by
introspection, reflection, and self-awareness. Ever since childhood, I
have
been asking the 'big questions': Who am I? How is it that we, or
anything,
exists? What makes me different from 'others'? How do 'others'
experience
their existence? What would it feel like to be someone else? What is
our
relationship to the universe?
As the innocence of my childhood was gradually degraded by the
cultural
conditioning of American urban-industrial society, I became a very
unhappy
adolescent and adult, coming of age in the midst of the Vietnam War
and
Watergate. I came to realize that those who happened to rise to
positions of
authority do not necessarily possess the wisdom or integrity to be
worthy of
their power to make and enforce laws.
And so it is today. There are those who would now declare a
psychoactive
mint plant used over the centuries by indigenous Mexican people for
healing
and religious experiences to be off-limits to those who would want to
go
beyond the limitations of conceptual thinking and cultural
conditioning.
Salvia divinorum has given me unforgettable experiences of deep
meaning and
healing, enabling me to understand better my relationship to the web
of
life, the ground of being. To deny anyone sufficiently mature to
appreciate
the special powers of this plant would be an abuse of power, a
restriction
of others' personal freedom which is incompatible with 'life, liberty,
and
the pursuit of happiness.' Salvia has, literally, brought me back
to life,
and freedom, and has helped lead me to something even better than
happiness:
clarity of mind, and inner peace. These persisting benefits are
not
Salvia-dependent. I will always remember, and cherish, and be
profoundly
grateful, for what Salvia has helped me be able to see. The deeper
understanding from the perspective enhancement Salvia has provided me
is
indelible. I see the unity of life, the sacredness of all life, as
the
blinders of cultural conditioning fall away from my eyes. Salvia tells
the
truth, and goes beyond all human concepts of truth: Salvia takes us to
the
living truth, which is a healing experience, and a revelation.
Individual life is short and uncertain. In our brief time as human
beings we
have the opportunity to understand, to the limits of our abilities,
the
mystery of being; Salvia helps extend our abilities in this regard.
That
from which we all come, That to which we all return, awaits us; to
want to
better understand That, to experience the nature of That eternal
being, to
commune with That, to surrender to That, is everyone's birthright.
Salvia
divinorum, a living plant which somehow facilitates a better awareness
of
That which lives in us as us--the eternal being, no less--is a
religious
sacrament that is outlawed only by an ignorant, fearful body politic
that
does not tolerate individuals penetrating the veil of its dominant
cultural
conditioning.
When I first experienced Salvia divinorum in April 2000 I knew it was
a
genuine entheogen, the most therapeutic of teacher-plants. I was so
deeply
affected by the Salvia experience that I made a vow to stand up for
this
plant if there ever came a time a heedless authoritarian force
attempted to
make it illegal. That time has now come. Human ignorance and fear,
legislators in the throes of the prevailing cultural conditioning, now
want
to take away one of the effective tools individuals can use to
enhance
consciousness. It is sad to see how nicotine and alcohol, which
are
addictive, cause disease and diminish consciousness, are legal and
socially
acceptable; how prescription psychoactive drugs keep drug companies
wealthy
and the populace compliant and dependent; and how a humble plant that
is
nontoxic, nonaddicting and consciousness-enhancing is at risk of
being
turned into a Schedule I 'drug', the same legal status as heroin. This
is
not just. This is not necessary.
Does Salvia divinorum, used wisely, cause harm to the user or to
anyone
else? NO.
Does turning Salvia divinorum into a Schedule I 'drug' cause harm to
others?
YES. Arrest and incarceration ruins careers, destroys families,
deprives
individuals of rights and liberty.
I have lived long enough to see this country turn into an
ever-more-repressive regime. The tribe, the family of man, is
being
superseded by the police state. A bleak totalitarian future is taking
shape,
and at hand.
My personal, therapeutic, transcendental use of a humble Mexican
entheogen
is nobody's business but my own; that it's about to become Big
Brother's
business bodes ill for the citizens of the so-called Land of the
Free.
Ingesting a particular plant that helps me want to be a better person,
to
live more in accordance with the vision the plant provides, is an act
of
worship, not a criminal act. If the day ever came where I was
persecuted for
sharing this plant's life with my own, I will know that I am in fact
being
persecuted for religious reasons. I write this now as a free
citizen. I hope
I never have to write from a jail cell. The truth that Salvia reveals
is
eternal, and universal, and can never be suppressed, although many
will try.
To be at risk of imprisonment for wanting to see the truth more
clearly and
deeply is a sign of a fearful and ignorant time. At least I have lived
long
enough to known inner peace, spiritual freedom, and relief from my
own
ignorance and fear, to have had the opportunity to know Salvia
divinorum, a
beneficent plant that has enriched my life and understanding in ways
beyond
all words or measure.
May all people find the peace, wisdom and love of the spirit, the life
of
all lives.

Bruxelles, 15th-16th october 2002 - International Antiprohibitionist
League (IAL), the Parliamentarians for Antiprohibitionist Action (PAA)
and the Transnational Radical Party (TRP) promoted an international
antiprohibitionist meeting hold at the European Parliament. The
primary objective of the assembly was the discussion and preparation
of concrete actions to demonstrate the failures of prohibition and to
promote the antiprohibition alternative. In particular, the meeting
aimed to discuss and organize how to best promote drug regulation
through an antiprohibitionist reform of the UN Conventions, looking
forward at the the UN review conference on drug policies, to be held
in March 2003 in Vienna.
The International Antiprohibitionist League has elected Marco

BENEFITS OF CANNABIS SCRUTINIZED IN BRITAIN
LONDON (Reuters) -- Somewhere in the south of England, cannabis
plants
worth a small fortune on the street are ripening in high-tech
glasshouses.
But this crop, cultivated at a secret location under tight security,
will
never be rolled up and smoked.
Instead, it will be processed into a pharmaceutical-grade extract as
part
of an initiative that could see cannabis return to medical
respectability.
Two British research groups are conducting the world's biggest
clinical
trials to determine whether the Indian hemp plant really does confer
the
medical benefits many users claim. They will know the answer in a few
months.
John Zajicek of Derrifield Hospital in Plymouth, southwest England,
is
leading a government-backed study which has just recruited the last of
more
than 660 multiple sclerosis patients, and he believes cannabis will
pass
scientific scrutiny.

Trial ordered in case of hallucinogenic tea
Bill Rankin - Staff
Thursday, October 24, 2002
A man accused of illegally importing into Atlanta jungle vines
and leaves to brew a hallucinogenic
tea must stand trial, a federal magistrate ruled Wednesday.
U.S. Magistrate Alan Baverman declined to dismiss an indictment
against Alan Thomas
Shoemaker, whose lawyer contended the vines and leaves are legal
substances.
In his ruling, Baverman noted that Shoemaker is accused of
importing into Hartsfield International
Airport almost 1,000 pounds of the materials, "the
combination of which make a potent
hallucinogenic brew."
In January 2001, Shoemaker sent three crates of ayahuasca vines
and huambisa leaves here
from Peru. For centuries, the jungle vines and leaves have been
brewed to make a tea used by
shamans in the Amazon region during religious and spiritual
healing ceremonies.
The bitter-tasting tea is believed to heal the sick, bring
contact with spirits and divine the future.
But it also contains the hallucinogen DMT, an illegal controlled
substance. Earlier this year, a
federal grand jury in Atlanta indicted Shoemaker on charges of
illegal importation and possession
of DMT. It is the first prosecution of its kind in Atlanta.
Shoemaker, 49, said in a recent interview that he moved to Peru
10 years ago to study shaman
folklore. His lawyer, Page Pate of Atlanta, said Shoemaker
planned to use the jungle vines and
leaves to make tea solely for religious purposes in the United
States.
In court motions, Pate did not contend that the indictment
infringes on Shoemaker's First
Amendment, or religious freedom, rights. Instead, he argued that
Congress, when enacting the
Controlled Substances Act, only meant to make manufactured DMT an
illegal substance, not the
naturally occurring jungle vines and leaves that contain
DMT.
Pate also noted that DMT exists naturally in other plant life,
including some grown by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture to prevent soil erosion, and in the
human body.
But Baverman found that the Controlled Substances Act, while not
specifying the vines or
leaves as illegal substances, covers "any material"
that contains DMT. "When Congress speaks
clearly, the court must follow what Congress has stated,"
the judge wrote.
And Baverman found that congressional efforts to prevent illegal
drug use "were directed at the
human consumption of controlled substances, not, for example,
their use in basic agriculture or
their naturally occurring presence in the human body."
Pate expressed disappointment at the findings, which will be
forwarded to U.S. District Judge
Julie Carnes, who is to preside over Shoemaker's trial. Pate said
he will appeal the ruling to the
federal appeals court in Atlanta, either before or after
Shoemaker's trial, if necessary.

Drug Warriors
Crusade Against Reform Initiatives
By Daniel Forbes, AlterNet
October 24, 2002
On drug policy, the voting
public has proven ready to lead spaniel politicians by the nose,
voting for one liberalization measure after another. But federal,
state and local officials have begun a crusade to scuttle reform
initiatives around the nation.
Three wealthy drug reform
proponents have backed a string of successful state ballot initiatives
across the nation. Focusing initially on medical marijuana measures
out west, billionaires George Soros and Peter Lewis and
multi-millionaire John Sperling have won 12 of 13 ballot measures
since 1996. Their handiwork also includes Proposition 36, which
mandates treatment rather than prison for low-level drug offenders and
was passed overwhelmingly in California in 2000. Other activists have
similarly outflanked the officials who lag behind public opinion, and
the reform movement as a whole has won 17 of 19 ballot measures --
much to the chagrin of drug warriors.
Admitting to considerable
surprise in 1996, Clinton drug czar Barry McCaffrey drew a line in the
sand, in part by initiating the White House anti-drug media campaign.
But all levels of government, from local district attorneys to
governors and the Bush administration drug czar, John P. Walters, have
refined their counter-attack on the drug reform movement.
The National
Counter-Attack on Drug Reform
This year, the California-based
Campaign for New Drug Policies, the main agency of the wealthy trio's
reform ambitions, consciously set its sights on Republican-dominated
states east of the Mississippi. It sought to put to vote Prop.
36-style treatment amendments in Florida, Ohio and Michigan. A
cautious CNDP, which typically requires favorable poll ratings
exceeding 60 percent before committing its resources to a reform
inititative, proceeded with some confidence. But it has since run into
a Republican-led buzzsaw (not that Democrats necessarily embrace
reform more warmly), and only the Ohio measure ran the full gauntlet
to make it to the ballot.
In
Ohio, the measure is becoming a victim of outrageous ballot language
promulgated by a Republican-led elections board. Its popularity
sinking badly in the polls, it's currently losing by 20 points. The
loaded ballot language is part of the orchestrated, improper and
possibly illegal months-long anti-initiative campaign being
orchestrated by Ohio Governor Bob Taft. The Ohio effort has been so
cutthroat and effective, CNDP political director Dave Fratello
admitted, "If we lose, it's a road map to show how to beat us in
subsequent states like Michigan and Florida."
Elsewhere, federal and state judges have stymied
reform, in some cases by simply refusing to issue timely rulings. A
Michigan appeals court blatantly let the clock run out on a Detroit
medical marijuana measure, deigning to hold a hearing only long after
the deadline for printing ballots had passed. In Florida, the state
Supreme Court delayed holding a hearing for so long that the CNDP
decided not to risk the cost of gathering more signatures; it has
300,000 valid signatures in the bank should it return to the fray in
2004.
And in Washington, D.C., a
medical marijuana effort was shot down when a federal appeals court
tossed out a lower court ruling that stated, "There can be no
doubt that the Barr Amendment restricts plaintiffs' First Amendment
right to engage in political speech." The reference is to the
rider -- introduced by Rep. Bob Barr (R-GA) -- now automatically
attached to federal D.C. appropriations bills that prevents Washington
from spending a single dollar to enact any reduction of marijuana
penalties. Alexei Silverman, an associate with Covington & Burling
who worked on the case on behalf of the Marijuana Policy Project, said
the appeals court basically avoided the First Amendment issues and
agreed with the feds' assertions that the mechanical act of voting is
part of the legislative process and not exercising the right to
speech. Barr applauded the ruling, "which recognized the right
and responsibility of Congress to protect citizens from dangerous,
mind-altering narcotics."
Going solo, Peter Lewis has
boosted the funding of a dynamic, cheeky upstart, the D.C.-based
Marijuana Policy Project, which in years past has pursued reform
largely in state legislatures. Now, in its first electoral battle
(apart from its support for the disqualified D.C. effort), MPP has
spent $1.7 million shooting for the moon in Nevada. It managed to
qualify in an audaciously short time a perhaps quixotic effort to
regulate and control -- well, legalize, to employ the scornful term
opponents often incorrectly tar reformers with -- the possession of up
to three ounces of pot. Quixotic because even if it passes this year
and again in 2004 as Nevada requires, the measure calls for the state
to establish legal distribution channels. And, no matter what
statements drug czar John Walters may have made in Nevada regarding
federal respect for states' rights, the feds aren't going to let that
happen. This is the same administration that's been busting medical
dispensaries this fall all over California, typically targeting the
ones most above-board and publicly strident in asserting their
rights.
Meanwhile in Arizona, John
Sperling has backed a decriminalization measure, Proposition 203. It
states that personal-use possession of marijuana will be punishable by
a $250 civil fine. It also eliminates mandatory minimum drug
sentencing and requires parole for possession of any drug unless the
individual is a danger to the public. And it increases sentences for
violent crimes committed under the influence of drugs. Sporting its
own bit of distribution audacity, it would sidestep Arizona doctors'
timorous refusal to write marijuana prescriptions by directing state
police to distribute seized marijuana free of charge to certified
patients.
Seeking, it would seem, to sow
confusion among voters, Maricopa County attorney Rick Romley -- who
touted his candidacy for drug czar following President Bush's
selection -- got the curiously numbered Proposition 302 on the ballot.
With no real money or much public support, he turned to the
legislature to put it on the ballot; the numbering mirroring
Sperling's measure may be its greatest asset. If passed, it allows for
the option of incarceration rather than 203's mandatory parole for
simple possession. And it allows for jailing addicts who fail in
treatment. If both measures pass, whichever has more votes goes into
effect.
Arizona, Nevada and Ohio, the main remaining battlegrounds, have all
been graced by Walters' campaign appearances; he swung through Nevada
twice. A member of Bush's cabinet, he rails against the initiatives
while dismissing criticism about publicly funded federal interference
in state elections. What's more, the federal government has worked
overtime issuing reports demonizing drugs, particularly marijuana.
This September, the White House launched a new, taxpayer-funded ad
campaign that maintains smoking pot leads to either the slaughter of
innocent bystanders or, in a second ad, mere crippling for life.
Though Walters told Congress in May such ads don't keep kids from
drugs, they do poison the well for drug reform and seek to sway the
vote of those who pay for it.
"There's a certain irony in
all this that the state and federal governments have learned how to
beat back democracy," said Allen St. Pierre, executive director
of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws
Foundation.
Changing Ballot Language
In Ohio
Turning to specifics, though
several states vie for the crown of most unabashed electioneering,
Ohio trumps all comers. A concerted effort by Governor Taft, the
federal government and private activists to defeat the treatment/not
jail initiative in Ohio bore only mixed results: until recently, polls
favored the measure. But it may be defeated by a single wordy
paragraph - the crucial summary at the top of the ballot, all that
many voters read - that's promulgated by the Republican-controlled
Ohio Ballot Board, led by Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, a
Republican.
This ballot summary emphasizes
the measure's $247 million seven-year cost, and it discusses the
sealing of offenders' records and the 90-day maximum sentences. The
state-approved summary doesn't mention the likely overall savings, nor
indicate that drug dealers or violent criminals are excluded. In fact,
said Fratello, until threatened with a lawsuit, the ballot board
wanted to obscure even the fact that the $247 million stretched over
seven years. "It's clear they're trying to skew the ballot
language," he charged. "There's no talk in the summary of
treatment, job training, court monitoring or jail if they fail. They
just focus on the dismissal of charges, a prison limit of 90 days and
especially the $247 million. That could be the whole ball of
wax."
In late August, the official
summary then unavailable, the Columbus Dispatch found the proposal
favored by 43 percent to 37 percent. Using the summary, in
mid-September, the Cleveland Plain Dealer found 55 percent opposed and
only 30 percent in favor. Rather than read a long explanation, the
paper asserted that, "Most [voters] are expected to read a
one-paragraph preamble, which includes elements that appear to favor
the 'no' side." An anti-initiative spokesperson admitted that the
ballot language was a main cause of the steep slide in
support.
A subsequent Dispatch poll using
the summary found 51 percent against, 31 percent in favor. The paper
noted, "The specific ballot language and forceful opposition from
Gov. Bob Taft and a number of statewide organizations apparently made
a big difference with Ohioans." It added that the ballot language
"does not detail any potential savings accrued because treatment
costs about one-sixth the cost of incarceration." The Ohio CNDP
asserts that, even including the cost of treatment ($3,500 a year,
rather than prison's $22,000), the measure would save the state $21
million annually. In far-bigger California, according to a study
sponsored by the National Conference of State Legislatures, Prop. 36
saves the state $40 million annually.
CNDP's
backers spent some $1 million gathering nearly 800,000 signatures to
qualify for the Ohio ballot. Given the polling, the three wealthy
backers gave serious consideration to cutting their losses by skipping
any big, last-minute ad buy -- the key to CNDP's many successes. But
feeling that voters who understood the measure supported it, one
source said, "There'll be a solid two weeks' full-court press."
This source estimates that would entail $500,000 or more of television
ad time pushing the measure.
The ballot summary is perhaps
just the last fatal blow of a concerted effort by Taft and his
administration to subvert Ohio's electoral process. Details have
emerged in the Ohio press as well as in my report published
by the Washington think tank, the Institute for Policy Studies. Taft,
his wife, his chief of staff, two Ohio 'cabinet' members and numerous
other officials conceived and directed an anti-initiative campaign at
taxpayer expense. They were aided by Mary Ann Solberg, the nominee for
the position of Office of National Drug Control Policy's deputy
director, as well as a senior U.S. Senate staffer (who hosted a
stategy session in the U.S. Capitol building itself), the drug czars
of Florida and Michigan and a senior DEA agent. Betty Sembler, a
controversial private treatment maven who is married to the former
finance chair of the Republican National Committee, also participated,
as did four top executives from the supposedly apolitical Partnership
for a Drug-Free America. The PDFA ended up producing no ads for the
Taft effort, but documents indicate its overt willingness to help with
ads touting Ohio's current policies.
The Taft effort involved hundreds
of hours of state-paid staff time, including weekly strategy sessions,
some in the governor's residence. State funds paid for out of town
trips and overnight lodging, and at one point Ohio officials even
proposed diverting U.S. Dept. of Justice crime-fighting grants to fund
polling, focus groups and advertising. The documents detailing all
these expenses cover only 2001. Since then, terming the initiative
"seductive, deceptive and dangerous," Taft sent out on his
letterhead a plea for donations ranging up to $25,000 to defeat it.
For his part, John Walters took his show to Columbus in mid-October to
blast the treatment initiative, saying "It will weaken the tools
that the courts have to help get people into treatment." The
Toledo Blade quoted him saying it would also "weaken the ability
of society to use 'compassionate coercion' to help nonviolent drug
offenders." NewSpeak lives.
Walters Takes On
Nevada
Walters was relatively restrained
in Ohio compared to his pronouncements during two trips to Nevada. In
July he warned the state against becoming a "center for drug
tourism." And he said the initiative would "feed the
criminal organizations that are a dangerous threat to democratic
institutions in the Western Hemisphere." During his mid-October
visit, employing a bit of mangled syntax almost worthy of his boss, he
said, "By stimulating the use of drugs, we make all other
institutions of society more difficult to carry out." And he was
quoted in the Reno Gazette-Journal as saying, "More crimes are
stimulated by people under the influence of drugs, who become more
violent, dangerous and paranoid."
Walters recognizes the impropriety of what he's doing. He told The Las
Vegas Review-Journal "his office 'would not spend money or
dedicate any resources' " to fighting the measure. Does that mean
private funds pay his and his security detail's travel expenses? On a
trip this week to Chicago, admitted to The Chicago Tribune that he
campaigns against the initiatives only "reluctantly." But
after being "contacted repeatedly," by prevention
professionals, he agreed to appear. But, he said, "I certainly
understand the dangers of federal officials, a White House official,
coming to a state and talking about a state ballot issue. We didn't
use to do this." Talk's cheap -- his understanding doesn't limit
his campaigning. With a flair for irony, he added, "There's a
kind of reefer madness-madness going on here." Remarkably enough,
given the DEA hammer raining down in California, Walters also told the
Reivew-Journal, "People have the right to make their own
decisions. I don't believe you'd see federal officials coming into
Nevada to enforce possession laws."
But his own ONDCP spokesman, Tom
Riley, stated this August that the feds "would not allow the
state to tax and sell marijuana. The sale of marijuana is a violation
of federal law, and there is nothing that a state referendum can do to
change that." Walters might want to coordinate with the DEA
before floating his hands-off claims. A DEA spokesman told The Chicago
Tribune, "We will respond to this in a way similar to the
approach used for the cannabis buyers clubs [in California]. This is
still against federal law."
Officials might also want to get
on the same page regarding the amount of pot involved. Nevada cops
blast the initiative's three ounces as an amount that would produce
250 joints. But still in soft-sell mode, Walters told NPR back in
August that the amount is "quite small. Usually, there's no
federal enforcement of possession amounts at that level, especially
for marijuana." Speaking in Reno, however, Walters also used the
"250 cigarettes" estimate.
Similarly, when he visited Tucson
and Phoenix on October 9th to voice his opposition to the Arizona
measure, joined by both major-party gubernatorial candidates, Walters
told a group of elementary students and senior citizens that the
Arizona measure is "a stupid, insulting con," according to
The Arizona Republic.
Local Nevada law enforcement
officials have also been working overtime to oppose legalization. And
a highly partisan state Board of Health hearing in early October
featured not one proponent's testimony. Not surprisingly, the board
voted unanimously against the measure. At that hearing, the then
spokesman for the opposition, Clark County Deputy DA Gary Booker,
alleged that George Soros backed drug cartels in South America, and
that he'd contributed to MPP. According to The Review-Journal, Booker
based his accusation on the say-so of Democratic gubernatorial
candidate, state senator Joe Neal, who had lifted it from a
publication owned by Lyndon LaRouche. Soros has not been linked to
drug cartels and has not supported MPP's effort in
Nevada.
As to public officials'
opposition in general, the initiative's campaign manager, Billy Rogers
said, "We haven't made a big issue out of it. They can get away
with it, so they do it. Part of it is the arrogance of power, but
there's not a lot we can do to stop them. An old hand in politics once
told me: figure out what reality is in a campaign and deal with it."
Rogers said over the summer he tried to raise questions about the
sheriff department's politicking using marijuana obtained from the
official evidence vault, but it didn't faze them, and the media wasn't
interested. "There's a good old boy network, and they do what
they damn well please," he said. Rogers probably won't achieve
much more traction with his complaints about the opposition including
Las Vegas police department letterhead on a press release or the fact
that Booker's replacement as spokesperson is also the police
department's spokesperson. (The letterhead didn't appear on a
subsequent release.)
Last
week, Nevada Attorney General Frankie Sue Del Papa came out against
legalization, hypothesizing about potential large-scale civil
liabilities if smokers of state-distributed marijuana subsequently got
cancer. Rogers blasted the notion, noting that sellers of cigarettes
and alcohol incur no liability.
Michigan Loses Out
The anti-initiative effort in
Michigan did not achieve the rarefied heights of official state
support it enjoys in Ohio, as the campaign has centered on local
district attorneys. One highlight was a meeting at Detroit DEA
headquarters in late August where White House deputy drug czar Mary
Ann Solberg addressed some four-dozen judges, sheriffs, prosecutors,
state police, DEA agents, the drug czar of Michigan and private drug
policy professionals from Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Georgia.
According to the formal invitation, printed on DEA/U.S. Dept of
Justice letterhead, participants were to: "share their ideas and
strategies and possibly combine resouces in combating drug
legalization proposals." (Opponents invariably refer to treatment
rather than jail initiatives as 'legalization.')
The meeting also intended to
"provide presentations on how the DEA can assist state leaders in
this battle." Solberg lectured these high-powered individuals on
the Bush Administration's new anti-marijuana TV advertising. Judge
Brian W. MacKenzie, a Michigan district judge, said Solberg
"talked of the federal government's new initiative with regard to
marijuana." He said she described it as a new nationwide ad
campaign geared to educate the public about marijuana's dangers, and
that it was Solberg's main focus. In fact, MacKenzie added, one
attendee asked her about the possibility of the new ad campaign
targeting or emphasizing Michigan and Ohio, but she replied that
wasn't possible..
Detroit's own Rep. John Conyers
(D-MI) disseminated the basic details of the DEA's late-August confab
following his letter to DEA Director Asa Hutchinson demanding an
investigation of "possible misuse of federal funds without proper
authorization by Congress and in contravention of existing law.
Replying, Hutchinson referred to the DEA "educat[ing] the public
about the dangers of drugs." He stated that the meeting was
called to evaluate the initiatives' impact and to "carefully
consider how we should respond." The legality of any DEA response
at all should be considered.
For her part, Solberg, who
advised President Clinton on the disbursement of federal anti-drug
funds and has served on the board of the Community Anti-Drug
Coalitions of America, launched her opposition to the Michigan and
Ohio treatment initiatives long before this August meeting. Upon her
July, 2001 nomination to the ONDCP deputy directorship, she received
an e-mail from Ohio First Lady Hope Taft requesting assistance.
Solberg referred Taft to Michigan's drug czar, Craig Yaldoo, rather
than a private individual more suited to run a political campaign. She
wrote: "I met with Craig last week, and he is very interested in
taking up the fight and appears to be on top of the Soros people and
their movements in Michigan. I suggested he form a partnership with
you to fight the prop[osition].
Solberg herself worked to form
the Michigan anti-initiative Committee To Protect our Kids. James
Halushka, an Oakland County Deputy Prosecutor, told me she was the
committee's "godmother." He added, "The spark came from
Mary Ann - no question." That spark flared months after President
Bush publicly nominated her to her post. As to Solberg's current
involvement, Halushka said, "She has continued to be of help. She
has continued to help with connections to people and data."
Michigan's powerhouse Republican
governor, John Engler, did his part, as well. This summer he vetoed
$845 million in state revenue-sharing funds headed to local
governments. He publicly promised to restore the crucial funding if
voters rejected the treatment measure along with two other initiatives
he decried as fiscally unsound. The Michigan legislature over-rode his
veto, thrashing him with a combined vote of 141 to 2.
As of
now, the DEA need host no further meetings on the Michigan initiative.
Due to CNDP's lawyers' mind-boggling mistake in misnumbering the
petition, it was disqualified.
The Never-ending
Campaign
Opponents slam wealthy reform
backers for bamboozling the public with slick advertising. True, the
rich trio and others can spend a couple of million bucks in a single
state. But that pales before the taxpayers' own $150 million and more
a year. Take the White House's national ad campaign which is clearly
aimed at defeating the various initiatives. In one ad, the protagonist
buys some pot. As events inevitably unfold in the ONDCP world view,
the ad describes the chain of distribution, ending with: "And
this is the family that was lined up by Dan's cartel and shot for
getting in the way."
Boston University School of
Public Health professor William De Jong consulted with a White House
contractor on the media campaign's initial design. Interpreting
Solberg's remarks, he said, "Their true motivation is being
revealed: to influence referenda, though they will claim otherwise."
De Jong added, "They're trying to use the campaign to present
information that might influence the outcome of voter referenda."
Dr. David Duncan, an associate professor of medicine at Brown
University, helped design a study of the ads' efficacy for an ONDCP
consultant. His interpretation: "It's pretty obvious they are
hoping the ads will shade people's opinions on drugs in general, and
that that will spill over to their views on the initiatives."
According to AdAge.com, various
anti-marijuana ads will occupy $60 million worth of advertising
between this September and January, 2003. It's all part of a second
five-year media campaign that Congress authorized this year at $762
million despite Walters' admission it did not actually lower teen drug
use. With the media required to sell its time and space to ONDCP on a
two-for-one basis, after expenses, there'll be approximately $1.3
billion of anti-drug advertising over the next five years. Half will
likely be directed at adult voters, and all of it will tend, however
indirectly, to poison the drug-reform well.
As I disclosed on Salon in July,
2000, the initial five-year media campaign was engendered at a meeting
Barry McCaffrey convened in Washington nine days after the 1996
passage of the first two medical marijuana initiatives. Some forty
officials and private sector executives met to discuss the use of
taxpayer-funded messages to thwart other potential initiatives. They
included two White House officials, the head of the DEA,
representatives of the FBI, Departments of Justice, Health and Human
Services, Treasury and Education, along with state law enforcement
personnel and the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. One private
participant was quoted in the meeting's minutes as saying, "We'll
work with Arizona and California to undo it and stop the spread of
legalization to [the] other 48 states."
Daniel Forbes writes on social policy. His recent report on state and federal political malfeasance geared
to defeat treatment rather than incarceration ballot initiatives was
published by the Institute for Policy Studies. Much of his work,
including his series in Salon that led to his testimony before both
the Senate and the House, is archived at The Media
Awareness Project.

Subject: Are they getting desperate for an excuse to invade?
Iraqis linked to Oklahoma atrocity
By James Langton in New York, for the Evening Standard
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/1678779
The FBI is under pressure from the highest political levels in
Washington to investigate suspected links between Iraq and the
Oklahoma bombing.
Senior aides to US Attorney-General John Ashcroft have been given
compelling evidence that former Iraqi soldiers were directly involved
in the 1995 bombing that killed 185 people.
The methodically assembled dossier from Jayna Davis, a former
investigative TV reporter, could destroy the official version that
white supremacists Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were solely
responsible for what, at the time, was the worst act of terrorism on
American soil.
Instead, there are serious concerns that a group of Arab men with
links to Iraqi intelligence, Palestinian extremists and possibly al
Qaeda, used McVeigh and Nichols as front men to blow up the Alfred P
Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
Davis, who was one of the first reporters on the scene after the
blast, has spent seven years gathering evidence of a wider conspiracy.
But it is only as America prepares to wage war on Iraq and Saddam
Hussein that her conclusions are being taken seriously at the highest
level. Finally, she says, the authorities are examining the idea
"that the Oklahoma bombing might not simply be the work of two
angry white men".
After hearing her evidence, several senior members of Congress have
called for a new probe.
What triggered Davis's investigation was a report immediately after
the Oklahoma explosion of Middle-Eastern looking men fleeing in a
brown Chevrolet truck only minutes earlier. The FBI launched an
international hunt for the men but later cancelled the search.
Within days McVeigh and Nichols were arrested, and the case seemed to
be one of home-grown terrorists, motivated by a hatred for authority.
But the case has always had loose ends. In particular, several
witnesses in Oklahoma City that April morning saw a third conspirator
with McVeigh. The elusive dark-haired suspect became known as
"John Doe 2".
Terry Nichols, now serving life for conspiracy in the bombing and
involuntary manslaughter, was the original "John Doe 1" but,
with his arrest, the FBI claimed that the case had been wrapped up.
They eventually concluded that "John Doe 2" was Nichols all
along.
Davis thought otherwise. Early on, she found that a brown Chevrolet
truck almost identical to that once hunted by the FBI had been seen
parked outside the offices of a local property management company
several days before the bombing.
The owner was a Palestinian with a criminal record and suspected
ties to the Palestine Liberation Organisation. Later she found that
the man had hired a number of former Iraqi soldiers.
He had recruited them to carry out maintenance on his rental
properties, but several were later discovered to be missing from work
on the day of the bombing. Eyewitnesses have told Davis that they saw
several of them celebrating later that day.
But what increasingly drew her attention was another Iraqi living in
Oklahoma City, a restaurant worker called Hussain Hashem Al Hussaini,
whose photograph was almost a perfect match to the official sketch of
"John Doe 2".
Al Hussaini has a tattoo on his upper left arm, indicating he was once
a member of Saddam's elite Republican Guard.
Since then, Davis has gathered hundreds of court records and the sworn
testimony of two dozen witnesses. Several claimed to have seen a man
fitting Al Hussaini's description drinking with McVeigh in a motel bar
four days before the bombing.
Others positively identified former Iraqi soldiers in the company of
McVeigh and Nichols. Two swore that they had seen Al Hussaini only a
block from the Murrah building in the hours before the bombing. With
the case against McVeigh and Nichols seemingly watertight, the FBI has
until now consistently refused to reopen it. McVeigh went to his death
in the execution chamber two years ago, insisting he alone was
responsible.
Davis thinks he may have done so out of loyalty to his family, not
wishing to go down in history as a traitor to his country.
But she has evidence that up to 12,000 Iraqis were allowed into
America after the Gulf war. Some of these, she suspects, are using
their status as refugees for cover. "They are here," she
said. "And they are highly trained and motivated."
The renewed interest in Washington is clearly linked to America's case
against Saddam as broker of world terror.
And there is more. Al Hussaini, who entered the US from a Saudi
refugee camp, worked after the Oklahoma bomb as a cook at Boston's
Logan Airport - from where the two hijacked aircraft that hit the
World Trade Center took off.
There is another confirmed incident that suggests something more
sinister. Two of the 11 September conspirators held a crucial meeting
at a motel in Oklahoma City in August 2001. The motel's owner has
since identified them as ringleader Mohammed Atta and Zacarias
Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker, who has known links with
shoebomber Richard Reid.
The motel is unremarkable - except for one thing. It is where a
number of Davis's witnesses are sure they saw McVeigh drinking and
perhaps plotting with his Iraqi friends.

FBI: Man indicted on perjury charges gave 9/11 tip
Associated Press
Last updated 04:05 AM, EST, Wednesday, October 23, 2002
DETROIT (AP) -- A man being held in Wayne County Jail on perjury
charges told federal agents a month before Sept. 11 that an attack on
Washington, D.C. was being planned, according to an FBI report.
Gussan Abraham Jarrar, a 42-year-old Jordanian man, said he tried to
give a warning, but nobody would listen, Jarrar told the Detroit Free
Press in an interview at the jail.
Federal officials acknowledged in the report that Jarrar gave vague
statements in August 2001 about plane bombings, but determined he had
no real information and simply fabricated details of a nonexistent
terrorist cell to liven up his jail stay.
"If they would have given me a chance, I would have found out
what was going to happen," Jarrar told the newspaper.
Jarrar told a Detroit federal grand jury in August that he and seven
other Detroit-area men planned to blow up the Mackinac Bridge, the
federal building in Detroit and the Cedar Point amusement park in
Ohio.
But federal authorities -- who spent months investigating his claims
-- said he lied and that no such group exists.
Jarrar was indicted on three counts of perjury. Each charge is
punishable by five years in prison and probable deportation. His trial
was to begin Tuesday.
"We acted promptly and diligently on his information and we found
not only that it was unsubstantiated, we charged him with perjury,"
said Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Cares, head of Detroit's
Anti-Terrorism Task Force. Cares wouldn't elaborate.
A key element in Jarrar's defense is an Aug. 30, 2001, FBI report in
which he predicted terrorists would "carry out a suicide plane
bombing attack on the White House, Washington, D.C., sometime during
the holiday season, 2001, possibly Thanksgiving and or
Christmas."
Although Jarrar got the date wrong, his prediction two weeks before
Sept. 11 suggests he may have known something.
"He either had knowledge or he's an amazing soothsayer,"
said his lawyer, Donald Ferris of Ann Arbor.
Jarrar, who has been in the United States since 1979, had worked jobs
as a mechanic and auto service shop manager.
He was in custody at the Macomb County Jail on a drug charge, when he
was called to testify before a grand jury in Detroit on Aug. 16,
2001.
He claimed the group, which he said was called Whatever It Takes, was
an anti-Israeli organization that planned to set off bombs across
Michigan and at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.
Jarrar said he started having second thoughts about the group after
his October 2000 arrest for cocaine possession and driving a stolen
car in Monroe County. He served six months in jail.
Within days of his arrest, Jarrar said he tried to warn federal
and state authorities of the plot.
"Nobody believed me," he said.
The grand jury said he lied about the existence of the group,
falsely claimed he bought parts to make pipe bombs and fabricated a
letter he claimed had been written by a member of the plot.
Jarrar admits he had an inmate write the bogus letter and embellished
other details because he was afraid agents wouldn't take him
seriously. He insists he was telling the truth on the key points.
Federal officials declined to discuss details of their case.
Detroit FBI spokeswoman Dawn Clenney said the government asked
the U.S. Attorney's Office to have Jarrar indicted on perjury charges
because he wasted valuable FBI resources.

iboga extract
Status:
Michele,
here is what happened yesterday:
At 3.00 p.m. Pacific time, a 150 mg test dose of extract given
(this extract
is whole plant alkaloid, of 1 mg. there is 550 - 650 mg of ibogaine,
the
remaining volume (350-450mg per gram, are 11 other iboga bark
alkaloids) .
at 5.00 p.m., 700 mg enthogarden iboga TPA extract given
at 6.15 p.m. , second dose of 700 mg. iboga TPA extract given
at 7.15 p.m. , third dose of 750 mg. iboga TPA extract given,
7.45 p.m. subject vomits, contains part or all of third dose of
iboga
extract.
Subject feels fine after vomit, readminister 400 mg of iboga
extract
at 8.25 p.m. (now), subject is tired, resting, not seeing any
visualization
at any time thus far.
From 5.15 onward, has been resting with eyes closed, little movement,
pulse,
heartrate, all other signs normal. Subject has felt fine except for
period
(2 minutes) of vomitting after 3 dose.
Now it is 11.30 p.m. It is 33 hours after the patient had heroin dose,
three
and half hours after the final iboga extract dose. Patient has been
sleeping
for last two hours, but has been relaxed for 6.5 hours, excepting
a 2 minute
vomit episode earlier. We noticed he is dreaming now, as murmuring
type
sounds are coming from him, and brain activity has been noticeable for
the
first time during the procedure. No signs of discomfort or withdrawl.
He has
consistently said he feels fine up to about 2 hours ago, when he went
into
calm sleep, and appears quite...content. He slept very well last night
(12
hours), so he is certainly getting alot of rest in my place while he's
here.
So far, so good.
Martin slept from 10.00 p.m. to 8.00 a.m., in normal relaxed
sleep. Woke up hungry, feeling good, no signs of withdrawl, and at
10.00 a.m. is pleasantly watching a movie. It is 43 hours since last
heroin use. No apparent withdrawl symptoms.
Dr. Howard Lotsuf commented that he had never heard of anyone
sleeping through the iboga experience, but possibly the extract, which
is new, contributed to this result. He also commented that each
individual responds differently.
Its a beautiful day, so the patient and my crew of helpers will
go out for a walk around the oceanside seawall later today.

Marc, I don't understand what you mean by, "is whole plant
alkaloid, of 1
mg." The 1 mg part needs explanation, at least to me.
And just for clarity,
I am not a doctor and the spelling is "Lotsof".
Thanks on that. Would be
very interested to have your report on what the subject
thinks of his
experience. Or better yet, let him provide his own
report to the mindvox ibogaine list.

As I understand the iboga product I have, from enthnogarden, is, in
its
constituents, of one gram, 550 mg - 650 mg. are of ibogaine, the other
350 -
450 mg. are of the other eleven alkaloids of the iboga. If I
understand
correctly.
As of 1.20 p.m. Wednesday, 20 hours since first ingestion of first
dose,
46.5 hours since patient had a narcotic, the patient is resting
briefly now,
after being up and active for 5 hours. Is increasingly happier at
realization that there are no withdrawl symptoms. Wants to work with
us on
this ibogaine. Can't understand why neither he nor anyone he knows had
ever
heard of ibogaine. Is getting a bit excited at his prospects. I asked
him if
he wanted to go for a walk outside, its a remarkable day here, and he
said
he was little weak for that, but he has been eating well, reading,
thinking
about his prospects. He looks like he is on the verge of having
great fun,
if I can say that.
He is going to film school in January, has a non-addicted girlfriend,
two
supportive foster parents (martin is 25, so thats great for them to
help).
Have not recognized any withdrawl symptoms. One of our helpers is a
former
heroin addict and says its quite something to see a narcotic addict 46
hours
after using go through no apparent discomfort or withdrawl. All five
of us
in the crew are submilely amazed, meaning we saw it all, but its
hard to
realize that this very addicted fellow seems now normal.
We will be with him for another 48 hours, to Friday morning, then we
will
return him to his home.
Then we begin soliciting other candidates. We also have a seminar
on
November 2 for any interested person, on iboga therapy.

Dana Beal called with the suggestion that my patient slept through
much of
the ibogaine experience (He was very drowsy for 5 hours, then slept
deeply
for 10 hours, and he's been resting and eating like a horse since),
because
of three powerful hash oil brownies I gave him the night before to
sleep (it
knocked him out 12 hours, which is what happens with 3of these
brownies).
Its possible the ibogaine in his stomach synergized with the THC
in his
stomach/liver, and changed the experience, leaning toward comfort,
sleep,
but as is true with marijuana consumers, no visualization.
However, half an hour ago, he blurted out. "You know by now I'd
be running
out of the house to score, like I wouldn't be able to take it by
now...but I
feel fabulous and not stressed at all! "
Boy, is he eating, he's having fun eating, enjoying movies. I told him
he'll

you must look to it that your friend has a good diet and not

It isn't very good to be fasting and then eat a lot at once ,
this is wat I would like you to think about ,

Please subscribe to new MMM email list. Public archive still
open.
The public MMM email list at Yahoo Groups now requires people to
subscribe
in order to post messages to the list and the public archive. For
a few
weeks I set it up so that non-members could also send in email
messages to
the list. That was to help people send in MMM rally reports. It
worked.
The archive also got some spam too. That was deleted. But people
should
keep sending in MMM-related stuff. Just subscribe first.
The MMM message archive itself is still public and accessible to
anybody:
