DRIVING HIGH
Letter Of The Day
RE "LETTER of the Day," by Jean-Pierre Allard (Dec. 22):
Allard was
concerned about the effect of marijuana on driving. In the most
comprehensive study ever done, involving 2,500 drivers, the University
of
Adelaide's (Australia) pharmacology department and Transport SA, found
that
cannabis was the only drug tested that decreased the relative risk
of
having an accident.
If that that is not enough, Allard should look to the recent studies
which
have embarrassed the British government. The British Transport
Research
Laboratory in recent tests began with preconceptions built primarily
around
the legal status of this plant, reasoning that if it is illegal it
must be
as intoxicating as alcohol.
What they found instead was that amongst regular smokers the
mellowing
effects of cannabis made drivers more cautious and so less likely to
drive
dangerously, and that they are less likely to cause road accidents
than
drunk drivers or even drug-free drivers
The fact is that, notwithstanding marijuana's legal status, these
studies
have found that being under the influence of marijuana while driving
is
less dangerous than driving while fatigued. Jean-Pierre Allard should
rest
assured that studies have already been done in this regard, and it is
not a
big issue as marijuana is not a central nervous system depressant like
alcohol.

ETHIOPIANS LEAVE COFFEE FOR NARCOTIC
BEDESA, Ethiopia -- Usmani Ali has given up on coffee and turned to
growing
something more profitable: khat, a leafy narcotic.
During previous droughts like the one now gripping the country,
the global
coffee market helped Ali, 28, stave off starvation. He sold his
prized crop
to traders, who paid him decent prices and sold his coffee to American
and
European companies.
But today there's too much coffee in the world, and prices are at
30-year
lows. While premium Ethiopian coffees fetch up to $12 a pound in the
United
States, Ethiopia's farmers get only 15 cents for it.
That's not enough to cover Ali's costs. So he's turned to khat, a
leafy
cash crop that is chewed legally by millions of people in the Horn
of
Africa and Middle East. In the United States and Britain, where it
is
illegal, khat fetches as much as $200 a pound.

MARIJUANA BILL READY FOR SESSION
HARTFORD, Conn. -- The debate over the issue of medical marijuana
is
expected to again come up before the Connecticut legislature this
coming
session.
State Rep. James Abrams, D-Meriden, said he will again propose
legislation
that would allow doctors to issue certificates recommending marijuana
for
their patients' medical conditions.
In 1981, Connecticut passed one of the nation's first medical
marijuana
laws, allowing doctors to prescribe the drug for medical purposes.
But
because federal law overrides state law, doctors have not been
prescribing
it for fear of prosecution.
Under Abrams' proposed bill, doctors would not prescribe the drug,
only
recommend it. The burden of acquiring marijuana would be transferred
from
doctors to patients, who would have to show valid certificates.

JUDGE CALLS MARIJUANA LAW INVALID
WINDSOR, ONT. - A judge in Windsor, Ont., has ruled that Canada's
law
on possession of small amounts of marijuana is no longer valid.
Justice Douglas Phillips made the ruling when he dismissed two
drug
charges against a 16-year-old local boy.
In his ruling, Phillips said Parliament has failed to address
problems
with Canada's marijuana laws.
In July 2000, the Ontario Court of Appeal struck down a federal
law
prohibiting the possession of less than 30 grams of marijuana.
The court found in the case of epileptic Terry Parker of Toronto
that
the law violated the rights of sick people who use marijuana for
medical reasons.
The court gave Ottawa a year to clarify its law on marijuana
possession.
The federal government responded with the Marijuana Medical Access
Regulations, which went into effect July 31 of last year. The new
rules allowed the use of marijuana for medical reasons, but they
didn't address the issue of recreational use.
"I think it's also satisfying to know that this particular law
has
been declared invalid, particularly given how burdensome it is in
terms of criminalizing the behaviour that hundreds of thousands of
Canadians engage in," said the teen's lawyer, Brian
McAllister.
Justice Minister Martin Couchon said last year the government is
considering decriminalization the laws for small amounts of
marijuana
possession.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA AN ELECTION ISSUE
Bloomington physician Clark Brittain reached over his office desk for
his
container of herbal tea, which is about the strongest thing he ever
ingests.
"I don't drink alcohol, don't even drink coffee or cola,"
Brittain said. "I
don't smoke cigarettes, or anything else. I'm a real boring
guy."
Everything about Brittain's demeanor proclaims a zest for life,
though. It
is conveyed by twinkling eyes, a jaunty mustache and an engaging
personality.
Perhaps that helped him garner 25 percent of the vote in the District
61
state representative race, running as a Libertarian -- the highest
percentage received by any Indiana "third party" candidate
for any state or
national office this November.

Homeless sweep pushes out 'Jukebox'
Wyatt Buchanan, Chronicle Staff Writer
San Francisco -- The bulldozers came at daybreak Monday,
crushing the
baby
grand piano Grimes Poznikov has slept under and entertained neighbors
with
the past few years in a homeless encampment in southeast San
Francisco.
The piano, along with an expanse of trash and items
collected by Poznikov
and other homeless people, was scooped into a towering pile to be
hauled
off to a dump at Half Moon Bay.
The cleanup was part of a Department of Public Works
effort to force
property owners to clean up vacant lots along the Caltrain tracks in
the
southern part of the city.
"We are fastidiously cleaning up -- without notice,
which is kind of a
bummer," said Poznikov, a Fisherman's Wharf street performer
during the
1970s and 1980s.
Poznikov, who was known as the "Automatic Human
Jukebox," popped out of a
phone booth-sized cardboard box and played the trumpet. His act
was
featured in San Francisco guide books before he fell on hard
times.
Monday, Poznikov awoke to the grunt of heavy equipment
moving along the
narrow valley toward his make-shift home. He and a neighbor rushed to
fill
shopping carts with clothes and random items and hauled them out of
their
camp.
He said the bulldozers had taken him by surprise.
City workers visited the site last week to inform
residents of their
impending eviction, said Mohammed Nuru, deputy director of the
Department
of Public Works.
The city ordered the property owners to clean and fence
off the site or
face the possibility that the city will sue them. Officials say
the
encampment has turned into a public health hazard.
The city targeted a mile-long stretch along the railroad
tracks that is
visible to Caltrain's commuters coming from the Peninsula and South
Bay.
Crews at work Monday were hired by the property owners.
Several dozen people have been rousted from the site in
recent weeks.
After a few hours scrambling to save his stuff, Poznikov
was told to stay
out or he would be arrested. He ran in one last time to grab a pack
of
cigarettes and was then shooed away by cleanup workers.
He said he would spend the evening looking for anything
salvageable from
his collection and resettle elsewhere in the area.
Losing clothing along with his piano and piles of other
stuff makes for a
rough day, Poznikov said.
"You live rent-free, you gotta pay a price," he
said. "It's a hell of a
hard life."

Police confiscate bail money, claiming it smelled like marijuana
By Associated Press, 12/27/2002 18:43
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (AP) Police confiscated $50,000 in cash from a
Vermont
couple who had come to bail their daughter out of jail, because the
money
smelled like marijuana and was thought to be the proceeds of drug
deals.
Nikita Santor's parents, Arlene and Martin Edward Santor of
Wallingford,
Vt., brought the money Sunday to the Hampshire County Jail. Most of
the
money was in $20 bills wrapped in rubber bands, police said.
The officer at the jail smelled the cash and detected a ''slight odor
of
marijuana,'' according to a sworn statement. A police dog then sniffed
it
and confirmed the drug smell, according to the affidavit.
The Santors told police that they did not provide the bail money, but
got
the money from their daughter's friends.
Nikita Santor, 27, of Ascutney, Vt., and Michael Lenahan, 36, of
Walpole,
N.H., were arrested Dec. 18 on Interstate 91 in Northampton. Santor,
who
was driving Lenahan's car, was pulled over for following another car
too
closely. The state trooper who pulled her over smelled marijuana in
the car
and a search recovered marijuana and $12,000 in cash.
Police later found other drugs, cash and a handgun in each of their
homes,
police said.
Both pleaded innocent to possession with intent to distribute.
The district attorney's office is seeking to keep the $50,000 and a
hearing
on the matter is scheduled for Jan. 16.
Santor remains in jail.

TRIBESMEN TAKE UP ARMS TO RESIST AFGHAN DRUG WAR
JALALABAD, Afghanistan - Authorities were forced to stop
destruction of opium poppy fields in parts of an eastern Afghan
province after tribesmen took up arms to resist the move,
residents
said Sunday.
They said tribesmen in Shinwar, Khogyani and Achin districts of
Nangarhar province opened fire when anti-drug enforcers from the
provincial government showed up Saturday and an unidentified
person
was wounded in Achin.
Production of opium, which is used to make heroin exported to
Europe
and the United States, has soared to near record levels in
Afghanistan
since the fall of the fundamentalist Taliban regime last year.
Noor Rahman, a native of Khogyani, said tribesmen had vowed to
resist
future eradication efforts with force.
"The tribesmen used loudspeakers to call on people to come out
of
their houses to resist the plan," he told Reuters.
"Government troops
have been forced to leave the area."

Learning the Lessons of George the First's First Gulf War
by
Michael Novick,
Anti-Racist Action-LA/People Against Racist Terror
Malcolm X said that of all studies, history best rewards our diligent
efforts, because of the light it casts on our current reality. With
that in mind, a look back at the previous U.S. war in Iraq, and the
opposition to it, will pay dividends in dealing with the current Bush
administration plan to launch a renewed military assault in the
on-going US war against Iraq. Unless we want to repeat the failures of
that previous effort, we must understand why we were not capable of
derailing Desert Shield and Desert Storm in the early 1990's, or doing
much to materially impede the decade of war that has followed. What
were the key weaknesses of our organizing and resistance efforts? What
were the main strategies of the U.S. ruling elite in building its
international coalition and support base within the U.S.? How can we
overcome those weaknesses, and undermine those strategies, in the
current period?
How can we expose to people in the US, whose consent is still pivotal
to the ability of the US regime to wage such wars, what its real costs
are? Not by seeking a level of opposition that will minimize people's
discomfort level, but by exposing the system that produces war.
We can identify four key weaknesses of the anti-war movement in that
earlier period.
The most obvious and basic weakness was that the movement against the
war flat-lined once the war began.
People are talking excitedly today about how the current growing
opposition to the war is much greater than at a comparable period in
the development of the Vietnam War and the anti-war movement of the
60's. But they are forgetting that most of the protest and opposition
to the first Bush war in Iraq came during the build-up of Bush's
international coalition and the massing of US and "allied"
forces in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in preparation for the
invasion.
Once Congress voted to approve Bush Sr.'s proposed use of armed force,
and troops went in, the anti-war movement pretty much collapsed. The
litany of "We have to support our boys" became predominant.
the Democrats fell loyally in line behind the President once the vote
was taken. That's because they ultimately represent the same class and
colonial interests as the Republicans.
Vietnam an Exception to the Pattern of Acquiescence to War
This is in fact the general pattern in U.S. history, to which the
Vietnam War was a striking exception, because the Vietnamese were able
to effectively apply a strategy of protracted people's war. Combined
with US over-extension and weakness, this allowed the war's impact to
be experienced first-hand by a conscript army, and seen as a prospect
by millions more facing conscription. The rulers of the US learned two
key lessons, which mean such a process is unlikely to be repeated.
First, they abandoned the legal draft, obligatory military service, in
favor of a poverty draft and a professional, high tech army. Second,
they abandoned "escalation" (slow incremental increase in US
military forces). Instead they opted for a combination of
"low-intensity warfare" (covert military actions fought
mainly under CIA control via puppet soldiers from the colonies) as in
Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador and Afghanistan in the 80's; and
nazi-style "blitzkrieg" (lightning war) as in Granada,
Panama, Iraq and Kosovo/Yugoslavia.
Remember that there was opposition to the US war with Mexico in 1846.
Abraham Lincoln, in Congress, actually voted against a declaration of
war. People like to quote him now from that speech about the dangers
of executive power. But they neglect to mention that once the
declaration passed, he along with the rest of Congress voted to
"support our boys" and pass the appropriations bills
necessary to fight that war of aggression. Congress later approved the
annexation of the additional territories conquered in that war
(including California), as they had approved the annexation of Texas,
which precipitated the war.
There is no reason to expect that a war in Iraq will be protracted,
once launched. Remember that people made dire predictions to the
effect that Afghanistan would be a snare for the U.S. because of its
long history of protracted, bloody battles against foreign invaders,
and the fact that they had bogged down the Russians for almost a
decade. Yet neither the Afghan winter, nor its mountains, nor its
clans, proved to be any substantial impediment to the US military
operations. (This is not to say the US operation was a success, either
on its own terms or from the perspective of the Afghan people, who are
now suffering under a new set of mujaheddin warlords.)
Iraq, in comparison, has almost no natural protection from invasion in
terms of terrain, and only a little in terms of weather. Its army and
people have been weakened by over a decade of warfare by the US and
Britain. It will no doubt pay a horrible price if Bush succeeds in
once again sending in troops and launching a full-scale air war on
Baghdad.
But we cannot expect that the course of the war will provide
opportunities for an incremental growth of opposition and anti-war
organizing based on the costs of the war for the U.S. in conventional
terms. It is racist to assume that a massive deadly toll in Iraq will
do our organizing for us. We must do it now -- the building, the
extending, and the engaging of people in a critical dialogue that will
deepen their questioning of the whole sick system.
It's an Empire, not a Policy
A second related weakness of the anti-war movement a decade ago was
that it fell into the trap of a "foreign policy" debate.
Seeking the lowest common denominator, people focused on the need for
using diplomatic means to achieve US goals, rather than on exposing
and opposing the US empire. Forces that did present a supposedly
"anti-imperialist" analysis mostly tried to portray Saddam
Hussein as a bulwark of anti-capitalist development. The connection
between the war and the totality of the imperialist system, including
the way it functions inside the U.S. itself, was not dealt with.
Recall that once the war was launched, there was in fact a massive,
jingoistic outpouring of support, especially to hail the conquering
heroes. Yellow ribbons appeared everywhere and in cities across the US
there were victory parades greeting the returning troops with crowds
far larger than any opposition march had been. Anti-war organizing
must take on, head-on, this identification with the empire. It must
challenge both the costs that the empire extracts from, and the
inducements it offers to, people in this country. Without this key
element, simply trying to expose how Saddam used to be the CIA's man
does little to motivate people to the sacrifices necessary to really
confront the war machine. The anti-war movement cannot perpetuate
illusions about democratic decision making in Congress or Democratic
opposition to war. The Congressional vote this year, like that in
1990, came to a foregone conclusion. Enough Democrats vote 'no,' once
passage is assured, to preserve the illusion of debate and 'loyal
opposition.' The war must be fought through forms of direct action,
resistance, education, and the development of the social and political
forces that can stop it. These lie outside of Congress and the
political parties of the rulers. We must take into account that the
empire began here, in the territories and among the people of America,
and it is here that it will ultimately be ended.
Racism, Police Brutality, and the War at Home
Even more critically, the anti-war movement against Desert Storm
failed to deal with the central issue of racism. This had several
manifestations. Here in Los Angeles, for example, the struggle over
the war practically coincided with the widely publicized police
beating of Rodney King. Yet the peace movement was invisible on the
issue of this manifestation of a "war at home." Although
there was some significant Black participation in peace rallies in
L.A., including several Black war resisters in the ranks of the
military, there was minimal white involvement in the justice struggle
to end police brutality.
More than 5000 people marched on the LAPD's Parker Center on Mother's
Day 1991 to protest the King beating and demand a house-cleaning with
top to bottom change at the LAPD, but the folks from "Another
Mother for Peace" or other white, west-side and student based
peace groups were not there. It was mostly a "Black
thing."
The fall-out from this failure of the peace movement to connect to the
issue of police abuse was profound for both issues and movements. The
white-dominated peace movement failed to make connections or sink
roots by linking the issue of militarism at home and abroad, despite
lip service to the theme of "peace and justice." It failed
to add its force to a push for radical social transformation and
community empowerment. As a result, the powers-that-be were able to
install a few minor cosmetic changes at LAPD, allowing Chief Gates to
stay in power for another year or more and for the cops who beat King
to be acquitted. Warren Christopher went from brokering a deal for
phony "reforms" in the LAPD to charting the course of the
empire as a king-maker and Secretary of State for Bill Clinton. And
the peace movement condemned itself to irrelevance.
Compare that to the high water mark and lasting impact of the
anti-war, anti-imperialist struggle at the time of the Vietnam War,
which was in many ways led and pushed by Black, Chicano and Asian
liberation forces in this country. Even a figure like Martin Luther
King, Jr. was clear that the struggle for justice and against war were
one and the same. He declared that the struggle against the war in
Vietnam had to be a struggle against the system that produced war or
we would simply be fighting a rear-guard action against another war in
short order. It was the Black Power movement that coined the slogan,
"Hell No! We Won't Go!" which set a standard of resistance
that galvanized anti-draft and anti-war protests. It was Muhammad Ali
who said, "No Viet Cong ever called me nigger." It was the
Chicano Moratorium that seared into people's consciousness the
visceral connection between racist police brutality and imperialist
war.
The anti-war movement today must follow that earlier example and
overcome the weaknesses of the movement against the first Gulf War in
this regard, or it is doomed to irrelevance.
In the USA PATRIOT law and the Homeland Security Department, in the
anti-immigrant crackdown and Operation Tarmac, and in LA police chief
William Bratton's definition of supposed gang violence as a 'national
security problem,' police repression and brutality are tightly
connected to the drive towards endless colonial wars around the globe.
The empire becomes ever more seamless. The "peace movement"
must address the needs, issues and leadership of the "peace
makers," the gang truce activists who are trying to bring peace
to their own communities, and assert community control over abusive
police. And clearly, anti-war activists must get ourselves organized
to protect ourselves from and defend against police abuse and
repression of political dissidents.
War and Fascism
The fourth and final aspect of a failure by the peace movement of the
early 90's to deal with racism and the nature of the system is
two-fold, and we are still seeing its repercussions. It has to do with
a failure to deal with fascist activity in the U.S. On the one hand,
racist and fascist elements seized on the war to present themselves as
opponents of the government and the Bush "New World Order,"
and thereby sought to infiltrate and recruit from the anti-war
movement. In Seattle, a member of the Lyndon LaRouche fascist network
took a position of leadership in the main anti-war coalition. In many
cities the John Birch Society as well as openly anti-Semitic forces
hiding behind Pat Buchanan, attempted to worm into peace rallies.
White Aryan Resistance leader Tom Metzger sent racist propaganda to US
soldiers in the Gulf. At the same time a wave of bigoted violence
broke out within the US, directed at both Arabs and Jews. These twin
phenomena have continued unabated to this day, in fact on a far larger
scale. They must be high-priority areas for the peace movement to act,
particularly in defense of immigrants targeted as scapegoats by both
the state and out-front racists. If the anti-war movement clearly
opposes the totality of the empire, defends the human rights and needs
of oppressed people around the world and inside the US, and struggles
for justice against racism and police abuse, it will clearly demarcate
opposition to the war based on a commitment to human liberation, from
the propagandistic posturing and racist scapegoating carried out in
war time by fascist forces. Neo-nazi groups in substantial numbers are
presenting themselves as opponents of the US war drive in order to
recruit disaffected young whites to their ranks. The anti-war,
anti-imperialist forces must be explicitly anti-racist, and also
explicitly revolutionary-minded, to effectively out-organize such nazi
formations.
We offer this analysis as a contribution to building a more powerful,
more effective and more revolutionary movement against the latest
phases in Bush's "endless war." We invite feedback and
criticism, and hope that by understanding and debating this history,
we can overcome the problems that hamstrung the anti-war efforts a
decade ago. Please respond to:

Subject: [ibogaine] What I have found regarding ibogaine &
crack cocaine
Status:
At Iboga Therapy House, we have found most
patients have this response that Booker noted:
>>>I took ibogaine I would say to myself, this is
so awful, I will never do this again and I will never recommend it to
anyone else. Then the afterglow kicks in and I love Iboga and
everyone else on the planet and I'm sold. Then that wears off and
I want to get high on opiates again so I take ibo again and
I'm saying I can't believe I did this again. In most cases, at least
from what I've read, Ibo trips AINT fun. So you get to trade the
lengthy withdrawals of opiate dependency for the hell of a few hours
in ibogaland. And hopefully learn SOMETHING that keeps leading
you into a more positive direction.<<<
Opiate dependent people are easier to help off
of opiates with ibogaine than crack cocaine addicts. People who want
to be treated for heroin are terrified of withdrawl and hate the
lifestyle, so they are highly motivated to quit via ibogaine, and we
have a good round of success with opiated addicted people. Their lives
still need revamping and reinvention from the ground up and thats a
challenge, but they have been very receptive to ibogaine
therapy.
The crack cocaine people we have treated have
taught me something, they don't really want to quit, they simply can't
afford to indulge in their vice any longer and come to us because the
finances of addiction have ruined them. They would still like to smoke
rock all day IF they had the money, so now that they have spent every
cent, borrowed, stolen, and burned all their bridges, now their family
is totally freaked, their dirty secret is out, pressure is on from all
quarters (family, friends, employer, partners, etc) to quit or
else. No one comes to me and says, "I have this addiction to
cocaine and I want to quit before I ruin my finances and alienate
everyone around me," they ONLY come to me when its
"I'm totally broke, my family is completely freaked, I've got to
quit..." (Because I can't afford to be hooked).
The fact is, as soon as they get money,
ibogaine or not, they want crack. My original supposition, that is, if
drugs were legal, crack would be cheap so it would NOT create these
financial crises in the addicts is correct. Better they have the drug,
get through this phase without the financial disaster attached, and
decide, when they are not pressured by financial & criminal
liabilities, to stop using (at all or as much). Prohibition is most of
their problem.
I found that if cocaine people are kept away
from cocaine AND money, they don't have a problem. There is no
physical withdrawl, its all mental. And they don't think much about
cocaine if they don't have any money and are no where near a place to
get cocaine. But give them money and put 'em near a source,
kiss the money goodbye, even if they just went weeks without
it almost effortlessly.
I have decided to change our regimen for crack
cocaine users to one large dose at the outset of treatment (so
the ibogaine freaks them into being serious) and then 20 - 30 days of
20 mg. of ibogaine hydrochloride daily. We shall see.
Also, I have this plant extract called Kratom
I want to experiment on crystal meth addicts (they actually don't want
to quit either, its the finances) and for bringing methadone users
down to lower levels.
I have also found that giving ibogaine to
patients with MS (multiple schlerosis) will make the MS act up shortly
after the ibogaine, although I would say they need to be advised of
this but should not deter iboga therapy. The MS flare-up brought on by
ibogaine lasts about 2 - 3 days.

Well, the biggest problem now comes in about whether
addiction is even a medical issue or "disease" anyway.
Ibogaine is just something a person who, as Patrick says, wants to get
"unsprung, " might try. It may or may not do that.
It will give you a "restart" button as far as opiate
tolerance goes and that's one of the neatest things about it. I
was so happy I could get high on a little bit of codeine instead of a
bunch of morphine, after my first ibo trip, so I guess ibogaine COULD
be abused in that sense...
However, every time I took ibogaine I would say to myself,
this is so awful, I will never do this again and I will never
recommend it to anyone else. Then the afterglow kicks in and I
love Iboga and everyone else on the planet and I'm sold. Then
that wears off and I want to get high on opiates again so I take
ibo again and I'm saying I can't believe I did this again. In
most cases, at least from what I've read, Ibo trips AINT fun. So
you get to trade the lengthy withdrawals of opiate dependency for the
hell of a few hours in ibogaland. And hopefully learn SOMETHING
that keeps leading you into a more positive direction.
If addiction isn't a disease, it doesn't need a cure.
If it is a very strange chronic condition ( I think of it like an
obsessive/compulsive disorder) who knows what will work.
Every single approach whether it's 12 steps, treatment, rehab,
ibogaine, or nothing at all, some people get "unsprung" and
some don't. Why that is is a total mystery to me anyway.
But having the option to try ibogaine I think would be of super value
and I support that totally. I also support giving heroin addicts
heroin like they do in some countries and let people find
their own way without all the hassle that "prohibition"
brings on. Raising kids in loving homes where we
learn to manage our feelings in a positive way, I think would be the
biggest deterent of all for all addictions. JMO. Thanks
for the interesting discussion anyway. Boy do I feel like
getting high today!!
Sandy again.

Status:
The woman I sent to see Sara Glatt thinks Sara does a great job! Sara
has
always been helpful to me.
We do ibo sessions for people largely for drug dependencies, but have
the
ibo available who have self-destructive repetitious behavious like
over-eating, anger outbursts. We haven't added spiritual awareness or
any
other ayahuasca type experiences yet to our program, since we do
not charge
for our service. Spiritual journeys are maybe in the future. I want
to
improve the quality of life for those who recognize a need to
change their
lives but who cannot find our kind of assistance.
I have three full time workers at Iboga House, a screener &
introductory
facillatator (gets your paperwork, health scans, all the routine,
etc
explained to prospective patients) and two facillitators who work at
the
Iboga House with the patients. I administer the iboga and
supervise the next
12 - 24 hours after administration, plus I determine the regimen
to be given
to the patient. We have two pianos, 2 guitars, art supplies,
exercise
equipment, a pastoral setting, lovely oceanside walks, a concerned,
loving,
not-yet jaded staff, a beautiful house where it all happens.
We provide a therapy that could be IndraDK extract, ethnogarden
extract, or
ibogaine hydrochloride, depending on what I think is best. It usually
is two
treatments, 7 - 30 days apart, but small daily doses for crack cocaine
abuse
has been included in the therapy.

I have gotten suggestions that MDMA could be helpful after ibogaine,

I have dosed more than 1,000 people in pure MDMA in my recent eight

and I have dosed over 200 people on DMT in the last 5 years (more

anyone else I know), but I haven't considered it an adjunct to the

I'm still exploring the vast potential and varieties of uses for

COCAINE SHORT-CIRCUITS PLEASURE, STUDY FINDS
NEW YORK - Chronic cocaine use harms brain circuits that help produce
the
sense of pleasure, which may help explain why cocaine addicts have a
higher
rate of depression, a study suggests.
It's not clear whether cocaine kills brain cells or merely impairs
them, or
whether the effect is reversible, said study author Dr. Karley Little.
But
it's bad news for cocaine addicts in any case, he said.
"I personally wouldn't want to lose 10 or 20 percent of my
reward-pleasure
center neurons, or have them just deranged or not working right,"
said
Little, of the Ann Arbor, Mich., Veterans Affairs Medical Center and
the
University of Michigan.
He and colleagues studied brain samples taken during autopsies
from
long-term, heavy cocaine users. Their results are reported in the
January
issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.
Little said the research did not reveal whether the brain
impairment
resulted from years of use or just recent use.
The research provides "a piece of the puzzle" in explaining
why cocaine
users run a higher risk of depression, said Dr. Deborah Mash, a
neuroscientist at the University of Miami School of Medicine.
It remains unclear whether cocaine causes depression or whether
people
start using the drug because they are depressed.

Subject: Problems and Inconsistencies...
To: dana@...
Status:
Dana:
(1) send the JAMA article here...and anything else
VERY IMPORTANT...
(2) Napa is DEFINITELY ON and wants to get the
leaflets as soon as possible with them on it! He also
should get some Ibogaine info, he is interested...
Bruce Trask, (707) 253-9295
1020 Soscol Ferry Road,
Napa, CA 94558
he will have an e-mail for contact soon...
(3)
All we have is a dead or misspelled e-mail address for
Charlotte, NC- OnThatLevel@... name "Ragan
Tolbert" (spelling?) I can find nothing for this...
Buffalo--neither of two spellings of the e-mail
contact work, left message on answering machine of
Phil Beavers...
Daingerfield - e-mail address rollinxoxo@...
bounces, apparently isn't good at all anymore...we
have a snail-mail address for "Johnny S. Chambliss"
only...
Germany - there are a few inconsistencies between our
printed material and cannabislegal.de:
http://www.cannabislegal.de/aktionen/mmm2003.htm
(1) phone number and e-mail for Bremen:
our 160 cities leaflet says "party@...,
0162-3399334 which is the number for Party-Project)
our contact list says the same as the cannabislegal.de
website. Hopefully both are good.
(2) Soltau - cannabislegal.de agrees with our mailing
list which is NOT what is on our leaflet: number
should be 05191-975296, spelling should be
vandreike@... (misspelled on our leaflet)
(3) Leipzig - I believe the contact should be
parade@...
Marburg isn't listed on our leaflet--is that
intentional?
(4) Cannabislegal.de has:
N¸rnberg
Kontakt: <emanuel@...> Tel. 0911-535433,
http://www.gj-bayern.de
NOT what we have on the leaflet.
(5) Munich/M¸nchen is listed on their site but isn't
on our leaflet--noone volunteered a phone number yet?

dana--as we both mention below, there is no www. at
the beginning of:

otherwise, please read. I talked to RJ, in 10 minutes
over there he should have usable graphics of a
reasonable size from what you guys had produced.

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:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cannabisaction
*MMM (Million Marijuana March) and Global Cannabis Action. Marches
and
rallies, the first Saturday in May of each year. Worldwide (since

Over 200
cities so far ... and counting!!! Other multi-city cannabis and
drug
reform events are covered, too. Email list public archive for
event info,
ideas, MMM 2002 rally reports, photo attachments, links, HTML web

there are links to archived messages, and to web pages with even
