Allow medical cannabis groups to continue without prosecution
and thought you would be interested in adding your support.

There is also a forum where you can talk about this petition and of course
many other worthy petitions that need your support.
Overview of this petition: -
There are more than three medical cannabis groups in the Uk supplying
those with illnesses such as MS and severe pain with cannabis to help
relieve pain that other medicines do not help. These groups operate
illegally and risk the constant fear of being arrested and imprisoned for
cannabis supply, however each group only supplys to real medical cases,
each patient must give written proof of such an illness from a doctor.
Many of the patients using this service have reported real improvement,
from re-use of disabled limbs, better sleep, improvement in pain relief
etc, the patients also fear arrest and there are many people who could be
using cannabis but will not because of its legal status. The government
changed the law so it could produce a cannabis medicine, this has now been
refused in the UK but accepted in Canada, leaving the patients of MS etc
in limbo, the product they were promised will not be available on the UK
market. Why should they have to break the law because of the governments
error, will the government allow their medical cannabis groups o continue
without risk of prosecution.

Hey Folks~~
Well, its that time of year again to gear up for the Philly
Million Marijuana March--as a matter of fact we're not alone!
This year The MMM will happen in over 125 cities around the
world including Vienna, New York, Osaka, Capetown, Tel Aviv,
Tallahassee and Vancouver--Eh!
So let your friends on all continents know that there is a
MMM happening in their neck of the woods and that they need
to get up off their smokin' arses and Walk the Walk.
Plans for Philly so far are to meet at the NE intersection
of Broad and South at 4PM on May 7 and take off by 4:20 to
stop at Headhouse Square. More info to come. I cannot encourage
smoking at the Philly MMM as I cannot bail anyone out of jail
or be held responsible for it. Should you choose to break the
law it will surely be because you are brave, however, you need
to beware that you are on your own. Sorry.
For a look at last year's Philly MMM get on www.evilchurch.net
and look through the movie listings. Also, would you please
consider giving a donation of $15 or more to Cures-Not-Wars in
New York City as they need help with shipping costs to send out
posters and flyers. Make any checks out to Cures-Not-Wars, and
heck, if you slip Dana a note I bet he'll send you some posters
and/or flyers to distribute in your community.

Marijuana Use Affects Blood Flow in Brain Even After Abstinence (especially when you smoke 350 joints a week)
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=19814
09 Feb 2005
People who smoked marijuana had changes in the blood flow in their brains even after a month of not smoking, according to a study published in the February 8 issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
The findings could explain in part the problems with thinking or remembering found in other studies of marijuana users, according to study authors Ronald Herning, PhD, and Jean Lud Cadet, MD, of the National Institute on Drug Abuse in Baltimore, Md.
The study involved 54 marijuana users and 18 control subjects. The marijuana users volunteered to take part in a month-long inpatient program. The blood flow velocity in brain arteries was tested with transcranial Doppler sonography in all participants at the beginning of the study and again at the end of the month for the marijuana users.
The blood flow velocity was significantly higher in the marijuana users than in the control subjects, both at the beginning of the study and after a month of abstinence from marijuana use. The marijuana users also had higher values on the pulsatility index (PI), which measures the amount of resistance to blood flow. This is thought to be due to narrowing of the blood vessels that occurs when the circulation system's ability to regulate itself is impaired.
"The marijuana users had PI values that were somewhat higher than those of people with chronic high blood pressure and diabetes," Herning said. "However, their values were lower than those of people with dementia. This suggests that marijuana use leads to abnormalities in the small blood vessels in the brain, because similar PI values have been seen in other diseases that affect the small blood vessels."
The PI values for light and moderate marijuana users improved over the month of abstinence. There was no improvement for heavy marijuana users. The light users smoked two to 15 joints per week. The moderate users smoked 17 to 70 joints per week, and the heavy users smoked 78 to 350 joints per week.
The American Academy of Neurology, an association of more than 18,000 neurologists and neuroscience professionals, is dedicated to improving patient care through education and research. A neurologist is a doctor with specialized training in diagnosing, treating and managing disorders of the brain and nervous system such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, autism and multiple sclerosis.

American Academy of Neurology________________________________Science Refutes Latest Marijuana And Cognition Claim
Washington, DC: Research published this week in the journal Neurology
speculating that marijuana's effects on the cerebrovascular system may
bring about residual cognitive deficits in longtime users is not
supported by the majority of available clinical evidence.
Numerous prior reviews of marijuana's potential impact on neurocognitiveperformance include:
A 2003 meta-analysis published in the Journal of the International
Neuropsychological Society that "failed to reveal a substantial,
systematic effect of long-term, regular cannabis consumption on the
neurocognitive functioning of users who were not acutely intoxicated;"
A 2002 clinical trial published in the Canadian Medical Association
Journal that determined, "Marijuana does not have a long-term negative
impact on global intelligence;"
A 2001 study published in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry that
found that long-term cannabis smokers who abstained from the drug for one
week "showed virtually no significant differences from control subjects
(those who had smoked marijuana less than 50 times in their lives) on a
battery of 10 neuropsychological tests." Researchers added, "Former
heavy users, who had consumed little or no cannabis in the three months
before testing, [also] showed no significant differences from control
subjects on any of these tests on any of the testing days;"
A 1999 clinical trial published in the American Journal of Epidemiology
that found "no significant differences in cognitive decline between heavy
users, light users, and nonusers of cannabis" over a 15-year period.
More recently, a study published last fall in the journal Psychological
Medicine examining the potential long-term residual effects of cannabis
on cognition in monozygotic male twins reported "an absence of marked
long-term residual effects of marijuana use on cognitive abilities."
In addition, a scientific review published earlier this month in the
journal Current Opinion in Pharmacology concluded, "There is little
evidence ... that long-term cannabis uses causes permanent cognitive
impairment. ... Overall, by comparison with other drugs used mainly for
'recreational' purposes, cannabis could be rated a relatively safe drug."

Cannabis To Be Tested As Crohn's Disease Treatment
Munich, Germany: Researchers at the University Hospital of Munich have
begun the first ever clinical patient trial examining the efficacy of
cannabis extracts as a treatment for Crohn's disease, according to a
press release issued by the hospital. Crohn's disease is a chronic
inflammation of the intestine, characterized by severe abdominal pain,
nausea, and weight loss.
Clinical research published last year by the Max Planck Institute for
Psychiatry in Munich found that cannabinoids prevent an experimental
inflammation of the colon in animals. Researchers in Italy had
previously speculated that modulating "the endogenous cannabinoid system
could provide new therapeutics for the treatment of a number of
gastrointestinal diseases," including gastric ulcers and Crohn's disease.

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/021105H.shtmlFrom: stevenconliff@...In Mexico people get upset if you call us Americans. "We're all Americans," they say. "You are Norte Americanos." Sometimes they add "gringo bastards," sometimes they don't. So if you were to burn a Mexican flag, you would also be burning an American flag. In 1980 at the Detroit Republican Convention Rock Against Racism concert, some fools nearly set off a riot by burning an Iranian flag. The Mexican street gangsters whose turf we were occupying thought it was a Mexican flag and intended to insult them. Moreover, when the police arrested their leader, they believed we were tools of the police, until we got their leader released, whereupon they believed the police were tools of us.
It's amazing how often the unthinkable happens. For instance, John Wayne once made a movie that didn't suck. It was called "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," from a Dorothy Johnson story. Liberty Valance was Lee Marvin, a jovial mad-dog gunman terrorizing a western town. See, most movie villains, you can't figure out why anyone would follow them. They're rude, insulting, paranoiac double-crossers. But old Liberty was a good idea just carried a little bit too far. Far enough to let Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne take over the county.
Once at a powwow I heard the arena master explain why the American flag always led the procession. "Almost all of us here have served or had relatives who served under that flag. But almost all of us also have had relatives who were killed, maybe massacred, by troops under that flag. What we can all agree on is, used for good or evil, that flag has become a powerful and magical symbol. It conjurs up strong emotions and should never be used lightly or thoughtlessly. So we should respect that."
When Abbie Hoffman wore a flag shirt and argued he was no less patriotic than Roy Rogers, America bought the argument. No one is buying the argument that it's not the flag their loved ones' coffins were draped in if it's missing a star or stripe, or that wise asses were respecting the sacrifice and supporting the troops by torching it. If you are in a situation where you want hardhats to attack you with two-by-fours, by all means, flag-burning will accomplish that. You have the same right to do that that Liberty has to tap-dance on the bar, and I won't run for Congress on the platform it should or should not be legal. But I will promise you that John Wayne is waiting in the shadows with a scattergun. -sc

What is Ibogaine?Ibogaine, derived from the African root Tabernanthe iboga, has a novel mechanism of action that is different from other pharmacotherapeutic approaches to addiction. Relevant issues to be addressed by this forum include the distinctive social and ethnographic aspects of the informal ibogaine treatment context, its cost-effectiveness as a treatment option, and the policy implications of ibogaine's status as a Schedule 1 substance. Ibogaine is currently without formal approval as a treatment option in the U.S. However, a distinctive unofficial treatment network, created by international self-help movements in response to the demand of the addicts, has provided ibogaine treatment in non-medical settings such as an apartment or country house. Participants in this forum will represent the basic and clinical neurosciences, the disciplines of ethnography and sociology, and the FDA, NIDA and the pharmaceutical industry. The promotion of discussion and exchange of information and views among the participants receives significant emphasis in the forum program and agenda. Topics to be covered include ibogaine's mechanism of action, safety and efficacy, interaction with memory and neurophysiology, and ethnographic and policy perspectives. The proposed presenters have accumulated significant new data on neurobiological, clinical, and sociocultural aspects of ibogaine.

Feb 3, 2005 2:12 pm US/Pacific
(CBS 5) For millions of people who suffer from alcoholism and drug addiction, rehabilitation is a long painful struggle.
For Greg Douglass, being a rock star and being a drug addict seemed to go hand and hand.
"Monday, discovered heroin. Tuesday, started making more money. Wednesday, started making a lot more money, which of course buys a lot more drugs. It was an ill-timed career move," he says.
The Oakland native was a guitarist for the likes of Steve Miler, Van Morrison, and the Greg Kihn Band, playing to huge crowds. He even wrote the hit single "Jungle Love" for the Steve Miller Band. But eventually, the bright lights came crashing down around him.
"During 1977 -- top of the charts, playing in front of 100,000 people at a time," Douglass says. "Ten years later I was virtually homeless living in my car."
Douglass struggled with heroin and methadone addiction for decades until two years ago, when he discovered a different kind of drug in a clinic just over the San Diego border. The drug could help him kick his addictions with a single treatment. It was called ibogaine.
"I went to the clinic in Mexico and took ibogaine once, and everything changed," Douglass says. "Twenty-year addiction to opiates, heroin, methadone, you name it, ended in one eight-hour period."
Even more startling is the drugs' origins. Ibogaine is an ancient root found in the jungles of Africa, where it's been used for centuries in tribal rituals. Researchers believe it contains chemical properties that may affect key receptors in the brain.
"We think it is very powerful in terms of blocking cravings and helps individuals during the early stages of recovery," says Dr. Deborah Mash of the University of Miami.
A new study conducted with rats and mice at U.C. San Francisco found further evidence that ibogaine may have a similar effect combating alcohol abuse. So if the drug has so much promise, why is it illegal here in the United States? Possibly because of something that Douglass also experienced in the clinic in Mexico. Ibogaine causes hallucinations.
"All of the sudden, I was laying there with my eyes closed and a huge whoosh of red light, little particles of red plankton. Then from out of that was a picture of my own face when I was 11 years old," Douglass says. "When I opened my eyes, I was in Mexico. I knew exactly where I was. I knew what day it was. I knew why I was there. I would close my eyes and I would be in a whole other world."
But far from being a controversial side effect, Mash believes that the hallucinations may be beneficial.
"It is a psychotropic drug, mind altering," she says. "I say we ware replacing a negative with a positive. If this is a spiritual wake up call, bring it on. If this helps the individual grab the demon and motivates them to work with a counselor and to stay in treatment, who cares if it is mind altering. It is mind altering and it is a good thing that it is."
But the stigma of a hallucinogenic drug made it hard for Mash to find the funding. So she was forced to move her clinical trials offshore. While the FDA still doesn't allow ibogaine use in the U.S., a growing number of patients are receiving treatment in clinics like the one we visited in Mexico.
"I feel great," said Wilda Penney, an alcoholic. "Hopefully I can get on with my life."
Despite the promise of ibogaine, there are still some hurdles. Critics worry about potentially lethal side effects and lack of long-term studies. Still, the early results are so encouraging, Mash has found enough money to start FDA trials again in the spring. The cost of a typical treatment with ibogaine runs anywhere from $3000 to $10,000.
"If there is anybody out there listening to this, there is hope," Douglass said. "Ibogaine changed everything. It is not a miracle cure, but it worked for me."
--------------------------From:dana@... Subject:[Ibogaine] Science, not a Cult
I don't usually comment on every topic on the list, but my actions and words were cited (semi-inaccurately) in the Peter Cohen thread, so here goes. Peter and his ilk have blacklisted me in legalization circles for more than a decade based on his arguments, so it was telling that he ducked out of the room so he wouldn't have to go on in his assigned order, which would given me a chance to refute his screed point by point.
Peter Cohen Wrote:
...my short-too short- argument in Nw Orelans was that using ibo is not much else than using methadone or some other drug or treatment, to excorcise these 'diabolical' drugs and use-patterns some people seem to attach to.
The position that "all drugs are created equal" and that different drug effects and addictiveness don't matter is every bit as ignorant and bigoted coming from a legalizer as from the twelvesteppers who say "ibogaine is just drug, all drugs are the same." Peter displays absolutely no sensitivity to the fact that in the U.S., methadone represents the establishment, and that Ibogaine is illegal, and stigmatized solely because it's "hallucinogenic." Or that methadone is an exquisite instrument of social control, and that Ibogaine frees you from that control.
I think that our main fight should be to fight for self determination in the choice of drug we like, and the way we use it ( given we do not harm others more than the normal amount). Its the same fight that started in the Enlightment for freedom of religeon ( quite unthinkable even in the times of Calvin and still a weird and ultra dangerous idea in the 17th century and now in e.g. Iran
Like most European intellectuals, Peter is so ultra-secular that he is quite bent out of shape on the subject of religion (still recovering from the Spanish Inquisition, I guess). His use of the word "Cult" to describe the ibogaine movement was particularly obnoxious, given that it is calculated to provoke an official crackdown by the Bushoids.
But, the ibogaine game puts us in the same league as these weird addiction doctors that need to cure us. Just today I bought a 1948 book about the cure of homosexuality. Imagine a group of people who said USE IBOGAINE TO GET RID OF YOUR (CURSED) HOMOSEXUALITY.
They always trot this one out... This red herring was so effective in '94 in derailing support in ACT UP for NIDA's own inhouse trial of Ibogaine (which, as distinct from Mash, was our only guarantee of a reasonable development timeline and transparency of results) that I suppose Cohen and his camp will never stop using it. There was possibly one half of a degree of separation between Ernie Drucker and John Morgan at the DPF and Dan Raymond and Donald Grove of the HRC at the time, so there's no doubt this inflammatory bullshit leaked over to the ACT UP floor. On the floor, Raymond and Grove described the position of the Cures not Wars Parade (i.e, the Dutch model, with an emphasis on market separation of cannabis and hard drugs--PLUS ibogaine) as "the potheads get their pot, and all anyone else gets is ibogaine." (Which would be a major advance, when you think about it--but we also called explicitly for legalization of personal use amounts of ALL drugs.)
(Actually, a medically discussed 1948 method of cure was to inhale a mixture of some gasses-right after the war!!-,can you imagine how short ago maxi primitive ideas reigned about homosexuality!)
Ironically, the same people who voted to throw us out 10 years ago are now looking for ways to stop binge crystal meth/unsafe sex. The recent finding about ibogaine upregulating the glial cell-line derived neurotropic factor that blocks binge behavior confirms that ibogaine ought to work for that, as I told Duncan Osbourne of GAY CITY NEWS. But Osbourne is another ACT UP alumnus, so he supports the original 1994 decision, and takes the position that there is no more effective medical treatment for cyrstal meth addiction than wellbutrin--that if you say ibogaine is any better than an SSRI, you're talking "miracle drug", and there's no such thing. Kind of ironic that the people currently getting enough money to FINISH testing ibogaine, and spending it on the "Crystal free and Sexy" ad campaign instead, voted against ibogaine back in '94, went on to get addicted to crystal, and ended up contracting a more more drug-resistent form of HIV...
We should have the right to use heroin or cocaine or whatever in any way we like for any duration, and we should not be forced into abstinence by a cumulation of social misery put upon us by a culture that for some reason I do not discuss here has created intense drug users into lepers, nuking their pride and self esteem.
What if drug users don't WANT heroin and cocaine? What if they'd chose a completely different menu of drugs if they could determine what was being produced instead of the Mexican mafia or Afghan warlords? We had a fullblown crystal epidemic in 1966--and then Owsley flooded the country with acid, and suddenly crystal became a problem only for the fringes of the drug scene.
So, fighting for ibo treatment is saying: we miserable creatures need treatment, only please let US choose the miracle treatment we attribute healing to.
But Facts are stubborn things, as I told Peter in the hall after the forum. Ibogaine heals, methadone makes yr teeth fall out. Different drugs have different effects, even though Peter replied that he never takes any of that neurochemical stuff seriously. Ibogaine was developed by the druggies themselves as an act of self-determination.
I say, fight first and foremost for the right to use drugs as long as we want in the amount and system we want ,against a State that maintains intense drug users as witches to be chased and burned. And for which the ibo clan now makes ibogaine available to burn on.
More appropriate was his comparison of ibogaine to exorcism. If it really is possible to replicate the physical processes in the brain induced by exorcism, what should be appropriate that it be controlled by drug users' movements instead of Jesuits?
Once we have this right, we will of course also have the right to seek any kind of assistence if we need help to change our ways,just as we seek assistence in any way if we somehow can not divorce this husband or wife we hate.
But this assistence only makes sense if divorce is not prohibited, as it was in christian Europe well into the 20th century in many countries for most (the rich excepted).
So like the Marxists, Cohen says that things have to become really terrible so that the system is overthrown--before they can become better-- no matter that the suffering that is going on right at this movement is totally unnecessary. The important thing is that his position be vindicated.
I see the ibo clan as a miserable symptom of defeat. As if they say lets not burn witches on a ( normal) stake, but in an (alternative) clay oven. I also said once that I see the ibo people as DEA agents,serving the cause of prohibition because their theme is getting rid of these 'ultra dangerous' drugs.
So now I'm a DEA agent! I see Cohen, Stanton Peele, Ernie Drucker and so-on as blackening our reputation so they can preserve their professional monopoly on the big bux from George Soros and Peter B. Lewis while we get squat to put on the forum at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. BTW, Patrick told me Allan Clear tried to get Peele to come to New Orleans, but he wanted too much money. All our people show up for free. But for Stanton Peele, it's just his career.
Now, most of the ibo clan people I know are sincere folk, likeable and smart. My anger is not so much focussed on them, but on their defeatist voodoo ideology.
I dunno. The straight left (ACT UP was taken over by Workers' World) isn't doing as well right now as we are. Lynn Stewart was just convicted for helping blind Sheik communicate with his followers in Egypt; Deborah Mash just resumed FDA-approved trials of Ibogaine. Lemme see-- Us forcing to system to legalize ANY psychedelic drug (even one as weird as ibogaine) doesn't sound defeatist to me. Not compared to going to prison.
But then I was never big on the heroin solution anyway.
Tell me what you think and where I am not clear enough.

Wrong! After he told me neurochemistry is irrelevant, and I said facts are stubborn things, I patted him on the back and said (in my best Hail Fellow Well-met voice) "Admit it, Peter, you support prohibition of Ibogaine!" And he does, because he seeks to ban it from discussion at legalization forums, to cast this pall over it so as to hamstring any movement to legalize it in the U.S. (the onlybig country where it's illegal, and one pushing to prohibit everywhere else, as was just done in Denmark because Indra was sending it directly into the U.S.)
Sara wrote:
Peter Cohen is good for legalization of drugs.
For the rest he had no understanding of how Iboga works
Because he can't know until he will try it, and if he will than for sure
He will change his mind, but I guess he likes the party drugs better.
Anyway because Iboga/ine is presented as a medication and not as a sacrament
and a spiritual tool, then he gets to see only one side of the picture,
I'm sure that if it was presented as an amazing trip to the unknown
Then it will get another spot light.
When I speak to him I tell him , he should try it before judge it.
Actually I think he's bad for legalization. He is, for instance, also against the Dutch separation of marijuana and hard drugs, because he said so when I tried to ask him where Dutch gov't fact sheets originated describing the decline of heroin use after the adoption of the current system. If you can't even tolerate personal use amounts of grass, forget about personal use amounts of everything else. What he seems to be for is market anarchy without the social benefit of regulation--which never will help you sell any liberalization of the drug situation to the politicians. Or as I said to Donald Grove, does that mean that wherever marijuana and hashish are present, cocaine and heroin must be allowed also? Or that you hand over control of the marijuana market to people who will use the money to feel their habits, while turning on all their customers to smack?
Howard wrote:
I was called out of the session during the period that Dana is reported to
have yelled at Peter and therefore cannot comment on that except to speculate
that Dana's yelling may have been method of responding to Peter's method of
initiating discussion of ibogaine by confrontation. It is all process and if it
gets people thinking, all the better.
The reason Howard never saw it was that it never happened. I think he may have actually walking down the hall with us when I was talking to Peter, so he wouldn't have seen any yelling, because there was none.
I admit being peeved that Peter dodged any actual debate. His rap would have focused my presentation on Ibogaine since 1990, which would have shortened it at least 40%.
Steve Anker wrote:
Dana - genious idea: do your own little initiation at the up-coming conference? The night before recreate as close a Bwiti initiation as possible, get twenty or so folk who have done it, pick a father, and take the plunge. I mean, what a cool place to do it and how often in NYC are there that many people who have been there all gathered together? Hell, I'd leave my wife, daughter and a temperate climate for a weekend in cold and misery to hear you talk about it. I'd be honored to be there while you go through it.
I was ready to do it in November, but my dose was hijacked by a relapsing junkie. It always goes that way. I certainly don't want the $4,000 operation. But I won't be able to do it in the next 9 days, not unless you want to pay for some plane fares, Steve.

Nick, I am not sure I understand you.
You say

Please explain.
Nick is actually atypical on the list, in backing the social "encouragement" of people to quit. Cohen, on the other hand, is a utopian anarchist. Myself, I'm a marijuana bolshevik, advocating that all soft drugs scenes separate themselves from hard drugs by pushing ibogaine.
Then, you are right that cutting off your feelings diminishes power people can have, but some feelings do so much more! Sometimes cutting the feelings may be a very healthy act, like cutting the physical pain people have when for instance, they have serious cancers.
I would agree that doing it longer than really needed may be counterproductive, and most people ense this and quit. Some way!

Why not ibogaine?
Hi Peter,
I guess I wanted to point out, firstly, that it is hard to fight particularly for the right to use opiates unless one is not under the influence of the same. Apologies for not stating this more clearly. Secondly, and more generally, that, as I see it, you are promoting the rights of the individual to use any drug of choice but without much apparent concern for the addictive nature of some of these drugs.
Not exactly harm reduction.
For me, it's one thing to say people should have the right to access to psychedelics, for example tryptamines, drugs having a relatively low level of physically addictive characteristics. But another to say that people should just have constant access to analgesics, such as opiates, whenever they want without regard for the highly physically addictive nature of these drugs.
In the U.S., all that is allowed is methadone, buprenorphin, and SSRI's. No pot, no psychedelics, except peyote for Native Americans. People who want to change this are every bit as utopian as the 12 step fascists and the utopian libertarians, you understand. We just want a different outcome.
Basically, underneath this, I do not understand your stance on ibogaine, a substance that can reverse unwanted drug usage. Can you make your position more clear? You have something against this substance?
About pain control, for sure opiates or any other medication are great for as long as needed.
Regards
Nick
His stance on Ibogaine is simple: it has always threatened to take over the legalization agenda, and to make all his favorite arguments obsolete. Why-- he might actually have to read up on neurochemistry. I remember one ibo forum at the Lindesmith Center: Ethan Nadelmann literally had to be told by everyone in the room that they wanted to continue the presentation on neuro-chem when he tried to stop it because he didn't understand it and he was getting bored. They're all the same.
Randy wrote:
I'm with you Sara. I figure the only way is to get the word out and make public demand so loud that Ibogaine can't be denied access to. It just seems so ludicrous that the government will subsidize Methadone, and then deny the only thing that helps you beat the addiction. Not to mention the easiest way for all prescription opiate addictions. That's just the legal drugs I'm talking about. What about Heroin? I'm not talking about fixing every addict, I'm talking about the ones who wanted out, like me. I often wonder how many people are sitting around thinking, " I wish I could quit doing this shit to myself," and don't know a thing about Ibogaine? They need to know that they have a choice. A good choice, the best choice I could find anyway, and I looked hard, very hard. If enough people are successful doing Ibogaine then it just can't be ignored anymore. For addicts that want to interrupt their addiction, the longer they have to wait, the longer they have to suffer needlessly. That just sucks. Looking back at my treatment I would have done it just for the addiction interruption aspects of Ibogaine, but man those trails were cool and the Holideck was incredible. I hope they never take the trip out of Ibogaine. I'm afraid that Steve is right. Randy
I guess the ones who want out will just have to go on being cannon fodder in Peter's war of ideas. Too bad real people suffer and die. But for these academics, it's a living.
Cures not Wars has a simple three part program:
1) Turn control of all aspects of drugs policy including law enforcement over to ibogaine proponents. The other people had their chance, and they muffed it.
2) National Service (a draft) for all opponents of ibogaine and cannabis, in a kind of a cross between the peace corps and the civilian conservation corps.
3) Focus the effort on reversing global warming through water reclamation projects, replacing trees with hemp, etc. Tax every entity that had cannabis prohibition to pay for it.
