SUV'S AND DRUGS NOT TIED TO TERRORISM
Ads Convey Convoluted Messages On Money
Last January, pundit Arianna Huffington and a Hollywood think-tank called
The Detroit Project released a pair of ads linking SUV ownership with
terrorism. The ads appeared for six days in Detroit; Washington, D.C.; New
York; and Los Angeles. One of the ads about a hypothetical SUV owner named
"George" describes the flow of money from an SUV owner's high gas bills at
the pump, to a rich Saudi oil baron, to the hands of al Qaeda via
contributions to terrorist organizations, like the charitable contributions
that ended up in the hands of 9/11 hijackers.
The ads seem a bit unfair.URL: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v03.n181.a06.html*****!!! May 4, 2002 Cannabis Liberation Day: Updates, Reports!!!*****From: Blair Anderson <blair@...>

Status:Hi Dana,Thank you for keeping me informed on the 'Free Ed Rosenthal' Protests.In support both of Ed and for a **local fellow who was sentenced last week to 30 months staring at the walls for cultivating and supplying 'free' medical pot to his brother and mother.. I vigil'ed our local Court House this Wednesday morning handing out copies of "My Dad is not a Criminal" poster as currently featured on billboards in California.** see http://www.mildgreens.com/reports/eatdope.jpg (130kb)Bringing the story to local radio, and community newspapers, was "part of the mission", but to bring home how immediate the impact of these laws are to us all, while handing out material on the MMM I recognised a face in the crowd awaiting their turn before the magistrate. It was my friendly "pump jockey" from our local petrol station. A young man of pleasant disposition and smile... whom had been busted - narc'ed on by a young christian woman who, in the company of friends observed the social (and all parties willing) sharing of the herb. Having the young mans address, and wanting to live on a better street in heaven, she reported him to the community police.This seemingly innocuous event, led to the assembly of ten (10) constabulary, who courageously defended the public good by turning up 'full force' at the address given, and viciously "turned over" the landlord and his private premises... before discovering their error and then procedded to courteously wreck this young mans rented "sleep out" in the search for his stash... they found two undisguised frost bitten plants of dubious merit, a pipe, and various cannabis culture paraphernalia and charged him with cultivation, supply, possession, possession of equipment for engaging in illegal acts etc.. etc...This is his second offence, the first being for a pipe, and no cannabis, left by a friend.It is not likely that he will do time.. being a young'un, but it is patently obvious to all concerned that he has already been tried in the court of social duress having now lost his digs at considerable personal cost, lost his friends and is angrier than all hell.. at a system that abuses its youth.He is yet to face the music... but as he has a 'prior' - it is likely that as a recidivist 'drug addict', his whole truth will not be believed.And we wonder why our (kiwi) kids commit suicide in world record breaking droves....I am glad to have made my point today in support of Ed Rosenthal, but remain constantly challenged by the magnitude and scale of the problem at hand... and how close we all are to being home invaded at the discretion of those for whom this law provides the perfect cover to be a prat!Judge Breyer, John Ashcroft and this young woman and the ten police and are no different, all bullies protected by skirt of prohibition!The real victims are this young man, his innocent landord, Ed Rosenthal and his countless beneficiaries and all of society.I am happy to have been the first this day to have protested as only one can.--------From: Ernesto Blume <ernesto@...>

A Peek Behind the Rosenthal Grand Jury Veil: Manipulation Rampant
By Daniel Forbes - for DrugWar.com
Ed Rosenthal
February 4, 2003
Groping for an indictment of Ed Rosenthal from a California grand jury veering out of control, Assistant U.S. Attorney George L. Bevan, Jr sought some reply to a rebellious grand juror who'd just argued that most of the jury had probably voted for the state's 1996 medical marijuana initiative. Said this official of a federal government currently running roughshod all over California, "Whatever, that's good."
And then this federal prosecutor admitted: "The fact of the matter is it allows marijuana for your personal use and - to be cultivated, and if you are the primary caregiver."
Had Bevan made such a statement during Rosenthal's actual trial, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer would have immediately stifled him.
At another point Bevan added, "the supply side of the equation, okay, is not protected under California law. The only thing that's covered is if you can grow your own - okay? Or you're sick, and there's some criteria, as you all know, that certain diseases are specified, like cancer." Along with the specified illnesses, there's also a provision for doctors' open-ended recommendations.
Having sought to reassure the grand jury with that, Bevan later told it, though he noted the law forbids it, "[A]t least in the environment in this district, probably nothing would happen to you. If you go in right now with a card in the Cannabis clubs, you know, you're probably okay."
You're okay for the next week or month maybe, or as long as you can find a club open and with some medicine in stock.
Decrying what he views as the misperception that "somehow Prop. 215 gave a free pass to a lot of activity," Bevan asserted that "you look at the conduct that's specifically protected, it's fairly narrowŠ." His boss, also a federal official, might feel that no conduct, narrow or broad is protected, but let them sort it out.
Jon Pickette, the Drug Enforcement Administration agent ostensibly testifying in response to Bevan's questions - though at times Bevan seemed reluctant to yield the floor - tried to rescue Bevan, soon reminding the grand jury: "And also, I think it's important to mention that under Prop. 215, you cannot sell marijuana. And despite all of that, it's still against federal law."
With perfect timing, a juror immediately complains: "Well, you can understand our confusion then."
In the teeth of Bevan's reply that there's no cause for confusion, one juror tries to help, saying that while the clubs might be "allowed to operate in our, what we call, 'liberal' cities," someplace like Bakersfield would draw the line.
As Bevan's joke about the "founding fathers in Bakersfield" - though why he's bringing up the long departed I don't know - no doubt falls flat, DEA Agent Pickette attempts another rescue. He reminds the grand jury: "And I think that another important point is that it is against federal law, and there's a recent Supreme Court decision," etc.
At another point, one grand juror summarized their conundrum neatly. If state law, this juror asked, established the clubs "to provide medicinal marijuana to people who get an okay from some public entity to go in and buy doses of marijuana - where are these Cannabis clubs supposed to acquire their inventory for disbursement?"
Saying that Rosenthal had been growing pot in the middle of Oakland, this juror added: "They don't seem to be hiding anything."
(Indeed, Rosenthal had a city inspector come by to check his wiring.)
Bevan leaped in, saying, "Let me answer that question. It's a good question." And, after his endorsement of Prop. 215 that began this article, he stated that "a cannabis club does not have the authority under state law to distribute Cannabis or marijuana."
(Technically that's true: only patients and their caregivers are exempt under 215. They have interpreted that to mean they can join together in clubs to facilitate obtaining medicine.)
The U.S. Attorney's office declined comment beyond the legal papers cited below.
Public Lamentations
Unlike grand jurors, regular jurors can't ask questions. But, when they actually learn the truth outside the halls of justice, they can protest. Though overawed by the majesty of the federal trial of pot botanist Ed Rosenthal in San Francisco, several jurors, including the foreman, will call today publicly for a new trial, charging they were misled into convicting him. As juror Marney Craig told Alternet's Ann Harrison, "What happened was a travesty, and it's unbelievable, unbelievable that this man was convicted. I am just devastated. We made a terrible mistake, and he should not be going to prison for this."
Such novel public lamentations please reporters, but they come a day late and more than a dollar short for Rosenthal. Yet the drug-reform community should not castigate these citizens too harshly. For odd as it may seem to patients dependent on medical marijuana to ease their pain, these jurors, regular folks - noncombatants in the war on drugs - truly had no knowledge of who Rosenthal is.
Said Keith Stroup, Executive Director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, "There's was enormous good will for Ed. But if jury nullification didn't work for him, I don't think it's much of an option beyond a patient who's just growing a couple of plants. After all, the judge is sitting up there on an elevated platform with the American flag behind him, telling jurors when they can come and go. It takes a strong-willed individual." He added that any strategy from here on out has to reflect the fact that "the feds are playing hardball."
Judge Breyer's stranglehold on the truth had them believe he was a big-time drug dealer, in it solely for the money. Never mind the inconvenient fact that the city of Oakland had officially charged the well-known cultivation columnist and advocate with growing medicine so spastic patients in wheelchairs wouldn't have to risk arrest on street corners seeking expensive and maybe ineffectual pot.
(Agent Pickette told the grand jury that while the street price for the pot Rosenthal was supplying patient dispensaries was "about $6600 per pound on the street market," he was actually supplying it for "right around $3200.")
Castigate these citizens not, led by the nose as they were. As regular juror, Marney Craig, told Harrison, "I didn't know what would happen to us if we didn't follow the rules, how much trouble I would get into." She added, "I was totally intimidated into going along with the verdict because I didn't see any other way."
Unlike Craig and her eleven colleagues, back last February - following the raid commemorating DEA chief Asa Hutchinson's descent that day on San Francisco - the grand jurors deciding on whether to unleash a federal prosecution on Rosenthal got to poke their noses into things - or at least ask some questions.
One thing they worried about was where that wheelchair-bound soul who can't grow her own would get her medicine.
One grand juror expressed confusion about just where patients with "one of the four classifiable diseases to use it medicinally" were to get their medicine. She was following Bevan's lead regarding, as he put it, "certain disease are specified, like cancer."
Remarkably enough, this visionary assistant U.S. attorney cited a judge's opinion which, "from what I can recall, he mentioned getting it overseas." That not quite sounding right in his ears, Bevan trailed off marvelously: "I think there's a reference there. And it's - he had a couple of - you know, I guess it was just brainstorming on his part."
Seeking to reassure any jurors concerned about pain and suffering, Bevan asked, "Is it correct, Agent Pickette, that when a narcotics search takes place, they would actually leave a certain number of plants there?"
Without choking, Pickette replied, "Right, they would leave some."
Tell that to Valerie Corral, whose garden was destroyed last fall.
Indicating that Rosenthal himself was the target, Bevan added, "We have not sought to shut down the operations of the club. Indeed, from as near as I've heard -"
And Pickette pipes up: "It is open and operating." Bevan concurs.Rosenthal attorney William M. Simpich laughed at that, telling me the feds seized just about everything, including cannabis and patient records, inside the Harm Reduction Center and left the doors gaping open for squatters to move in and take over.
As Pickette testified regarding the fact that the marijuana was, in fact, sold (albeit he'd stated previously, at less than half the street price), a grand juror asked, "For medical reasons, though, right?"
And Pickette answered affirmatively.
Said another juror back last February: "It seems these people [the defendants] thought they were growing this under some cover of legitimacy from the state."
The DEA agent testifying replies: "Yes." Best it was to keep it short.
Referring to another criminal case, Bevan told the grand jury that, following the Supreme Court decision on the federal lack of a medical necessity defense, that, "the judge excluded any reference to why the plants were being grown Š the 'why' that plants are being grown is irrelevant under federal law." Bevan stated that this other defendant tried to raise a medical defense, "and I objected and that objection was sustained. But it was out there. I can't speak for the jurors as to what they figured out, but -."
Realizing he was treading on shaky ground, Bevan interrupted himself to add: "And I would submit to you, not that - and I would tell you don't be persuaded in any sense by - by that example [of the medical defense], other than I'm trying to answer honestly whether this case blazes trails."
Nationwide press coverage, including a stinging editorial condemning the conviction in today's New York Times (2/4/03), would indicate the Rosenthal case's importance.
Seeking to direct matters away from medicine and towards the view that Rosenthal is a common, mercenary drug dealer, Bevan immediately promulgated the notion that "we prosecute growers." And, "most of the growers we have in our inventory [for Bevan's is indeed a business - larger and more powerful and better armed than most, but a business nonetheless] are up in the boondocks, they're in Mendocino, Humboldt CountyŠ."
Then, tying Rosenthal to such feral, outlaw grows, Bevan then discussed one of his products: "Humboldt Hash."
Never mind that Rosenthal was growing out of a warehouse in Oakland near City Hall.
Duly convinced, one grand juror helpfully connected the dots: "What's different about this case is that, you know, simply the venue. These people are in the Bay Area; they're not up in Mendocino and Humboldt County."
Another juror demurred: "I mean, it's located on a city street at a business locationŠ."
A (Doomed?) Motion to Dismiss
Transcripts of the grand jury proceeding surfaced when the government felt the need to call Agent Pickette to the stand, thus opening up his testimony, along with Bevan's commentary - or co-testimony - to the defense.
Having obtained it last week, the defense filed a motion dated 1/28/03 to dismiss the grand jury indictment. Failing that, it requested the entire grand jury transcript be made available. It requested a delay in the proceedings, but Judge Breyer indicated that he could rule on the defense motion even after the jury returned its verdict. During the trial the judge emblazoned his view in neon letters writ large across the sky, therefore his ruling might be anticipated. But the defense feels the grand jury proceedings do add to what they consider already ample grounds for appeal.
As to the defense motion to dismiss filed by attorneys Robert V. Eye and William M. Simpich, it states that, "Otherwise, any reasonable prosecutor knew that this grand jury would never indict Mr. Rosenthal," it argued that "the prosecutor led the grand jurors to believe" a number of legal fictions.
Rosenthal's lawyers asserted that the prosecutor, with his talk of leaving plants behind and not shutting clubs down, pretended patients maintained access to their medicine. Such testimony "was designed to lead the jurors to falsely believe that federal law offered a 'shelter' for patients and small caregivers."
As indicated above, the defense asserted that the government seized the resources the Harm Reduction Center used to operate. (Rosenthal had been growing medicine for HRC under the auspices of the City of Oakland.) And the government left the HRC doors open so that squatters moved in. The center was no longer operable.
They also charged that Bevan never indicated to the grand jury that federal law "trumped" state law. As the motion states, "The prosecutor sowed confusion about the role of federal and state laws in order to ensure he got an indictment." Additionally, "His message on state law made it sound like federal and state law were in harmony, and that the Defendant was liable under either theory." Obviously that was not the case under California law.
In addition, Simpich and Eye contended that Bevan "made it sound like the patients were protected." They cite his statements regarding the prosecution of growers and the law against distribution, not possession.
And, they charged, the prosecutor implied that some sort of medical defense would be available to the defendant. (For his part, Agent Pickette was pretty declarative about federal law and the Supreme Court ruling against a federal medical necessity defense.)
What's more, the defense contended that Bevan actually acted as an unsworn witness and that, "Such an action is even greater error when the prosecutor testifies and then remains in the grand jury room as the presenting attorney."
Eye and Simpich's motion added that, whether sworn or unsworn, such testimony is even worse "when the prosecutor-witness misstates the facts - as occurred here with the prosecutor's claim that there was no 'shutdown' of the Harm Reduction Center; the reference that the HRC was 'Rosenthal's club'; and Mr. Bevan's statement that codefendant [Ken] Hayes was acquitted due to [San Francisco District Attorney Terence] Hallinan's testimony and feigning surprise at the use of a 'medical defense.'"
Summing up, they quoted prior case law from a 1998 case (United States v. Siriprechong N.D. Cal. 1998): "that courts have the authority to dismiss an indictment that is the product of a grand jury process so flawed that the grand jury's independence has been infringed." Finally, quoting another case, (United States v. Sigma Intern., Inc. 11th Cir 2001) "the ultimate issue is not the propriety of [the prosecutor's] conduct, but whether that conduct, under the circumstances, abrogated the independence of the grand jury."
In reply, Bevan veritably scoffed at the defense motion, asserting that, lacking manifest misconduct, grand juries are not subject to review by the courts. That is, "the grand jury is an institution separate from the courts, over whose functioning the courts do not preside."
Bevan also stated that rather than testifying, his (lengthy) comments "were given in direct response to grand juror's questions, and were never presented as sworn evidence."As to any misstatement of fact regarding the HRC's shutdown, Bevan wrote, "The prosecutor's comments were merely an echo of the previous sworn testimony of Agent Pickette. Regarding providing legal advice, Bevan maintained his only obligation was to "be accurate and not deliberately misleading." As to all the back and forth regarding state and federal law, he claimed, "Indeed, the defendant is not alleging that the grand jury was improperly instructed as to federal law." Rather, the contention regards only state law. And he cited one statement that he made and one that Pickette made regarding the supremacy of federal law. The defense would point to several other statements on state law.
Finally, even if he did mess up - and he by no means admits that - Bevan argued that dismissal would be warranted only if, according to case law (United States v. Sears, Roebuck, and Co., 9th Cir. 1983), "prosecutorial misconduct has undermined the grand jury's ability to make an informed and objective evaluation of the evidence presented to it."Given Judge Breyer's handling of the case so far, hope does not brim to overflowing that he'll dismiss it on these grounds - not when the government has already won conviction. It seems clear Ed Rosenthal must rely on appeal to higher authority.------------------------------

Ed Rosenthal finds new hope
by Pete Brady (04 Feb, 2003)
Grow Guru "more optimistic than ever"
By now, most people who care about cannabis know that marijuana cultivation
expert and publisher Ed Rosenthal, whose "Ask Ed" column graces every issue
of Cannabis Culture, was found guilty last week of several marijuana crimes.
People have called and emailed me from around the world, worried about the
man who brought light and humor to the science of growing pot.
Ed's a self-described "Yippie" who has been one of the world's most
courageous and fearless marijuana advocates for the past 30 years. A Yippie
is a member of cadre of anti-war, counterculture rebels from the 1960's,
the kind of folks who stuck flowers in the rifle barrels of riot police who
wanted to shoot them during Vietnam War protests.
Rosenthal is one of few marijuana writers and advocates who has the guts to
use his real name and face in his work. It may surprise you to know that
most people who make money writing about marijuana for major pot magazines
or in books are using fake names because they are afraid to put themselves
on the line for pot.
Not so for Rosenthal, who outed himself three decades ago and never lookedback. He's been traveling the world writing about grow rooms ever since.
It's surprising that the federal government hasn't hammered Ed before. He
spent many years helping people grow pot without any real harassment from
the anti-plant agents. It was only when the war-loving administration of
George W. Bush and DEA Chief Asa Hutchinson came to power, however, that
somebody in DC decided to destroy Ed.
And since Ed was openly working to provide medpot to sick and dying people
with the blessing of municipal authorities, it was easy for the federal
bully DEA posse to bust him last February in a Bay Area series of raids.
Now, Ed Rosenthal, a 58-year-old father, husband and talk show host who has
helped generations of pot growers in their quest for perfect cannabis
agriculture, faces years of imprisonment and hundreds of thousands ofdollars in fines for allegedly violating federal marijuana law.
On a cold Friday morning, January 31st, the pot world held its collective
breath as the jury in Rosenthal's case- a jury that had been prevented fromhearing the truth about California's medpot law by the trial judge and
prosecutor - deliberated the grow guru's fate.
Many people worried that Rosenthal would be found guilty and immediately
taken away to prison. Rosenthal himself wasn't so worried. He sees himself
as a freedom fighter, and a winner.
"I'm the ideal guy to take on the government's marijuana laws," Rosenthal
told me that night before he was due back in federal court to find outwhether he would be taken into custody.
According to one source close to the situation, "Ed has always been
optimistic since day one."
"He has been very confident and organized, knowing that he was in the
right, and seeking to prove that the government is in the wrong in every
aspect of this case," another source affirmed. "He never thought of giving
up, becoming an informant, or fleeing. That isn't his way. He doesn't run
and hide, even though he is facing a virtual death sentence if life
imprisonment is handed down."
The trial has been reminiscent of a Kafka story. District Court Judge
Charles Breyer muzzled Ed and his defense team. The jury was not allowed to
hear the context of Rosenthal's "crimes," which included growing marijuana
for sale and distribution. Breyer even went so far as to prohibit
Rosenthal's lawyer from questioning a key defense witness; he took over
questioning himself.
US Attorney George Bevan tried to get Judge Breyer to rule that Ed, his
family and his attorneys could not speak to the media. The judge refusedBevan's request; local and international news coverage of the trial has
been overwhelmingly in favor of Rosenthal.
Despite the judge's determination not to let the jury hear about
California's medpot laws or to hear testimony that exonerated Ed, the
defense managed to demolish the prosecution's case in key areas, such as in
the number of plants being grown and in the credibility of DEA agents. Of
course, DEA agents are trained liars, so it doesn't take much to demolish
their credibility, does it?
"America is at a turning point in so many ways," a source told us. "We are
on the brink of starting World War Three, our federal government has become
totalitarian, and a good man is facing the destruction of his life by
people whose hearts are cold and evil. If you believe in any deity or power
in the universe, face towards Oakland, California today, and pray for Ed
and his family, and for America. Pray that the jury sees through this
farce, and that it returns not guilty verdicts on all counts as a message
to the monsters that they cannot continue to destroy innocent lives."
Late Friday, January 31, the jurors found Ed guilty.
But after the trial was over, angry the jurors started speaking out.
On Tuesday, February 4th, after Breyer refused the prosecutor's request to
send Rosenthal to prison immediately, six jurors held a press conference.
They accused the judge of lying to them, and said they had been railroaded
into a guilty verdict.
Rosenthal says his attorneys are working on an appeal, based on
irregularities that include possible jury tampering during the Grand Juryphase of the case that produced the indictment, and on Breyer's surreal
insistence that Californians not talk about the landmark medpot law they
passed in 1996, a law Rosenthal was abiding by.
"The judge was openly hostile to the defense in a way that was
unprecedented," one source lamented. "The jury was being threatened by the
judge. If they had come back with a jury nullification or not guilty, he
might have had them jailed. There was no real trial. It was a set-up. It
was an mob hit carried out by the feds."
But the mob hit failed; Rosenthal is free and confident of remaining free.
"We need people to go to www.green-aid.com and make donations for our
defense fund," he said, while jubilant supporters whooped it up at hishouse. "Note that your donation is for our defense. We're gonna spend a lot
on this case, because this is the tipping point that will begin to unravel
the war against marijuana. If you contribute to this, it isn't just about
helping Ed, it's about helping yourself."
Before Rosenthal went out for a celebratory dinner, he read me a New York
Times editorial that accused the Bush administration of running a
mean-spirited war against medpot and state's rights.
"They say that the administration's war is out of control, and that it
ought to stop beating up on poor Eddie Rosenthal," the grow guru quipped.
"We're in this to win."
For in-depth coverage of the fascinating case of the grow guru who went to
court, read issue 43 of Cannabis Culture magazine.

Adams, Spokane, WA 99205*************************BUSHWHACKED!!*****************************!!!Afghanistan's economy still hooked on opium,says UN04.02.2003 1.17 pmVIENNA - A year on from a ban on opium trade andcultivation, Afghanistan still produces almost three-quartersof the world's opium, while high drug prices keep the cropattractive for poor farmers, a United Nations survey hassaidThe study by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime(ODC) shows the narcotic so rooted in the economic life ofthe country it serves as a regular commodity, collateral forcredit and even currency in a highly evolved "opiumeconomy"."Dismantling the opium economy will be a long andcomplex process. It cannot simply be done by military orauthoritarian means," said ODC Executive Director AntonioMaria Costa.The report added that combating the opium economy wasalso necessary for stability in Central Asia, where the tradeflourishes under the protection of warlords and encouragescorruption.The ODC started annual opium poppy surveys inAfghanistan in 1994, collecting details of cultivation,production and prices, and tracking the almost 15-foldincrease in production since 1979, the year of the Sovietinvasion.The study cites the almost continuous warfare of the last 20years as eroding agricultural and economic infrastructureand destroying the storage, marketing and transportationfacilities needed to grow and sell legitimate crops."Opium does not face these limitations. It is durable, easyto store and carry to the market," the study says. "Opiummarkets operate like spot and futures markets, with tradersproviding credit for future production, buying the opium inlocal bazaars, and traffickers taking over the marketing."The study adds that in the last two decades opiumcultivation and trading were de-facto legal and veryprofitable, with opium evolving initially as a financialinstrument where a formal financial system had collapsed."Opium farmers could sell their harvest in advance at afixed price, i.e. using their future crop as collateral, andreceived cash immediately. The repayment of the loan wasin kind," the study says.But as the Taliban first banned opium cultivation, and thenAfghanistan's new government banned opium trade, pricessoared to about US$450 ($835) per kilogram, acting as anadditional incentive for farmers.The study says that although only under one per cent of allarable land is used for poppy cultivation, annual revenuesfrom opium in 2002 were around US$1.2 billion, in acountry where the average daily wage is around US$2.The report concludes that apart from policing, Afghanistanneeds support to promote alternate crops and implementmacro-economic structures that boost legal commoditymarkets."National efforts will not be enough," Costa said. "Theproblem is international. All countries that are part of theAfghan drug problem should be part of its solution."- REUTERS--------------Resistant skin malady hits L.A. gay menMon Jan 27, 7:50 PM ETChristopher Lisotta, Gay.com / PlanetOut.com NetworkSUMMARY: An antibiotic-resistant form of the staph bacteria is rapidly spreading amongLos Angeles gay men, baffling local physicians.A virulent antibiotic-resistant form of the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, better knownas staph, is rapidly spreading among Los Angeles gay men, baffling local physicians.Since the fall of 2002, the number of gay men in Los Angeles County suffering from boils,inflammation and abscesses on their hands, legs and genitals has exploded, the LosAngeles Times reports.Worrying doctors is the fact that the new strain of staph thwarts drugs like penicillin andother commonly used oral antibiotics, including the more powerful fluoroquinolones. This isforcing medical authorities to prescribe much more expensive drugs like Zyvox, andantibiotics taken intravenously, such as vancomycin, in order to treat the infections."The concern is this organism could spread to and cause disease in the community atlarge," infectious disease specialist Dr. Peter Ruane told the Times. "It seems to be able toattack normal skin in healthy people."For years drug-resistant staph has been a problem in nursing homes and hospitals, butrecently pockets of infection have been found outside medical institutions. At this pointdoctors aren't exactly sure how the infection is contracted, but some say the rising rate ofinfection among gay men indicate it may be passed by skin-to-skin contact at clubs orgyms, and during sex."It's serious because there seems to be a preponderance of cases in gay men," Dr. RobertBolan, medical director at the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center, told theGay.com/PlanetOut.com Network. "It has a lot of similarities to other epidemic infections inour community -- HIV (news - web sites), syphilis, hepatitis; it's the same old broken recordstory. You have a bacterial infection that can be easily transmitted from one person toanother that can have serious consequences."The county, along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (news - web sites),is trying to figure out how exactly the infection is spread in order to find a way to bettercombat it. Bolan and other front-line medical providers are being asked to track the numberand severity of cases they see in their practices.Bolan said the majority of cases he has seen involve patients who also have HIV, but headded "I don't know if this problem is exclusively in the HIV-positive population, or acrossthe board. Either way, the boils and ulcers that form on the skin are severe."They are nasty, and can be vigorous and persistent," he added, encouraging anyone whoexhibits the symptoms of a skin staph infection to seek medical attention immediately.IBOGAINE TREATMENT NOW $1500 IN HOLLAND--CALL SARA, 0113134-624-1770 !!!****From: "R.

Subject: [ibogaine] More Methadone Horror Stories
Status:>>From a Canadian friend...From Saint John, New Brunswick:Michael Hebert cut off his remaining toe this week.
The 26-year-old inmate of the Saint John Regional Correctional Centre in
New Brunswick used the blade from a razor Monday to make the cut andprotest being taken off methadone.
Despite the "severe pain" Hebert said he'll continue to mutilate himselfuntil he gets put back on the program he said he needs to combat a
heroin addiction.
"Either I get on this program or I ain't gonna come out of this sentence
alive," he said.
Hebert had his parole revoked last September and was sent to the Saint
John Jail to await a weapons charge.
Jail officials cut off his methadone after a urine test revealed the
presence of marijuana.
Methadone, a synthetic opiate, is used to treat addiction to opiatessuch as heroin, codeine and morphine.IF YOU WANT YR CONTACT ON THE NEW IBOGAINE POSTER, SET UP AN IBOGAINE DROP-IN CENTER TODAY!********************************************************************To get on the poster for the 2003 Global March for Cannabis Liberation, check yr contact info and add yr city to the List http://www.cures-not-wars.org/cities.htm , which right now consists of 190 cities :

Please subscribe to new MMM email list. Public archive still open.
The public MMM email list at Yahoo Groups now requires people to subscribein order to post messages to the list and the public archive. For a fewweeks I set it up so that non-members could also send in email messages tothe 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 shouldkeep 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
