Alessandr Olivieri, Counsel February 10, 2003
New York City Department of Parks
The Arsenal, Central Park
830 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10021
Re: Million Marijuana March 2003, May 3, 2003
Dear Mr. Oliviei:
This statement constitutes the appeal of applicant Million Marijuana March 2003/Cures Not Wars from the decision of Eric Peterson, dated January 30, 2002 but postmarked February 3, 2003, denying us access to Washington Square Park on May 3, 2003 as the location to hold a small, pre-march teach-in about Ibogaine before heading down Broadway to Battery Park for the annual rally.
In the first place, we are not asking for a daylong rally in Washington Square, but the short period from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM for the purpose of educating our people while they assemble prior to the parade. Since supporters of our demands always come looking for us in Washington Square Park anyway, we've have to station monitors there to send them on to our rally a block away on Washington Place. Moreover, on Saturday before noon the Park is sparsely occupied; and there is no comparison between the number of protestors we attract before the march and the thousands who attend the main rally after the parade. Thus, denial of our application on the grounds that "the nature or duration of the eventcannot be reasonably accommodated" in Washington Square Park is not supported by the facts. Consequently, asserting that "the event would unreasonably interfere with enjoyment of the park by other users" as a grounds for denial of our permit application is a thinly -veiled maneuver to single out a group because they are controversial with the powers-that-be.In the second place, our demands as regarding Ibogaine, a true medical breakthrough in the treatment of addiction, directly concern NYU--which is one of only 5 facilities into the US certified by NIDA to do this kind of research. NYU has hosted one International Ibogaine Conference, in 1999; but the followup Clinical Trial involving heroin addicts is stalled. In light of the admission of Christian Paro, Parks Dept manager for the Washington Square, that the impetus for pushing us into the street last year came from the NYPD 6th Precinct (because we were supposedly "pro-drug") and of published comments by NYU Community Affairs that the Parade "promotes drug dealing in the park," denying Ibogaine advocates access to Washington Square when every other group seeking to affect NYU policy is accorded a permit represents an constitutionally impermissable grant of power to policy-makers to pick and chose which issues will be politically marginalized.Declaring that this rally would be "disruptive to other park users" is a slap in the face to the legitimacy of this issue. You are in effect endorsing the position that allowing drug users to demand painless detoxification with Ibogaine equals "coddling addicts" -that mere public advocacy of a medical cure for addiction promotes drug dealing because it presages Capitulation in the drive to lock up every single druggie under the Rockefeller Drug Law. This is nothing but an attempt to smuggle a hard-right agenda into New York City which more properly belongs in Oklahoma or Missouri (or Texas!). For all of the foregoing reasons, the Parks Department should reconsider its denial. Counsel for the New York Civil Liberties Union considers our free speech claims as viable; we do not accept the pretexts you cite for the denial..JG/sbg Very truly yours,*****!!!

I mean, I'd like to be sure that a lot of fellows for the news GMfCL will take part of the ICN campaign regarding Vienna. I think that we could see this as a warm up for the Global year events on drugs implemented by citizen organisations :First we plant the seed / 12 april : Spread the seeds / Balloons launchs around the world for the UNGASS meeting. Balloons will broadcast some PEACE messages containing drug plant seeds like Poppy, Cannabis, coca...Second we put some water / May 3rd : Global march for Cannabis liberation. You know the topo.Third, we see the plant rising / June 7th : Legalize ! Global demos for a better world, a kind of Toxipride that raise the issue of freedom and safety, cures not wars in fact.At least, we could ensure one international meeting of all fellows who are related to those campaigns during the European Social Forum that will be held in Paris from 12-16 november 2003.You always ask me contacts in Spain : please drag the link below and you'll find plenty messages and peoples to whom you could adress for taking part of the GMfCLAlso, In order to ensure everything fine I'd like to delay the next Iboga conference. I talk to Vito Di Livio woould should give me news during next week. In fact, we decided of two dates, but I think it will be short. I'd like to postoned it to november during the ESF, for example on friday 14th ? It will be the right time to meet plenty peoples from many european countries.Also, about Ed demos : I ensure you that french are demonstrating each wednesday (from now to june, and a special rally will be call on June 4th) in front of the US ambassy. But I don't know if you're aware of that and that could be a kind of start for a campaign. Just now in France one famous activist (K'Shoo) was arrested and put in court for presenting cannabis positively while he is the owner of a global hemp shop with some posters saying "in France that is not allowed to say "Cannabis is good".He is a tipical Ed or Jack disciple.Also in switzerland, one female friend has been condamned for being one of the first who open swiss made coffee shops in Berne. I tell you more soon.I think that we should together emphasize our efforts.Sincerely yours,FARIdIs it still possible to get some poster of the GMfCL ?----------------------------------------------------------------------

Marijuana Fan Faces Jail for Promoting Drugs
Wed, Feb 05, 2003
PARIS (Reuters) - A key member of a pro-marijuana group which in 1997
mailed hand-rolled joints to French members of parliament now faces jail
after finally being netted for selling hemp seeds and pro-cannabis T-shirts.
Stephane Karscher, who runs a shop called "The Bad Seed" in the southern
city of Montpellier, a favorite hangout for sun-seeking hippies, was placed
under formal investigation this week for encouraging drug use, police
sources said Wednesday.
Drug squad police raided Karscher's shop and found T-shirts bearing theslogan "In France it's illegal to say cannabis is good" along with seeds
and marijuana growing equipment. "They take everything at face value. It's
a pretext to ban any debate on cannabis," Karscher told the daily Liberation.
Karscher is a member of CIRC, an underground group promoting cannabis,
whose founder Jean-Pierre Galland was fined 50,000 francs ($8,300) in 1998
after the group sent a joint to every French MP to try and trigger a debate
on legalizing marijuana. Karscher was not punished for his role in the prank.
Around one in four French people aged between 18 and 75 have tried
marijuana at least once and hundreds are jailed each year and thousands
fined for use, possession or sale of the drug.-----------------------------------------------------------

RASTAFARIANS WANTED SOME RESPECT FOR THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS -- YESTERDAY
AUTHORITIES RESPONDED
A Victory For The Church Of Haile Selassie
KINGSTON -- Their country is the birthplace of Rastafarianism, but
Jamaicans who follow the colourful movement say they are treated as
reggae-listening, pot-smoking misfits and deserve better treatment.
"They'll give Bob Marley an honourary degree.
"But they wouldn't want a Rastafarian to marry their daughter," said Dilipi
Champagnie, an affable Rastafarian priest who won the right yesterday, in a
landmark legal case, to minister to prison inmates.
The case dealt with the religious rights of Mr. Champagnie, who serves at
the Church of Haile Selassie in a gritty part of West Kingston, and Kevin
Hall, a 26-year-old prison inmate serving a 15-year sentence for a
gang-related murder.URL: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v03.n196.a06.html------------------------------

LAWYERS' PROTEST DISTURBS HOUSE
A GROUP OF placard-bearing members of the Jamaican Bar Association
walked out of the House of Representatives yesterday after Speaker of

"I notice what seem to be placards that I find to be inappropriate and
if they are not willing to comply by the rules of the House they will
be asked to leave," the Speaker said.
The lawyers, led by Bar Association President Hilary Phillips, Q.C.,
were holding tiny placards which read 'confidence betrayed'.

LAWMAKER PUSHES MEDICAL MARIJUANA BILL FOR 3RD TIME
HARTFORD, Conn. - A state lawmaker on Thursday announced for thethird time in as many years a plan to legalize marijuana for medical
purposes.
Legislation introduced by Rep. James W. Abrams, D-Meriden, would allow
doctors to give patients certificates authorizing the use of marijuana
to relieve pain and other symptoms.
Connecticut passed one of the nation's first medical marijuana laws in
1981, allowing doctors to prescribe the drug. Doctors, fearingprosecution, have refused to prescribe the drug because federal law
banning the drug overrides state law.
The legislation sponsored by Abrams and three other state
representatives would shift the responsibility from doctors topatients, Abrams said at a Capitol news conference. A certificate
would give patients a defense against state prosecution, but notfederal action.URL: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v03.n194.a05.html------------------------------First Name: Oliver

'Dell Dude' Arrested for Marijuana in NY
Reuters Monday, February 10, 2003; 3:11 PM
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actor Benjamin Curtis, the Dell Computer Corp.
pitchman "Steven" who says on television, "Dude, yer gettin' a Dell,"
was arrested for possessing marijuana in New York, officials said on
Monday.
Curtis, 22, was charged with criminal possession of marijuana, a
misdemeanor that carries a prison sentence of up to three months if he
is convicted, a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney's office
said.
Curtis, who lives in New York and was arrested on Sunday night, was
scheduled to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court later on Monday.
A spokesman for the Round Rock, Texas-based Dell said he was not
familiar with the details and declined to speculate on future plans for
the advertising campaign.
"We're following the situation closely and working with our ad agency to
understand what's transpired here," spokesman Venancio Figueroa said.
The ad agency is DDB of Chicago.
Dell, the No. 2 personal computer company, makes most of its money
selling to businesses and schools. It began the TV and print
commercials featuring the wise-cracking "Steven" three years ago.--From: FenichelSent: 1/31/03 11:22:36 AMSubject: Slam dunk
'Weedman' on parole after court decisionBy JOHN REITMEYERBurlington County TimesA state parole program has dropped its attempt to put marijuana-legalization advocate Ed "njweedman" Forchion back in jail.Forchion, 38, of Pemberton Township has been enrolled in the state's Intensive Supervision Program since last April after serving 16 months of a 10-year prison term for marijuana possession.The parole program allows participants to be released early, but requires regular drug testing and following other strict regulations.Although Forchion passed all drug tests, program officials sent him to Burlington County Jail in Mount Holly last August, alleging he violated terms of his parole by remaining outspoken on marijuana issues.They then began proceedings to have Forchion removed from the program and ordered to serve the remainder of his original 10-year sentence.Forchion challenged the decision in federal court and was freed from jail last week after a judge ruled he could not be punished for exercising free speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. He was to appear in a state court Tuesday for a hearing on a handful of other parole violations alleged by program officials, but the hearing was canceled."We are not pursuing the charges based on the decision of the federal court," said Tammy Kendig, a spokeswoman for the state Administrative Office of the Courts, which oversees the program."They totally dropped everything," Forchion said.Forchion said the recent legal developments have buttressed a $4 million civil-rights lawsuit he filed against the state for keeping him in jail from August until last week."It's a slam dunk," he said.He vowed to continue calling for the legalization of marijuana."The First Amendment is a tough pill to swallow if you don't agree with what the person says," he said.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA BILL ALIVE
SANTA FE - A bill to legalize medical marijuana got off to a lackluster
start in its first legislative committee hearing.
The House Consumer and Public Affairs tied 4-4 Thursday on a vote to pass
the bill, then voted unanimously to send House Bill 242, sponsored by
Grants Democrat Ken Martinez, on with without recommendation.
Martinez's bill would legalize the use of a limited amount of marijuana for
medical patients with debilitating diseases. Patients would be allowed to
possess a small amount and grow a limited number of plants to use.
The committee's action does allow the bill to live another day. It has twomore House panels - the Business and Industry and the Judiciary committees
- - to get through before it reaches the House floor.
The measure drew emotional appeals from one longtime sufferer from HIV and
a painful neuropathic syndrome.URL: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v03.n205.a05.html------------------------------

McWilliams Gives Up Hope For Federal Court
After his arrest on pot charges in October, medical marijuana activist
Steve McWilliams vowed to go to trial in federal court. He wanted the
chance to argue he had a right to grow marijuana under California'sProposition 215, which allows ill people to grow pot.
McWilliams said yesterday he has given up that fight and will accept a plea
agreement offered by prosecutors.
He plans to plead guilty today to one felony charge and is expected toadmit that he grew 25 plants that drug enforcement agents uprooted from his

DOCTORS WITHOUT ORDERS
So many doctors who recommend cannabis have found themselves under
investigation by the Medical Board of California --which can revoke or
suspend their licenses-- that Frank Lucido, MD, has called a conference to
compare notes and discuss a coordinated response.
The docs will meet in Berkeley on March 8. One of their chief concerns is
that the Medical Board has never issued guidelines according to which they
can discuss cannabis with their patients. (Tod Mikuriya, MD, has been
requesting and suggesting guidelines since 1996.) Another concern is thatalmost all the complaints that have triggered Medical Board investigations
have come not from patients or their loved ones, but from law enforcement
or other third parties.
The complaint against Lucido, for example, came from a high school
administrator.
Meanwhile the Medical Board may be moving on its own to address thedoctors' concerns. At its Jan. 31 meeting in Los Angeles, the Board's
Division of Medical Quality heard attorney Alice Mead, representing the
California Medical Association, suggest criteria according to which doctors
can recommend cannabis in accordance with state and federal law.
Mead reminded the Board that the recent decision by the US Court of Appeal
for the Ninth Circuit in Conant v. Walters 'does not apply only to the
federal government. Since it is based on the federal constitution, the
ruling applies to any state or local governmental entity, including the
Medical Board, that may try to punish or restrict a physician for
recommending cannabis.
'A physician's intent shouldn't be the primary focus of the Medical Board,'
said Mead. 'Even if a physician actually intendsS to provide a
recommendation for procurement purposes, Prop 215 still suggests that aphysician gets the protections... Therefore, the medical board shouldn't
investigate a physician unless the Board has a good faith belief that ithas substantial evidence that the physician's practice has fallen beneath
the standard of care.
'It should not initiate an investigation simply because some individual,
such as a park ranger or a law enforcement officer or even a judicial
officer, simply disapproves of the very idea that a patient has a
physician's recommendation to use cannabis.'
This comment elicited nods of assent from many of the Board members.
Investigator Dave Thornton, the Board's Chief of Enforcement, was present
and could not have missed the policy implications. The question now is
whether he will revisit some of the investigations in progress that were
initiated at the request of law enforcement.
'And how is the Medical Board supposed to determine whether or not aphysician might have breached the standard of care?' asked Meadrhetorically. 'Proposition 215 specifically includes a number of serious
medical conditions [cancer, anorexia, AIDS, chronic pain, spasticity,
glaucoma, arthritis, and migraine.] In addition, it applies to 'any other
illness for which marijuana provides relief.' That's very broad, and theMedical Board can ensure that the physician has some support for his or her
opinion. But that support need not come from double blind,
placebo-controlled clinical trials.
Most off-label prescription is not supported by such evidence.
There is an extensive (and very consistent) body of anecdotal evidence for
a variety of medicinal uses of cannabisS There are controlled clinical
trials conducted a couple of decades ago that can shed light on a
particular case. There is considerable data from pre-clinical work done inrecent years that supports the clinical evidence, and more continues tocome in. And there's actually data from controlled clinical trials coming
in from the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research at UC San Diego, and GW
Pharmaceuticals in England. GW has just publicized the result of its
phase-three trials involving 350 patients with multiple sclerosis and
neuropathic pain using a standardized oral mucosal cannabis extract and
finding statistically significant benefits.
The Medical Board needs to secure experts who are familiar with the full
spectrum of such informationS
Mead compared the subset of doctors who have written numerous cannabis
recommendations to those who treated AIDS patients in the early days of the
epidemic. 'Many physicians are too fearful of, or unfamiliar with, the
subject to be willing to discuss medicinal cannabis with their patients.
So the physician from whom a patient seeks information and advice may not
be the patient's primary care physician and may not be responsible for the
ongoing care of the patient's underlying condition. That can be
appropriate. When I was first at CMA and the HIV epidemic had just brokenout, many physicians were ignorant of HIV and fearful of HIV and they
didn't want to take HIV-infected patients.
A lot of the legal issues landed on my deskS There were a few brave and
informed physicians who did take a lot of those patients --a
disproportionate number.
We never said they treated too many HIV patients.
They did it because no one else would.
'So, the primary-care physician may not be the one who provides the
information and advice, but his or her practices still have to meet the
standard of care. There has to be a good-faith prior exam. The physician
has to take a good history before advising the patient about cannabis.
There has to be a determination that the patient has a serious medical
condition; it doesn't have to be life-threatening, it just has to be
something that substantially interferes with the patient's everyday life
activities. The physician has to conduct an informed-consent
discussion. Document the results of that exam and history and discussion
in the patient's medical record, including the conclusion that cannabis
might be therapeutic. Consult with the patient's primary care physician
and/or get a copy of the relevant portion of the medical record that showsthe patient's diagnosis and previous care and treatment.
And provide follow-up assessment to determine what effect the medicinalcannabis is having on the patient's overall healthS
'And, of course, these requirements should not be applied more stringently
to physicians who recommend cannabis than would be to other physicians.
'In a nutshell, physicians and patients should be able to embark on the
difficult path of discovering what treatment may be best, including
treatment with cannabis.
No governmental entity, including the Medical Board, should inappropriately
hinder that process.
We urge the Medical Board to try to understand the medical issues, and to
avail itself of expert information and be fully equipped with the available
scientific evidence, because more and more is coming in every day.'
Indictments ChallengedA few days before the federal case against Ed Rosenthal went to the jury,his lawyers obtained a partial transcript of the grand jury hearing that
led to the original indictment. The grand jurors had asked so many
questions, and seemed so supportive of California's medical marijuana law
that prosecutor George Bevan had a hard time convincing them to indict.
According to the defense motion to dismiss, which U.S. District Judge
Charles Breyer has yet to rule on, Bevan tried too hard: 'The prosecutor
led the grand jurors to believe that federal law offered a 'shelter' for 99
plants or less to enable patients to get their medicine and that state law
defenses and a medical defense was available [to Rosenthal].'
In a less publicized federal case of equal significance, U.S. Magistrate
Judge Dale Drozd has ordered the U.S. Attorney's office to show defendants
Robert and Shawna Whiteaker documents in which the Sacramento CountyDistrict Attorney's office allegedly asked them to take the case becausethe Whiteakers had nixed a plea-bargain! Drozd also ordered the prosecutors
in both offices to hand over documents describing when and how they decide
to press charges.
The Whiteakers, who are in their early 40s, were growing 242 indoor plants
when they were busted in May, 1999. The search warrant had been obtained by
a super-zealous Placer County Sheriff's Deputy named Tracy Grant, who had
staked out a hydroponics supply store and was going after their customers
systematically. The Whiteakers' lawyer, Bill Panzer, contends that Grant
routinely obtained search warrants under false pretenses.
At a hearing to suppress the Whiteaker search warrant in February 2001,
Grant refused to answer questions about his authority to issue federal
grand-jury subpoenas. With the judge threatening to dismiss the case,
Deputy Placer County D.A. Joy Smiley told the Whiteakers they had 48 hours
to accept the deal --28 months in state prison for Robert, a year in county
jail for Shawna-- or face prosecution by the feds.
'The ultimatum was clear,' wrote Judge Drozd in his order; and if the fedswere indeed functioning as the hammer for local law enforcers, it would be
vindictive prosecution --and grounds for dismissal. Now the burden is on
the U.S. Attorney's Office and their Placer County cronies to prove their
innocence.--------------From: Dana Larsen <muggles2@...>Subject: CANNABIS CULTURE MMM HELP

POT SMOKER GIVES UP DRUG FEARING TERROR
Believing his drug use may be funding terrorism, a Frederick County man
called authorities to his home to get his dope.
In Frederick County District Court on Thursday, John E. Higgins, 46, said
he was disappointed he could not participate in the Vietnam War.
"I don't want to do anything to hurt this country," he said.
Higgins, who admitted to possession of marijuana, received a suspended
sentence and was ordered to continue in drug treatment.
Defense Attorney Jack Blomquist told Judge Janice Rodnick Ambrose that the
case was unusual.
He said on Dec. 8, 2002, his client, whose father was a World War II
veteran, was watching a documentary about Pearl Harbor.
"Then, he saw a commercial stating that if you smoke marijuana, you could
be funding terrorism. ... He picked up the phone and called 911."- ---

NO INDICTMENTS RETURNED IN HELRIGGLE DEATH
Special Prosecutor: Case Far From Over
EATON - A Preble County grand jury on Tuesday declined to indict
Preble County Sheriff's Emergency Services Unit officers in the
shooting of 23-year-old Clayton Helriggle, and a special prosecutor
called his death a justifiable homicide.
The jury also declined to indict any of the four other people livingwith Helriggle in the Lanier Twp. farmhouse on any charges stemming
from a marijuana-trafficking warrant served by the special policesquad when officers stormed Helriggle's house on Sept. 27 in a heavily
armed raid.
"It's heartbreaking and a tragedy, but the (legal) focus (into
criminal wrongdoing) is very narrow," said Suzanne Schmidt, first
assistant to Greene County Prosecutor William Schenck, who was called
in to handle the investigation.URL: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v03.n190.a03.html---------Pubdate: Fri, 07 Feb 2003

Methadone Grows as Killer Drug
February 9, 2003
By PAM BELLUCK
PORTLAND, Me. - Methadone, a drug long valued for treating
heroin addiction and for soothing chronic pain, is
increasingly being abused by recreational drug users and is
causing an alarming rise in overdoses and deaths, federal
and state officials say.
In Florida, methadone-related deaths jumped from 209 in
2000 to 357 in 2001 to 254 in just the first six months of
2002, the latest period for which data are available.
"Out of noplace came methadone," said James McDonough,
director of the Florida Office of Drug Control. "It now is
the fastest rising killer drug."
In North Carolina, deaths caused by methadone increased
eightfold, to 58 in 2001 from 7 in 1997 - an "absolutely
amazing" jump, said Catherine Sanford, a state
epidemiologist.
In Maine, methadone was the drug found most frequently in
people who died of overdoses from 1997 to 2002. It was
found in almost a quarter of the deaths. In the first six
months of last year, methadone killed 18 people in Maine,
up from 4 in all of 1997. Dr. John H. Burton, medical
director for Maine Emergency Medical Services, said
hospital emergency rooms were seeing "a tidal wave" ofmethadone-related cases.
The increase in methadone overdoses and deaths has floored
many drug experts because methadone, which does not provide
a quick or potent high, has long been considered an
unlikely candidate for substance abuse. It can be hours
before a user feels any effect, and it works more like asedative than a stimulant.
And because methadone is considered such an important and
affordable tool for treating addiction and pain, health and
law enforcement officials are facing a quandary: how to
stop methadone abuse without curtailing its valuable uses -
and especially without driving addicts back to drugs likeheroin.
"We've got years of experience with methadone and suddenly
we've got this problem," said Dr. H. Westley Clark,
director of the federal Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment. "We realize that lives are being lost and we're
trying to stop that. But we're trying not to do quick fixes
that will cause us more problems."
The surge in methadone abuse appears linked to several
factors, including the growing abuse of heroin and
OxyContin, a powerfully addictive prescription painkiller.
Health and law enforcement officials are reporting that
some of these addicts are turning to methadone when they
cannot get the other drugs.
At the same time, methadone has become more available.Physicians are increasingly prescribing it for pain relief,
in part because law enforcement officials have been
cracking down on OxyContin, and more methadone clinics havesprung up to treat the growing number of heroin addicts.
"The availability of methadone for treatment and pain has
put people who would not normally be in a position to
divert drugs in that position," said Sgt. Scott J.
Pelletier, who works for the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency
handling drug cases in Portland and Cumberland County,
where methadone caused at least 30 deaths in 2002,
according to the state medical examiner's office.
In most states with increased methadone deaths, the
methadone being abused appears to be tablets prescribed for
pain. These are sold or sometimes given to addicts by
people who have stolen them from patients or, in some
cases, by the patients themselves. Addicts either swallow
the tablets or grind them into powder that can be inhaled
or turned into liquid and injected.
In Maine, however, and to a lesser degree in a few otherstates, the authorities say much of the methadone has been
the liquid form used in drug clinics and spread, in some
cases, by clinic patients. Many clinics across the country,
following federal guidelines designed to make methadone
treatment more accessible, have stopped requiring patients
to take all their daily doses at the clinic, and instead
are allowing them to take home doses of methadone once a
week or more.
In Chicago, "kids are now coming from suburbia and they're
buying methadone on the street," said Dr. Ernest C. Rose, a
specialist in drug addiction who works for several
methadone clinics there.
"In the inner city, you can get 80 milligrams of methadone
for $20 to $30, which is a lot cheaper than a heroin habit
would be. We do see a lot of methadone getting diverted out
here on the street from the clinic, and we have to watch
our clients very carefully because it's a secondary source
of income for a lot of them."
There are no national figures for methadone deaths or
overdoses. But the federal Drug Abuse Warning Network
reported that in 2001, 10,725 people turned up in emergency
rooms after having abused methadone. That is nearly double
the number of such visits in 1999.
Experts say those attracted to methadone fall mostly into
two categories: people already addicted to other opiates,
and nave, sporadic drug users who have often never tried
methadone before.
"Most people who are addicted for any period of time aren't
out chasing the buzz anymore," Dr. Rose said. "Most of them
are trying to keep their sick off, and methadone will do
that."
Nave users might be "people who are just at a party and
someone will give them some methadone," said Dr. Burton,
the emergency medicine specialist in Maine. "They might mix
it in with a beer or with some other drug. They take it
thinking it's just like any other drug and will give them a
buzz, and they end up either dead or deeply unconscious."
Methadone's delayed narcotic effect and its lack of a
potent high are important reasons the drug can be so
dangerous, experts say.
"By the time they've actually overdosed, no one is with
them to see what's happening," said Kimberly Johnson,
director of the Maine Office of Substance Abuse.
Joseph Haddock, an analyst for the Justice Department's
National Drug Intelligence Center, said some people,
unaware of the drug's delayed effects, "take methadone,don't get the effect that they want, take more methadone,
still don't get that reaction, and they take more
methadone, so they end up overdosing."
How large a dose can cause an overdose can vary widely.
Methadone is often taken in combination with alcohol or
other drugs, which may make it more harmful. Typically,
experts say, pills prescribed for pain are about 5 or 10
milligrams each, meaning several pills might be needed for
an overdose. Liquid for addiction treatment usually ranges
from 50 to 500 milligrams.
While methadone has been available as a pain medication
since World War II, many physicians have only recently
begun to prescribe it, said Dr. Edward C. Covington,director of the chronic pain rehabilitation program at the
Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and a past president of American
Academy of Pain Medicine.
The change, he said, is partly the result of a newconsensus that chronic pain should be treated and a wider
awareness that methadone is a legal and effective way to do
so.
Doctors wary of prescribing OxyContin because of warnings
from the police about the potential for abuse have also
turned increasingly to methadone, Dr. Clark and others say.
Dr. Covington and other experts say some doctors also
prefer methadone because it is far cheaper than OxyContin,
it does not generate as much of a high as other drugs, and
its effects are slower, seemingly making it less likely to
be abused.
But methadone is also complicated to prescribe. Doses are
often difficult to calibrate, Dr. Covington said, because
of the way the drug accumulates in fatty tissues and is
slowly released in the body.
"Methadone is probably one of the very few drugs that I'veseen doctors almost kill patients with," he said. "It'sthat hard to use when you first start to use it. If it's on
the street, we're going to be seeing some deaths."
Officials in several states are pressing for electronic
monitoring of prescriptions filled by pharmacies, which can
indicate whether patients are getting identical
prescriptions filled in different places.
Dr. Andrea G. Barthwell, the White House drug czar's deputy
director for demand reduction, said her office wants to
educate physicians better about methadone and root out
unscrupulous doctors who help patients who are abusing or
selling the drug. Prosecutors in Virginia, Florida and
elsewhere are bringing charges against such doctors.
Grappling with methadone used in addiction treatment may be
even more difficult. For three decades, many health experts
have praised methadone for pulling addicts away from
heroin. While those addicts usually remain on methadone for
long periods and may never be able to function without it,
many lead productive lives, experts say.
To make methadone more accessible, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration in 2001 relaxed its
policy on distributing it. In the past, patients who
reliably took their methadone each day could earn the
privilege of taking as many as six days' worth of doses
home. The new rules lengthened that to 31 days, a boon for
people who had to travel long distances to clinics.
But while experts like Dr. Barthwell, a past president of
American Society for Addiction Medicine, consider patients
who earn 31-day take-home privileges to be highly unlikely
to sell their methadone, they worry more about another
policy that allows clinics to close on Sundays and to send
even new patients home with a "Sunday bottle" of methadone.
"Some of these people exchange their Sunday bottle for
other drugs or money," Dr. Barthwell said. "It may be their
only source of currency until they are on a stabilizing
dose" of methadone and are functioning well enough to get a
legitimate job.
In Maine, state officials and law enforcement authoritiessaid that take-home methadone - which typically comes in
stronger doses than methadone tablets prescribed for pain -
had caused most of the deaths. In some cases, Sergeant
Pelletier said, clinic patients would "stockpile" a small
amount of each take-home dose and sell the methadone, trade
it for other drugs or give it to a friend addicted to otherdrugs.
What is more, the vast majority of the people who died in
Maine were not clinic patients themselves.
Maine's methadone clinics are cooperating with state
officials and have agreed to tighten procedures. Dr. Marc
Shinderman, the operator of CAP Quality Care in Westbrook,
said his clinic was now open every day. Longtime patients
are permitted to take home at most only two weeks' worth of
methadone.
More programs are available to educate patients about the
consequences of letting others sample their methadone. Dr.
Shinderman's clinic requires that people return empty
bottles of take-home methadone, and is switching as many
patients as possible to tablets, which the clinic says ithopes will be less likely to lead to overdose.
Dr. Shinderman said he was "mystified" about why so many of
the deaths in Maine were attributed to methadone fromclinics.
"Methadone has been around a long time and diversion has
been around a long time," said Dr. Shinderman, who also
operates clinics in Chicago. "It's a kind of a puzzle.
People should be somewhat sophisticated about methadone."

The public MMM email list at Yahoo Groups now requires people to subscribein order to post messages to the list and the public archive.

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
