TO YOUR HEALTH - IS EVERYONE BECOMING HIGH ON HEMP?

Pamela was idly strolling through the shopping arcade of her conservative
small town when she realized she had seen signs in not one but several store
windows advertising hemp products. Hemp? Isn't that cannabis--marijuana?
Wasn't Paul McCartney arrested, handcuffed, interrogated for more than a
week, and ultimately deported from Japan for bringing a small supply of
marijuana into the country? Is marijuana now legal in Japan?

Marijuana is most definitely not legal in Japan today. Importing, possessing
or selling marijuana still leads to unpleasant close encounters with the
police and justice system.

"Industrial" hemp and marijuana both belong to the "cannabis sativa" family
of plants. Cannabis is an annual plant (must be started from seed every
year), but can reach an amazing height of five meters. All varieties are
hemp, but only plants with a high amount of the active ingredient
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are marijuana.

DRUG LORDS BEFRIEND POOR AS BRAZIL'S GOVERNMENT FAILS

RIO DE JANEIRO - On a steep hillside, an organization is generously
maintaining the local soccer field, donating cash to help operate day- care
centers, providing cheap transit, staging musical extravaganzas, offering
medicine and food to needy families and assuring the security of the more
than 250,000 residents packed into the massive Rocinha ghetto.

There are many such organizations operating throughout Brazil. In Rocinha,
as in other favelas, the haphazardly constructed slums across Rio and other
big cities in Latin America's largest nation, the organizations are known
as "the Parallel Power" - the new euphemism for Brazil's increasingly
omnipotent drug lords.

Residents of the favelas, where about 40 percent of Rio's population can be
found, say the well-organized gangs of drug traffickers have essentially

replaced the regular government.

Status:

Mike Patriquen needs our help, while reading this remember that the day before there was a crack dealer who was busted for crack and guns and he only got 2 years, they gave Mike 6 YEARS !!!

** URGENT***
Mr. Patriquen has been successfully sentenced to SIX YEARS in federal custody for cannabis offenses. N.S. Provincial Justice Hood has declared the issue of Mr. Patriquen's rights to legally prescribed course of treatment to be a civil matter while in Federal prison and thusly denied his Canadian charter rights to medical care.

Under Canadian law Mr. Patriquen has the charter right to pursue a legally and legitimately prescribed course of treatment even though he is imprisoned. However, it is also currently illegal to provide Mr. Patriquen with his prescription while residing in a federal institution.

For those new to this, as part of the move into the system apparently prisoners are moved into observation for several weeks (3
months I think) during which time they are isolated and the process of assessment begins.

We had all assumed that as Mike Patriquen had been denied his cannabis prescription, he would be allowed to resume his Oxycontin treatments upon arrival.

THIS IS NOT THE CASE - AT ALL - !

The prison officials have determined that Mike Patriquen can visit a doctor when he can make an appointment (read - after everyone else in line with a cold and hemorrhoid gets seen and they have finished their assessment) and it may well now be some MONTHS before he is reassessed and allowed to resume treatment of his spinal cord injury. Not even an aspirin apparently..

I cannot believe that this can be happening in Canada until I stand back and realize that in THEIR eyes - Mike MUST be faking an injury and is trying to con the system (after all - read his sentence paperwork) and of course this whole Medical Marijuana thing is just a bunch of hooey too..

After absorbing this outrageous, evil news and speaking with David and Debbie - I am now writing to alert you that it is now ABSOLUTELY VITAL that you strongly put the arm on everyone you can - to write the Minister of Justice AND to sign the recently released online petition. We ask if you are Canadian of Voting age on the petition - but anyone with an internet connection is welcome. In fact International e-mails are welcomed (they seem to carry more weight in Ottawa these days anyway)..

I know this is a lot to ask folks but as god is my witness this is getting really out of hand - if we don't act right away, it will become the model for every other Medical Marijuana patient who ends up in custody in Canada.

Please, we must work VERY ACTIVELY to hassle our pals into hassling their pals into writing the Justice Minister AND signing the petition as the only - quick - way to get Mike Patriquen remanded to House Arrest so he can resume treatment - is - to get the Minister to act. Failing that, we are allowing them to leave him to literally rot while they get around to looking at his case.

Personally cannot think of a more horrid, despicable, ungodly thing than to be in severe pain and locked down for 23 hours a day in effective solitary confinement with no recourse to even speak to a Doctor. But that is exactly what is happening to Mike Patriquen - AS OF RIGHT NOW..

Here are the links folks - Mel (and anyone willing to stand by her on Camera) will be doing a formal press conference towards the middle of next week which hopefully will get things moving more publicly.. We have been organizing things like the online petition and our request to the Justice Minister on www.railroaded.info so we are ready for public response when we address the media then.

Had we known that Mike Patriquen was in lock-up WITHOUT any medical attention of any kind, we would have been in touch sooner..

POT SMOKERS TAKE CASE TO COURT

Medical Marijuana Advocates Fight Ottawa's Usage Rules

TORONTO (CP) - A band of seriously ill people crowded into court Thursday
to do battle with Ottawa over a scheme to permit the use of medical
marijuana they say violates their constitutional rights.

The group, with conditions ranging from AIDS and hepatitis C to epilepsy
and multiple sclerosis, wants to strike down federal rules governing
medicinal pot, as well as the law that makes possession a criminal offence.
"This is about the right to make fundamental personal decisions," Toronto
lawyer and longtime cannabis crusader Alan Young told Superior Court
Justice Sidney Lederman.

"The right to make personal decisions has been called fundamentally
deserving of the highest protection."

A FEDERAL CASE: 'WEEDMAN' SEEKS RELIEF FROM HIGHER COURT

The Case Of Ed "Njweedman" Forchion Is Headed To Federal Court.

Believing that he is being held in jail unconstitutionally, Forchion
petitioned the federal district court in Camden for a "writ of habeas
corpus" -- lawyer-speak for a federal judge to determine whether an inmate
is being imprisoned lawfully.

Judge Joseph Irenas accepted Forchion's petition, and now the state has
until Oct. 28 to explain to the judge why Forchion is sitting in the clink

"The judge clearly saw something legitimate," said John Furlong, a local
lawyer and expert in these matters. "He [Forchion] made it through the
door, which puts him head and shoulders above everyone else."

Furlong explained that the federal courts are deluged with writs of habeas

corpus, and very few get accepted.

POT GIVEAWAY IN SANTA CRUZ DRAWS 1,100

Rally Condemns Marijuana Raids

Thumbing their noses at federal drug laws, members of a Santa Cruz County

medicinal marijuana organization on Tuesday staged their own version of the
Boston Tea Party.

Only they didn't dump tea in the harbor. They passed out pot -- right in
front of Santa Cruz City Hall and with the support of local officials and
several hundred other people.

Their message: The federal government needs to acknowledge that states like
California should be able to decide for themselves whether marijuana can be
used as medicine.

The pot giveaway and rally attracted nearly 1,100 people, including about
200 journalists from around the world who came to witness the latest -- and
most serious challenge yet -- to stepped-up federal efforts to confiscate
the drug from medicinal marijuana clubs and the farms that produce it.

EMPLOYEE FIRED FOR MEDICAL POT USE SUES FIRM

In what may be a first since California voters passed the medicinal
marijuana law six years ago, a Sacramento man is suing his former employer
for firing him because he uses doctor-prescribed pot for a disabling back
condition.

In a lawsuit filed in Sacramento Superior Court, Gary Ross, 40, is seeking
more than $100,000 in damages from RagingWire Telecommunications Inc., a
Sacramento-based information-technology firm.

"Californians have said medicinal marijuana is legal. Does an employer have
the right to fire someone because they don't agree with the law? I don't

think so," said Ross' attorney, Stewart Katz.

BUTTE CO MMJ PATIENT MIKE FARRELL RAIDED

Doctor's recommendation no match for warrant in pot raid

The marijuana plants towered more than 17 feet high, visible over the roof
of the shabby shack off of Wisconsin Street in Chapmantown.

According to Vic Lacey, commander of the Butte Interagency Narcotics Task
Force-North, an agent attempted to inspect the plants on Tuesday, but ran

into unusual opposition from the grower, Michael Joseph Farrell, 35.

Farrell, who rents the $175-a-month one-bedroom "bungalow," climbed a ladder
onto the roof and hauled it up behind him. Farrell refused to come down. He

shouted for neighbors to call the media.

The agent left Farrell on the roof, got a warrant and a few friends.

Seven agents were joined by two deputies from the Butte County Sheriff's
Office on the Wednesday raid.

HOLD FEINSTEIN ACCOUNTABLE

California voters could not have been any more clear on the issue of
medical marijuana. Proposition 215, which allows sick people to grow and
possess this medicine with the recommendation of their doctor, is state
law, and was passed by a solid majority of California voters. Santa Cruz
County voters have voted twice by over 70 percent in favor of medical cannabis.

Sen. Diane Feinstein thumbs her nose at the voters. Her official position,
articulated today by her Washington office, is that marijuana users, of
whatever stripe, should be subject to arrest under federal law. Yes, Sen.
Feinstein is pleased to see AIDS patients and other terminally ill patients

hauled off to jail!

Ms. Feinstein passes herself off as a "progressive liberal' who is in step
with her California constituents. Nothing could be farther from the truth
and this duplicitous woman should be turned out of office at the next
election. Please call Sen. Feinstein's San Francisco or Washington offices
(202-224-3841) to let her know of her isolation from her constituents.

No More Mr Nice Guy (Nelson Mandela)

In the past few weeks Nelson Mandela has called America a 'threat to world
peace' and lambasted Dick Cheney as a 'dinosaur'. That's not the sort of
language you'd expect from the kindly old statesman who forgave his jailers.
But he has always been misunderstood in the west. And now he's got something
to be really angry about

By Gary Younge

Say what you like about Nelson Mandela, but he is not a man known to bear a
grudge or lose his temper easily. Having waited 27 years for his freedom, he
emerged from jail to preach peace and reconciliation to a nation scarred by
racism. When he finally made the transition from the world's most famous
prisoner to the world's most respected statesman, he invited his former
jailer to the inauguration. So when he criticises US foreign policy in terms
every bit as harsh as those he used to condemn apartheid, you know something

is up. In the past few weeks, he has issued a "strong condemnation" of the
US's attitude towards Iraq, lambasted vice-president Dick Cheney for being a
"dinosaur" and accused the US of being "a threat to world peace".

Coming from other quarters, such criticisms would have been dismissed by
both the White House and Downing Street as the words of appeasement,
anti-Americanism or leftwing extremism. But Mandela is not just anyone.
Towering like a moral colossus over the late 20th century, his voice carries
an ethical weight like no other. He rode to power on a global wave of
goodwill, left office when his five years were up and settled down to a life
of elder statesmanship. So the belligerent tone he has adopted of late
suggests one of two things; either that some thing is very wrong with the
world, or that something is very wrong with Mandela.

What Mandela believes is wrong with the world is not difficult to fathom. He
is annoyed at how the US is exploiting its overwhelming military might.
Earlier this month, after President Bush would not take his calls, he spoke
to secretary of state Colin Powell and then the president's father, asking

the latter to discourage his son from attacking Iraq.

"What right has Bush to say that Iraq's offer is not genuine?" he asked on
Monday. "We must condemn that very strongly. No country, however strong, is
entitled to comment adversely in the way the US has done. They think they're
the only power in the world. They're not and they're following a dangerous
policy. One country wants to bully the world."

Having supported the bombing of Afghanistan, he cannot be dismissed as a
peacenik. But his assessment of the current phase of Bush's war on terror is
as damning as anything coming out of the Arab world. "If you look at these
matters, you will come to the conclusion that the attitude of the United
States of America is a threat to world peace."

And then there is the dreaded "r" word. Accusations of discrimination do not
fall often or easily from Mandela's lips, but when they do, the world is
forced to sit up and listen. So far, he has fallen short of accusing the
west of racism in its dealings with the developing world, but he has implied
sympathy with those who do. "When there were white secretary generals, you
didn't find this question of the US and Britain going out of the UN. But now
that you've had black secretary generals, such as Boutros Boutros Ghali and

Kofi Annan, they do not respect the UN. This is not my view, but that is
what is being said by many people."

Most surprising in these broadsides has been his determination to point out
particular individuals for blame. As a seasoned political hand, Mandela has
previously eschewed personal invective but has clearly made an exception
when it comes to Cheney. In 1986, Cheney voted against a resolution calling
for his release because of his alleged support for "terrorism". Mandela
insists that he is not motivated by pique. "Quite clearly we are dealing
with an arch-conservative in Dick Cheney... my impression of the president
is that this is a man with whom you can do business. But it is the men
around him who are dinosaurs, who do not want him to belong to the modern
age."

In fact, behind the scenes, the White House is attempting to portray
Mandela, now 84, as something of a dinosaur himself - the former leader of
an African country, embittered by the impotence that comes with retirement
and old age. It is a charge they have found difficult to make stick. Mandela
has never been particularly encumbered by delusions of grandeur. When asked
whether he would be prepared to mediate in the current dispute, he replied.
"If I am asked by credible organisations to mediate, I will consider that
very seriously. But a situation of this nature does not need an individual,
it needs an organisation like the UN to mediate. A man who has lost power
and influence can never be a suitable mediator."

In truth, since leaving office he has shown consummate diplomatic skill. In
1999, he persuaded Libyan leader Colonel Gadafy to hand over the two alleged
intelligence agents indicted in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing. He was touted as

a possible mediator in the Middle East - a suggestion quashed by the Israeli
government, which was apartheid's chief arms supplier.

Last year he was personally involved in the arrangement - sanctioned by the
UN - to send South African troops to Burundi as a confidence-building
measure in a bid to forestall a Rwandan-style genocide. That does not mean
he always gets it right. He advocated a softly-softly diplomatic approach
towards the Nigerian regime when Ken Saro-Wiwa was on death row. Saro-Wiwa
was murdered and Abacha's regime remained intact. Nor does it mean that he
is above criticism. Arguably, he could have done more to redistribute wealth
during his term in office in South Africa, and he maintained strong
diplomatic relations with some oppressive regimes, such as Indonesia. In
July, a representative of those killed in the Lockerbie disaster described
Mandela's call for the bomber to be transferred to a muslim country as
"outrageous". But it does mean that he is above the disparagement and
disdain usually shown to leaders of the developing world that the west find

awkward.

But if there is something wrong with Mandela it is chiefly that for the past

decade he has been thoroughly and wilfully misunderstood. He has been
portrayed as a kindly old gent who only wanted black and white people to get
along, rather than a determined political activist who wished to redress the
power imbalance between the races under democratic rule. In the years
following his release, the west wilfully mistook his push for peace and
reconciliation not as the vital first steps to building a consensus that
could in turn build a battered nation but as a desire to both forgive and
forget.

When he displayed a lack of personal malice, they saw an abundance of
political meekness. There is an implicit racism in this that goes beyond
Mandela to the way in which the west would like black leaders to behave.
After slavery and colonialism, comes the desire to draw a line under the
past and a veil over its legacy. So long as they are preaching non-violence
in the face of aggression, or racial unity where there has been division,
then everyone is happy. But as soon as they step out of that comfort zone,
the descent from saint to sinner is a rapid one. The price for a black
leader's entry to the international statesman's hall of fame is not just the
sum of their good works but either death or half of their adult life behind

bars.

In order to be deserving of accolades, history must first be rewritten to
deprive them of their militancy. Take Martin Luther King, canonised after
his death by the liberal establishment but vilified in his last years for
making a stand against America's role in Vietnam. One of his aides, Andrew
Young, recalled: "This man who had been respected worldwide as a Nobel Prize
winner suddenly applied his non-violence ethic and practice to the realm of
foreign policy. And no, people said, it's all right for black people to be
non-violent when they're dealing with white people, but white people don't
need to be non-violent when they're dealing with brown people."

So it was for Mandela when he came to Britain in 1990, after telling
reporters in Dublin that the British government should talk to the IRA,
presaging developments that took place a few years later. The then leader of
the Labour party, Neil Kinnock, called the remarks "extremely ill-advised";
Tory MP Teddy Taylor said the comments made it "difficult for anyone with
sympathy for the ANC and Mandela to take him seriously."

He made similar waves in the US when he refused to condemn Yasser Arafat,
Colonel Gadafy and Fidel Castro. Setting great stock by the loyalty shown to
both him and his organisation during the dog days of apartheid, he has
consistently maintained that he would stick by those who stuck by black
South Africa. It was wrong, he told Americans, to suggest that "our enemies
are your enemies... We are a liberation movement and they support our
struggle to the hilt."

This, more than anything, provides the US and Britain with their biggest
problem. They point to pictures of him embracing Gaddafi or transcripts of

his support for Castro as evidence that his judgment has become flawed over
the years. But what they regard as his weakness is in fact his strength. He
may have forgiven, but he has not forgotten. His recent criticisms of
America stretch back over 20 years to its "unqualified support of the Shah
of Iran [which] lead directly to the Islamic revolution of 1979".

The trouble is not that, when it comes to his public pronouncements, Mandela
is acting out of character. But that, when it comes to global opinion, the
US and Britain are increasingly out of touch.

LEGALISE ALL DRUGS WORLDWIDE, SAYS MOWLAM

Mo Mowlam, the former cabinet minister responsible for drugs policy, is

calling for the international legalisation of the drugs trade as part of a
more effective drive to combat terrorism.

Writing in the Guardian today, Ms Mowlam says: "Rather than bombing
civilians in various Muslim countries, the United States and Britain should

begin to take a more intelligent approach to the international drugs trade,
namely to legalise it internationally."

Ms Mowlam, already an advocate of the legalisation of cannabis in Britain,
is unlikely to find her latest proposal embraced by Downing Street but she
will find support from some drugs specialists, who believe the battle to
stop trafficking, with its inextricable links with terrorism, cannot succeed
through mere suppression.

THE DRUG CZAR MUST ABDICATE

According to survey data released this month, past-month use of illegal
drugs increased from 6.3 percent in 2001 to 7.1 percent last year. These
numbers can mean only one thing: It's payback time.

"Drug use has gone up significantly during the first full year of the Bush
Administration," crows Bob Weiner, spokesman for the Office of National
Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) for most of the Clinton years. The headline

over the press release reads, "Survey: Bush Reversing Drug Use Reductions."

Weiner says "the new administration needs to quit laying blame and start
supporting successful Clinton era bipartisan drug programs such as the
National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign." He bravely insists that a
"comprehensive strategy" of "education, prevention, treatment, law
enforcement, and foreign policy initiatives must continue to be funded in
full."

Please subscribe to new MMM email list. Public archive still open.

The public MMM email list at Yahoo Groups now requires people to subscribe

in order to post messages to the list and the public archive. For a few

weeks I set it up so that non-members could also send in email messages to

the list. That was to help people send in MMM rally reports. It worked.

The archive also got some spam too. That was deleted. But people should

keep sending in MMM-related stuff. Just subscribe first.

The MMM message archive itself is still public and accessible to anybody:
