Life without Parole for nonviolent Cannabis conviction
http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/dai...efforts_co.php
Efforts to release Jeff Mizanskey, the only man in Missouri serving a life-without-parole sentence for a nonviolent marijuana charge, are continuing this month with help from Show-Me Cannabis and Change.org. Show-Me Cannabis has bought billboard space on I-70 near Kansas City (and near Sedalia, where Mizanskey was arrested). The billboard features a photo of Mizanskey and says: "Life without parole for cannabis? It's time we fix our unjust marijuana laws." Jeff Mizanskey was convicted under Missouri's "Prior and Persistent Drug Offender" statute, the only drug-specific three-strike law in the country. Each of his felonies were for marijuana, the largest being approximately six pounds, which he didn't even have on him. To read the details of Mizanskey's story, go to: How a Missouri Man Could Die in Prison for Weed |

As a non physician some of the most ridiculously clueless people I have met have been PHD's. Something about adding that Dr title seems to make people stop thinking clearly. They are all really smart, but most are clueless when it comes to reality. And I deal with a ton of them in my line of work. You dont seem to be the exception |

And BTW meth and heroin dont really have any allopathic uses but like I said, I cant expect common sense dealing with you.

You do realize that most of the deaths from those drugs come from it being illegal right? The user doesn't know what the drugs were cut with or what the purity of the drug is. Those problems go away when you legalize because suddenly the suppliers are liable for their product. |

methamphetamine is a stimulant. amphetamines and opiods are used to treat disease or manage their side-effects. To claim that heroin and meth dont have allopathic uses is absurd. |

In medicine we have the principle of autonomy. Respect for autonomy includes respecting an individual’s right to self-determination as well as creating the conditions necessary for autonomous choice. Thus my job is to provide patients with the knowledge so that they can make an informed decision. I try to avoid a paternalistic relationship with my patients, and I dont think that the government should have a "nanny" state relationship with citizens telling them what they should and shouldnt eat, drink, smoke, shoot-up, etc. As for other reasons why heroin, meth, coke, etc should be legal: 1. Legalizing drugs would make our streets and homes safer. 2. End prison overcrowding. 3. Drug legalization would free up police resources to fight non-drug related crimes against people and property. 4. Unclog the court system. 5. Reduce corruption of officials. 6. Legalization would save tax money. 7. Legalized drugs would cripple organized crime. 8. Legal drugs would be safer. Legalization is a consumer protection issue. 9. Legalization would slow the spread of AIDS and other diseases. 10. Legalization would halt the erosion of other civil liberties. 11. Legalization would stabilize foreign countries and make them safer for residents and travelers. 12. Legalization would repair U.S. relations with other countries and curtail anti-American sentiment around the world. |

What does the AMA think about your proposal? Why are you more credible than them? Thanks, in advance, for your response. FWIW, any doc who has time to spend here that you seem to...well, heh, it's "interesting" to say the least....
