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 |

I havent proposed anything with the AMA
1. i never claimed I was. 2. AMA doesnt speak for all physicians 3. AMA (and physicians) have made mistakes in the past. Thus medicine is considered a "practice" and the way its practiced evolves based on a review of literature. Quote:
2. I agree I waste too much time here corresponding with those who, as a whole, are idiots. I was just thinking recently where I could go to converse with more intelligent people (like a Mensa forum), but than realized that those forums that exist wouldnt give that info out.

last thought for tonight (since Kotter has made it clear I waste too much time here):
Education should go hand in hand with legalization. Patients/consumers should have the opportunity and availability to knowledge so they can make an informed decision of what they are consuming. want to use drug X to self-treat Y? here is exactly how much you should safely use, here are the side-effects, here is what to do if you have problems, who to call, and where to go if you need help as well as other recommendations (such as having a sitter for safety). I think we would all be better off if we treat our fellow man with love and compassion, instead of condemning them as criminals for their choices of self-medication. happy easter everybody. |

2. your responses below are based on fear and not based on evidence. You seem to believe that there would be more junkies with drug legalization which would lead to more crime. Where is the evidence? We already have the evidence that the US war on drugs is a failure. Policy should be based on evidence and not conjecture. Quote:
-those who will want to get their fix can get it. If it is legalized than it would be easily available, cheaper, and cleaner Quote:
- you keep talking about afford the habit. the only reason drugs are expensive is because its a black market. Not all users are abuser nor do they all break other laws. Those who abuse and break other laws should have an opportunity for rehab. Quote:
yes, see above. drugs are not the only reason for corruption, but it should be 1 less reason. Whatever the "other reason" is you speak of, it would still exist today while drugs are illegal (essentially keeping drugs illegal isnt preventing a form of corruption from taking hold). Quote:

those who fail to learn from history will soon repeat it. its a complex issue that you fail to grasp. The US drug policy (and forcing other countries to conform) have had lasting and serious consequences around the world. The US war on drugs has led to worldwide conflicts and destabilized other countries. |

Your marijuana laws in Missouri and Kansas are never gonna change if you don't get out of the oppressive republican shadow those states are in. You locals vote them into office off of social prejudice and financial oppression or financial greed. You wanna smoke a doob legally in those states elect a democrat or a libertarian. Until then your under the thumb of ignorant good ole boy white government.

I'm sure others around here are familiar with a "ham sandwich". A badge doesn't magically make one inhuman- for both good and bad inherent in the nature of man.

This legislature in this state has been controlled by Democrats for the better part of the last 20 years. We were one of the first states in the entire country to legalize gay marriage. We're no closer to legalizing marijuana than we were 10 years ago. |
