We are currently paying volunteers $1 per signature to circulate a petition
for medical cannabis. We need thousands of registered Sacramento County

November ballot. Can you help us? We will pay you by the signature for your
help. Most people who work a full day can make between $100-$200. If you
are interested in helping with our campaign please email, or call
(phone#-removed). For info on the initiative visit www.RegulateSac.org. We have
until June 21st to get the job done. We look forward to your help. Thanks.

yep.
palpable bull. I can smell it from here.
1) at 32 his friend is not the youngest patient to have open heart surgery. It's done on infants and I even think it has been done in-utero.
2)Well you could scrape a half ounce of oil off his shirt, or maybe his chest hairs.
bu,t assuming he smoked the cannabis, the smoke would go into the bronchi.
Certainly Dr. Tashkin,Emeritus Professor of Pulmonology at UCLA School of Medicine and recipient of frequent NIDA grants,would have seen in at least one person in his numerous lung studies on cannabis , a speck of this oil. He didn't,because it wasn't there and couldn't be there..
3)This story is preposterous. Assuming that this guy really believes something like this happened he has his "facts" upside down and backwards, to say the least.
and
4)i wouldn't be surprised if the story teller was drunk or in an altered state when he heard this story( that is if the whole thing ,besides being impossible is a fraud from beginning to end.-
Peace

I brought up this question at the Seventh Biennial Clinical Conference on
Cannabis Therapeutics and the panel of researchers agreed that this claim
makes no sense. They said that when you smoke it, the oils are burned and
released as vapor absorbed into the lungs. When you vaporize, the vapors are
absorbed in the lungs. In neither case do the cannabinoids condense in the
lungs. None of them gave this claim the least bit of credibility.

I have been very disappointed in people's understanding of this extremely
important case. Hopefully this email will help people understand why it
will likely stand, and how legislation such as AB2312 must be re-written to
comply with it.
The PACK decision effectively says: "A city can not issue (or charge lots
of $ for) a 'permit' or 'authorize' anyone to commit hate crimes (or any
other federally illegal crime, such as selling marijuana)"
What the city can do is "Register" a list of "sex offenders" and tell them
if they follow the rules, we won't lock them up again.
When you apply the PACK decision to any other federal crime, it's extremely
easy to understand.
You can read the full decision here:
http://savecannabis.org/pack-decision.pdf
The 2 most important parts are:
Page 3)
*"The question presented by this case is whether the City’s ordinance,
which permits and regulates medical marijuana collectives rather than
merely decriminalizing specific acts, is preempted by federal law. "
*
and
Page 33)
*"The conclusion is inescapable: the City’s permits are more than simply
an easy way to identify those collectives against whom the City has chosen
not to enforce its prohibition against collectives; the permits instead
authorize the operation of collectives by those which hold them. As such,
the permit provisions, including the substantial application fees and
renewal fees, and the lottery system, are federally preempted"
*
IMHO, it is one of the best, well written, cannabis decisions I have ever
read (and I've read most of them).
If you apply the Pack decision to any other federal crime “the conclusion
is inescapable”, the Pack case will stand… if the Pack case does NOT
stand (then AB2312 CAN be adopted).. then it wouldn't be long before cities
can start issuing “kill whitey" "permits", and the government "authorizes"
bank robberies to anyone who pays them $100,000.
This is how the law works…
One of the most disturbing things I learned from the unity conference was
that if the Pack decision stands, AB2312 will be "destroyed". This is
what ASA's Attorney James Anthony claimed, before brushing off the Pack
decision stating it was unlikely to be upheld. It is extremely unfortunate
that the opinions of attorney’s that have never successfully argued a
cannabis case would ever be relied on for this important of fact…
If we are going to pass legislation it needs to comply with the law, if it
is true AB2312 is not Pack compliant, it should never have been introduced
into legislation.
So is James correct? and if so, how did it happen that AB2312 is not Pack
compliant?
Best Regards,
Dave Hodges

*56% Favor Legalizing, Regulating Marijuana*
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/lifestyle/general_lifestyle/may_2012/56_favor_legalizing_regulating_marijuana
Thursday, May 17, 2012
A solid majority of voters nationwide favor legalizing and regulating
marijuana similar to the way alcohol and tobacco cigarettes are currently
regulated. Most also don’t believe it should be a crime for people to smoke
marijuana in the privacy of their own homes.
A new national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 56% favor
legalizing and regulating marijuana in a similar manner to the way alcohol
and tobacco cigarettes are regulated. Thirty-six percent (36%) are opposed
to such a legalizing and regulating pot. (To see survey question wording, click

RE: Pack
As of May 18th the case is "fully briefed":
http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/case/briefing.cfm?dist=0&doc_id=1994201&doc_no=S197169
Unfortunately, the briefs are not easily found online. If anyone knows
where they can be found, I'm interested.
