To Whom It Concerns:It is imperative that America embarks immediately into a discussion of why the federal government is so intent on locking terminally ill people up for choosing a medicine that works.
The fanaticism with which federal judges and prosecutors pursue Peter McWilliams and others who want to help sick people is almost impossible to believe, if not for the fact of the prosecutions.These trials, the confiscation of birdseed shipments, and the deaths of marijuana users during apprehension or incarceration all indicate an out-of-control government that is out of touch with mainstream thought.Peter McWilliams will probably die soon, separated from his medicine of choice by a federal process that is just that: a process that has no consideration for the misery that it is causing, and will further cause if it suceeds.Please help this country to heal. There is so much REAL danger in America that we must stop trying to lock up all who want to use marijuana for medicine.The argument that Congress passed a law stating that marijuana has NO medical value flies in the face of the IOM report, that was comissioned by the Drug Czar.The IOM report says that marijuana HAS some medical value, the federal government is today providing marijuana to eight individuals for medical use and there are many respectedorganizations including the AMA that say that marijuana is useful.How can the federal courts in California continue this witch hunt? Why do they do it? Please investigate and tell us why. We need your help.Thank You for your attention.Peace to all.Related Articles & Web Sites:DrugSense FOCUS Alert # 135http://www.mapinc.org/alert/0135.htmlHelp, Again, Please From Peter McWilliams - 11/07/99http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread3592.shtmlMcWilliams Not Allowed To Use Medical Defensehttp://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread3591.shtmlNew York Times Article:LA Drug Case Bars Medical Marijuana Defense - 11/07/99http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread3585.shtmlVote On Medical Marijuanahttp://www.vote.com/Fully Informed Jury Associationhttp://www.fija.org/215 NOW!http://www.215now.com/Medical Marijuana Magazinehttp://MarijuanaMagazine.com/McWilliams.comhttp://McWilliams.com/PeterTrialhttp://www.petertrial.com/ Todd McCormick's Grow Medicinehttp://growmedicine.com/Renee Boje's Legal Defense Fundhttp://thecompassionclub.org/renee
