Medical Marijuana Quandary
Last week, the City Council passed an urg-ency ordinance to extend a temporary moratorium on dispensaries of medicinal marijuana that has been in place for two years. A ban makes it harder for legitimate users of medical marijuana to obtain their supply.

The Doctor Of Last Resort
When the Medical Marijuana Patients Union held a symposium in Fort Bragg in August, 2004, Sheriff Tony Craver asked an organizer to please introduce him to Dr. Tod Mikuriya. It turned out that Mikuriya had left after participating in a morning panel. "That's one man I've always wanted to meet," said Craver, looking down in disappointment. The sheriff knew there was something unique about Mikuriya, and so did half the cops and prosecutors in California, who, unlike Tony Craver, fiercely resented him for legitimizing people previously considered criminals.

Making A Case For Marijuana Use In Relieving Pain
People suffering from the ravages of chemotherapy, glaucoma, HIV, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy or terminal illnesses sometime turn to marijuana - as a last hope for relief.

Even their doctors can find themselves under fire from prosecutors should they promote the medicinal benefits of pot.

Medical Marijuana Research Should Not Be Hampered
FEDERAL agencies that oppose the medical use of marijuana are in a position to hamper scientific studies by controlling the supply of marijuana to scientists, but an administrative judge had recommended that it allow a Massachusetts researcher to grow his own.

Medical Marijuana Group Moves To Hasten Federal Lawsuit
San Francisco, CA - A national medical marijuana patients' rights group filed a motion for summary judgment today in its lawsuit against the federal government in an attempt to accelerate a decision in the case. The plaintiff, Americans for Safe Access (ASA), filed a lawsuit in February 2007 challenging statements by the federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that marijuana has no accepted medical value. The lawsuit followed a two-year administrative petition process using a little-known law called the Data Quality Act (DQA), which allows parties to challenge the science used in regulatory policy.

Medical Marijuana One Step Away From FDA Development Process
WASHINGTON D.C. - A U.S. Department of Justice-appointed judge submitted her final recommendation to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on May 15, calling on the agency to end a forty-year government monopoly on the supply of research-grade marijuana available for Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved studies. With this monopoly broken, new studies could lead to medical marijuana's availability in pharmacies as a legal, prescription drug.
