Smoked Marijuana Is Medicine: Feds Still Distributing Rolled Joints

U.S. federal government joints come ready-rolled in tins of 300, as pictured above.
Despite the continued denials from the U.S. federal government — and its absurdly erroneous classification of cannabis as a Schedule I substance, meaning it by definition has a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical uses — the feds themselves have been giving out free marijuana to a limited group of patients for 30 years.
The program had grown to close to 30 patients at its height, but in 1992 stopped accepting any new participants, during the George H.W. Bush Administration.
Activists speculated that happened because of the advent of the HIV/AIDS crisis; with the widespread need of such patients for medicinal cannabis, pot’s medical usefulness could have become uncomfortably obvious to the public at large once hundreds or thousands of people had permission to use it.
Despite the program not having accepted any new patients for more than 20 years, the four surviving federal medical marijuana patients still get their 300 (stale, low-quality) joints a month, and will until they die. Never mind that it’s only 3.5 percent THC (maybe that’s why the federal government recommends its patients use 10 “marijuana cigarettes” a day!) plus being 10 years old and stale as shit by the time the patients receive it.
The federal government seems to heap particular scorn upon the idea of marijuana as smoked medicine. Which is mighty odd, when you consider that every patient in the Compassionate Investigational New Drug program, underway since 1982, gets 300 joints a month, rolled and ready to smoke!
Even while they’re handing out hundreds of ready-to-smoke joints a month, they put bullshit like this on government websites like this one from the DEA [PDF]:
Specifically, smoked marijuana has not withstood the rigors of science-it is not medicine, and it is not safe.
Seems somebody’s talking out of both sides of their mouth.
Marijuana has currently accepted medical use, even in smoked form. The United States federal government actually prescribes and dispenses smoked medical marijuana — supposedly a dangerous, addictive Schedule I substance — to its own citizens!
Marijuana prohibition is unconstitutional, according to author/legal expert Hoam Rogh, author of The U.S. v. Yerbas.

Red Ice Radio – Ian Crane – Depopulation Disasters, Fukushima, E. Coli & Stuxnet (audio)
Red Ice Radio
January 16, 2011
Geo-political researcher, public speaker and former oilfield executive, Ian Crane joins us to talk about questionable manmade disasters over the last 14 months. We begin recapping the BP oil spill in the Gulf and discuss the latest developments. Ian tells us about Robert Calusa who he believes was placed on an oil rig intentionally on April 16, 2010 to help create the spill. He also tells us why and how he thinks the Gulf area has been turned into a laboratory and talks about the “behavioral health” payments issued from BP to residents of the Gulf area. We also discuss miscarriages of women in the Gulf, same as the dolphins and the status on oil-devouring microbes. Then, we talk about Fukushima. Ian shares some ideas about why he thinks Japan was targeted. He links Fukushima to the largest E.coli breakout, resistant to penicillin, in Germany. It seems Germany has been keeping an eye on world events. They’ve also been the forefront resistance against the EU’s plan to use GM crops. Now they’re shutting down pre 1980 nuclear plants and winding down the nuclear program. Has biological warfare been released upon Germany?
3 Strategies to Make Your New Year’s Resolution a Success
by Mike Barrett
Activist Post
January 1, 2012
In reality, a New Year’s resolution isn’t much different than any other resolution made on any other day. But still nearly everyone takes this time to set a new goal.
Actually, the goal set is often the same as the previous year since people seldom follow through with their New Year’s resolution.
Interestingly, not achieving that specific goal each year is making the following achievement that much more difficult due to so many subconscious past ‘failures’. For this reason it is very important to follow through with your goal setting, and here are a few extremely beneficial tips on how to do so.
Always Think About Your Goal
Thinking about what you want is the first step to achievement — after identifying what you want of course. You can put up memory triggers around the house such as post-it notes, computer backgrounds, pictures, books, or anything that will make you think of the goal you want. You could even place an object on the floor and give it a hidden meaning related to the goal you desire. Each time you walk past this object, you will notice it and therefore think about what you want.
Do not think about what you don’t want, think about what you do want. For example, think ‘I want to be thin’ instead of ‘I don’t want to be fat’.
Avoid Anything that Says “You can’t do it”
While the subconscious negative thoughts stemming from all the past ‘failures’ are making things more difficult, you certainly don’t need to surround yourself with other things or people that amplify that feeling of failure. It is all too often that we set our own goal only for our closest friends and family members to knock us down. It is unfortunate that this happens, but it is very much a reality. While you can’t always completely avoid these people, and probably often don’t want to, you can avoid getting into conversations that lead to the put down of your goals. This negative influence around us is a huge factor in why so many people discontinue their resolution so early, and while it often seems difficult to solve, you can do it if you have true determination.
Set a Goal You Know You Can Achieve
Another very common mistake in goal setting is setting the bar too high. We’ve been conditioned more or less to aim high and shoot for the stars; and while that kind of thinking can be fantastic, it usually leads to a far-future, difficult goal to attain.
A resolution of losing 50 pounds may sound better than a resolution of losing 10 pounds, but what if you don’t achieve the goal? You have just made a subconscious negative ‘you can’t do it’ in your head, and that will work against your next goal. If you do achieve the loss of 10 pounds, however, it has just been proven that a you can really achieve what you set out to do. Once you achieve that goal, you will feel so good that you’ll set a goal to lose another 10 pounds, and you know you can do it. It is better to aim for 10 and lose 12 than aim for 30 and lose 25.
Unfortunately, these are very real reasons why goals are not achieved. People all too often read these kinds of messages and then experience a surge of inspiration and motivations, but before the next day arrives that feeling vanishes.
Constantly think about your goal and consistently know you can do it, because you can.

Major Voting Fraud at Iowa Caucus Robs Ron Paul, GSK Vaccine Trial Kills 14 Babies! (video)
Infowars Nightly News
January 6, 2012
In the wake of Mitt Romney’s dramatic close finish in Iowa, Rob Dew will put together a number of reports on anomalies during the Iowa caucus voting process, with focus on Clinton County, where a ‘computer glitch’ reportedly delayed a vote count. Audio from the head of Clinton County Republican Women’s Club gives us some important information on this issue. Put that into perspective with lax voter ID requirements, reports that lights went out during vote tallies, the reported secret vote counting locations, letters from our readers (that will be covered by Dew) and much more.
Other news focuses on various cases in the ever-escalating war on food & medicine, with FritoLay now facing a lawsuit alleging that it deceptively marketed genetically-modified snack foods as “all natural.” Meanwhile, the British Medical Journal published a study that shows many drug manufacturers have been found to frequently leave out inconvenient data when publishing trial results. Meanwhile, GlaxoSmithKline was fined $400,000 pesos by an Argentine judge after 14 babies died during illegal lab vaccine trials conducted between 2007 and 2008. Finally, the EU is planning to add a VAT tax to food, putting even greater pressure on families dealing with the rising costs of paying for essentials.

Doctor Admits TSA Body Scanners Can Cause Cancer: Infowars Nightly News (video)

Co-host Rob Dew will cover news for the day, including calls from the former head of the Secret Service to establish a ‘global e-mail fusion center’ that would effectively be capable of tracking and tracing all private mail sent over the Internet– in the name, of course, of stopping terrorism.
Reports show that Homeland Security conducted an unannounced ID checkpoint at a Florida social security office, refusing to explain to the media or Florida officials the rationale behind the heavily-armed “drill.” “With their blue and white SUVs circled around the Main Street office, at least one official was posted on the door with a semiautomatic rifle, randomly checking identifications. And other officers, some with K-9s, sifted through the building,” reported the Daily Commercial.
The TSA continues to face not only opposition to its policies from travelers, but from credible critics as well. Dr. Edward Dauer, head of radiology at the Florida Medical Center, has come forward to warn that the controversial body scanners used at airport checkpoints can cause cancer, particularly affecting those over age 65, as well as women of all age who’ve been found with genetic predisposition to developing breast cancer.

‘Synthetic’ marijuana becoming a problem for US military
Vision To America
December 30, 2011
U.S. troops are increasingly using an easy-to-get herbal mix called “Spice,” which mimics a marijuana high, is hard to detect and can bring on hallucinations that last for days.
The abuse of the substance has so alarmed military officials that they’ve launched an aggressive testing program that this year has led to the investigation of more than 1,100 suspected users.
So-called “synthetic” pot is readily available on the Internet and has become popular nationwide in recent years, but its use among troops and sailors has raised concerns among the Pentagon brass.
