IF IT WAS NOT MEDICINE WHY DID THEY USE IT?

Posted by Anonymous at April 28. 2008

Honorable Judge Claudia Wilken, Please take a moment to educate yourself on the history behind the crime of producing Medicinal cannabis in this country. I promise it will only take few minutes of your precious time to look at the many references and images of the historic use of cannabis as medicine, and look at the "so called" criminals (almost every Pharmaceutical company) who used to produce medicines in this country. This has many images of pre1937 Cannabis Medicines produced and sold in this country. THE ANTIQUE CANNABIS BOOK With Over 600 Pre-1937 Medical Cannabis Products Documented;---a Great Resource book for the Antique Cannabis Collector http://antiquecannabisbook.com/ =========================== Please take just a moment to at least click on these links of you do not want to spend the day on this subject,,,,,then click on the pictures.....it was medicine! Chapter 11 CANNABIS - A CENTURY OF MEDICAL USES http://antiquecannabisbook.com/chap11/MedUses.htm ========================================= Chapter 18 CANNABIS SEDATIVES, HYPNOTICS AND BROMIDES http://antiquecannabisbook.com/chap18/Sedative.htm ====================================== Just like Tainted http://antiquecannabisbook.com/chap18/Hasheesh.htm ====================================== Pharmaceutical company's who used to produce cannabis medicines in this country. http://antiquecannabisbook.com/Appendix/MfgIndex.htm APPENDIX -- A INDEX OF Pre-1937 MEDICAL CANNABIS MANUFACTURERS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asking any present-day Drug/Pharmaceutical manufacturer if they ever used Medical Cannabis in any of their pre-1937 medical products is a bit of a joke. Each and every last one of them (while not actually denying it) will simply tell you that they don't have any records or information about the subject. All this makes it hard for present-day historians to locate and identify pre-1937 Medical Marihuana (then known as Cannabis) medical products. It is for this reason that the museum has put together the following index list; as sources of documentation, we have used the following: An advertisement by the company or medical article about its products - stating that they make use of cannabis. An actual product container or label, which states the cannabis, is an ingredient. A confirmation statement from a reputable librarian or company spokesperson. Manufacturers sales literature, such as sales and product catalogs, pamphlets, etc., stating that cannabis is in use. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Abbott Laboratories Allaire Woodward & Co. - Peoria, IL.- (sold crude botanical drugs) Allan Pfeiffer Chemical Co. - St. Louis, MO.

I am asking you for compassion in your sentencing of the two remaining defendants. We need your help! Federal Statute can need to be changed as education and attitudes change. Federal Statute used to demand fugitive slaves be returned to their "rightful owners" in the south, even if they escaped to the north where slavery was illegal. Some laws need to be changed, even if "law enforcement does not like it." I am asking for compassion for the two remaining defendants. They have always tried to do the right thing. Michael Martin returned from his vacation and turned himself in, and if given home detention would honor his word to stay home with his family. He is not a dangerous man, and should not be given sentence that puts him at risk, his health at risk, or his family. Many in the medical cannabis community feel he is a hero....for many reasons, among them his compassion for those that are poor. I have heard of him delivering to hospital a basket of free edibles to a person who gets allergic reactions to opiates. I received many free edibles at California Cannabis Events from Mr. Martin and so did many other people. Money was not what motivated this man. He had a passion for producing real quality medical grade edibles. I would point out that the queen of England used to eat hashish laced chocolates and truffles. Was she a criminal? Michael Martin has earned a place of honor in our community by taking this hit, and trying to do the right thing by his employees. We ask that you do the right thing and consider this case in a special manner, think, study and then make a decision for leniency with the two remaining defendants both Michael Martin and Jessica Sanders. I would recommend home detention for them both as well, and a minimum sentence. Why Not? We have the largest prison percapita population in the world. One person in a hundred is behind bars. And for what? So we can perpetuate bad law, bad science, and bad history concerning medicine, and market place competition? Use your invisible hand of justice well, do the right thing, make a decision for leniency with the two remaining defendants because only you have the power. TO SAY THAT CANNABIS IS NOT MEDICINE IS A LIE....AND IF YOU ARE A RELIGIOUS MAN WHO BELIEVES IN THE BIBLE.....YOU KNOW THE RIGHT THING TO DO. I AM NOT A BELIEVER, HOW COULD GOD DO THIS TO MAN? PROVERBS 19: 9 The false witness will not be free from punishment, and he that launches forth mere lies will perish. EZEKIEL 13:8-9 "Therefore, this is what the Lord Jehovah has said: "For the reason that you men have spoken untruth and you have envisioned a lie, therefore here I am against you" is the utterance of the Lord Jehovah. And my hand has come to be against the prophets that are visioning untruth and that are divining a lie. In the intimate group of my people they will not continue on, and in the register of the house of Israel they will not be written, and to the soil of Israel they will not come; and you people will have to know that I am the Lord Jehovah." JOHN 8:44 "You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because the truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie." Jesus Christ DO THE RIGHT THING! Thank you very much for this as well: Second Tainted Sentencing: No Prison, No Drug Tests for Michael Anderson Written by Vanessa Nelson Michael Anderson OAKLAND, CA -- There will be no trial for Compassion Medicinal Edibles, the medical marijuana candy-maker better known as Tainted Inc. All of the defendants in the case have now pled guilty, and the latest plea bargain was finalized just yesterday. After flying in from Georgia, Michael Anderson appeared in Oakland federal court and received a sentence of two years probation with no drug testing required. He was elated by the decision, repeatedly praising his judge and probation department for treating him fairly.

Case Written by Vanessa Nelson Jessica SandersOAKLAND, CA -- After a fortnight of soul-searching, Jessica Sanders has decided that she will not fight the federal felony charge stemming from her employment with medical marijuana candymaker Tainted Inc. Instead, Sanders signed and accepted a plea bargain in court yesterday, finalizing what was a very difficult choice. Her role in the business had been a minor one – she took the phone orders for Tainted Inc.’s marijuana-infused food products – but she was charged with a felony nonetheless. At the time of her arraignment, she felt inclined to take a plea bargain and get the case resolved as soon as possible. But shortly afterward, she began to consider the possibility of going to trial and fighting her charge. A felony conviction, after all, carries a slew of grave consequences, and Sanders had to be sure that she could accept this fate.

What's reasonable about marijuana laws based on the most absurd fictions in "Marihuana influences Negroes to look at white people in the eye, step on white men's shadows and look at a white woman twice." (Hearst newspapers nationwide, 1934) "There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the U.S., and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana use. This marijuana can cause white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others." US Government Propaganda To Outlaw Marijuana "The primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races." US Government Propaganda To Outlaw Marijuana "Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality and death." US Government Propaganda To Outlaw Marijuana "Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind." US Government Propaganda To Outlaw Marijuana "[Smoking] one [marihuana] cigarette might develop a homicidal mania, probably to kill his brother."
