It is also so important that we understand safe handling for the grower to the patient. With our group of affiliates as a community/committees and the patients who are interested in making an impact. We will set "Standardization and Regulations" to protect this "Cottage Industry" and provide for creditable information and growth.

Cannabis might be one of the most effective modern medical resources. Please join us on this most interesting study.
Hopefully, we can help provide for a more healthy and compassionate world.

The Past, Present, and Future of Medical Marijuana in the United States
On October 19, 2009, the Office of the Deputy US Attorney General issued a memorandum, “Investigations and Prosecutions in States Authorizing the Medical Use of Marijuana.”1 The memo announced a federal policy to abstain from investigating or prosecuting “individuals whose actions are in clear and unambiguous compliance with existing state laws providing for the medical use of marijuana.” The memo made clear, however, that it did not “legalize marijuana or provide a legal defense to a violation of federal law.” Rather, it was “intended solely as a guide to the exercise of investigative and prosecutorial discretion.” This article seeks to place the attorney general’s action in historical, medical, and legal context.

Run From the Cure, A Medicinal Marijuana Mov
Film By Christian Laurette - After a serious head injury in 1997, Rick Simpson sought relief from his medical condition through the use of medicinal marijuana. When Rick discovered that the hemp oil (with its high concentration of T.H.C.) cured cancers and other illnesses, he tried to share it with as many people as he could free of charge - curing and controlling literally hundreds of people's illnesses with the use of medicinal marijuana... but when the story went public, the long arm of the law snatched the medicine - leaving potentially thousands of people without their cancer treatments - and leaving Rick with unconstitutional charges of possessing and trafficking marijuana!

A Primer on Medicinal Cannabis
Cannabis (marijuana) is among the most widely used of all psychoactive drugs. There has been renewed interest in the potential medical uses of cannabis (Cannabis sativa) in recent years.
