Criminal 'Defense' Attorneys May Include Our Biggest Traitors to Drug Policy Reform

From the comments section of an article 'Beyond Marijuana- Legalize All Drugs' By Froma Harrop http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20141002/OPINION04/141009894# An exchange with a criminal 'defense' attorney that says " I don't even want to hear the synthetic vs. natural argument because it's just plain stupid" , and elsewhere "I'm a criminal defense attorney who has handled literally thousands of pounds worth of marijuana cases, most of that weight being Mexican pot pulled off I-40" - makes a living leaching off the public and clients via processing countless drug cases.  He is potentially dependent upon the other drugs remaining illegal.

First, A Short Summary: Researchers are “just discovering” that Cannabis can control Epileptic seizures ( Most recent New England Journal of Medicine ) Researchers have not yet looked at Cannabis for use in Dementia/Alzheimer’s, even though seizures are common and are a leading cause of death in Dementia/Alzheimer’s. Maybe that’s because while Congress has committed some $5.4 billion this fiscal year to cancer research, about $1.2 billion to heart disease and $3 billion to research on HIV/AIDS, research funding for Alzheimer’s is “only” $566 million. Clearly that’s just not enough for researchers (mostly Big Pharma employees) to look into Cannabis as a treatment. On a related note, California researchers have just shown that a sleeping sickness drug developed in 1916 can rever...

AMA Quack Morris Fishbein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Fishbein#cite_note-2 Morris Fishbein M.D. (July 22, 1889 – September 27, 1976) was a physician with surprisingly little clinical experience but despite this he became the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association ( JAMA ) from 1924 to 1950. In 1961 he became the founding Editor of Medical World News , a magazine for doctors. In 1970 he endowed the Morris Fishbein Center. [1] He was also notable for exposing quacks , notably the goat-gland surgeon John R. Brinkley , and campaigning for regulation of medical devices. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dana-ullman/how-the-ama-got-rich-powe_b_6103720.html excerpt Fishbein was a medical doctor who did not practice medicine. He was, however, an effective advocate for conventional medicine and a vocal critic of unconventional treatments. Shortly after he became head of the AMA, he wrote several books sharply critical of "medical quackery." He called ch...
