Weed Wars: Watch a 5-Year Old Use Medical Marijuana Tonight
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Fri, December, 9th 2011 by THCFinder
A few common schools of thought persist in the medical marijuana debate -- on one end, doubters point to young men at dispensaries and say that the drug is widely abused by people who are "not that sick." On the other hand, believers say that you don't need to be on death's door to benefit from medicine. And isn't Oxycontin prescription heroin, anyway?
 
A scene bound to engender even more controversy over medical marijuana will be broadcast on national television tonight, when a father will administer medical marijuana to his 5-year-old epileptic son for the first time in front of film crews for the Discovery Channel's Weed Wars.
 
Proposition 215 recommendations and marijuana use have been good enough reasons for Child Protective Services to take children away from their pot-smoking parents. So then, is giving an admittedly sick kid pot on TV such a good idea?
 
As its PR machine informed the world, Weed Wars followed around the world of Harborside Health Center for a few months, filming a day in the life of the nation's largest cannabis dispensary and its charismatic CEO, Steve DeAngelo. 
 
In this case, DeAngelo's crew recommended medical marijuana for a desperate "single father", Jason, whose son, Jayden, began experiencing hour-long seizures at the age of four months. The child is given what some might call the devil's weed via a few drops of CBD-laden tincture administered under the tongue. CBD, we may remind you, is the cannabinoid that is associated with non-intoxicating, healing properties; the medical student to its partying roommate, THC.
 
The first episode aired last week, and the second comes on tonight at 10 on the Discovery Channel. Check your local listings, or break down and order cable (or, like us, just get to know someone who has it).
 
Tales of children who are hospitalized after inadvertently eating marijuana-laden brownies or cookies have been in the mainstream media recently. But often neglected in the marijuana debate is whether -- like Ritalin -- medical cannabis is okay for children to consume.
 
In fact, it was the specter of kids smoking pot legally that caused opponents of the drug to pounce in 1996, when Prop. 215 was passed. And indeed, stiff criminal penalties for those using pot in front of children have been floated even by medical marijuana advocates -- included in Prop. 19 last year, supported by DeAngelo, for example.
 
However, at least one other sick child -- 2-year-old Cash Hyde who suffered a brain tumor -- has been given medical cannabis as a healing agent -- and it worked, according to his father.  
 
So if a father's last resort was medical marijuana and it worked to heal his son, what's the harm?

Police raid Pomona marijuana dispensary
Category: Dispensaries | Posted on Fri, December, 9th 2011 by THCFinder
POMONA -- A SWAT team raided a medical marijuana dispensary Thursday and arrested a Rialto man on suspicion of possession of marijuana for sales, authorities said.
 
Javier Sarabia, 33, was booked at the Pomona Police Department's jail and released later in the day after posting $20,000 bail, according to county booking records.
 
SWAT team members and detectives served a search warrant about 10:45 a.m. at "Natural Remedies," 162 E. First Street, Pomona police Sgt. Duane Leonard said in a written statement.
 
"The search warrant was obtained as the result of a month-long investigation into the illegal sales of marijuana from the location," Leonard said. "The investigation was prompted by complaints from citizens regarding the illegal activity."
 
About a pound of marijuana, cash and weapons were seized during the operation, officials said.
 
"This location is among many other store front marijuana sales locations that have been closed in recent months," Leonard said.

Eric Holder okay with lawful MMCs, but do threats remain?
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Fri, December, 9th 2011 by THCFinder
This week, Congressman Jared Polis quizzed U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder about the Department of Justice's approach to medical marijuana; see a video of the exchange below. For the most part, Holder suggested that MMJ businesses following state law are not Department of Justice priorities, despite recent crackdowns in California and elsewhere. Attorney Jessica Peck sees positives in his responses, but also areas of concern for the industry.
 
Peck, a lawyer and political strategist for Henley Public Affairs, is a fan of Polis's. "I've spoken with him, and I'm very impressed with how he talks with all the different stakeholders and works with everyone, including Republicans," she says. "I think he went into the committee hearing trying to get points from all perspectives, which is what a congressman should do."
 
​Regarding Holder's responses to Polis's questions, she calls them "fascinating, because you have the White House now saying it stands behind its previous position as outlined in the Ogden memo" -- a 2009 document penned by Deputy Attorney General David Ogden, which directed U.S. Attorneys not to target medical marijuana businesses in states where they're legal as long as they're following state law.
 
This summer, a memo by another deputy attorney general, James Cole "articulated a different position" than did the Ogden directive, Peck believes. In it, Cole wrote that while "it is likely not an efficient use of federal resources to focus enforcement efforts on individuals with cancer or other serious illnesses who use marijuana as part of a recommended treatment regiment consistent with applicable state law, or their caregivers," he stressed that the term "caregiver" means "individuals providing care to individuals with cancer or other serious illnesses, not commercial operations cultivating, selling or distributing marijuana." In other words, a dispensary isn't a caregiver.
 
Given this apparent shift, Peck was cheered when Holder said the Ogden memo is still current. That shows "the White House is standing behind its original position," she feels, "and that's significant. And I also thought Holder's wording was interesting. It was clear he didn't know a lot about Colorado's system. But he did say it's the federal government's position that so long as people are acting in conformity with state law, the feds don't see it as a law enforcement priority. That's different from what was previously said, which called for 'unambiguous compliance.'
