ATF Tells Gun Dealers They Can't Sell to Medical Marijuana Patients

Category: News | Posted on Fri, September, 30th 2011 by THCFinder
There is absolutely no reason that the ATF should be trying to ban medical marijuana patients from having firearms. You can take morphine, vicodin, tylenol, alcohol but if you smoke marijuana you SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OWN A FIREARM... what kind of nonsense is this crap?
 
Last time I checked my medical history and anything related is private and is no one elses business!
 
While some citizens may have won the right to use medical marijuana, winning one right may come at the expense of another. 
 
In a letter to firearms dealers across the country, federal authorities are being clear that firearms should not be sold to medical marijuana users.
 
The Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agency (ATF) is sending a letter to gun dealers warning them it is illegal to sell the weapons to people who admit smoking medical marijuana and have a medical marijuana card -- something the card holders are unimpressed about.
 
"I'm a medical marijuana patient and I own a gun," says Arizona resident Sunny Singh, who fears his right to carry a firearm will be affected.
 
"A lot of these people who really need medical marijuana as a medicine shouldn't be targeted or have their rights taken away."
 
Even though voters made medical marijuana legal in Arizona at the end of last year, the federal government says the drug is still illegal.
 
Federal laws say dealers cannot sell guns to people who use illegal drugs or are addicted to drugs.
 
But the law doesn't specify whether or not gun dealers are required to ask customers if they have a medical marijuana card. There is confusion about the consequences if a card holder buys a gun and simply does not tell the dealer.
 
"Clarification would be nice, let people know what the rules are so they can understand if they're doing the right or wrong thing," Singh says.

Tempe medical-marijuana clinic raided by DEA
Category: Dispensaries | Posted on Fri, September, 30th 2011 by THCFinder
One of the few locations that were trying to help medical marijuana patients in Arizona has been raided and shut down by the DEA.
 
A medical-marijuana clinic owner and his girlfriend were arrested after the Drug Enforcement Administration raided the Tempe facility Thursday morning.
 
James Chaney and Rachael Beeder were booked into Maricopa County jail, according to DEA spokeswoman Ramona Sanchez.
 
Charges were pending. The two will most likely face charges of illegal distribution of marijuana, said Sanchez.
 
Chaney is the owner of Arizona Go Green Compassion Club, near Rural and Southern avenues.
 
The DEA was serving a search warrant for the location.
 
"Essentially what we discovered is that they were illegally distributing marijuana for a fee," Sanchez said. "Which of course is a federal violation."
 
The investigation is continuing, and further arrests were possible, Sanchez said.

Marijuana penalties too harsh
Category: News | Posted on Thu, September, 29th 2011 by THCFinder

For some reason we are going backwards with the fight on marijuana when it comes to Canadas idea of punishment for simple posession. 

Within the next several weeks, Stephen Harper and the Conservatives will very likely pass their omnibus crime bill. Within this bill, is the Organized Drug Crime Act (formerly Bill S-10).
 
Among other items, the bill states that if you are caught with six or more marijuana plants, there is a mandatory, minimum six-month prison sentence. The maximum sentence will increase from nine months to 14 years with the passing of this bill. Now let's think about that for a minute, and look at the facts:
 
Marijuana is one of the safest drugs available today. It is not possible to consume a lethal amount of marijuana.
 
Alcohol is more addictive, more toxic to the brain and liver, and more closely associated with violence (domestic abuse, sexual assault, homicide, suicide).
 
Acetaldehyde, the major byproduct of alcohol metabolism, is toxic and carcinogenic. Thirty-five thousand Americans die yearly as a direct result of alcohol use. Cigarettes kill 1,200 Americans every day, and 5.4 million a year worldwide. (Ethan Nadelmann, JD, PhD).
 
There has never been a death directly associated with marijuana. Marijuana has many medicinal uses. Patients with multiple sclerosis, gliomas, brain injury, Tourettes Syndrome, HIV/AIDS, and many other ailments, have found that marijuana helped them with their symptoms, or slowed the progression of the disease. There is also strong evidence that marijuana kills cancer cells with no harm to healthy surrounding cells (See "Can Cannibus cure Cancer" on DVD).
 
So, why are we enforcing such harsh penalties for growing a plant that has so many medicinal uses, and so little (if any) side effects?
 
I'm stumped.
