City Of Berkeley Considers Aiding Marijuana Patients

Submitted by Phusion on Sun, 01/27/2008 - 01:48
The Contra Costa Times reports that the city of Berkeley has a plan to provide medical Marijuana to patients, should the DEA raid their dispensaries. This reporter is quite impressed, what a powerful statement! Here's the usual snip:
Berkeley is considering a plan to help get medical marijuana to patients if the Drug Enforcement Administration shuts down any of the city-permitted cannabis clubs.

The plan by City Councilmen Darryl Moore and Kriss Worthington already has drawn fire from the Berkeley police, the city manager's office and the DEA.

The resolution before the City Council on Tuesday night declares Berkeley a sanctuary for medical marijuana users and distributors, and says "the city itself shall ensure a continuum of access to medical marijuana" if the DEA moves in.
This should be policy for all major cities that have medical Marijuana programs, the DEA has no business taking away medicine from people who need it. Do we have any readers in or around Berkeley, CA?

It is usually the Scientist

It is usually the Scientist and Medical profesionals that show the compassion to the people that would benefit. The problem is Marijuana has become one of the top unethical political movements. Why is it a political battle? Anyone the reads the studies and research released on Marijuana's medical acheivements can not ethically deny its medical uses. I remember watching something with Al Gore once and he said that when he started politics he was in total shock that getting scientific proof of something was not good enough to make changes. He was talking about the environment but the same holds true for Marijuana. We need people in office that will take the scientific research and apply the risk analysis to that to make the best choices for the people that voted them into that office. I have not met a reputable doctor yet that has not admitted that marijuana is a medication. Drew http://drootopia.blogspot.com/

Yeah, man... Berkeley is totally like a Tim Burton movie.

It's sweet, and poignant like Tim Burton, and is also sort of cuddly, like an old trash can sliding down into a ravine.

I live in Berkeley, and sometimes I get confused when somebody puts on a Tim Burton movie. I never know if I'm watching reality through a, like, little box, or if it's really real.

Sometimes, I wonder if I'm in a Tim Burton movie. Wouldn't that be cool? I would be like Edward scissorhands, but not very much like Jack the pumpkin king because he can bend. And I can't.

But who, like, knows what reality is and what movies are anyway, man, like, movies are made of light, and that's all we see is light. So how do we know, anyway?
