Sunday, September 8th, 10AM to 7PM - 2013 * HempStalk will probably
happen in Portland, Oregon. * at Kelley Point Park,
N. Marine Dr. and Lombard St. * The reason
marijuana is illegal has very little to do with drugs, and is really about
money and the continued centralization of economic and political control. Hemp
seed oil is biodiesel and is three times more productive than any other seed
oil crop, and hemp seed oil will run any diesel engine today with no
modification. Hemp oil is the reason the petrochemical industry made up the
"reefer madness" myth. They renamed hemp, using racist propaganda,
calling it marijuana, and lied to make it illegal. There is a truth that must
be heard! That's what the Hempstalk Festival is all about. To find out more about HempStalk,

The Center will hold an anniversary celebration from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm on June 8, 2011 at their office, 2055 W. 12th Avenue in Eugene. The public is invited for refreshments, a free raffle and a book signing by Dru West, author of The Secrets of the West Coast Masters: Ultimate Techniques for Growing Medical Marijuana. Compassion Center has grown along with the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP) which had about 2000 patients in 2002 and has nearly 40,000 today, with about 11% of them in Lane county. According to Cheryl K. Smith, Executive Director, "Compassion Center serves about one-third of these local patients and others from around the state in medical clinics, teaches practical classes and provides free information over the phone and in person Monday through Thursday. Because many of our patients are disabled and low-income, we have a low income assistance program for doctor fees, and also provide information on other social service agencies. We recently started a Chronic Pain and Illness Support Group. We also have speakers who are available to medical clinics, disease organizations, universities and other groups that want to learn more about the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program and our services." Preliminary results of a recent survey of Compassion Center patients show that they don't fit the stereotypes that many people have about medical marijuana patients. More than half are over the age of 50, the majority do not use marijuana recreationally, nearly as many medicate or vaporize their medical marijuana as smoke it, and they most commonly use it for severe pain. Mirroring results in California, we found that more than two-thirds of those responding to the survey have used medical marijuana to decrease or quit another substance, including pharmaceutical drugs, street drugs, alcohol and tobacco-making marijuana a viable harm reduction method. Final survey results will be available by the end of the month. For additional information, contact: Cheryl K. Smith, Executive Director, Compassion Center, (541) 484-6558, (541) 484-0891, execdir@compassioncenter.net, <http://www.compassioncenter.net/> Compassion Center is a nonprofit corporation established to work for the proper implementation of the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act by proving patients the opportunity to work with compassionate physicians for the treatment of their qualifying medical condition; by offering educational opportunities to patients, growers, caregivers, and to the general public; and by providing services at a reduced rate or free for patients in extreme need.

It is a lecture given to law students, by the sounds of it – but I think EVERYONE should watch it. Particularly the law enforcement officer - rarely are they this candid.

Activities: * Ask your Governor to sign the DEA Rescheduling
Petition. Find your Governor's contact information. Find your Governor's contact
information by clicking here. > http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Governors.shtml
Federal Action & Activities: The U.S. Senate is rushing to pass four bills that would expand the DEA’s
power by giving them the authority to outlaw even more substances across the
country and subject more Americans to long mandatory minimum sentences. This
legislation would waste your tax dollars by escalating the war on drugs and
increasing the DEA’s power. Expanding the power of the DEA is a huge and costly mistake and we are not going to let them get away with it! These draconian bills would make it easier for the DEA to ban and criminalize more drugs. The legislation would make it easier for the DEA to bypass the formal drug scheduling process and prohibit substances at their own discretion. If enacted, possession of any quantity could subject someone to a mandatory minimum sentence and incarceration. This misguided legislation would make it easier for the DEA -- a law enforcement agency -- to decide what drugs should be legal or illegal at their whim. The DEA has a history of consistently ignoring sound scientific research and issuing outright lies about marijuana and other drugs. They routinely reject science and common sense in favor of fear and hysteria, and are an obstacle to evidence-based drug policies. Given their anti-science, anti-public health record, why give federal police agents more authority over more substances? This attempt to expand the power of the DEA and put even more people who use drugs behind bars is unacceptable. That’s why we need your help to demand that Congress stop escalating the drug war and stop these bills that would expand the DEA’s authority!

We wish to Note the availability of "Medical Marijuana Law," a
book co-authored by Richard Glen Boire, of the Center for Cognitive Liberty
& Ethics ( www.cognitiveliberty.org
), and Kevin Feeney Medical Marijuana Law offers a
complete overview of federal law and each of the 11 state medical marijuana
programs. MMJ Law discusses the medical necessity defense in depth, how to
qualify for each state program, the legal rights of patients and the role and
legal rights of caregivers, how to deal with cops and how to remain legal under
your state's law. MMJ Law also explores the rights and responsibilities
of physicians who recommend marijuana, and explains how physicians can avoid
legal troubles. In addition to the above, MMJ Law
contains a resource guide for each state, listing the prominent clinics and
patient advocacy organizations in each state, contains the Marijuana Policy
Project's Model Medical Marijuana Bill, a forward by Frank Lucido, MD, one of
the prominent marijuana docs in California, and an article by Dale Gieringer
(NORML) providing advice to medical marijuana providers. The book is 190 pages and retails
at 14.95, but is available on Amazon at a reduced price. Clinics who wish to
stock this book should visit the website of Ronin Publishing at ( http://www.roninpub.com/ord_whole.html
). We feel that this guide will be a
valuable resource for patients, caregivers and their doctors. Any and all
feedback on this book from readers is appreciated. Questions
are also welcome. For more information

Event ideas - contact MERCY - or visit the website for more info - www.MercyCenters.org GlassWare Party (was Jan. 28th,
2006). Attention patients who use
"glass" pipes for medical cannabis delivery devices. GlassWare
Parties are an opportunity for medical cannabis patients to examine and inquire
about this particular means of medicating in privacy and comfort. For example, a GlassWare Party was
held at the MERCY Center Sat., Jan. 28th, 2006 from High Noon to 4:20pm
featuring the very functional glass art of Smokin' Glass of Portland. Patients were able to preview beautiful,
practical "glass" products and accessories in a nice, SAFE, friendly
environment where people can discuss the FAQS openly and straightforward. Y'see, when in the store, conversations
must be carefully controlled, even in the age of OMMA. NOTE: "Smoke Shop"
Protocol for Medical Cannabis Patients Smokin' Glass sells only the
finest quality functional glass art and other products. Sure, WE all know what else they can be used
for, but we can't talk openly about it in the store. OMMA didn't fix anything in this
area, it's the same old drag. Anyone
heard using words like: Bong, Hash-pipe or any word that implies illegal intent
in the store - could be a local yokel on a boon-doggle or even a DEA agent on a
fishing expedition - and the owner could be fined or even shut down. No joke. SORRY! But federal law applies, so watch yer terminology! Yep, it's a silly game we ALL must play til
we change the law. Smokin' Glass has supported
individuals and groups in the medical cannabis movement since the concept
began. They help as much as they can
publicly, mostly by patiently educating consumers on the law when purchasing
their functional glass art for use as delivery devices while giving them the
best price they can. Now, would like to help more by
offering a discount to the patient community.
Mention you read it here and receive 30% off! Yes, all OMMP Cardholders get a whopping 30 percent savings on
your purchase. So, stop on by their new
location in Portland at - 1408 SE 39th, a half block north
of Hawthorne up 39th, next to Jiffy Lube - and ask about their water-pipes
(NOT "bongs"!) and other functional glass pieces that OMMA
cardholders may be interested in.

Monday, January 30, 2006 at 07:38 AM: The response to the 12/4 event was so good that we have decided to follow up with a program that will continue to inform the public about MAPS and the work that they are doing. 'Just Say Know' is a one hour presentation that will give the opportunity to see the work done by MAPS. I will be speaking, showing the video that was shown at the luncheon, and reading testimonials by people affected by MAPS' work. No one will be asked to contribute financially, though I will welcome feedback and advice from attendees. I would love it if you could attend. If you know anybody who would be interested in hearing about MAPS, this program would be a great way to introduce them to the organization. 'Just Say Know' will be at the following place and time:
2/4/06, 7:00- 8:00pm, 1235 Thanks for your time and consideration. Sincerely,

To learn more about "The World Can't Wait" and their goals, please go to http://worldcantwait.org/. Melissa Martini, coordinator for the Portland Chapter, invites all Oregonians to join with millions across the country who are no longer willing to support our current administration's failed policies.

Volunteers and speakers are now needed to assist with this event. Please contact Melissa to find out how you can help make this initial event a powerful statement of hope for a better future.
