PROP 215: 10 YEARS AFTER

California�s historic medical-marijuana bill, Proposition 215, was approved by voters back in 1996. Supposedly, it guaranteed safe access to legal cannabis for medical users. But the Golden State isn�t a marijuana utopia yet.

By Dan Skye

There are upwards of 150,000 medical-marijuana users in California. Most of them acquire their medicine from the dispensaries that can be found throughout the state. At last count, well over 150 dispensaries were already operating, and every month a few more open their doors. The dispensaries offer a variety of strains that patients can purchase over the counter. Edible cannabis medicine is also available in the form of candy bars, cookies and drinks. Many of the dispensaries also provide clones for those who prefer to grow their own medicine.

The more advanced outlets—like the Farmacy, located in West Hollywood—even provide healing alternatives beyond the scope of cannabis, including aromatherapy and massage. If you’re a member of the Farmacy, you can also purchase herbal (non-cannabis) remedies to be used separately or in conjunction with marijuana. And while you decide which of these treatments is best for your ailment, an eclectic mix of music—often performed live—soothes you. Music therapy is important here, too. The director of the Farmacy, known simply as Michael, explains the dispensary’s philosophy:

“If you were a patient requiring medicine, what would you want when you walk through the door? What would make your experience optimal?”
This is a wonderful place to buy medicine. It’s a spacious building with high ceilings. The staff is thorough and friendly and personifies the term “compassionate.” After all, that’s the actual name of Proposition 215: the Compassionate Use Act of 1996.

West Hollywood is a progressive community. The dispensaries here have worked diligently with the City Council in order to ensure that business is done scrupulously. At the Farmacy, receptionists verify your membership and give you a stamp along with a numbered ticket. When your number is called, a security guard checks your ticket and stamp. A member of the staff then escorts you into the area where medicine is sold and hands you the menu of the day. Patients must abide by the house rules: leave your bag at the door, no cell phones, no cameras, no tape recorders. The entire process is designed to make the experience of buying medical marijuana safe and stress-free.
But there is a flip side to legal marijuana in California. Security guards are often armed. Dispensaries are a cash business, and the merchandise rivals the price of gold. And if you’re operating a dispensary where the local government is less than supportive, anxiety is a constant companion for owners and patients alike.

Get on Board.
Remember people, you are doing nothing WRONG. Just illegal. 666ers swear their allegiance to illegal and legal. We live by right and wrong. Why does a person go to jail when there is no victim in the so called crime. I did a 5 year mandatory and right there in black and white they wrote that there was no victim in my crime. Yes there was. Me.

I agree with Ganja-mon. I don't want to fight a war with anyone. I didn't declare war and don't want to fight it. Why not call a truce? I mean they aren't going to win. The drug war has been on for a long time, and both sides are losing.

Oct 16 2006, 8:34 pm

For many of you whom believe that the use of medicinal marijuana is just an excuse to get a cheap HIGH!! You should take a trip down to your local hospital look at some of the Cancer, MS, HIV/AIDS, Glaucoma,Chronic Pain, patients and Survivors. Whom have used it in they're recovery and ask them if it was all just an excuse to get high! For all you narrow minded people whom do smoke it recreationally, save what ever brain cells you have left. And ask yourselves, "WHY is Marijuana illegal?".

police

Oct 15 2006, 11:28 pm

This is the police, we have the place surrounded, come out with your hands up and you won't get hurt. I wasnt looking at his neck man. It's turning blue, must be high grade stuff. Peruvian flake.
Do you know that guy with a basketball and a top hat?

same dude

Oct 15 2006, 9:18 pm

but you have to say its for medical use, for the stupid single minded mother fuckers so you semi-speak their language, id hav alot more to say about this, once people stop their everlasting denial phase and realize POT IS SAFE AND FUN AND LEGALIZING IT IS FOR THE BETTER

lets get high

Oct 15 2006, 9:12 pm

the whole medical standpoint behind bud is a pretty good argument, however everyone is in denial that the real reason they want pot is to smoke it for fun like getting real high then fuckin two hot bitches in the ass at the same time or listening to floyd while munching out, you see if we say we want it for fun, everyone whos anti-bud will start throwing their stupid little arguments about unsafety and propigated bullshit, so the real reason it should be legal is to get easy axcess, lower costs, and to not get arrested

yea

Oct 15 2006, 8:31 pm

meth 2 man that drug is whack

yea

Oct 15 2006, 7:37 pm

it is kind of hypocritical that the bible forbids drinking but radical christians support alcohol and not marijuana. alcohol is the most destructive substance in the nation across all social classes.

what is that

Oct 14 2006, 9:11 pm

So you want to declare war on the government for tell you what is best for you? If you dont like the government tell you what to do then turn yourself into police now before you smoke weed and kill someone , your little plant is a weapon of mass destruction to the PURE CHRISTIAN way of life. God talks to BUSH not you!!! He talks to Bush in a flaming BUSH that does not burn, ergo the name BUSH , also BUSH is decended from Jesus Christ. That is why Jesus has to be crusified by the government or Rome. Don't you get it people? God wants you to suffer. So you can get yours in the afterlife.

Ganja-mon

Oct 14 2006, 10:10 am

ya mon, the real problem is with the united nation, when ever country in the world sign the drug treaty act of 1972. the USA has to comply to that, signing of the drug treaty act. that gives them the power to still bust ever thing. or face embargo on them. so we the people or government have to change that before we can move forward with medical, decriminalize, lealize, and possession of ganja. we need a DRUG WAR TRUCE. go to >equalrights4all.org< and sign the call for a Drug War Truce petition; No civilized nation makes war on its own citizens. We the People, did not declare war on our government, nor do we wish to fight its Drug War. PEACE one love....

Just to addon

Oct 11 2006, 8:20 pm

Look im sorry people I have to make extrememly large posts buh people are making exremely dumb comments that are lies and facts must be shown to prove them wrong. If your anti weed like word and you cant grow the balls and brains to read every comment that proves his lies and common lies that everyone beleives then FUCK YOU AND GET A FUCKEN LIFE AND LEAVE THE STONERS ALONE. If you are ignorant enough to see facts that are so beleivable if you had common sense and still not beleive them you are as dumb as Bush and are whole corrupted government. We have yet to hurt one person, yet you dumb fucks wanna keep us down with lies. Look check this if weed were made legal it would lower all other drug use. I know this because. I cant begin to tell you how many people I know do cocaine because they dont like alcahol buh they cant do weed because of drug tests so they do cocaine because it has a short detection time. So half our nations coke addicts started with weed buh went to coke for shorter detection times in drug tests and because alcahol is a horrible drug and they need something to calm them.

Yes your still retarded

Oct 11 2006, 8:09 pm

Weed doesnt cause death becuase people get high. LETS END THAT BULL SHIT RIGHT NOW. Read norml.org weed report that says "your government is lieing to you again" thats my #1 fact sheet against our governments lies. Weed is a proven anti depressent like said earlier meaning it makes people happy not raging mad. If a person kills someone wile high, why should weed be the blame? Have you ever even smoked weed? Obviously not because if you had, you would know if someone kills a person wile high on weed then they dont deserve any type of substance let alone walk the streets. A bunch of kids like Tommy already smoke and they have yet to kill their familys. Reefer Madness isnt a real movie and you need to stop beleiving something made 60 years ago to get people weed crazy. GET UP TO FUCKEN DATE. Modern science proves that movie wrong. Kids shouldnt be allowed to smoke weed anyways because they are immature buh guess what? Even though its illegal they still can get it and they still smoke so lets stop worrying about the kids so much as the lives getting ruined because its illegal. Lets not forget also again nut cases already can get alcahol and alcahol is waaaaaaaaaaay more impairing unlike weed so I dont see the problem with weed being legal still. I dont think I am living in a dream land HAHA weed is still illegal and I can still get arrested because of our retarded government. Amsterdam is a dream land. Read all that info people said plus I about weed you idiot we make real legit points backed by scientific facts not you. Bush and the leaders do set the moral code. And idiots like you accept it. Let me let you in on something me and every other americans vote makes the government and this country. Therefor the country sets the moral code and until over 50% of the country opens there eyes and gets off there asses this is the way its going to be.

antiweed?

Oct 11 2006, 5:20 pm

I am not anti weed, but I notice that some people here are very angry when their views are attacked and lash out. Good way to defend your position. Save it for the Judge buddy, not me. My point is to cover why marijuana is illegal and I like to read what peoples views are on the issue then to point out that our views are not important compaire to our leaders even BUSH. They set the moral code in the USA not you. How do we ask our leaders to support marijuana , when lil Billy got caught with an 1/8th in the 9th grade. Or when Tommy kills a family because he was speeding while high on marijuana. Because if there is one thing that is left out , they will use that to show that your little plant is unsafe. And there for must be banned and people jailed, Dont you see it people? Marijuana growers cant pay the feds off like Marlboro when the settled that law suit for billions!!! Marc Emery is the prince of pot and they got him. SO what is your defence when the shit hits the fan and you think the judge cares what you think? get real people, you are living in dream land. I would love to see a federal judge laugh at you when you try to explain all your points and then give you 10 years of hard time. While in prison, think of the judge who is living in his gated community.

didnt think so....

Oct 11 2006, 2:42 pm

to all of you who enjoy high times, i can't believe noone has dug up the january 06' copy. they printed an article called "temperance reuniion" where they addressed the "gateway theory, societal theory, enough-problems-theory, and debunks" for all of them. i won't go into detail, but they it goes: marijuana will lead to harder drugs. sometimes, yes, but correlation does not prove causation, and statistics show that alcohol is the real gateway drug. anyways, although prop 215 is not legal federally, it works for now i guess as a state law.

Oct 11 2006, 2:22 am

Why would you defend drinking and driving anyways Word? I think anyone should be able to drink or take any substance now putting that person behind a motor vehicle is another thing. Your the hipocrit lets face it you post 5 times in a row acting like a girl one minute a man another just to make a point. Each post you have made is fucken retarded and stupid and holds not one single fact. Everything said in these comments by myself and the other couple guys holds facts and scientific proof. You cant copy and paste URL's in the comment box so look up the facts yourself thats been braught to you. You are dancing around the truth everyone reading would say the same. The facts are all out there word waiting for you to learn. Yet you look at one pinheaded point of view. I was an anti-drug person at one time also BEFORE I KNEW MORE FACTS ABOUT SOME OF THEM and realized how its bull shit for someone to try and protect me from myself. Word you need to GET REAL. You are trying to undermine facts you scum again someone else is telling you. THE FACTS BACKING MARIJUANA UP ARE THERE LOOK THEM UP. www.norml.org its your start to learning.

Oct 11 2006, 2:09 am

"Common though just because it helps stomach cramps doesnt mean it should be used to help an upset stomach everytime you have one." Lets not forget its true cure and benefit. The point being made here is just because people name minor facts about what weed can do lets not forget what weed is truely helping. All other benefits from weed should be considered an additional plus though. You can take 10 different medicines to cure 10 different things that pose 10 health risks buh you can take just marijuana to cure all 10 of them. That is the case with some diseases. Most the diseases it helps out there you probably havent even expierenced Word. Have you had cancer? Have you sufferd a wasting disease such as aids? Or any disease like that? So lets face it word you dont know what your talking about a damn bit.

Some Guy

Oct 11 2006, 2:02 am

If weed were sold like beer (wich it wouldnt)... If weed was legal im almost certain there would be a limit as to how much you can buy at a time. I think child molesters and jobless poor people should be able to obtain the substance if made legal. Why shouldnt they? If we already declared the substance safe to use and made it legal why should the poor and criminals not be able to have marijuana. Hasnt the poor paid for enough anyways? I mean cigs are $7 pack in some states. They do it in the sake of saving teens from tabbacco when really they make poor people suffer because now they cant afford something they have a right to. Whos right is it really to say what a person can put in there own body? Poor or not poor. Like said before alcahol is so much worst and its sold to them already with no problem. If your fearing weed getting into child molesters hands you should already be shitting your pants because they can get booze as it is. So if a child molester wants to catch a buzz to calm down he cant now? Most child molesters dont come out of prision still molesting children, even though weed wouldnt make them molest children if thats what your trying to say. It would be there own sick head. I would fear the child molester drinking a whole bottle of taquila over the molester smoking some weed though. I think the guy anti weed=retarded is right on target. WORD he told you already once theres medications better than weed but they already carry high health risks. Health risks that pose a greater threat than marijuana smoking. Lets face it there are some drugs that do what marijuana already does with no threats at all.

FUCK BUSH

Oct 10 2006, 8:29 pm

Mr. GW. Bush woooow Hes an ex coke addict. You wont respect medical marijuana users getting there medicine when its a proven medication buh you want to follow a coke addict into war. Where is the common sense in you republicans today? I dont think most the government has studied law. Most of you reefer madness moron havent either. The politics that did study are manipulating it why do you think your freedoms go away day by day? Oh yea in the sake of security. You republicans cant even wire tap someone right lets not forget about the liquid bombs in the UK the US followed them for 5 months wiretapping and did nothing. You guys want to make it law though bush gets to wiretap whoever he pleases. Ever since hurricane Katrina and how successful you guys havent been with the war I have little faith in the republican party. You guys cant handle homeland issues buh you want to continue to fight other countrys and say what drugs I can put in my own body. If theres one thing you guys did right it was driving the country into national debt and pissing off alot of people.

Hes Right!!!!

Oct 10 2006, 7:57 pm

RIGHT ON BROTHER!!!!! I have to addon to dis shit. You people that are saying get a medical marijuana card blah blah blah its da shit, do it you get da best reefer. You people are dumb I mean I love it that your smoking legily but think about the people that could really use the meds. You guys are like rich people who act like bums just to get money. Eventually everyone found out some bums are rich fuckers getting extra cash and stopped giving money to the REAL poor. You guys are giving the government secound thaughts where its costing the people with wasting diseases their medicine.

Anti Weed People=Retarded

Oct 10 2006, 7:46 pm

Ok lets face it you anti weed people. Weed doesnt ruin lives or half the shit you people want to beleive. Your own US government did a test on cows and fed them massive amounts of weed and found that you cannot overdose on THC. Weed Doesnt Break Up Familys THE LAW DOES WHEN THEY ARREST THE USERS. The weed doesnt make the user lose a job the drug testing and it being illegal and looked down on upon because of lies. Lets face it your prohibition against weed is so much more worst, as it is Tax costly, Has cause alot of suffering, Inhumane, Keeps crime rates high and is retarded because its a natural substance that grows out the earth thats being denied as a medicine and being condemmed as an evil substance through lies. You guys need to get your mind right.

Anti Weed People=Retarded

Oct 10 2006, 7:36 pm

Ok lets get to some real shit here. What about teens who use drugs? Its never going to stop even if weed stayed illegal. Countries like the Netherlands that have already legalized it have less users per population cap so legalization may decrease are nations drug use. "The drug dealers profit from marijuana though" you anti-weed people got that one right. Do you know how they profit from it though? FROM IT BEING ILLEGAL. Just like alcahol being illegal back in the 1920's and shit thats why the crime rates were so high. People were able to profit off of it. Now that its legal how many people do you know go out and bootleg alcahol and sell it? Think about it, we got weed and other drugs illegal for dealers to profit off of thats why the crime rate is so high. How do you think dealers protect there money and profits? They commit violent crimes and create crime organizations (gangs). Ghost your either lieing about both your friends dieing that way. Or your friends were really retarded and weak to weed and should not be counted as a fatality from weed because it was there own dam fault. Note: There are 6th graders out there that smoke I dont agree with it but they arent killing themselves so you got friends that need to grow up just like you. If it is true and weed was a factor and it happend, it was more than likely assisted by other drugs such as alcahol or other harder drugs dont blame weed only. See people, when weed is found at a crime scene next to alcahol or prescriptin drugs even the smallest trace of weed in the blood of the person cops are willing to jump on and add to the numbers. "STUDENT KILLS FRIENDS WHILE RACING HIGH ON MARIJUANA" Thats no reason to keep it illegal and could have happend without the weed. Just like alcahol weed could be one of those substances you cant have a certain amount of and drive.

Anti Weed people=Retarded

Oct 10 2006, 7:08 pm

First off, Ghost that was flat out racist and was a lie. I cant beleive you actually referenced something from REEFER MADNESS. Anybody who has seen the intro to that movie and beleives the rest of the movie should turn the TV off and catch some sunrays. Reefer Madness came out in the 1930's or 1940's. Common your info is a little outdated. And the modern science today already proves that movie false so shut up the movie is just a lie to get chumps like you anti weed crazy. They thaught weed was worst then heroin and cocaine back then so you need to wisen up a little and not beleive everything you see on tv. Especially stuff that was still produced on a black and white film. Im pretty sure the anti weed people in this room are all the same people so dont trip everybody. Its the same person with the same tunnel vision. The guy who had his friend killed on oxy and alcahol its sad to see something like that happen. Especailly on two man made substances. He may have done cannibis if there were no drug testing Or if there werent so many lies cast on weed.

Oct 10 2006, 1:41 pm

SO you all think marijuana is safe to use. But what about teens who use this drug. I mean you have to defend why you use marijuana. I seen reefer madness and the federal government said it will turn you into a crazy person. Also blacks rape white women because the drug causes the black to become so turned on that no even bullets will stop him. That is why Police use a 357 bullet as stander issue. A 357 has the stopping power to bring down a black who is on marijuana. Or what about my friend who got so high he jumped out a window, or another friend who killed himself listening to OZZY and smoking marijuana. Okay people try and defend your marijuana now!!!

Oct 10 2006, 2:23 am

Yes when you can not defend your drug use resort to name calling. Like I say where is your proof. You show me how marijuana help where modern drugs fail. Also you are not a congressman or leader so who are you to be objective? You dont drink so you dont defend drinking and driving. You are all hypocrates! People use marijuan for no medical reasons, and admit you like the buzz. You are the liar dancing around the truth!

Oct 9 2006, 11:52 pm

Maybe you don't smoke, I mean that is the only excuse for comparing marijauna to any other drug, especially alchohol! Ignorance is an understatement!

I think word makes a good point and I would like to know how many of you understand that marijuana is a gate way drug, and that your leaders said "NO" to it. It is federal law that is is not to be used or grown also it have no medical use, and "NO" place in the great USA. You think your leaders and congress spent years in college and in law to think you know best. You do not understand why it is illegal.
I wish you could understand that you lower yourself and make America weak as a country by your drug use. Why not spend the time and study some math or science? You can't be rational and use drugs that is a giving.

word

Oct 9 2006, 5:40 pm

You2 R idiots, I can respect your point of view. But the medical problems you describe can be treated with other medications witout the health risk of smoking. Also if Marijuana was sold like beer, Do you think all people should be allowed to smoke it? Like child molestors and jobless people? What if a person smokes some marijuana and commits a crime because of the drug? You can see the problems with making it legal when you look at the facts. You also admit that other drugs are more effective.. You need address those who use poor judgement and do not contribute because of their marijuana habbits...

Cannabis provides relief for many ailments. I have met patients who benefit from cannabis and it's effects. Cannabis is the worlds safest medicine! I am a patient who uses medical cannabis cause the pills the doctor gave me were very addictive. There has never been a death caused my cannabis. Pills (even asprin) and alcohol cause death. To say cannabis has no medicanal value is ludicrous.

Also I know the last three posts above mine was the same person. Funny they all posted 5 minutes from eachother about the same dumb shit, ALL TELLING LIES. You were the same person stop trying to lie to people you natzi, YOUR A LIER and anyone who comes here and reads his comments should not take this idiot know-nothing serious. He probably works with the guys who help lie for the "Czars campaign of propaganda".

You 2 Are Dumb

Oct 9 2006, 3:04 am

Go to www.norml.org you two and look it up they got enough info to back marjuana up as a medicine. LEARN SOMETHING BEFORE YOU SPEAK. I smoke so fucken what? I AM NOT A DRUG ADDICT! Even though you two would love to think so. I do not use cocaine I dont even touch alcahol, cigs even some legal prescript drugs because it fucks your body up so much. All those substances are made by man notice. Call me a drug addict now.. Dont even dare say medical marijuana will cost tax payers money. Actually, it will if its kept illegal and they spend more money on stupid busts that are going to do nothing. If made legal like the legal drug companys already are doing, marijuana being a medicine would also make profit just like them. By the way, the government already wastes enough of your taxes with the innocent stupid weed busts that do nothing you dumb fucks so work on getting it legalized so they stop wasting your money in that area by keeping it illegal. These medical marijuana busts cost money!!! More money than producing the weed itself. Also just to let you two idiots know it does help muscle spasms and back pain I know this for a fact AND IM NOT LIEING TO ANYONE. Its not as strong as vicaden but its sure as hell safer and healthier. Not to mention if you have a fucked up stomach it cures the nausea before eating. You call weed a weak anesthetic its probably because you were smoking bunk/dirt weed.

I agree with Zero that if you party with marijuana and you like to catch a buzz , like with beer, then nothing wrong with that. But to say marijuana heals is bullshit, I feel pain worse on marijuana. So making it a medical issue is utter garbage. Why lie people, nothing wrong with marijuana to feel good. But medical.... come on....where is the proof?

Fuck you crippled, get a job you so smart. Anyways, Like I said ask your doctor people. As for numb nuts. You are a drug addict. You use your illness to continue your durg abuse. You are a criminal and you expect tax payers to support you and doctors to treat you. You are the dumb ass my friend. Hurry up and die, but there is really nothing wrong with you that would endanger your life, like a skin condition or something. You want us to feel pitty for you? Fuck off.
Go waste your life away because there is no medical evidence supporting your claim that it heals you. i BET YOU TAKE A LOT OF vicodins TOO! How do you think I know that ? Because you are a drug addict!!!!!!!!

CA STORES

Oct 9 2006, 12:11 am

The Cannabis store; stock crappy weed, their prices are sky high, and are filled with Homosexuals. Sounds like a good time? Go for it. I asked my doctor for a prescription and was laughed at. Do not believe me ask your doctor. This is all a scam! These people grow it and get rich like the mexican drug lords.

Sure, marijuana for medical use is legal in Cali. Tell that to the feds. It seems they're more concerned about nailing dispensaries and sick people than they are about "Homeland security". DEA is on an eradication campaign right now on the dispensaries here and every week brings news of more clinics raided and clinc staff jailed. They can't find weapons of mass destruction, stop millions of people flooding into the coyntry without papers or clean up our water and air but they're as ruthless as commies when they're stepping on people who are legally obtaining/distributing medical marijuana.

Another bullshit artical. Yes you can get a recomendation for pot from a doctor, but no doctor except crooked doctors do it and the cost of it is 300 dollars. I know I have had doctors laugh when I asked and I have a serious medical condition. I also know people who have no medical condition and get the perscription then score at the pot clubs and sell it. So this artical is such bullshit, come on tell it how it is! Marijuana is a schedual 1 drug and has no medical use, period! This is bullshit like weapons on mass destruction in Iraq, another attempt to sell you on BS! Black Market is the most easy way , face it!

I agree with the "Free Willie" campaign....why do we take law enforcement dollars to put and old man in jail who pays a "LOT" of taxes, and rasies money every year to make sure we can eat food rasied by families and not corporations....transfer those dollors and stop just one person getting killed in a sinceless drive-by shooting....it will be money well spent

The strongest cannabis is OG KUSH 100% indica in So. Cal and probably the world in my opinion. Has anyone here tried it? Best medicine for most ailments.
