Verdict in for New Jersey Man Using Marijuana to Treat MS
Thu, Dec 17, 2009 5:07 pm
In mid-2008 John Ray Wilson of Franklin Township, New Jersey was busted by police for growing 17 marijuana plants. Wilson, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis, was hoping to use a medical defense in court as he contends that he was using marijuana to treat symptoms of the disease.
Judge Robert Reed ruled early on that Wilson could not base his defense on medical necessity, could not even mention the illness in connection with the marijuana he was charged with manufacturing.
However, yesterday, in a surprising turn of events, Judge Reed did allow Wilson to take the stand and mention his medical condition.
This occurred because Wilson’s attorneys wanted to rebut testimony from police at the scene of the raid. According to New Jersey NORML’s Chris Goldstein, who’s been attending the trial, “because of the Judge’s earlier limitation rulings … Wilson could not offer anything regarding medical marijuana … or that cannabis can help treat MS. But earlier in the day Det. Sgt. William Peacock … testified that during their search of John’s property he could not recall asking what John intended to do with the cannabis plants. Another State Trooper on the scene testified that he did not recall any conversations either.” This opened the door for Wilson to give the jury his version:
“I told them (the arresting officers) I was not a drug dealer and I was using the marijuana for my MS (Multiple Sclerosis).”
Today the jury reached a verdict. Wilson was found guilty of second-degree manufacturing as well as third-degree possession of psychedelic mushrooms. However, the verdict can still be seen as a victory for Wilson as he was found not guilty of the most serious charge, “maintaining a manufacturing facility for marijuana," which carried a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

why do you block your cb2 with stinky nicotine?
Holding the toke in longer
makes the heart grow fonder
you blow your toke
which is no joke
how will you ever feel good I wonder
you say you are a stoner
you say you love weed too
why do you blow your toke then light a cig to block your cb2?
you think you can't take it?
you think you can't let go?
you take a drink
why do you think
you have to puke in the kitchen sink
No more strangers in my place.
Cleaning they're puke up is a terrible disgrace

I was timing my tokes, making sure to hold each toke in for 60 seconds, not knowing that instead of having an all healing effect, I was experiencing the opposite. I would experience unknown fear. I would get headaches which I never had before. I never had headache problems in my life. I felt like I was going crazy. I felt like I was dying. My lungs felt like there was acid burning in them. My heart was racing, and I had no clue. I was being poisoned, and every month, from july of last year to December, I was experiencing the negative effects of the toxic weed that was getting stronger and stronger. Poisoned. I made the ignorant one destroy this sick plant. He didn't act as though he understood the danger. This alone is alarming to me.
My chest pains went away though, and my lungs aren't burning as much, but I just had to pass this knowledge along so that others will be very careful where they get they're stuff. You don't want to loose your faith in the world like I felt like I was doing. Instead of seeing love vibes, I was seeing unloving vibes all around me. I believe this is what makes all disease. Lack of love. I felt like I was experiencing hell on earth. Weed is meant to take away all our problems. The weed I had was giving me more mental and physical problems than I could bare.
Lesson learned.
BE CAREFUL!!!
Much love to the REAL and true imbibers who keep it PURE. Keep it an all healing thing people! Life is too precious to throw it away. What is the matter is that people are too afraid to speak the truth. This I know to be a fact.
High times needs a cleaning up as well. Allowing people to say things that promote violence is just as stupid.
Ok. Had to vent. All better.

People need marijuana for medicinal purposes, to combat the use of all the harmful drugs their doctor's have put them on. They also need it for recreational purposes, as alcohol only makes you stupid and violent, which is a proven fact. Do you think that these FDA drugs have been researched to such an extent that they're not as equally or more harmful to you? When the FDA releases a drug, they do so with the intention to help as many people whose bodies can tolerate the drug...to hell with the rest that it kills because of this industry's need to brainwash you that these drugs are something that you need. They need your "buy in" that their drugs do you good. Pot has been around for so long, and they still say that not enough research has been done to determine the harmful effects.
D-U-H...PEOPLE have been around for a long time too and are still using marijuana to combat the proven side effects of the drugs the FDA pronounces legal, This is nothing more than an intention to reap a profit and kill you, with your consent. What a concept...getting people to buy into this nonsense! And you believed them; that they were there to help you, and YOU END UP DEAD! If even one drug of theirs kills one person, it should be taken off the market immediately. If we were allowed to grow marijuana legally, where would all their profit go? Regardless, it should be legalized for medicinal and relaxation purposes, because of the PROVEN BENEFITS it provides, and that this substance DOES GOOD FOR EVERYONE, not just those that are sick.
Human life is the most precious commodity we have on this planet. Why is is that we value it so little as to not make good use of a resource that is not man made and not designed to kill us for a profit other people can make. Instead, we can all grow our own pot for ourselves, or grow it for profit. Why not?
It's the American way our forefathers had in mind when the wrote the Declaration of Independence, keeping in mind the premise of "Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness". Our government has spent and is currently spending an extraordinary amount of money on a program that has had no effects or proven benefits.
I say the government should pay a subsidy back to the American people for misuse of the resources that we allowed them to have for the last sixty years in it's War On Drugs. It also says in the Declaration that if a people believes that their government is abusing it's rights, then is is equally the right of the people to put a stop to it. Now more than at any other time in our history, would it be a time for the people to intervene in what they are doing.
STOP supporting your crooked congressmen in the great state of Illinois (which has now proven to be the laughing stock of the nation by our illustrious former Governor)and put people in office that really can make things right. Only people that smoke marijuana for their own reasons need apply...

Cannabis is medicine and we all know now, the dirty government just wants to take the money from drug dealers and split it with their friends, just like a thief who steals from a thief, is simply just a chain of crime all the way to the top, and we are the people who get regulated, bitch slapped and mugged by the politicians, I don't understand how politicians with no medical training at all, are in charge of what medicine you should take, why are they oppressing the doctors and marginalizing them and humiliating them by now letting them participate in the medical reform they claim they want?
if my doctors think cannabis will help then I support their knowledge and wisdom that comes from healing people.
we need to stop the dictators from blatantly ignoring the voice of the people voters.
happy 420 new year!

” marijuana crimes “. Below the photos tell a story of why each one was incarcerated , their sentence & in detail tells how several of these men either have killed themselves or have been killed while in prison .
Their is now no Father .The family has been broken apart .
How can the Mother work when she takes care of her Children ?
Furthermore the Children are now worse off than ever before . For what purpose does incarceration serve for what otherwise is a victimless crime ? Cannabis helps rather than it hurts . Yet some of you will say ,
” well this man committed a crime & as a result of breaking the law he must pay for his crime ” …………
and some of you will say ” what about the man who committed murder then he too needs to be free ” . Murder is a crime and he must be prosecuted for his crime but , possessing a plant called Cannabis is not a crime .
This man did not commit a crime .
Rather the crime was committed against the man .

We all need to find common ground with everyone including the feds, and the prez. we need to refine our patriotic relationship so that we can have our inner security - our inner peace back. I am convinced they are protecting us in their own way, I hope. They can't be all bad folks in charge. after all, if they ever really wanted to shut me up, they could have years ago. There must be guardian angels protecting us all. We should find them, if they will allow us. Those brilliant beings. I have heard rumors of the want of the net to be shut down. Please lets not have anymore of that talk. The unhappy folks need to be shown their "Journey to the light" so to speak. They could never do that maybe without the net. I could go on, but happy belated new years all. Sorry for losing my temper before and Much love. :).

our states that have been so justly chosen by its occupants says" you shall under medical direction be allowed to grow your cannabis. yet the federal government and authority that is SUPPOSED to be watched by the people can come into our homes counties, cities and states, and wave their jurisdiction over a free people.
We must not allow the abuse to continue.
All my fellow pot smokers, herb salve applicants. We must get educated, get sharp and get out.
Tell every one, stand up, put your foot down and lets take back what is ours.
grow your own!
its 2billion in profits for CA...over 50 billion nation wide.
We want to set an example?
grow your own, or buy local! Stop the car searches by staying in your state, don't sweat the borders, keep it local and let it grow from htere.
Why is it here in WA we have to by crappy apples from newZeland, while our good reds leave the state. Same for Oregon, they ship out their grapes to Cali, and then the OR have to pay more for Cali grapes.
What madness.
Sorry for the rant, its just frustrating to watch one small mile stone after another. I know it a long walk, but wouldn't it be easier to fix the car!!?

I am thrilled to have stumbled on a "Joseph Campbell tape on Mythic literature.
It is about an hour long, but I took some notes and I feel we are sometimes too critical of the masses in general, cause after all, they know not what they do and sometimes I don't lol.
Here are some notes I took today... The poem at the end is truly beautiful:
Joseph Campbell's
Mythic literature man and myth
An intellectual is one who has alot of ideas and doesn't
do very well
and the mere square is one who does very well quite
easily,
but doesn't have very many ideas. One idea is enough,
and he lives a life on that. If he has two ideas, he
is in trouble, he is in agony, existentially angst. To
be or not to be and all that sort of thing.
life is good in its majesty
and its tragedy
the tragic emotion says Aristotle are pity and terror
and the comic emotion that Aristotle doesn't talk
about much is what
James Joyce calls joy
Aristotle wrote that pity is the emotion
that arrests the minds static
before whatsoever is grave and constant
in human suffering can not be changed
and unites it with the human sufferer
terror is the emotion
that arrests the mind
before whatsoever is grave and constant
in human suffering and unites it with the secret cause
the outer form must be
a manifestation of the inner
truth of the life and not an outer show
that what we are seeking are our own potential
the word kills
it is the job of the intellectual
to see, to identify, and to name
now what distinguishes one person from another
is each persons deviation from the norm
nobody perfect
so in describing anybody,
what you describe are the faults
but perfection is not lovable
all the Buddhas are alike
and they have left the world not to live it
if you are going to live in the world,
you live with imperfections
and what is lovable about a person is
precisely that cute little twist of the nose
that doesn't belong with the Greek tradition
what is lovable is his faults
what is lovable is his humanity
so the distinction between a literary person and a poet
is the distinction between one who
sends his words without love
and the one who sends his accurate word
with the bomb of love on the point
he called this erotic irony
its the whole secret of Mon's technique
and it is beyond the pairs of opposites
it is beyond loathing
it is beyond disdain
it is beyond all of that
and it is beyond desire
now if you are going to say yay to the world,
you've got to say yay to the world as it is
not as it would be if you had corrected it
if you are going to marry somebody
and marry him to improve him
you aren't getting married,
you are becoming a reformer a sort of medic adjunct
you marry what you get
one of the problems of early life is
that we project this image on someone
that which we think the person ought to be
or which our unconscience tells us the person ought to
be
and then what shows through is a fact,
its a little hard to take
weeping, we say we are dis-allusioned
well what more would you want in life than to be
disillusioned
let life come through
sometimes life is horrific
sometimes terrible things take place
are you still going to say yay to life?
an artist has to say yay
and when he describes the things that go on
these massacres these horrific accidents
and the mess of political life,
he has to say yay
and where he says nay
is where he has lost his humanity
love bears all things
and that means all things
and the measure of the energy of your life which is the
energy of love of the body Satva in you
that which affirms with joyous participation
life as it is
this is the measure of your magnitude as a human being
and understanding
poem from Robertson Jeffers called natural music
you must remember that when the poem speaks of
rivers here and streams in California,
in the winter, the sun is covered and the grass is
green
in the summer, the sun is very bright and the grass is
straw colored
--------------------
the old voice of the ocean
and the bird chatter of little rivers
winter has given them gold for silver to
stain their waters
and bladed green for brown to line their banks
from different throats intoned one language
and so i believe that if we were strong enough
to listen without divisions of desire and terror
to the song of the sick nations
and the rage of the hunger smitten cities
those voices also would be found clean as a child's
or like some girls' breathing dancing alone
on the ocean shore dreaming of lovers
I love it!
Have a Merry Christmas all!

How the F*** are you going to sentence a medical cannabis patient who is only guilty of having plants for his medication to the same amount of prison time like the guy who killed.
WTF is going on? they should let Mr Wilson go home with an apology nothing less.
we are aware they are sending people to insane prison sentences for having a few plants yet they reward people who kill with light sentences, that is insane.
Could it be because they are getting fat and rich from the drug trade?

I agree that the "war on drugs" has become the biggest crock of shit in modern history( or related to them anyway).
My brother died last year-he had been using weed most of his life. Well, the good ol drug testers made his boss paranoid-yep he failed a drug test. so, he makes the mistake of using meth, yes I know his own decision-and died of it last year.
Now before anyone comments on his choice and consequences, I agree and understand. The thing is I know he never slept well etc-and only tried meth since it does not show up on the common cheaper urinalysis. In fact, when I was a boss-my problem was drunks. Frankly, my best people( and this was a very physical job) were admitted stoners.
I have relatives and friends in law enforcement too. It floors me that they dare have to be exposed to danger in situations dealing with weed. Why? Only since it is illegal-period. This really bothers me.
Now I have been experiencing Ms symptoms( have sibling with MS) for about a year now. Oops! no insurance! Can't afford it and here if you make any living at all..you make too much for medicaid. Weed can relieve much pain. Still there are other treatments need in addition. Oops, no insurance or any access to it. I guess I get to stay home and die. I am sure my wife and children will be delighted!
But hey I have the Democrats wanting to pass what is now a gutted meaningless bill..just to pass it. The Republicans having "tea parties" to protest the tax cut that over 95% will receive....no vocal protests against HR45=or any other gun issues..and why? The paranoia of the Obama administration taking guns way( has not happened) has rocketed firearm sales to an all time high...and you can't even get ammo of several types. So, in effect fox news paranoia has made many if not all firearms out of reach for so many. ...and the Democrats can't pass healthcare with a filibuster proof majority. What a shithole we are becoming.
Sadly, my children will have to live in it and pay off the debt for the bullshit collapse-due to the greedy-and the debt for the stimulus and recovery.
Who knows..if i live long enough we may start a moderate revolution...common sense and reasonable compromise. Don't think the liberals care about your right to smoke weed any more than the conservatives care about your right to own firearms.

However the politicians in my state would prefer that I live in daily pain than let me smoke in the privacy of my own home.

I like that new John Mayer song. I forgot what it's called, but one of the lines is "Who says I can't get stoned?"
When I'm at my house, who says I can't smoke some weed or eat a fucking mushroom? Whose right is it to tell me that I can't? I'm not offending anybody, I'm not putting anybody at risk, and to further that second point: I'm not hurting anybody.
I believe in the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I would be pissed if I got in a car wreck with someone who hit me because they were tripping too hard to drive. Fuck that shit. Which is why: I don't drive if I'm too fucked up to drive. Notice: I don't want other people putting me at that risk, so I don't put other people at that risk.
So, despite the fact that I'm a responsible adult, I could be imprisoned for smoking weed at my house? That's fucked up, man (woman)! Who have I hurt? Nobody!
I believe that Government exists to maintain Order. It seems like the people in Government believe that they exist to maintain Control. Do you understand the difference?
If I smoke weed at my house, and don't expose people's little children to "DRUGS", then how have I disrupted Order? The fact is, I haven't disrupted Order. I have merely resisted (non-violently) Government Control.
The fact that I could go to prison for resisting someone else's control is bullshit.
Back to this article, why is anybody butting into this guy's business? What the fuck? He has a debilitating disease! Are you gonna tell me that that guy can't get stoned?! Mind your own damn business, jury! Conviction of second-degree manufacture is better than the harder offense, but shit! Why did they convict him at all? If I was on that jury, I would have voted to acquit of all charges.
