WRONG! It will FIX NORML! Um, out of curiosity, what was NORML’s response? Gotten anywhere in this lawsuit? Or has some judge with two brain cells to rub together tossed you out of court for not having the standing to bring a case against NORML in the first place?

I have not brought *our* suit yet, but the "medical-patients" of this country DO have "standing." Any ruling on "standing" will be taken all to the way to the U.S. Supreme court, though. Certioraris have become my specialty, as of late. -DrG,Esq. medpot(c)foundation – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – –Bo-

Response:

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Dr. Grubor will FIX NORML like this: No NORML Board Member or Officer shall be publicly involved in any group, or make any public statement, which would in any way be expressing an opinion on the use of any other drug or a position on any other issue unrelated to Medical Pot. (snipped) The specific intended purpose of this rule is to keep the focus of attention of NORML on the Issue of obtaining legal Cannabis for medical and/or necessary purposes.

That’s Grubor’s opinion. He has a right to his opinion. NORML shall no longer, on the public record: A) Stipulate and/or agree to the idea that Cannabis is a drug having a "high potential for abuse" as was previously done in Court Litigation by NORML.

I completely agree with this. Cannabis does not have a high potential for abuse. NORML should never have gone on the record stipulating that marijuana has a high potential for abuse. B) Stipulate and/or agree to the idea that Cannabis is a "hallucinogenic" drug, as was previously done in Court Litigation by NORML.

Again, I completely agree with this, although I’m not aware that NORML ever made such a stipulation. I think Grubor is a little confused on this. C) Contend that adults should have a right to use Cannabis to "adjust their states of consciousness" for any non-medical purpose.

Again, I completely agree with this. All cannabis use is a form of self medication. Referring to it as something to be used for the purpose of getting drunk is harmful to any effort to produce relief for cannabis users and POWs. D) Contend that adults should have the right to use Cannabis for "recreational" or "religious" purposes.

Again, this is absolutely essential. The term "recreational" means "drunkeness" to the general public. It’s a bad term to use. As for religious use, the courts have consistently made it clear that if you’re not a member of a mainstream religion, you might as well forget about your religious freedom. It may come someday, but not until people realize what a beneficial plant marijuana really is. E) Contend that any section or branch of the Federal or any State government is an "oppressor of freedom" or that it conducts a "war against people."

Again, government is not the enemy. A government is nothing more or less than the people who run it. To get good government, you have to get involved in politics. Looking and acting like a radical isn’t the quickest way to get what you want. Sounds like NORML is a complete pussy organization now that makes me glad that I never sent them one cent. The way to win this battle is not by attempting to mainstream. In fact, the only Presidential candidate who even conceded that medicalization of THC was plausible was Pat Buchanan and he can hardly be considered mainstream.

Buchanan had nothing to lose by being candid. Legalization is just. Fight Oppression. Cut the Bullshit. Freedom now!

Yeah sure. Go out and get your freedom. Let me know when you find it. I won’t be holding my breath. Sincerely, Carl Olsen * Carl E.

Jim, I haven’t had a chance to read your book, but I want to. However, I don’t know if we really need a machine to tell when we are lying. Most of the time we know when we are lying. But when lying has become such a way of life, people start believing in the lie. What we need is for people to tell the truth of their hearts.

Instead, the newsgroups seem to be overrun with postings from people who, hiding behind relative anonymity and inaccessibility, dump meaningless messages such as this, and for what?

In case the subject intrigues you, I have written a novel entitled (you guessed it) The Truth Machine. For a short time, you can read it on the Web….absolutely FREE! If you’re interested, go to: <http://www.truthmachine.com/ The only catch is an electronic questionaire every 10 chapters or so. Now please excuse the following shameless self-promotion: By October The Truth Machine will be in book stores and my publisher, Ivy Press, will probably take down the Web site well before that. Soon there will be so much hype, you’ll HAVE to buy a copy to read just to see what all the fuss is about. Unless you wisely save the $19.95 purchase price by reading it now. (Did I mention that you can read the ENTIRE book absolutely FREE?) The book is very entertaining, fairly light reading–not a weighty tome at all. But it will engage your mind and make you think about important human issues. The site has been open since Friday, and advertised only on Usenet, attracting some 500 surfers as of today. So far, over 90% of respondents who’ve read it have said they would recommend the book to friends and family (the real reason we’re doing this in case you hadn’t figured it out yet). Howard Gardner, Harvard Grad. School of Education professor & bestselling author, and Dr. Robert Sternberg, renowned Yale Dept. of Psychology professor and perhaps the most widely quoted psychologist in America, have both written glowing reviews of the book. But please let me know what YOU think of the novel and of the concept itself; I welcome all feedback, whether direct to me or as newsgroup postings, from gushing praise to brutal thrashings. Thank you for your time.
