This is to other hemp activists who believe in the work of Los Angeles marijuana attorney Bruce Margolin . That a web search on the issue of medical marijuana clubs being shut down in LA had not one media outlet talking to him on the subject I find horrifying. It's called 'seek but do not find.' If we hempsters unify behind Atty Margolin with his ample legal experience on the matter, we can break through the stupidity called the war on drugs.
The late Sister Somayah Kambui use to call Margolin the best in the businesses. She trusted her life to him many times and he never let her down.
Success is preparation joining with opportunity. We have an opportunity to end hemp prohibition now. 439 clubs in LA have their walking papers. It's time for a class action suit and the clubs have the means and the motivation to do it. "Los Angeles city prosecutors began notifying 439 medical marijuana dispensaries Tuesday that they must shut down by June 7, when the city's ordinance to regulate the stores takes effect. It's the first step in what could be a lengthy and expensive legal battle to regain control over pot sales.
The letters, which were sent to both dispensary operators and property owners, warn that violations of the city's laws are a misdemeanor and could lead to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Collectives that stay open after the deadline could also face civil penalties of $2,500 a day.
"We're hopeful that the fact that we've given them more than 30 days to comply that a significant number of them will cease operating," said Asha Greenberg, the assistant city attorney who has handled most of the efforts to close dispensaries." Clubs, plus every other citizen who stands for sanity, should let Bruce make the case. This must be done quickly to at least get a stay because June 7th will be here fast. The Will of the Government is not more important than the Will of the People, as expressed in Prop 215.
I also recommend Richard M. Davis' book HEMP FOR VICTORY: THE WONDER HERB which is a museum tour on the subject as evidence. Many other books, organizations, etc. can be added to the list. No need wasting too much time on is medical hemp adequately tested and proven useful.
Again, if you think this is a good salvation move, let's encourage the clubs (and others) to hire/support Bruce Margolin, Richard M. Davis and other long standing hemp activists to bring peace where there is chaos. Hemp For Victory!!!

BBC Article - Cannabis compound halts cancer
This text is from an article by the BBC.
Please visit their page and support their advertisers.
Hemp is an effective medicine. That medical marijuana is illegal is a crime.
Though this study was conducted by a California research institute, it was the BBC that released the story.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7098340.stm
Here's the text.
Cannabis compound 'halts cancer'
The CBD compound found in cannabis is non-toxic.
A compound found in cannabis may stop breast cancer spreading throughout the body, US scientists believe.
The California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute team are hopeful that cannabidiol or CBD could be a non-toxic alternative to chemotherapy.
Unlike cannabis, CBD does not have any psychoactive properties so its use would not violate laws, Molecular Cancer Therapeutics reports.
The authors stressed that they were not suggesting patients smoke marijuana.
They added that it would be highly unlikely that effective concentrations of CBD could be reached by smoking cannabis.
This compound offers the hope of a non-toxic therapy that could achieve the same results without any of the painful side effects
Lead researcher Dr Sean McAllister
CBD works by blocking the activity of a gene called Id-1 which is believed to be responsible for the aggressive spread of cancer cells away from the original tumour site - a process called metastasis.
Past work has shown CBD can block aggressive human brain cancers.
The latest work found CBD appeared to have a similar effect on breast cancer cells in the lab.
Future hope
Lead researcher Dr Sean McAllister said: "Right now we have a limited range of options in treating aggressive forms of cancer.
"Those treatments, such as chemotherapy, can be effective but they can also be extremely toxic and difficult for patients.
"This compound offers the hope of a non-toxic therapy that could achieve the same results without any of the painful side effects."
Dr Joanna Owens of Cancer Research UK said: "This research is at a very early stage.
"The findings will need to be followed up with clinical trials in humans to see if the CBD is safe, and whether the beneficial effects can be replicated.
"Several cancer drugs based on plant chemicals are already used widely, such as vincristine - which is derived from a type of flower called Madagascar Periwinkle and is used to treat breast and lung cancer. It will be interesting to see whether CBD will join them."
Maria Leadbeater of Breast Cancer Care said: "Many people experience side-effects while having chemotherapy, such as nausea and an increased risk of infection, which can take both a physical and emotional toll.
"Any drug that has fewer side-effects will, of course, be of great interest."
But she added: "It is clear that much more research needs to be carried out."

Hemp Global Warming Miracle
Let’s make a global warming miracle here.
Since we all live on the earth, we each must make her a priority too.
From: A Course in Miracles, Workbook, Lesson 23, 5.1-6
"...you are not trapped in the world you see, because its cause can be changed. This change requires, first, that the cause be identified and then let go, so that it can be replaced. The first two steps in this process require your cooperation. The final one does not."
WE “ARE NOT TRAPPED IN THE WORLD WE SEE”
We can change our way of living. It's time to put down the drama and deal with the issues at hand at the level of cause and effect.
Together, we can do it.
What’s true about global warming? There are excess levels of the greenhouse gas CO2 in the air, at cause for the documented heating of the earth. The glaciers are melting. The weather is changing rapidly. 80% of the adult bee population left the hives in February ’07. Einstein said we’ve got 4 years from when the bees left the hives to be on the earth. The clock is ticking and a solution to global warming is illegal...at least illegal from the perspective of the oil controlled government. I beg of you, if you are in the United States to support the Industrial Hemp Act of 2007.
“This change requires, first, that the cause be identified”
One of the main problems at cause for global warming is excess CO2. While folks argue about the source of the excess gas, science says it's affecting the planet in a not so positive way for our survival here. If you have not done so yet, please see Al Gore’s AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH.
“and then let go”
Let us let go of lifestyles that are killing us. Toxic energy and polluting the environment does not support life. Now, stop pretending not to know there is a simple solution to reversing the effects of excess CO2 in the air. That is by removing the cause - sufficiently reducing the excess greenhouse gas, CO2. How? HEMP. HEMP. HEMP. My friend at the USA Hemp Museum, Richard M. Davis, has a new book, HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION. It's available in both color and black & white at Lulu.com.
Richard M. Davis is scheduled to speak at this year's Global Marijuana March, ’07 in Los Angeles, the first Saturday in May. Richard has in his book information we need to save ourselves from the results of using toxic energy.
If you are interested in doing something to save your life, and man’s existence on the world, I urge you to buy and read his book when it’s available. In the meantime, visit the USA Hemp Museum’s bio fuels room. Richard’s working on a plan to use the old HEMP FOR VICTORY program successfully run during WWII as an effort to help win the war. Just a few things I learned from Richard's book: 1. Hemp is a bio mass champion when it comes to scrubbing the air of excess CO2 gas as it grows. 2. As a bio fuel, hemp burns clean and many power plants are already adapted to burn hemp. It can be processed to run in both diesel and automatic engines for cars, planes, trains, etc. 3. After harvest, the hemp plants can also be used for paper, wood, fabric and at least 50,000 other productive uses. 4. Since hemp is wind pollinated and not bee pollinated, it can step up as a food source to feed hungry populations, building peace on earth by reducing stress in individual lives.
We’ve made part of nature illegal, soiled her delicate balance, and wonder why we have a problem with the environment. How dare us tell nature what she can and can not grow. Actions have consequences, as do reactions. “The first two steps in this process require your cooperation.”
Let’s take some positive actions and save ourselves. Here's a few recommendations from the book.
1. Legalize hemp, tax it at 20%. Use part of those funds to help people dealing with global warming, i.e. Hurricane Katrina victims. Use another part to finance hemp growing. Immediately make available 10-20% of un-used federal land for family farmers to grow hemp to scrub the air of excess CO2. The federal government owns about 650 million acres of land (not counting DOD) so a lot of unemployed workers could find jobs and start small businesses. Monitor the environment for maximum effectiveness.
2. Make available hemp and other alternative, clean, environmentally supportive energies like wind, solar, hydro and magnetic.
“The final one does not.”
Logic says if we reduce the cause, our part - the effect will naturally be reduced, if it's not too late already.
The nerve of man to make a plant illegal. Taint' fittin'. It just 'taint fittin'.
