On November 20, 2005 Irv Rosenfeld, a
Ft. Lauderdale stockbroker, will have smoked 220 pounds
of US government marijuana/cannabis over a 23-year period.
The longest using patient in the federal
governments Compassionate Use Program,
with only 7 US citizens being shown such compassion,
Irv has benefited from this
medicine without negative side effects of any type.
“The US government has never had a moment’s
hesitation about providing him
and the other six US citizens this medicine. The
researchers at NIDA knew
from the outset of this program that cannabis was
non-toxic to humans
and of significant benefit for the health of some
individuals”, |
said
Al Byrne, co-founder of the national educational charity
called Patients Out of Time.
“They knew, because all of the more than
two-dozen studies conducted by countries
around the globe, including the US, have come to
that conclusion.”
“Chronic Cannabis Use in the Compassionate
Investigational New Drug Program:
An Examination of Benefits and Adverse Effects of
Legal Clinical Cannabis”
by E. Russo, MD and M.L. Mathre, RN,
confirmed that for four of the federal patients
studied including Irv
(the others wished to remain anonymous) the government
was right. View
