As a former WWII Combat Infantryman, Scout, Pointman and Forward Observer I would like to present my opinion based on been there, done that, seen that and now taking care of PTSD Veteran Victims. http://salem-news.com/articles/june082009/ptsd_anguish_pl_6-8-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/june082009/ptsd_anguish_pl_6-8-09.php Mon, 08 Jun 2009 06:51:00 PDT I was aghast to read in The Oregonian, May 5, 2009, that the Oregon Legislature was planning to allow psychologists to prescribe the most dangerous and lethal pharmaceuticals to “their” patients. We have already seen what has happened in the VA hospitals where psychologists and even social workers are prescribing these extremely dangerous medicines. http://salem-news.com/articles/may072009/fake_care_pl_5-7-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may072009/fake_care_pl_5-7-09.php Thu, 07 May 2009 17:10:00 PDT Thousands of Salem-News.com readers have read my articles and hundreds have responded, some viciously. This article is to those who believed the BS of the movie REEFER MADNESS. The misinformation by NIDA (National Institute of Drug Abuse) is so grossly false, so grotesque, that it is hilarious. http://salem-news.com/articles/may042009/med_mj_misalign_pl_5-4-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may042009/med_mj_misalign_pl_5-4-09.php Mon, 04 May 2009 07:23:00 PDT I was interviewed for The Los Angeles Times on Sept. 4, 2002 by Kim Murphy. The title was MEDICAL POT IS DOCTORS SPECIALTY. It was a pretty good article announcing the success of the OREGON MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROGRAM while simultaneously exposing the ignorance and vehemence of the Oregon Medical Board who apparently knew absolutely nothing about the benefits of cannabis/marijuana as medicine which at onetime was the most prescribed, most used medicine in the U.S. and Europe. Maybe they all saw REEFER MADNESS. http://salem-news.com/articles/september202008/marijuana.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september202008/marijuana.php Sat, 20 Sep 2008 20:00:00 PDT Bringing Oregon's hemp movement to center stage, HempStalk 08 created an environment where rational discussion regarding Cannabis legalization was the norm. Thousands converged on Portland's Eastbank Festival Plaza last weekend for the fourth annual HempStalk, learning about the benefits of hemp cultivation and to support legalization of Cannabis for all adults. Paul Stanford of the The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation (THCF) is an organizer of the event. He introduced Dr. Phil Leveque as an integral force behind the success of medical marijuana in Oregon. Leveque took the stage and addressed the enthusiastic crowd, "Good afternoon, you Potheads!", met with a resounding applause. http://salem-news.com/articles/september142008/hempstalk_091108.php http://salem-news.com/articles/september142008/hempstalk_091108.php Sun, 14 Sep 2008 01:43:00 PDT
