And you are most definitely incorrect about the tax act not affecting medical purposes "The American Medical Association (AMA) opposed the act because the tax was imposed on physicians prescribing cannabis, retail pharmacists selling cannabis, and medical cannabis cultivation/manufacturing; instead of enacting the marijuana Tax Act, the AMA proposed cannabis be added to the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act." and that covers the Harrison act and cannabis. http://books.google.com.mx/books?id=r9 wPbxMAG8 cC&pg=PA24&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false

I said I would use 70's as a base because modern day science has shown tons of research compared to the early year's science of cannabis that the government required. So all those dates you mentioned meant nothing to the government and the Marijuana tax act was passed. The medical application of cannabis isn't the point here it is about prohibition and how it also effected medical marijuana. MMJ wasn't in question but MMJ laws were. ""The American Medical Association (AMA) opposed the act because the tax was imposed on physicians prescribing cannabis, retail pharmacists selling cannabis, and medical cannabis cultivation/manufacturing; instead of enacting the marijuana Tax Act, the AMA proposed cannabis be added to the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act." Marijuana tax act wasn't just created to impose on physicians but on all marijuana. AMA proposed it be added to the Harrison act but never was instead the Marijuana tax act passed which was created in the mold of the Harrison act. Beside the AMA are the ones who are keeping marijuana illegal in this country by telling the DOJ it has no medical uses. I guess William C. Woodward, MD would be removed from the AMA these days on his view points of cannabis. http://americannewsreport.com/nationalpainreport/ama-opposes-legalization-calls-marijuana-dangerous-drug-8822463.html So I am to believe the same people who were fighting to make it legal for themselves can't find any evidence in this day and age for its medical usages. I guess they lost the paper work they were trying to put together to get marijuana on the Harrison act back in 1937. It's all one big joke Amy and we are the brunt end of it. The globalists are the ones running this game and everybody has a dog in this race one way or another. Taken from a Norml page: "Medical Use Marijuana, or cannabis, as it is more appropriately called, has been part of humanity's medicine chest for almost as long as history has been recorded. Of all the negative consequences of marijuana prohibition, none is as tragic as the denial of medicinal cannabis to the tens of thousands of patients who could benefit from its therapeutic use." I like to see just how many people who smoked marijuana did it just for the medical aspect. I am sure the numbers were low back in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and maybe the 90's the rate was much higher for mmj. And on the topic of intoxicant. Show me reliable studies that show the dangers of using marijuana over most products sold at any stores these days. I've been driving almost 30 years and the wife and I are going on our 24 th year together and we've been hit 6 times total by straight people. Prohibition is the problem ...... Back in a few, LOL

I would think that everyone in the army first has to understand who they are fighting. If everyone knows the enemy then everyone would be on the same page. We are far from being on the same page when it comes to cannabis and everybody has their own ideas about how this should end. I have supported every petition that has come across my screen as I would with this one and I do agree with your statement on other attack positions. Even if one of these petition reached someone who is misinformed it will awaken them to at least some of the facts about marijuana so in a since they aren't all in vain. My point being is that if 100 people sign 100 petitions and it does nothing but educate then it wasn't a total lost but a distraction. Now if 100 people told 100 people about the hr499 bill and then contacted their senators it could end all the fighting once and for all because we have spoken with our voices. We the people have the power in this country to end prohibition but when we are torn in 100 different direction it's hard to do any real damage. Since this is not a real war we can be in more places then one at a time. We can still sign petitions, get involved with state issues, attend meetings and rallies but it should be under one flag of reason and that is to end prohibition on cannabis. People need to come to terms with the fact that Medical Marijuana bills* are just a scam to allow prohibition to continue. Most people in states with MMJ laws are still going without their meds just so they will be forced to do street business which could result in jail time or prison. We are divided in our struggles and that is keeping cannabis illegal and until the day comes when we understand why prohibition must end we will all continue to suffer in one way or another to the effects of prohibition. Someone starts the petition I will sigh but everybody must inform people of the hr499 to end this whole war once and for all. *Medical marijuana bills and not the Medical marijuana itself.

"you sure do an awful lot of dismissing the actual facts with your opinions " Research any of what I've said. "then you contradict yourself first it was the tax act didint affect medical marijuana now it didnt only impose on doctors" Marijuana was not taxed for medical purposes. Medical purposes were effected by marijuana being taxed. Is that so hard to understand? "my participation in debate with you is over." It was over when you compared Alcohol to cannabis. Around 3 million medical marijuana users registered with the states. http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionID=001199 Over 100 Million Americans Have Smoked Marijuana. http://www.alternet.org/story/142556/over_100_million_americans_have_smoked_marijuana_--_and_it's_still_illegal Enough said: End prohibition.

Amy King under Title 21 USC Part B 811 (a) there are three options to initiate the evaluation and recommendations. By the Attorney General or a petition of a interested party. I am not a lawyer so I don't exactly know all correct wording. But certain laws make certain people to have to listen. Where some don't by law so no matter how loud your voice or how big a petition it will fall on deaf ears. Thank you for your question.

Okay then that makes your assumption correct - and i will re-evaluate with a new set of eyes!!! Alan Gordon!!! check this out lets get on this

Thanks for link. On it the three options to initiate by Attorney General, Secretary of Health and Human Services or a petition of interested party.

Robert Platshorn - has this ever been tried?

I've signed so many petitions in the past with no results that it makes me wonder in this day and age if it is even worth it anymore. I believe if we could by some chance get the 58% of Americans who support the legalization of marijuana to sign this it still falls into the hands of the very same people who are doing everything to keep it illegal. I still think our best option at this point is: http://beta.congress.gov/bill/113 th/house-bill/499 We can stop the injustices of prohibition if we all came together under this bill instead of people all being spread out fighting the cause from different angles. MMJ supporters do not realize that laws past in their state do little to nothing for patients that need cannabis. We are distracted by so many fights that we tend to lose sight of the over all game plan, Ending prohibition once and for all.

Consumer Law Services have you considered this approach for any clients?

Ask Mike Michael Krawitz

After reading this (and understand i am not a lawyer) it is my impression that only the Attorney General of the United States is the only person that can initiate these kind of proceedings

Accredited CME training for Docs and Nurses need to happen immediately. This is a separate issue than mmj. If we live in a legal mmj state, or not, we all have ECSystems in our bodies. Most docs do not know this. I personally have taught multiple CEO's of hospitals, who are also docs, about the ECSystem. A recent study I read shows less then 14% of our young docs are being taught about the ECS in med schools. You cannot ignore the digestive system or immune system. Train the docs, NOW. http://www.medicalcannabis.com/

Read number 10: http://norml.org/news/2013/12/26/2013-the-year-in-review-norml-s-top-10-events-that-shaped-marijuana-policy

When pharmacopeia started in the 1820's they were only capitalizing on cannabis and that it had worked just fine for people for thousands of years already. They gave people the option to get cannabis if they needed but you were still allowed to grow and posses it back then. It wasn't until the global bankers got involved and alcohol prohibition ended did marijuana all of a sudden became a problem to the country and the people. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/history_of_the_pharma_cartel.html Norml doesn't disregard the science behind medical marijuana it only opposes the pandering that the American people have to endure for MMJ when cannabis should have never been made illegal in the first place. The Harrison act has nothing to do with cannabis: "The Harrison Narcotics Tax Act (Ch. 1, 38 Stat. 785) was a United States federal law that regulated and taxed the production, importation, and distribution of opiates and Coca products. The act was proposed by Representative Francis Burton Harrison of New York and was approved on December 17, 1914.[1][2]" "The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, Pub. 238, 75 th Congress, 50 Stat. 551 (Aug. 2, 1937) was a United States Act that placed a tax on the sale of cannabis." Marijuana was not taxed for medical purposes. The right for every human being to use cannabis is an inherent law in this country and has been corrupted by our government for the global bankers. Global bankers have made cannabis illegal around the world with no evidence that it even creates more harm then good. In fact they have created the harm in order to keep cannabis illegal and people still buy into their trillion dollar efforts of propagate cannabis. We did not have the science about cannabis really until the 70's where we can go back and look at studies. I know there have been studies dating back even further but we'll use the 70's as a base years. People did not know the medical aspects of cannabis other then what they could tell by using the product. So everybody was a recreational user and that includes for the thousands of years before we had MMJ science. Only until now that people understand what cannabis can do that they feel they are more important then everybody else including those who have died in the war on drugs, those in prisons or on probation and the families and lives ruined due to prohibition. Medical marijuana has moved to the number 1 spot on why prohibition needs to be repealed but I do not feel it is any less important than any of the other reason why it should be repealed. Prohibition is the cause of patients to not have cannabis and not because there are no laws to allow them to have it. This is what people do not understand. You asked: "Where were the recreational perspectives when these laws were going into effect?" http://druglibrary.net/schaffer/Library/studies/vlr/vlr4.htm No one had a voice but those in power when it came to making marijuana illegal. Where were the patients back then? That right they were recreational user back then because we didn't have the science yet.

Actually we have multiple studies that were convened about cannanbis even identifying the CBD in 1940 - epilepsy study of 1947 and prior to that we have multiple studies and commentary from medical professionals (dr. O’Shaughnessy the indian hemp study of 1894) of its wide medical use world wide. Again not sure that I can follow the legal implication over recreational use has over the american perspective versus the commercial applications and profit schemes that would have been interrupted by continuing the medical demand for more research into its medical applications along with its advancing extraction equipment making it less labor intensive process for fibers. We beat prohibition of alcohol so people most certainly impacted outcomes. So i disagree with your position that we did not have medical understanding back then. William C. Woodward, MD, the American Medical Association’s legislative counsel wrote: “Cannabis and its preparations and derivatives are covered in the bill by the term ‘marihuana’ as that term is defined in section 1, paragraph (b). There is no evidence, however, that the medicinal use of these drugs has caused or is causing cannabis addiction. As remedial agents, they are used to an inconsiderable extent, and the obvious purpose and effect of this bill is to impose so many restrictions on their use as to prevent such use altogether. Since the medicinal use of cannabis has not caused and is not causing addiction, the prevention of the use of the drug for medicinal purposes can accomplish no good end whatsoever. How far it may serve to deprive the public of the benefits of a drug that on further research may prove to be of substantial value, it is impossible to foresee.” not even three years later the first cannabinoid was discovered "Pharmacological experiments with single cannabinoids were first performed in the 1940 s and 1950 s (reviewed in Loewe, 1944; Paton & Pertwee, 1973 a). Many of these were carried out either with preparations of THC, CBN or CBD extracted from cannabis or with two then recently synthesized cannabinoids" http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1038/sj.bjp.0706406/pdf and in 1947 an epilepsy study was done on children. They knew it medicinal uses.

Let me take you all the way back in history where cannabis is recorded in First recorded use of cannabis as medicine in Chinese pharmacopoeia of Shen Nung, one of the fathers of Chinese medicine 2727 BC. Notice it doesnt say religious, ceremonial or recreational it is a MEDICAL RECORDING!! then by the greeks 550 B.C . - The Persian prophet Zoroaster gives hemp first place in the sacred text, the Zend-Avesta, which lists over 10,000 medicinal plants - notice once again the MEDICINAL recordings.

I don't know of any divorce lawyers, but I just wanted to say, I hate how you have to be separated for a year in North Carolina before you can get divorced, it doesn't make any sense.

Have you tried the IRS office in Lexington? I think it's in the Bakhaus Bldg on Leestown Rd. (859-244-2400). Probably best to wait 4 wks, though, and then go with all your paperwork. One of my tax co-workers said you can also request a transcript of the tax filing, which would show whether they disagree with the calculation or think they've paid it.

Frances, you might also try Mark Meadows office in Asheville. His office is open the first Tuesday of every month from 9 AM until 12 PM at the Skyland Fire Department which is just south of where you live. But you don't even have to go there. You can go to his web-site, look for Constituent Services over on the right, and click on Help with a Federal Agency. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/mark_meadows/412552
