Rick Simpson Confirms Police Raid on His Home
Rick Simpson says police have raided his Nova Scotia home - and he won't be coming back to Canada to face charges. (Photo by Hempjack - click to enlarge.)CANNABIS CULTURE - Rick Simpson, a Canadian man known for treating cancer patients with his signature 'hemp oil', says police have raided his Nova Scotia home - and he won't be coming back to Canada from Europe to face charges.
"It was on [November] 25 that I got the call that I'd been raided again," Simpson said in an interview with Remo of The Urban Grower in a YouTube video. "That's three charges since 2005; this will be the third charge."
The Canadian says he will not return home to face authorities, but will instead stay in Europe to avoid a prison sentence.
"If I go back to Canada they will charge me and put me in jail," he said. "I know they won't give me bail, cause I'm a...three time loser. If I go to jail with no bail and no medicine, it will probably kill me. I'm not willing to commit suicide for Mr. Harper. I'll stay here in Europe, stay out of Canada, and fight from here."
Simpson has built somewhat of a cult following for his work using oil extracted from the cannabis plant to treat cancer patients. Though he has no formal medical training, supporters claim he has helped to cure hundreds inflicted with cancer, including several terminal cases. His popularity was boosted by the success of an internet documentary film, Run From the Cure, but he has seen little attention from the mainstream media and his extraordinary claims have yet to be verified by any scientific or medical body.
Simpson was arrested in a 2005 raid of his property and eventually tried and found guilty of marijuana possession, cultivation and trafficking. Though he was facing a possible 12 years in prison, Simpson walked away with only a $2000 fine and no probation.
He was featured in a five-page article in the new January 2010 issue of High Times, leading some to speculate the article may have brought his activities to the attention of police. According to High Times, Simpson's property was also raided in 2003 but no charges were filed.
Unconfirmed rumors had been circulating the Internet for a few days (with good coverage at Overgrow The World) claiming the 59-year-old's house had been raided and seized. An article published in the Amhurst Daily News mentions a bust in Simpson's area, but doesn't mention him by name.
AMHERST - In the past two weeks, five search warrants have resulted in a number of people facing criminal charges.[...]
One was a residence in Athol where charges are pending against a 59-year-old male after a "substantial amount" of marijuana and cannabis resin were seized, along with drug trafficking materials, marijuana production equipment and prohibited weapons.
Simpson had traveled to Amsterdam to accept the Freedom Fighter of the Year award at the High Times Cannabis Cup, but indicates he is in Austria while filming the YouTube video.
Efforts by Cannabis Culture to reach Simpson by telephone have been unsuccessful. Amherst and Cumberland RCMP were contacted to confirm the bust but did not return telephone calls by the time of publication of this article. Visit Cannabis Culture for continuing updates on this story.

UPDATE - Thursday, December 3:
Rick Simpson has published a statement about the raid on his website:
Hemp Medicine's Emperor's Political Exile in Europe
- a message from Rick SimpsonOn November 25th, 2009, one day before I was crowned the Freedom Fighter of the Year 2009 at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, I received a word that I have been raided again by the RCMP. I contacted Tim Hunter at the Amherst attachment and asked I was being charged. Of course, he refused to give me straight answer. All he would say was that the RCMP wanted to talk to me.
After openly growing hemp in my backyard this past summer and announcing this fact to the public on tom Young´s open line talk show in June, how could the RCMP not be aware of my activities? The truth is they knew exactly what I was doing. RCMP officers were even sending people that needed help to me. I can only surmise that the purpose of this raid was to keep me from returning to Canada.
If I return home, I will be arrested and put in jail without bail or medicine. I am not afraid of their jails but I cannot go without my medicine, the system has nothing that could help me with my conditions. So for me to return to Canada would be like committing suicide. I would be thrown in jail and denied my medicine and a short time later you would hear in the news that Rick Simpson died of natural causes. I cannot tell the people of Canada who are depending on my presence to help their medical conditions how sorry I am. But it was not me who caused this situation.
It seems the goal is to keep me from returning home and they succeeded. But to what end? All hemp magazines on this planet are now telling their readers how to heal themselves with this wonderful medicine. If governments want to live in denial, it will be short-lived. We are gaining tens of thousands of followers every day. You cannot stop the truth.
For me, going to the Cannabis Cup was a great adventure and I would like to thank Greenhouse Seeds for making this trip possible. To stand before hundreds of people and being crowned as the Freedom Fighter of the Year was a great honour. But it is an honour that comes with a price. Most people who have worn the tricorn hat have gone to jail for spreading the truth.
To have this honour bestowed on me and to join the ranks of people like Jack Herer and Eddy Lepp has given my life even more purpose.
Jack Herer believed as I do that the key to hemp´s complete legalisation is in the magnificent medicine this plant can produce. Once the public becomes aware of the fact that properly made hemp medicine can cure or control practically any medical condition, who is going to stand against the use of hemp?
I must also mention the great work done by Steve Hagar and High Times magazine. Cannabis cures cancer right on their cover. It is so refreshing to know that the system has no control over hemp publications. What a shame are so-called free press and news media refuse to print the truth.
I must also tip my tricorn hat to the Weed World out of the UK. They were the first hemp magazine to cover my work. They even released a special edition in September 2009 featuring a number of articles that I wrote about hemp medicine and other aspects of the hemp movement. I must also acknowledge the great work done by Bayer & Romsy Hemp Cosmetics and Konoptikum hemp magazine of the Czech Republic. This publication has also done much to spread the truth about hemp in Europe.
Presently, I am staying with friends in Europe but it saddens me to be unable to be with my family and loved ones during Christmas. For the time being, it seems I will be seeking asylum in Europe. This may not be a bad thing since seminars about hemp oil are being arranged in many countries. I hate to go begging but if anyone out there has an extra few dollars they can donate to us, it would greatly ease the burden on me. Of course it costs money to live in Europe and we are expending a great deal putting on seminars and spreading the word. So any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
They say everything happens for a reason, so I will simply put my head down and continue forward. To anyone in Canada or the US requiring help, simply follow the information we provided at www.phoenixtears.ca. Almost anyone can produce this medicine without difficulty, if they follow the instructions. Again, I apologize to everyone for not returning. But as you can see, my hands are tied.
We are at the dawn of new age in medicine and a new day for mankind. Not only can hemp save the world, it can eliminate a great deal of human suffering and can even put an end to starvation. What are we waiting for? Join with me and let us put an end to this madness. It can only survive if we continue to sit on our backsides and do nothing. Stand up and be counted and let us give ourselves a chance to heal.
Best wishes,
Rick Simpson
This Global TV News clip features Rick and the raid:
Steven Hager has published a new piece at High Times about the raid and Rick accepting the Freedom Fighter of the Year at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam:
Rick Simpson Seeks Political Refuge in Europe
On November 25, 2009, shortly after an article on cannabis and cancer was published in HIGH TIMES, Rick Simpson's home in Nova Scotia was raided and seized by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). For the past seven years, Simpson has been making oil from cannabis grown on his property and providing it freely to cancer patients. "Seventy per cent of the patients that follow the protocol become cancer-free after ingesting 60 grams of high-quality oil," claims Simpson. This is the third time Simpson's property has been raided and he has already been convicted of being a drug dealer, even though he never accepted money in exchange for oil. Over a dozen patients and doctors were present and willing to testify at his trial, but none were allowed to take the stand.

Free marc Emery/Rick Simpson
To hell with these unjust laws. I wish Marc had ran. Mr. Simpson, You stay Where you are. The more of this you see, the more It makes me think they are afraid real research will be done and the findings will reveal our "leaders" as liars and frauds. The day is coming they will be the ones backpedeling and running.
The World is closing in on prohibitionist
As the world revolution of great freedom fighters progresses .The weak links of prohibition are becoming even more bent out of shape as a legion must.Simpson an honoured General ,does not back down from a fight but steps forward to battle on his field.
The fields are sweet and aromatic as the wind brushes by the river of passion and truth on the way to the valley of truth and there awaits the freedom of knowledge and wisdom.
The glorious victory of sticky medical resin dreames resinate through the wasps nest as wax to the ears.The riders of great percherons shall reap the illness and the vales of death will be lifted.
Love Freedom and Knowledge
Time well spent is Integrity
Bold as LIONS we shall ROAR!
Crazy Bird
Rick Simpson raided again
Rick Simpson is one of the most wonderful men I have ever talked to. Jack Herer contacted Rick on my behalf in early September, to give me some important information. I was the one that contacted Rick when Jack had his heart attack. Rick cannot go back to his home but I believe he will find a way to open new doors with the miracle that is his healing oil. Hemp Oil forever!
Rick Simpson is not a criminal, but a HERO!
It is my opinion that Rick Simpson should not be persecuted for saving hundreds of people's lives, or helping to mitigate their "incurable" medical conditions, or even for the heinous crime of doing it FOR FREE, while the "generous and loving" multinational pharmaceutical conglomerates magnanimously offer lesser-quality toxins that do NOT heal people for tens of thousands of percent PROFIT MARGINS!
OK, OK...Rick's an evil bastard for taking money out of the hands of billionnaire pharmaceutical investors...but who is really at fault for those companies getting to ridiculously out of hand in the first place?
"Say no to drugs!" is a nice idea...but it's NEVER been that way! It's ALWAYS been "Say NO to natural plants or extracts that work, or drugs that we don't make hideous profits on!"
People are ALIVE because of Rick Simpson that would otherwise have effectively been MURDERED by "mainstreram medicine!" How difficult a concept is this for even the woefully and wilfully ignorant to grasp?
Rick Simpson should be Knighted by the Queen Herself, not prosecuted!
Now Harper...there's a good target for prosecution! Bill C-6 just around the corner to OBLITERATE natural health care products, and Bill C-15 to make sure that anyone who doesn't buy into the pharmaceutical profit propaganda gets put in prison, and we get to have a wonderful new prison-industrial complex just like the USA! Oh, Joy! Oh, Bliss!
People REALLY need to start asking more questions about the way this country is run...you might start by checking out Marc's Prison Potcasts...he did an excellent one on the Canadian Government that ALL Canadians should hear!
Thanks to CC for being the first "official" Cannabis Publication to get the word out! (Trust me...I've been checking!) Hopefully, this story will begin to spread around the world quickly, and give Rick some protection...from the criminals who currently run Canada.
Government lies and corruption
As anyone can see, the lies of governments around the world are becoming more evident(the US/Canada Mostly).As this happens, it our duty as freedom loving people to force these truths into public minds , to force these vultures out of our lies,pluck their feathers.
As we all stand and force reform upon our leaders and governemnts, we need to assure freedom now and forever.
The swiss have a policy that is great. They require their citezens to own a fire arm. Anyone, governemt or other wise that tries to remove their guns are to be considered criminals in order to keep governemt from turning all to slaves.
The world is awaking to the tyranny of oppressors.
Marc just RUN
Marc just do what Rick did....
I don't know how true it is,
I don't know how true it is, but I've read that other people have helped with Mr. Emery's bail. If he fled they would lose their money. Sometimes it is better to stay and fight, or lay down and accept. Just my 2 cents...
Rick Simpson is not a "Runner"either!
Rick SImpson did not "run from the law", as you incorrectly insinuate. He was in Europe when the raid took place. He simply has enough common sense to realize that if he were to return home at this moment in time, he would likely be arrested IMMEDIATELY after leaving the plane.
The chance that he'd even get inside the terminal to claim his luggage is infinitessimal!
They would likely have a dozen cars all on the runway prepared to take him off in a blaze of press and propaganda, to make him yet another showpiece for the DEA's "War on Canadians Telling The Truth!"
They would build it up as exactly what they're trying to do right now...making a true humanitarian and an honest man into a criminal, to suit whatever agendas they KNOW are wrong.
The government honestly believe that if they tell the lies enough times, eventually, that makes it the truth. We need to teach our politicians that the truth is still the truth, no matter how many times they deny it! A lie is still a lie, no matter how many times they tell us it's real.
The criminals running this country need to simply stop beieving in their own fallacies, and understand that WE KNOW THE TRUTH ALREADY! The game is up! The farce has been exposed! It's time to just own up to the truth and let the world heal and be free!
And this means Rick Simpson as well...
Rick IS running away
Here is Rick Simpson's statement at his website www.phoenixtears.ca:

'O Canadian Horrow Show
O Canada!
Broken home and lying land!
True patriot lies in all thy leaders command.
With heavy hearts we see thee fall,
The True North weak and bound!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we loose our freedom for thee.
God weeps for our land lost and enslaved!
O Canada, we are thrown into prisions for thee.
O Canada, our lives torn apart for thee.
Hold on a moment here...
I am FOR legalization and for MMJ in Canada. I am AGAINST Marc Emery's deportation to the USA.
That said, I do not accept that Rick Simpson is legitimate and I do not accept his claims of having "cured" cancer AND diabetes with hemp oil.
And you shouldn't either.
Rick Simpson's claims have never been verified and lack credibility. Many of the patients he supposedly "cured" of cancer never had a positive diagnosis of cancer in the first place - and never had tests to verify it was gone, either.
These spurious claims are based on the patient's own perception that they had cancer, and that they are now cured.
There is a word for that in the English language: it's called bullshit.
Rick Simpson's claims in this month's current issue of High Times even prompted Dr. Lester Grinspoon, M.D., Professor Emiritus of Harvard to post and urge great caution over accepting Simpson's unsupported claims. As many of you know, Dr. Grinspoon is a longstanding friend of the Marijuana movement and a true cannabis crusader. Dr. Grinspoon has attended to give evidence in support of David Levine, before the Senate of Canada, and is a prolific and highly credible supporter of medical marijuana. Dr. Grinspoon is the real deal.
Dr. Grinspoon was so disturbed after reading High Times that he wrote a letter cautioning all of us against accepting Simpson's claims.
Dr. Grinspoon's letter is posted here on WhyProhibition.ca I urge you all to read it:
http://whyprohibition.ca/blogs/jacob-hunter/medical-marijuana-note-caution
WORSE is Rick Simpson claiming his treatment works best if patients don't take chemotherapy.
Claims like that encourage patients to avoid taking real proven treatments with a significant chance of success in favour of SNAKE OIL. That's not compassion; that's FRAUD of the worst kind. That's the kind of statement that deserves to land your ass in the darkest, deepest hole in a Federal prison that exists. That sort of claim is utterly reckless and SHAMEFUL. That man is selling false hope while encouraging people to turn down real treatments that could save their lives.
Do not be so blind as to simply support anybody who purports to pick up the banner of Medical Marijuana for any reason, under any circumstances. Cannabis deserves research as a potential treatment and a cure for some forms of cancer (of the HUNDREDS of forms that exist). 100% Absolutely.
But claims by Rick Simpson that he has "cured" cancer AND Diabetes (it's MAGIC!!) with "cannabis oil" are spurious and unfounded. I believe Rick Simpson to be a CRANK who has no legitimacy whatsoever. If he is growing marijuana in Canada with a Health Canada license - fine. If he isn't, I have little sympathy, given what this man has done.
Moreover, it is clear that this man does not deserve the support of the many sincere activists who visit Cannabis Culture. Rick Simpson Is not Marc Emery, He's not even David Malmo-Levine or Jack Herrer, for that matter.
Rick Simpson, however sincere, appears to be an irrational crackpot who has made claims that knowingly endanger the lives of good people - many of them pot smokers, just like you, too. He has done more to harm the cause of Madical marijuana than he ever has to help it.
Don't let emotion cloud your better judgement here - and don't allow yourself to be manipulated with a knee-jerk reaction, either. You can stand for legalization - you can support Medical Marijuana and you can support the expanded use of cannabis for testing as a cancer treatment, too.
That does not mean that a dangerous crackpot like Rick Simpson is deserving of your support. In my opinion, he is a fraudster who is recklessly endangering cannabis users who desperately need medical treatment.
dumb
Hey Fatigues- either you work for the chemotherapy industry or you are just plain jealous of Rick. THC has been proven to shrink tumors. Stop slagging good people. Also, in my other post on this thread, I meant to say that Advanced Nutrients makes your buds more weighty and STICKY! I didn't spell right, my bad. Rick is a hero. His stuff is wayyyy safer than chemo.
Try to Act Rational and Objective, please
"THC has been proven to shrink tumors."
No it has not. There is some evidence that it MAY help shrink some tumors in animals. There is no evidence at all that is has cured cancer (let alone diabetes) EVER.
I hope that cannabis and its use in treating cancer is thoroughly researched, too.
I quote Dr. Grinspoon, M.D. who wrote the following this month on the VERY subject of Hemp Oil and Rick Simpson:
"However, while there is growing evidence from animal studies that it may shrink tumor cells and cause other promising salutary effects in some cancers, there is no present evidence that it cures any of the many different types of cancer.
Spare me the being a shill of Big Pharma crap. What I am is intelligent, rational and objective. And I urge you to also be rational and objective.
sad 4 u
i looked up your Dr. Grinspoon. He is a psychiatrist. That is not a cancer specialist. I don't trust psychiatrists. I have read right here and in the magazine that THC stops tumors. Curing cancer is hard to do because it is a mutating cell type of problem that can come back at any time. As for your slags of Rick Simpson, to myself and lots of other people what is the worst thing for the marijuana movement is not some elderly gent who has helped people with cannabis oils, it is the constant slagging of people who stand up and fight for cannabis. What good is served for people to go writing letters saying that Marc is bad or Rick is bad and you Mr. Fatigues even say he ought to be in prison, telling me that you believe in the prison state. When you watch the vid do you see a con man? If so, you are looking in the mirror of your own self. I see an elderly gentleman who just got awarded from High Times. I suppose next you will say that High Times are evil? I am really sad for you, Mr. Rational
Dr. Grinspoon is medical
Dr. Grinspoon is medical doctor. He is a specialist (Psychiatry) and taught medicine at one of the most prestigious medical schools in the world.
He has been an ardent supporter of marijuana for decades. I trust Dr. Grinspoon. Whether or not you trust psychiatrists, Dr. Grinspoon's comments are premised upon a solid foundation in medical science - not voodoo and not wilful blindness. Dr. Grinspoon's main points are as follows:
Rick Simpson claims are not trustworthy as:
1) there is no verification that someone who has been "cured" of cancer was ever diagnosed with cancer in the first place; and
2) there is no verification by an oncologist (you know - the cancer specialists you trust?) who has actually verified that the cancer is gone from the patient
A diagnosis of cancer is based upon a biopsy - not upon an interview on how someone "feels." If you cannot accept this fundamental point, then there is little you can say that is worthy of intellectual respect.
You may or may not trust psychiatrists. But Dr. Grinspoon's logic is unassailable - and firmly grounded upon sound medical science.
I will leave you and the ever-so-rational Church of Scientology to reflect, (or audit your way out of) Dr. Grinspoon's compelling argument.
As for High Times: I believe that Steve Hager allowed Jack Herer's stroke -- and what appeared at the time to be The Hemperor's imminent death -- to get the better of his professional judgment. That is only a guess, of course. There are many other explanations that could fit the facts as to why Steve Hager allowed such a profound lapse of judgment to lead him to publish his article. Someday, Steve Hager will tell us.
I do not think High Times is "evil". I do think they were reckless and irresponsible in running the piece in the manner that they did. They were reckless and irresponsible because in failing to demand any substantiated proof of Rick Simpson's claims, they abandoned all reasonable ethical standards of journalism and instead put on their short skirts and pom-poms. In doing so, they endangered the lives of some of their readership.
They failed to do the very things that Marc Emery has already written about below as to why CC has never run "the article" on Rick Simpson.
That's an ethical standard that Steve Hager should have applied, too. With the benefit of hindsight, I expect Steve Hager - or somebody else at High Times, will ultimately admit as much... in the fullness of time.
In the end? It's High Times - it's not the New York Times, let alone The New England Journal of
Medicine or JAMA.
just keep on slaggin'
other people have responded to your slags better than me and now you are slagging a dying man, Jack, and the editors of High Times so it goes on and on. you are right and everybody else is wrong. the people Rick helped are all wrong. Rick is wrong. But the NY Times or these medical journals, most of them are shills for the pharma and surgery industries, those are what you believe in. and the church of scientology, are you so clueless? they are totally against marijuana in all forms, they are a bunch of wackos, a cult,tom cruises, etc. they do not support Rick Simpson, they are idiotic drug warriors, why you even mention them is totally stupid. The bottom line is that people like you are haters. have you ever done anything to help cancer patients, have you ever gotten yourself busted for cannabis like Marc Emery and Rick have? have you ever run the cannabis cup like steve hagar has? but you have a lot of time to slag this man on the internet and that is exactly what is wrong with the marijuana movement is people like you who slag people who have stood up for weed. i have wasted enough of my time posting on here. i can see other people have already called you out on your BS, so go fatigue yourself somewhere else.
Magical Pharma
God's peace all:
Again with the flawed use of logic AND reason.
Divisive opinions have no place here ... if you can't put up ... cite sources instead of citing opinion and generalizing your sources, to sound as if they were the be all and end all of fact ... then shut up until you have done more study and less adoring of the M.D.s.
I am in an advantaged position to be able to add my affidavit to a pile of over 40 other subjects of self experimentation ... all of whom attest to the healing effects they have undergone ... where are the satatisticians asking for my medical records ... they are paid to turn a blind eye to results and to find experimental proceedures that will result in statistics they need to back their position ... the VERY WORST type of scientific inquiry.
I have the great benefit of having experimented on myself instead of ignoring the matter and basing my opinions on my preconceptions.
You on the other hand will be held accountable for your words.
Take Care
Beware
Alan
Medicinal studies
There have been studies in animals that show THC MAY help shrink cancer...YES! We wont be able to do real studies with human trials or even prove /disprove the idea that THC can help cancer until we force our governments(US/Canada) to get out of the way!
Where I think a measure of rational thought is needed on the run from the cure Idea, having a negitive attitude(or defeatists attitude) toward peoples hopes isnt useful in this fight. If you have/get cancer, by all means, consult with your doctor on todays therapies, but dont discount any natural ones either. The question is, what would you do to try save your life.
If your dying what does it matter to try?
You're not that intelligent,
You're not that intelligent, obviously. Since Rick gives the recipe and the directions, and people prove this to themselves everyday... what you are is full of hot air and opinionated. Nothing more. (Not to mention antagonistic.)
If you believe in chemo so much, go drink a glass of it and let us know how that turns out for you.
How much are they paying you pharma reps to do this against your own people? Is it worth it to you?
You will not win your argument with people who used hemp oil to heal themselves. You sit there calling the world flat but you can't get off your lazy butt long enough to go look.
Stop wasting everyone time with your grandstanding. I agree with the poster who said you are jealous or a pharma rep, you sure talk like both.
Rick Simpson & Staying in Europe
Two things I would like to comment on.
Many people asked us when Cannabis Culture was going to write about Rick Simpson and his "oil".
Whenever I asked Rick Simpson to write about his work, or engaged other journalists and writers to write about Rick Simpson, and finally when I tried to do it myself, Simpson never co-operated. I could never get actual names and phone numbers of patients who were allegedly "cured". I never could see any so-called sworn affidavits. I could never interview any patients. I could never get the formula used, or the strain, or anything specific whatsoever. That is why no journalist has been able to write about Simpson, he is unverifiable, in his claims, his patients, his documentation, everything, really. No solid paperwork either.
Secondly, its cowardice to stay in Europe when Simpson should, to me, obviously come back and prove his claims in court. Lets have the "cured" patients in court, lets see the affidavits, lets have the science and the evidence submitted in court. If Simpson's claims are true, he stands a good chance of making a great case of historical precedents.
That Simpson wouldn't want to return to Canada is suspicious to me. You don't get "hero" status or folk legend or pioneer accolades by running away. He is not being sought by US authorities, its a local raid, its his third raid/charge, but it by no means is an undesirable situation. Putting Simpson in jail for cultivation still seems very unlikely, especially since Bill C-15 is not yet law. There is a great potential for a medical necessity defense. There are all sorts of opportunities to educate the entire nation in an extensive defense, bringing in the "cured" as witnesses, all of them will be compelling....if all the claims made by Simpson are true.
I find Simpson a bit of an odd fellow. When he was raising money to travel across North America to promote his "oil", they claimed to need $300,000 to do the tour, and they raised only $3,000, so it was called off. I couldn't believe this $300,000 figure they claimed to be trying to raise. Jodie & I traveled to 30 Canadian cities across Canada for about $17,000 over 2 months from St. John's to Victoria, and I told them this amount of money they claimed to need was outlandish for a tour, and absurd to try to get this amount raised for what would be a simple speech at the public library in selected cities.
The claims by Simpson need to be verified, and a courtroom is a good place to do so, its a giant stage, and he has been, after all, asking for a big stage to tell his story about how Cannabis Cures Cancer.
Well said
"Secondly, its cowardice to stay in Europe when Simpson should, to me, obviously come back and prove his claims in court. Lets have the "cured" patients in court, lets see the affidavits, lets have the science and the evidence submitted in court. If Simpson's claims are true, he stands a good chance of making a great case of historical precedents."
Well said, Mr. Emery.
And if he won't do that, I think people are entitled to draw an adverse inference as to why he does not want his claims of curing cancer examined under the bright lights of a courtroom.
Wisdom and understanding
I have seen other reports about cannabis being effective in combating cancer. There is a laboratory video on YouTube that shows cannabis destroying brain cancer cells. I have heard about several people who have been cured of cancer, AIDS, and other various infections using Rick Simpson's hemp oil preparation. Therefore, I don't doubt his claim that he used hemp oil to cure people's cancer. The reason he isn't surrendering to the evil empire may be that he isn't ready to be martyred, which by his wisdom and understanding of who he is battling against, he knows is a sure thing.
marc emery- comment ?
well id like to comment on your comment
1 rick wrote a piece for you-you dint like it -jack herer put ot up on www.jackherer.com
2 rick isnt running,he needs this medicine to stay alive.
3. i was at his court dates where were you or cannabis culture? or a real media for that fact?
4.i live next door to rick,he has more than enough evidense have you come and seen it? oh the free press? they dint come either!
5. prove it your self put the hemp oil on a skin cancer report the findings...simple as that.
6. rick has treated over 2500 people to date so who knows better? grinspoon? guzman? dr. melomede calls rick a pioneer in this medicine.
7.300,ooo.00 to do a tour
well 30 cities
what is cost to take out ads in 30 cities?
what the cost of a 4 member team? eat- sleep?
what the cost of gas to drive rick's big truck coast to coast and back again?
and buy a trailer and another truck to tow gear and set up ahead of rick for his speaks.
as well as having dvd's and info to give away for a 30 city tour?
over 80,000 canadians have been busted this yr alone,1.5 million to date. when we get to the magic 6 million make-will they end this holocaust?
it will be the medicine that will end the global genocide of human beings that use the hemp plant.
when you got busted i donated 100.00 dollars
it was not much but believe me iam poor.
i know you donate tons of money to the cause, have you donated any to rick?

and start saving people.
happy birth day rick simpson
we love you
and we at phoenixtears
will be working hard to find away to quash these charges so you can come home.
keep safe
one last thing marc
quote you/
he claims by Simpson need to be verified, and a courtroom is a good place to do so, its a giant stage, and he has been, after all, asking for a big stage to tell his story about how Cannabis Cures Cancer.
had you come to court you would have seen for yourself.
they wont let the 48 people testify.
they dont care if it cure's cancer.
did you grow hemp,make oil,give it away.
guilty.
prince of pot
it's the cheech and chong image that gives the medicine a bad light.

Rick Simpson
You say
>>>it has and never will be about the money for rick simpson.<<<
while saying "people of the world rick simpson needs all our help.
and he is in need of funds...www.phoenixtears.ca...please support rick simpson
he sure needs it now."
and outrageously commenting that $300,000 you sought to put on the Simpson tour was necessary for a crew of four, big trucks, trailers, ads in newspapers, and other grandiosity. Jodie & I visited 7,000 people in 30 cities and towns over 2 months for $17,000, which was paid for in $500 amounts from 30 sponsors.
If you are sincere, you just do it.
Simpson's great claims have never survived any journalistic inspection. When I was editing your article on Simpson, Mark, there were no verifying interviews, no verification of claims, no oncologists or doctors named, no details on the oil and why its special, no photographs of patients before & after, there were no historical footnotes indicating patient dates, health, and tests. It was just the same rah-rah cheer leading that I see now from Simpson supporters.
Who was Rick Simpson's lawyer in the first trial? If he had a professional lawyer, he could have launched numerous motions claiming a medical necessity, but this was not done. I have never even seen any comments from any lawyer hired by Simpson on his case. Even now, his behaviour is peculiar. --- Marc Emery
Not Law but rather a STATUTE
God's peace all
It is getting hard to hold good-will toward someone who would encourage someone in Rick Simpsons position to allow himself to follow a lawyer into the belly of Babylon.
What makes you think a lawyer has any understanding of the medical issues here ... and as the kind herb is both tonic and a panacea, the STATUTE fails to become a Law as it has not gained 'consent of the governed" ... no law ... no case ... no distraction from getting the medicine to those who need to access it's healing effects.
Seek out my other posts here and you will see why I know cannabis cures cancer.
Take Care
Beware
Alan

Marc:
For someone who is in so much legal hot water, you sure have all the answers. I wish you had been here to witness what we all saw here in court and even then I am not convinced that you would support Rick. Although I am ashamed to say I supported your fight to remain in Canada, after this display. I called Ottawa three times and left the messages you wanted people to say, plus I added my own two cents to those telephone messages and posted your situation on my facebook pages.
Mark Allen is 100% right here. You declined the first cannabis magazine interview with Rick Simpson (I know because I typed it after Rick wrote it and emailed it to you), and then you complain that Rick never cooperated with you? More like the other way around, you rejected it and you called it nothing more than "a political rant of sorts". Now that the story has gained the attention it deserves in real magazines you are crying fraud on Rick Simpson, (and be reassured that public opinion will fry the ones who are lying in the end) so we're not worried about what you say - not in the slightest. You call Rick's actions cowardly, as if you know anything about the man; you do not. What you, Grinspoon, and others are doing is called GRANDSTANDING, which is defined by http://www.thefreedictionary.com as a verb meaning 'to perform ostentatiously in order to impress the audience and with an eye to the applause'. For shame, Marc Emery. Now you really are just blowing smoke.
This has been tried in court already in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada in September 2007. 10 patients, 6 doctors, waiting to testify for hours and then told they were never going to get the chance, and I was one of them who was cured of scoliosis pain that kept me in agony for years.
The judge, the prosecutors (both local and Federal) were strictly against allowing any of us to testify. Medical evidence, scientific evidence, human evidence... all there waiting to be released. Not allowed by the powers that be. The 6 RCMP officers thought Rick's actions were not those of a typical drug dealer, making his claims public in newspapers and telling everyone within earshot. Drug dealers don't do that, do they? Not ones who have something to hide, in my humble opinion.
Maybe if you educated yourself on how things are run in Amherst, Nova Scotia, had you actually sat in the courtroom and watched all of this unfold... and how far back in the past we are in terms of fair laws and fair people to be responsible enough to be in power you would not automatically conclude that something is amiss with Rick Simpson's motives. In fact, quite the opposite. The Canadian Charter of Rights is not upheld where we live in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada. There was no real news coverage of any of it, just dinky little local newspapers with headlines that completely undermined the story as "Pot Grower Arrested Again!" Pot grower? Whoever comes up with headlines like that for a cure for cancer in their hometown?
There has even been a Charter of Rights challenge done in Amherst, Nova Scotia by Rick Simpson several years ago. There were 48 signed affidavits of people cured, sitting in the courtroom, only to hear the judge toss them all out and call them "anecdotal" while further stating that common people aren't smart enough to know if they are healed or not. Well it is my experience and the experience of thousands of people as evidenced by the emails that I have responded to personally, that many DOCTORS are the ones who aren't smart enough to not only do a proper diagnosis in first place in SO many cases, but not smart enough to figure out which of their poisonous chemicals will help you without harming you. THAT IS NOT WHAT PEOPLE WANT FOR MEDICAL SERVICES, DRs!!!
The point I am trying to make here is this hemp oil curing cancer issue has been pushed before a courtroom on more than a few occasions and nothing has been done, nothing. The only thing that was a real victory here was the fact that Rick did not go to jail last year and Judge Felix Cacchione said very clearly,
(Exerpted from The Chronicle Herald, Halifax, NS -By TOM McCOAG)
["Mr. Simpson’s actions were entirely altruistic," the judge said. "There was nothing insidious in what Mr. Simpson did."
He acted out of a strongly held belief in the medicinal value of marijuana and a steadfast conviction that the hemp oil he made was helping people alleviate their suffering from a variety of ailments that prescription drugs were having little impact upon, the judge said.]
Not only that, but Cacchione said there was overwhelming evidence that marijuana cures cancers and various other illnesses, the very evidence you nay-sayers are disputing released Rick from potential jail time.
How powerless would YOU feel if you were telling the truth and it didn't matter to anyone? I think we have all been there in our lives to some degree at one point or another. How did you perceive the people who wanted to persecute you? Did you trust them???
Now that things are finally coming to light publicly somewhat, people like you come to a forum without the facts and dog a person as if you have any idea what they are about and who they are personally. Rick Simpson is a hero and he is my personal friend, and I have seen the things he has told people, and I have been fortunate enough to meet the courageous people who cured themselves (not to mention that I cured myself with hemp oil from excruciating chronic back pain), and some of the people here are terrified of the law the way they hover over backyards of innocent people with police helicoptors performing illegal scare tactics just meters from people's homes in the summertime. The cops tried so hard to freak people out with their shock and awe campaign here they ran a police van off the road in Rick's village of Maccan, driving through it like the massive idiots they are a couple years ago.
So tell me, all you people who think you are so enlightened on the subject... who do you tell when no one will listen??? How are people healing themselves with hemp oil if this is all a fraud??? Why is it in major hemp magazines now (the ones that people actually trust because they print the truth when it comes up)??? Has everyone gone hemp mad here or what? How do you protect people who have no protection yourself?
To Rick's supporters, or to anyone new to all of this, don't take our word for it. I wouldn't take someone's word for it either and I didn't take Rick's word for it at all, I saw it for myself before my eyes were open and that is why I believe you need to see this for yourself.
Make the medicine for yourself and see it work, or share it with someone who has skin cancer or dire pain. Disprove it to yourself before you take the word of a blathering blowhard on a website.
Don't take the word of any person who is overly passionate on the topic either way, just go see for yourself. How can that be a fraud?
If we are frauds, please let me point out that we don't sell anything, the information, the videos, the recipe, the message, is all free. Our website is run by some amazing people, and they have donated a lot of their server time and money to these issues... but big waves cannot be made globally without some type of overhead. If we didn't need donations to push this effort forward we would not ask for them. We went a long time before asking for donations. Rick gave his life-savings away in hemp oil to cure people. If you did that, please take the floor.
Many very good people realize that we don't own a magazine company (and we never sold seeds to Americans to make inordinate sums of money). We simply don't have an overhead to work with without support... so I guess you could say we are just good modest people trying to help the world with spit and bailing wire over here - working with what we have to work with and knowing how important the work is. No one has ever gotten paid for their involvement in work related to Phoenix Tears... if you did that, please take the floor.
Allow me to point out that it would take far less time for you 'pharmacy' types to prove that this is a fraud than it would for you to balk on and on about the issue on the internet. But yet here you still you sit, and still you balk - claiming that there is no scientific evidence and yadda yadda yadda. Well change that old record will ya? Meanwhile we are still helping people to learn how to heal themselves (which people are doing daily) and you are doing your very best to call it out as a fraud. Do the world a favor will you? Go get paid by whoever bankrolls your bullsh** and put your money where your mouth is, because this nonsense you are spewing is now only working on people who haven't yet removed the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers from their brains, or from their wallets. This will not be silenced. The truth will set everyone free.
Good day to all of you on the forum, and please let me leave you with a quote.
"Walk far from cynics and whiners. They don't believe, they never have."
Best of health and happiness to you all.

gave away life savings
i live near rick simpson and he drives a 50 thousand dollar truck and owns properties including 1500 acre country of his own . seems hes doing allright! W WHO SK TH TRUTH AR WAITING MR SIMPSON!!!
maccaner comments very personal in nature
Your writings about Rick Simpson all have a very distinct flavor of a personal vendetta against him, they don't even sound like they are coming from someone with an education of any kind. If anything you are damaging yourself, not Rick.
donations
i would like to agree with the maccaner if i owned a 50 thousand dollar truck and 1500 acres i would not be asking people to donate money as it seems mr simpson has more money then a lot of people including me!i still havent seen any names of people he cured can anyone suppy theses names and wat cancers they were cured of.i understand his father used the oil for over a year and it never worked!seems they waisted a lot of money!all he wants is proof is wat im getting from his or hers writing.it seems ur all one sided and wont listen .you must give people the proof and then they will listen.
Rick Simpson was "verified" by "science and medical bodies"
The below post with this title was meant as a reply to you and the one called FATIQUE as well. I would also like to mention that Mr.Simpson had patients and medical doctors of these patients ready to testify at his trail, but they were not allowed to testify because that charge was about possession and trafficking not whether he cured cancer or not. So what makes you think they would allow it this time? Would you come back knowing that the trail would allow no evidence from doctors or patients. I spoke to Mr.Simpson myself, I know he can be an ruff around the edges kind of guy but you sound like you did not do your homework before you had the oudacity to get a hold of the guy and demand proof.
Lucya Almeida
lets have the paitents and
lets have the paitents and doctors go to the media together and make their case out in the public.lets have them protest in public .where are all these people as mr simpson is in need of ther help!let the public see the proof .names cancers cured and follow ups documented .if you dont have that you have no proof!if you have no proof then jail is were mr simpson should be as he is endangering people lives!
Verification criterion
God's peace all:
My name is Alan-Bruce : of the Spencley family.
Marc, you asked for a phone# ... e-mail me at Freemanalan@rock.com and I will tell you in my own words of who to ask (my doctor) about my lung cancer ... I have felt the tumor shrink ... not after the Chemo-radio therapies ... no no no ... but weeks later ... after only a few grams of the theraputic dose.
When cancer hits someone you care about you will have a different attitude than this divisive crap you are spouting.
Best of luck in getting your personal problems resolved in the PUBLIC arena.
Take Care
Beware
Alan
Is your lung cancer eliminated?
And how do you discount the chemo-therapy as helping? What does your oncologist say?
And your snide remarks are unnecessarily hostile, both my Mother and Brother have had surgeries for cancer, Michelle Rainey has cancer, cancer is all around. What I am trying to get out of Rick Simpson's supporters is some verifiable proof of what they claim. So far, I don't see it anywhere. Rather than fight me and all the other journalists waiting for the same thing, get the proof out there in verifiable context.
When I ran the Iboga Therapy House, I had journalists with me whenever they wanted to see and interview patients and their history. Thats why you can see episodes about my Iboga Therapy House on CBC's NATIONAL and other media, because it was verifiable work.
What proof?
God's peace Mark and all:
I am not hostile to you ... just a bit abrasive when abraided.
If you want the proof come to Maccan or Midgic ... you will be shown affidavits from 40 people ready to undergo questioning on the witness stand ... the court donwanna hear.
The articles written by the authors in this and other magazine have seen enough evidence to satisfy thier criteria/criterion ... you donwanna hear.
The politicians make out like bandits from "Big Pharma" lobby bribes and all of them donwanna hear
I'm not going to repeat myself ... your question has ben answered elsewhere on this thread ... I won't post my doctors info either. Ask in the letter and I will supply the oncology info you saked me to provide you.
ooops!!!!
in a simple answer ... not gone completely yet but I have had less than 1/4 of the full course and alredy I can see improvement and NO it was months of static non-growth ... months later I started to take the essential oil extract and the response was immediate and obvious.
A lump in plain sight on my collar bone ... now it is hard for me to find it as it has receded and shrunk ... and don't you try and pull that rhetorical trick of asking how I know it wasn't the radio/chemo ... time months of no change ... modify one element ... change in tumor ... it is the science of observation ... the very BEST FORM of scientific inquiry.
I relly do wish you the best Marc but just because you chose to trust in what is a flawed process doesn't mean that we who would rather take care of our own needs are obliged to trust Babylon.
Take Care
Beware
Alan
And how does the Cannabis
And how does the Cannabis Medical Smokers know it gives them relief and such?
Doctors finally started listening to all the peoples positive stories.
So you had all this proof for that wonderful Iboga House, what should all of us whom have these life changing stories do?
Go get all the Evidence to make you beleive, to hell with that, Why don't you get off your butt and go and heal a person just topically.
I've seen videos of you completely covering your body in anointing Oil trying to discover answers, you thought maybe Jesus got high and wanted to see?
Well you were right but it was for different purposes then just a mind altering experience, It was also for the healing.
This coming from you all is very disheartening...
MARC EMERY
I really wish & hope that one day, you and all your cronies get terminal cancer, and experience the orthodox treatment provided by the medical communities, until you die, a painfull, and miserable death. Looks like thats the only way you will seek alternatives treatment. My wife tried and so far still alive, now a year after her death sentence from blast phase leukemia.
you felt the cancer tumor
you felt the cancer tumor shrink ROTFLMAO I bet you did.... I'm not saying Hash Oil (not hemp oil) their is no such thing when you make the oil from a hemp plant then call it that until then be honest and call it what it is HASH OIL!!! doesn't cure cancer I'm just saying evidence is either CAT scan or an MRI not you saying you felt a tumor shrink, It sounds like something a kid would say not knowing any better.
healer or dealer
my father paid mr .simpson 300 dollars for 5 grams of this oil and died anyway.he says 60 grams will heal you but my father ingested oil for over a year.yet all these people say he gave it away . i can give other names he also charged 300 for 5 grams.im sick of the lies.he did not invent grass oil and it was a great defense move(kept him out of jail lol) but enough is enough marc contact me please if you want the real story on mr. simpson or anyone else who wants the truth.for the other i have some fake buds from high times ill sell you LMFAO.
Sold vs Free
Are the same people who are saying it was free, the same people who are now helping Rick with (unverifiable) claims of it curing their cancer? I imagine there are people who would say pretty much anything in return for a bunch of free hash oil. The claims of a cure would then attract many people who are willing to pay. I hope that's not what's going on, but if your father had to pay Rick, then I wonder.
I read the recipe at Rick's website, and it is simply a way to make hash oil. I've read recipes for hash oil that look like the same thing to me. Probably a very good quality hash oil, since Rick makes a very strong and unadultrated product.
A year or so ago, I turned down a request to list Rick's website on my marijuana directory. It was a hard decision to make, since I do believe that there is a possibility that it may cure certain types of cancers. I turned it down though because there was no proof, and it was a claim of curing cancer that might give a cruel false hope to people who have cancer.
Despite the lack of proof though, if I ever got cancer, I would try the oil just in case. Couldn't hurt even if it's no cure, since the THC would be helpful in a palliative way.
sold vs free
yes money has exchanged hands and it is hash oil not hemp oil and now we need mr simpson to show the proof or people with cancer who dont take there doctors advice and dont get treatment will not suffer,so why hide in europe if you have the proof??hes all about publicity and getting know if he cured 2500 people why did he only raise 2900 dollars for cross country tour? you wuold think if somebody cured you of cancer for free you could donate more than a dollar 25.(2500 people 2900 dollars) NOW MR SIMPSON SHOW US THE PROOF!!!!!!!!
If Rick cured me
If Rick saved me from a fatal cancer with free hash oil, I would dedicate my fucking life to him. I'd work free for him, I'd donate huge amounts of as much money as I can.
I sure wouldn't send him a thank you note with a cheque for $1.25, the average that the alleged number of cured folks have donated.
He'd get birthday gifts from me, silly poems written while intensely high, it wouldn't stop. I might even offer him my first born.
But his lies change all that. If he charges money to some people, why are others saying it's free? Maybe for them it was free in return for publicly claiming Rick cured them?
Maybe even a few of the paying customers were cured, but we'll never know. Rick did not require anyone to show proof they had cancer, they just had to believe it. So, if a benign boob cyst goes away on its own, has cancer been cured?
Rick's alleged success rate of 70% cures sounds very rounded off. There is no list comparing which cancers were successful and which types weren't. No important documentation available.
Rick Simpson was "verified" by "science and medical bodies"
Mr.Rick Simpson has shown such courage and now he can't even return to his own country. He was on a speaking tour in Europe. I spoke to him personally about coming out to Toronto for a talk back in the summer before he left. This article makes the mistake of saying Mr.Simpson's " extraordinary claims have yet to be verified by any scientific or medical body" and that he had traveled to Europe just to accept the Freedom Fighter of the Year award. He was there mainly for a speaking tour. Jack Herer was to be going with him and has posted his support for Mr.Simpson on the net for all to see. ( but then Jack had the heart attack and could not go). He was also to be joined on his speaking tour by Dr.Mechoulam of the Weizman Institute of Israel. Dr Mechoulam has proven that brain tumour cells are killed by THC molecules just check out the link . He was also the one responsible for isolating the THC molecules back in1964 along with two other scientists.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OqSRfzqwWA&feature=related
The science has been there for decades.
Also there is a Doctor Malameade from the University of Colorodo who is probably the only professor to teach a course in the cannabinoid system of the body. He states that Mother's milk contains cannabinoids which calms the newborn of the trauma of birth, so the human body is born with cannabinoid receptors and that Marijuana has a few cannabinoids not just the well known THC. Dr. Malameade is broadcast on utube stating his support for Mr.Simpson's work . He also says he thinks Mr.Simpson is getting the amazing results he is getting with so many types of Cancers because the cannabinoid system in the body regulates inflamation in all the body systems. So Mr.Simpsons's claims are being recognized by leading edge science, it's just the rest of the medical community is ignoring this science because they just don't know, are corrupt or brainwashed; You know the type, the materialists that think if it's not made in a lab it's" hocus pocus".
Cancer is at an epidemic proportion. Right now the stats say one in two men will have cancer in their lifetime and one in 2.8 women. The Cancer Society itself has put out a statement saying that those numbers are expected to double by 2025. That means that they expect that most everyone will be dealing with cancer, that is nuts!, especially when not too long ago they were proclaiming that there was a cure just around the corner. Cancer has turned into an industry that is worth billions of dollars. They have been using the same protocol of what the alternative movement likes to call slash/poison/ burn for decades. In the late eighties there was a grass roots organization that were made up of people who had gone trough the system with cancer or who had lost loved ones to the system.( People Against Cancer) They put pressure on the government Office of Advanced Technology to look into alternative therapies to see which were worth looking into. That office came back 5 years later with a list of over 200 therapies. The National Cancer Institute refused! with hostility! You see the institute is full of board members that have huge conflicts of interest. Four presidents in a row of the NCI were CEO 's of Radiation Companies. The biggest contributor to the American Cancer Society is Imperial Chemical Industries.
" Conspicuously absent from the public relations campaign of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is any environmental and other avoidable causes of breast cancer. This is no accident. Zeneca Pharmaceuticals, a spin-off of Imperial Chemicals Industries, one of the world's largest manufacturers of chlorinated and other industrial chemicals , including those incriminated as causes of breast cancer, has been the sole multimillion-dollar funder of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month since it's inception in 1984. Zeneca is also the sole manufacturer of tamoxifen, the world's top-selling anticancer and breast cancer" prevention" drug, with $400 million in annual sales. (Studies have shown that this drug may cause cancer). Furthermore , Zeneca recently assumed direct management of 11 cancer centers in the US...... National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a masterful public relations coup for Zeneca, providing the company with valuable, if ill placed , good will from millions of American women."
from the University of Illinois Dr. Samuel Epstien from his book "Cancer-Gate"
The American Cancer Society holds $700 million in assets. The Canadian Institutions are not as blatant but they to me are just as bad if they are not criticizing the
ACS and incorporating what Dr.Epstien has been writing about for years,His main emphasis is on indentifing what the carcenigenics are and criticizing Industry as
well as the medical institutions for not educating the public, and I think the Canadian mainstream medical community and cancer institutions are just as hostile
toward
alternative therapies. Even with many cancers having a 3% recovery rate with chemo and radiation, they still continue with the same regime when
there are literally hundreds of alternatives. Statistics show that people who opt out of those main stream therapies and do nothing actually live longer. Surveys show that seven out of ten
oncologists would not take the protocol they themselves are forced to prescribe as it is illegal to use anything else for treating cancer. As far as I'm concerned it is like the title of Jack Herer 's book, the Emperor Wears No Clothes, the pharmaceutical companies are killing people with these outdated therapies because they are
literally making billions of dollars right before our eyes, people like FATIGUE who posted here are naive or just plain have not done the research. Like the wonderful activist and author Naomi Campbell says, it's like the abusive father syndrome where no one wants to admit daddy is abusive, some people can not
deal with the fact that the powers that be even in the medical community where they are supposed to be healing people ,not making record profits, are just plain
corrupt. We can thank the Rockerfellars for our pharmaceutically based medical system today. Back in the forties Mr.Rockefellar decided to get into the
pharmaceutical industry and since the Rockefellars like to dominate any Industry they are into he set out on his plan. He approached congress and convinced them that an association was required to regulate medicine, sounded like a good idea so the American Medical Association was born which to this day is still a private
institution. Rockefellar sent out his men to review all the medical schools in America. Any that did not drop courses in natural remedies, homeopathy etc. were not
given their credentials , by the late fifties half of the medical schools had to shut down and that is how our system, as the US affects everyone else , became
pharmaceutically based. Even the fact that pharmaceutical companies can make big profits by owning a patent for a number of years on a new drug is ethically
wrong. This has created an obvious bias that dominates our medical schools, doctors treatments and the mainstream population against any natural medicine.
The truth is I can tell you about many amazing therapies that are being used with success, there is even a drug called DCA that can not have a patent because it has been around for so long. This drug has shown amazing results at the university of Alberta, .And still the powers that be are ignoring this huge breakthrough. check out this link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LXH-TJYS5w
but i feel that the marijuana oil is especially important because of the paradigm shift that would take place in many people's consciousness if only mainstream medicine finally called a press conference and told the world the truth, that a natural plant that anyone can grow in their backyard can cure cancer. We have been brain washed to think that cancer is a huge mystery, we can send a man to the moon but can not cure a mutating cell disease? Please boycott the Cancer Society and check out Rick's website so that you can write to your councilman , don't wait until you get cancer or worst your loved ones get it.
Don't ask Mr.Rackerfellar, he ain't such a nice old fella
Don't ask Mr.Rockerfellar cause he's gonna wanna sell ya
the Slash, poison and burn, slash pioson and burn .
Ask Mr. Simpson,m Couragous Mr. Simpson, he gave the oil way
And then they made him pay, Courageous Mr.Simpson,
hear what he has to say.

Peace, Lucya Almeida
Thank You!!
Thank you Lucya, you said it way better than I did. this person "Fatigues" is some kind of shill, or he has an axe to grind with Rick, or both. he doesn't know the facts, and he is full of slags against people who have stood up for cannabis. I looked up your link and it is totally on point. The haters of the world will always slag and spew. They did it to Marc, they do it to Rick, etc. Thank you for setting the record right!! I have had friends die from chemo, not cancer. The cancer surgery and drugs industry is all about $$$$.
These comments praising Rick Simpson
are evasive about verification. Where are these cured patients? Can we hear from them? Can we interview them? Can we see their history of cancer documentation? Can we see where their oncologist has cleared them of any cancers being detected? No we can't. Every request for years has been rebuffed. No evidence that can be shown. Bizarre requests for $300,000 for a "tour" of unscientific claims without any research despite the claim of "2,500" people treated.
When I ran an addiction clinic, I kept extensive notes, I was able to treat 65 patients in two years, as each patient stayed with me for 3 - 10 days. We recorded, we kept notes, we followed up, we let the media interview our patients, we had other doctors who could verify our work. Our patients were required, in exchange for the free treatment, to give interviews whenever asked, in order to promote the ibogaine treatment for stopping drug addiction to the world.
The Rick Simpson advocates behave like true believers, a religion, without demanding verification. When I was on-tour, I prefaced my 2 hour marathon speech with " all the facts I am presenting to you are true. Every one can be verified. I encourage you to do so and if you find anything I say uncorroborated, please inform me." So when I said "you'll never get Alzheimer's if you smoke cannabis every day after age 52, that there is no coroner's report of Alzheimers happening to any pot smoker and that there are at least 10 studies showing cannabis retards Alzheimers", this is all found conclusively on researching the claims.
--- Marc Emery
Think
God's peace all:
two cases:
1) Rick Simpson has a flawed premis/datum/result
analysis:
no criticism needed ... armies of people attest that they did NOT find remedy.
Simple and easy.
2) Rick Simpson has NOT got a flawed process/product/result
analysis:
called on to prove a negative ... debated ... insulted ... armies of attestation as to effectiveness ignored ... due process called upon to save the day ... at this rate the NWO can sit back and let the sniping destroy the cure.
Wake up ... divisivness is harmful to unity ... by definition.
Best of luck in court

If you want the proof, why don't you simply make the OIL and see what it does topically.
Go try it on skin Cancers AND Diabetic Ulcers, Infect topical Ulcers or cuts.
NO PENICILLIN OR ANTIBIOTICS!
JUST PUT THE DAMN OIL ON!
I HAVE SUPPORTED MARC for every year you gave me a voice of reason when I heard of this man going City to City shouting their is no law for a certain amount of Cannabis, I'm going to tell everyone and he even went to jail for it.
Their is to much animosity and it is being perpetrated by some people here who are not with us and pretend to be.
I always looked at you Marc as our Voice In Canada that saturated a great movement BECASUE He would go to jail, like Gandhi and promote non violence means, that we shouldn't be fearful hiding who we are for fear of reprisal from neighbors or companies we work for.
He made it happen becasue he is gifted with his incredible memory of facts.
Some of us have to work with what GOD gave us, everyone's strengths are different.
He will always be a HERO for our Country but why is it NOT ROOM FOR 2 HERO'S!
I KNOW he is an amazing Person trying to make change and can out speak anyone with your available knowledge BUT
RICK SIMPSON IS ALSO A HERO!
Why do you not test Ricks words yourself instead of waiting for a Government whom just been telling you, "This is your Brains on Drugs."
Where is the logic in that?
Instead of giving that woman a Vaporizer to see her evicted and pass away unfairly you could have asked her permission and HEALED her with the OIL testing it and becoming a believer and shouting louder then anything.
He saved my life from eternal life suffering and my family from having to see it, I have a website dedicated to the healing that I'VE SEEN!
You cannot be that naive that you spent a lifetime shouting at Government and seeing the healing it could do just smoking; do you not Know what it does when eaten?
That the problem you are waiting for the Government to say, "Hey It's True; it can cure Cancer."
That's just silly, take the reins, learn the truth and become one.
THEY WANT YOU TO FIGHT!
THEY WIN WHEN WE FIGHT!
Stop the fighting and find out the truth then you can say, I KNOW RICK LIES but we already know it WILL be the opposite and you WILL join the cause making it greater than any movement ever.
He did give hundreds of thousands, if not over a million in medicine freely; like Marc gave his life and money for his cause.
Seems silly to let them divide us and even sillier that Marc would lead the charge against something he hasn't even found out for himself.
I'm sick of people fighting without ever finding out for themselves.

Libel and slanderous allegations
God's peace all:
Fatigues ... On tne one hand you admit theraputic use of the kind herb and on the other you think it needs more research ... pick a position dude.
That is "have and eat" mentality.
Rick helps folks the system has abandoned ... I had the chemotherapy ... I had the radiation bombardment ... enough to knock my hair out.
The best they could offer was that the tumor seemd to have "stopped growing larger" ... But I coud still see it under my collar bone.
A few weeks later I met Rick, and he helped me to get on the oil and refused money as I am not able to gather much cash in my condition.
Now the tumor has shrunk and I have not even had the full course of 60 g. of course the "snake oil" works.
Not every "snakeoil salesman" was selling useless products ... some of them were selling this panacea.
Rather than hurtling invective ... argue Ricks words with facts ... if you can't do more research.
Do you think Mary Jane becomes medicine when a permit is issued ... it's magic on which only the Government has a monopoly ... it's MAGIC.
See what I mean?
On that note ... If you can help with a few spare dollars to help in Rick's defense ... visit Phoenixtears dot ca and do the right thing.

Ricks rediscorvered Cure changed my life.
Fatigues, I never thought I'd say this to another Believer in legalization but you don't know shit!
My freind, I may not as of yet be able to verify Rick Simpson's claims about the oil for Cancer and Diabetes but I know I was sick for a very long time and progressivly getting worse.
After 10 years of pharaco medicine's for raging hemorrhoids and I.B.S. which I was suffering so bad at the end my legs would be falling to sleep waiting for a bowel movement, I would spend more time on the can either horrible diarrhea and cramps so bad it sounded like I was dying or constipation so bad I would ache all over inside from FULL bowels.
My Intestines would be full I was LIVING on Metamucil and other pills and they were not working anymore.
When I did have a bowel movement it was full of WHITE PUSS and BLOOD constantly.
My kids thought I was going to end up like other members of family, I've had 4 members get Cancer and one survive in the last 10 years.
Obesity THRIVES in my genetics and the only thing kept me from topping 350 lbs like cousins was smoking it, smoking it and I was 100 lbs lighter and healthier. BUT
When I ATE IT, MY WHOLE LIFE CHANGED, NO MORE HEMORRHOIDS, NO MORE CREAMS or PILLS WITH SIDE EFFECTS..
I stared losing weight in such a healthy way, no shakes and sickness when my sugar would go low from not eating..I HAD THE GREATEST SHIT IN MY LIFE! well at least in 10-15 years on the third day of treatment and any residual effects from Flu's and such is so mild and noting has gone back like these days.
I ONLY had a QuarterPound OF GREAT BUD and a freind made the oil for me and it latest about 2 weeks but it did change my life and that was a little over 6 months ago.
I'm HEALED!
I have used it on MANY, MANY things topically as well.
The healing rate is incredible and you won't need antibiotics at all.
My wife went to the Doctor for a cyst under the skin the size of a grape and infected bad.
He gave her a prescription but she decided to tr the Oil mixed with Cold pressed Olive Oil.
In 2-3 days it had shrunk to the size of a pea and in 4-5 days nothing could be felt.
I have used it on my Granddaughter's infected ear from a ear piercing, the quickness and pain relief is amazing, the little baby stopped crying immediately on topical and the crust fell of in a couple hours and the skin healed in a couple days.
The list is growing..
Arthritis, burns (immediate pain free action),
infections of all, abscess, toothaches, cramps, diarrhea, I.B.S., cuts, scars fade, a dear childhood freind had a massive heart attack giving him 24 hours they flew him to the Edmonton hospital Royal Alexander and for days I went in and gave him LARGE doses and he swears that is why he's here today.
These are things I can say I've seen but I've not had enough for Cancer.
For what I've seen, I beleive it cures Cancers and Diabetes.
Bless the Great Creator maybe my Wife and 3 Children and 4 soon 5 Grandchildren will see me make it to a proper OLD age becasue they need me and I NEED THEM.
Thank you, RICK SIMPSON AND GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!!!!!

sickened by fatigues's & Marc's comments
Fatigues;I do not know Rick personally, but do live in his area & have talked to some of his supporters & reviewed the brochures & video's. I DO KNOW some of his "patients". Rick is anything but a fraudster & you sir have your head up your ass way too far. You can be sure these people were actually diagnosed as having cancer & then becoming well enough that the docs are beyond any explanation how they got that way. As someone else stated, there were "patients" AND DOCTORS wanting to testify at Rick's last trial, but were not allowed to do so.
Marc; I admire you for many reasons, but taking shots at a fellow warrior who will never seek the millions you have already made from us is not going to bring you any new supporters. He wants to cure us of our ailments & show the world that it can be done without making somebody else rich. You just seem to want us to get high. His cause will always be more accepted. Your showboating rubbed the wrong people, now where are you?
Idiocy
Pretty interesting the mainstream labs refuse to do clinical studies to even attempt to verify or deny his claims.
as far as endangering the lives of people talk to some success stories. Bet they will debate strongly with you that "knows" nothing!
I guess you would opt for the detrimental poisonous chemical injections and radiation for cancer treatment as opposed to non invasive natural methods. Oh yes and of course lets not forget the cost of these wonderful poisons. Like %83,000 a dose!! This is a fact my best friends wife experienced this summer. Who can afford that with out insurance?
idiocy?
wow som scary things ur sayn there and i guess a man as highly educated as rick(eighth grade) would be the one able to tell people with theses life taking diseases wat to do.are you really serious???even more scary than them poisons is the lack of regard for human life on mr simpsons part.scare tactics will not work because people are more educated today and know doctors maybe dont know it all but that they know more than mr simpson . who do i trust doctor or dealer?i trust my doctor(sorry dealer)AND I WOULD LIKE EVERYBODY WHO READS THIS TO VOTE! VOTE NOW DOCTOR OR DEALER!WE WHO SEEK THE TRUTH ARE WAITING MR SIMPSON!!!!!!!!
My Vote
For cancer diagnosis / discussion of treatment options, I would go to my doctor.
( )Dealer
(X)Doctor
If I ever got a doctor's cancer diagnosis, and was looking for some strong hash oil to help palliatively (NOT expecting a full cure from it), I would go to my dealer.
(X)Dealer
( )Doctor
thanks Government Boy. The
thanks Government Boy. The only bullshit around here is coming from you.
* above comment was intended
* above comment was intended for 'fatigues' here.
he/she/it sounds like a plant.
Fatigues reeks of BS
Fatigues, you couldn't have it more wrong. Which is so funny since you can't shut up about things you know nothing about. That, and that alone, is called BS, and you reek of it.
Cool video
Cool to see Remo from Urban Grower interviewing the Freedom Fighter of the Year. Hope the stupid Canadian government doesn't turn Rick into a fugitive from his own country. Also a shout out to you peoples that Advanced Nutrients is the only company that makes fertilizers and equipment specifically for marijuana and Remo talks about that on his show the Urban Gardener if you want to check that out. The known fact is that Advanced Nutrients will make your crops more weighty and more stick. Two of my heroes- R & R, Rick and Remo.
Heartbreaking
This really breaks my heart. The man is out there, healing sick people, saving lives, trying to do some good in the world and he's treated like a crack dealer. This is the saddest thing I've ever heard.
Rick Simpson is being treated like any other Canadian without an
MMAR exemption. He hasn't established that what he is doing is for what he claims. Being a pioneer in a field requires more than just lofty claims with a cavalier disregard for verification.
Where are all his "cured" patients? Why aren't they going to the media to profess "Rick Simpson saved my life and I can prove it"?
Until that starts happening, these claims by supporters of Rick Simpson's cannot be taken seriously.
--Marc Emery
Please stop fighting!!
Really and how many years went by that people whom SCREAMED ALOUD that just SMOKING made their lives bearable and sometimes normal.
How many years went by until we finally started the Cannabis Medical usage legally.
Why is it so hard to just make it and go and find out for yourself, groups of dying people had to get together and shout out WHY Cannabis smoking made their lives better and why they should have the right.
NOW YOU SAY the THINGS!
Why are YOU WAITING, YOU ARE THE GREAT MARC EMERY WHOM EVERYONE SUPPORTS!!!!!!
Sorry..
Make the Oil and stop making yourselves look so silly, I LOVE YOU BOTH!
But
PLEASE, try it topically on someone with skin cancer.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Covey69
Not everybody is a politician and a lawyer
Marc, not everyone is brave enough or smart enough to stand up in court. especially when your dealing with something illegal. Do you think those cancer patients have the courage to stand up and fight in court when they are dying and ill?... uh probably not.... and thats the same thing with rick simpson.. the man is sick for crying out loud... all he wants to do is make medicine and "cure" people. why would he lie about that??.... Freeman alan is making alot of sense. These politicians/lawyers/judges dont give a sh*t what you say or prove to them. Theyre just gonna say "we dont care", "you broke the law" "your guilty"...... Thats why hes fighting it the best way that he can....
on the other hand, your a different person than rick. You know your way around the law and stuff like that and thats good for you. You fight them that way.... but to criticize another brother fighting the same cause? cmon marc.. you should know better than that....
good luck
peace and god bless
Rick did fight, twice!
I would just like to say anyone who did do a little research of Rick would know that he did fight in court and actually thought with all the available evidence it would be a cake walk and the truth would come out about how much healing is in it.
Instead they refused everything and should you feel doubtful on any evidence that would make you feel better, question and
Ask why did he NOT go to jail for a LONG time.
He had kilo's of Oil and thousands of plants and was caught twice, how many people in B.C. are getting off with a small fine and no time, twice?
If it happens often, well that's why the laws are changing and Bill C-15 but I beleive these laws Bill C-15 are unjustly being pushed upon us after being squashed as another Bill at one time is becasue of Rick Oil.
Bill C-6 also gives us more freedom in healing choices taken away.
They are doing everything they can buying everyone they can to make this problem go away, the problem is some of us are also willing to go to jail finding out the truth.
Marc you're going away for a long time and Rick is staying for who knows how long that leaves, WHO?
Bless You,
http://www.youtube.com/user/Covey69
Look at the Evidence!
I don't see why people are having so much trouble believing this. Let me tell you the evidence I have come across. I have talked to about a dozen people personally who have seen this oil work. I've seen it work with my own eyes, healing skin infections that the most powerful pharmaceuticals could not.
I've also spoken to several other people who distribute Rick's oil and have seen it cure cancer. This includes Roland A. Duby (not sure if I should use his real name here), Sam Wayne Smith, and the Liberty Bell Temple in California. Marc, Richard Brumfield claims his medicine can cure cancer, and he is your personal friend. Multiple people have seen cannabis achieve these results.
Do you guys realize that Rick Simpson was arrested once, yet continued to give oil away for free, and then was arrested again! He risked 12 years in jail to give away something for free. Why would he do that if it wasn't working?
Rick's personal evidence, combined with the testimony of other distributors and individual patients, along with the dozen or so studies showing THC and CBD kill cancer cells, I just don't see why this is still so hard to believe.
And I don't see why the people against this cannot make the oil and test it! I know you have the capability to do this Marc, and your involvement could literally save the world. Out of all the things you can do, the best thing you could do for humanity is to make the oil and see it work yourself I've seen the oil work, I know it works. Once you see it, all of the bullshit these dissenters are spouting is revealed to be ridiculous.
a place to stay?
The SIX NATIONS offers to Mr. Simpson a place to stay. If they come for you, what a better thing, to start clearing our lands than to protect a holy man, who only follows THE MOTHERS WAY?.You who calls themselfs the crown, you have one year to leave our lands.LEAVE! were you are NO longer welcome, in OUR HOUSE! Leave!The way Mr. Simpson uses medicine is our ways nonthing new. Mr. Simpson we of the NATIONS, Welcome you always.Oneion
In fighting? WTH?
To all on this board, becareful with all this infighting! This is what these prohibitionists pigs want ALL of us to do, fight each other not them. Looks to me your all falling for it !
Who cares whether RICK or MARC are right! We cant even get the Governments(US/Canada) Out of the way so we CAN find the truth!
So Knock it off for gods sakes!
United we stand, divided we fall PEOPLE!
Nicely said my freind I hope
Nicely said my freind
I hope the heed your advice
We all from this perspective can see you are exactly right.
Thank you
Thank you. I do not want these prohibs to cause us to fight amounst ourselves. Its a millitary tactic that must be watched for.
This war on people must end.
Please agree to disagree and remember who the enemy really is.
Peace is preferable
It is good to see some comments that say better what I was trying to say. I did some research and I find that Dr. Grinspoon is a long-time fighter for cannabis, and i commend him for that. so is Marc Emery, Rick Simpson, Remo, Steve Hagar & etc. Many of the people in this thread who appear to be arguing with each other or dissing each other are all cannabis heroes!!! So that is what I was trying to say... Why slag each other in public is what I was trying to say. It may well be that Rick needs to listen to Dr. Grinspoon and be more careful in his claims. Or this or that. But the smart way to do these things is not to go on a public forum and slag people like the commenter "Fatigues" did. He slagged Rick, High Times, Steve Hagar. That does not help our movement. Everyone who cares about marijuana legalization should keep such disagreements private and approach the individual in a discrete manner. it is not good when the leaders of our movement are bickering publicly. Marc is out of jail on bail which is a super wonderful thing for him and his wife. we should all be celebrating that. We should reserve our slagging, if we have to slag at all, for the drug warriors like Harper. Let's have peace in our community. Let's not use vicious words against each other, especially in public forums!:)
Thank you
When I came on here and seen this infighting I was appalled.
I was hoping a little words of wisdom would calm the fires and bring a bit of needed common sense.
Know your enemy is a millitary tactic. They know us, they will try to divid us.
Know your self too.
Peace,
R.O.E.
CLASS ACTION APPLICATION
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Grassroots Hemp Movement Swells Behind Canadian, Rick Simpson
December 7th, 2009 - Ingersoll, Ontario, CANADA
One of humanity’s most celebrated medicinal hemp advocates has been made a political refugee by the RCMP, while he and his supporters gathered in Europe where he accepted the 2009 “Freedom Fighter of the Year” award, inflaming (and uniting) medicinal hemp supporters globally, who are rising to stand against medicinal hemp prohibition.
Who is Rick Simpson?
Since releasing “Run From the Cure: The Rick Simpson Story” Rick Simpson’s medicinal hemp videos have been viewed millions of times by people from around the world who remain captivated by this down-to-earth, all-Canadian folk hero from Nova Scotia who claims to have found a cure / control for cancer, diabetes, eczema, burns, scars, glaucoma, skin conditions, infections, chronic pain, ulcers, warts, moles, migraines, anxiety, arthritis, asthma, and insomnia, as well as a nutritious weight regulator that protects against Alzheimer's and rejuvenates vital organs including brain tissue—all with a non-toxic herbal extract made from medicinal hemp.
Quoting research from The Seth Group, (who’s famous video depicting the 20 hour time-lapse microscopic killing of cancerous cells with hemp extract in human brain tissue has been extensively viewed and shared on you-tube) among volumes of others, Rick Simpson claims that this oil, which is rich in THC, simply prevents harmful cell mutations in not only himself, but in virtually everybody who he has ever made contact with. Although this claim is supported by mounting data and studies, and although medicinal hemp is clearly both non-toxic and non-lethal at any dosage level, Canada’s depraved hemp prohibition scheme prevents Rick Simpson from healing his sick followers lawfully.
Rick Simpson has been arrested and convicted twice in recent years acting to treat and heal himself and others. Now his house has been again raided and is at risk of seizure, and Mr. Simpson, the freedom fighter, and the world's leading, and most recognized and respected engineer of this miraculous oil, has been made a homeless refugee in Europe. The depraved state has again left our society's most sick and fragile to suffer, deprived of life-giving medicine which everyone with common sense now agrees appears to work while being non-toxic, non-lethal, non-addictive, and yes, even healthy.
After openly and candidly healing the sick (free of charge), with medicinal hemp oil since his last trial and conviction, Rick Simpson is once again a wanted man, according to Tim Hunter of the Amherst, Nova Scotia RCMP detachment. All Hunter will say is that RCMP would like talk to Mr. Simpson about what they still call refuse to call hemp, and Mr. Simpson is told that the RCMP not only raided his house, but also removed all of the medicine from his property.
“If I return home, I will be arrested and put in jail without bail or medicine.” says Simpson in an e-mail sent to his friends this week.
“It seems the goal is to keep me from returning home and they succeeded. But to what end? All hemp magazines on this planet are now telling their readers how to heal themselves with this wonderful medicine. If governments want to live in denial, it will be short-lived. We are gaining tens of thousands of followers every day. You cannot stop the truth.”
Rick West, owner of Highly Recommended Plus, Ontario’s largest licensed medicinal hemp grower is no stranger to what he describes as the state’s intimidation tactics against often terminally-ill medicinal hemp users. His commercial greenhouses were also recently raided in Norfolk County, Ontario. Although charges have yet to be laid, West describes a perversely systemic and widespread culture of intimidation, opposition and opposition from law enforcement, the medical establishment, and Health Canada.
According to West, his clients have been “fired” by their family doctor merely for asking about hemp medicine. In extremely rare circumstances where his clients eventually succeed in convincing a doctor to prescribe medicinal hemp, he describes examples of federal bureaucrats having harassed family doctors at their offices with repeated telephone calls and official-looking correspondence and extra paperwork questioning everything from dosages to diagnosis and treatment decisions creating a logistical and institutional nightmare which can threaten everything from a doctor's insurance, to his or her license to practice medicine.
Meanwhile, West points to clients who have been negligently and sadistically over-prescribed bizarre, highly-addictive, dangerous (even lethal in many instances), opiate-based chemical cocktails marketed legally as Oxi-Contin, for example. This particular drug, although attributed to more deaths (including liver failure, suicides, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis etc.) since it's advent a few years ago, than recorded as attributed to hemp over hundreds of years. Although the makers have recently been convicted in the United States for wrongdoing, restitution by way of fines totaling hundreds of millions of dollars has enabled the drug to have been supplied without interruption to millions of addicted users each month with virtually no federal regulation or control measures prohibiting or restricting access to addicts.
West is one of approximately 3,000 people in Canada licensed by Health Canada to grow medicinal hemp. They supply nearly 5,000 sick people who are authorized to possess “dried marijuana” pursuant to an increasingly back-logged and dysfunctional federal scheme where the life-saving topical hemp oil produced by Rick Simpson is strictly forbidden.
This year’s raid was that last straw for West. Now he and a host of others are in the midst of a class-action application seeking judicial intervention in order to access to medical hemp where they plan to seek exceptions from marijuana prohibition and prosecution for medicinal purposes. The souring of doctor-patient relationships, and unequal access to medicine will be addressed in the action by those who feel increasingly deprived of life-saving treatment.
Jason Bowman, West’s spokesperson, and founder of a Canadian hemp-awareness movement called “Thyme for Hemp” supports Rick Simpson and agrees with his short-lived prohibition prediction. He has recently formed websites and a Facebook group dedicated to awareness and reform and is coordinating the class-action from Ingersoll, Ontario.
Bowman points to [R. v. Malmo-Levine; R. v. Caine, 2003 SCC 74, [2003] 3 S.C.R. 571] where the Supreme Court states that: “Canadian society is changing. Its knowledge base is growing, and its morals are evolving. Even if it was once the case, and in my view it never was, the prohibition against cannabis is no longer defensible. My analysis leads me to conclude that the little harm caused by marihuana casts doubt on the appropriateness of state intervention in this case. When I weigh the prohibition against, first, other available methods for countering the harm that marihuana use presents and, second, the problems caused by marihuana use, I must conclude that the legislation is inconsistent with the constitutional guarantee in s. 7 of the Charter.”
However, he also points to Hitzig v. Canada, 2003 CanLII 30796 (ON C.A.), (2003), 171 C.C.C. (3d) 18] where the Ontario Court of Appeal (when re-enacting the criminal prohibition of hemp) pointed out that: the federal medicinal access scheme set out in the regulations was “not a constitutionally acceptable medical exemption to the criminal prohibition against possession of marihuana.” He says “the court concluded that the scheme, as drafted by the Government, does not create a constitutionally acceptable medical exemption for patients with medical conditions for which marijuana has been prescribed. The court, however, fell short on declaring the prohibition of marihuana unconstitutional, striking alternatively, only five specific sections of the MMAR, thereby rendering constitutional, the medical exemption as described in the remaining provisions of the MMAR, and thereby rendering the possession prohibition in s. 4 of the CDSA constitutional.”
The key is that while at that time the court held that interests of justice are best served by removing any uncertainty as to the constitutionality of the possession prohibition while at the same time providing for a constitutionally acceptable medical exemption, the court also clearly pointed out that if future physician co-operation drops to the point that the state’s medical exemption scheme becomes ineffective, this conclusion might have to be revisited.
According to Simpson, West, Bowman and their growing hosts of supporters, that time has now come.

rick simpson 'run from the cure' and marc emery 'prince of pot'
i trust that marc and rick will join forces and change the world, from east coast to west coast. i know it is hard to find unity in this dirty war on drugs but, the prohibitionists must be laughing as they watch the cannabis / hemp movement split hairs. they have long confused us by making marijuana the devils weed and called us criminals who us this holy herb to enrich our lives...now is not the time to be divided, this is the time to encourage and support each other for the right to use cannabis/hemp as we see fit in freedom and peace and love... the people have been crying and trusting in politicians for too long without much success. look what the present canadian government is trying to make law ( bill c-15 )... their denial of the truth of cannabis/hemp medicinal and so many other properties will be held back for years to come... they cannot win so; now is the time for all cannabis /hemp lovers in canada and worldwide to unite and claim the peace and love we have been working for all these years... the old rule of divide and conquer is at play here and there is too much at stake for us to let the truth be denied... the seeds, the flowers, the leaves, the stalks and the roots of the various strains (genetics) of the cannabis / hemp plants are good for food, healing, clothing, fueling and so many other uses that research and developement will discover if it is set free (legalize, decriminalize and emancipated)... if you ask me; i dont need no more proof about cannabis / hemp because, apart from the enslavement of my people, this is the next great evil in my lifetime... i first learned the name hemp when i was a child now i am a man, i have read so much studies of so many terminology of this ancient plant and its uses but, i am not in denial i accept them all... there is still so much to learn about this great plant that sometimes i am dumfounded that it is still illegal... shame on our intelligence as humans so called caretaker of the planet!!!

The letter is on Part 2
It would be easy to prove the 'Cure'
With each of the hundreds of claimed cures, Rick should have done the following very easy steps.
1. Get patient to sign a release form, verifying the cancer, and giving permission to Rick to publish and/or use these as evidence where needed. Unfortunately, privacy would be given up, as the documents wouldn't be believed unless full names and contact info of patient and doctors are there. (probably should cover up signatures though)
2. Oil treatment.
3. Release form as above, this time to verify that the oncologist finds the patient to be cancer free.
Easy. If he had hundreds of these scanned documents on his website, he'd have a pretty solid leg to stand on, despite not having the usual peer reviewed lab studies, etc.
Unfortunately he didn't even require people to prove they had cancer.
Proof
High, Since it is "easy", I would like to invite you to be my intake specialist. I make and supply medicine to patients and would really like for someone to do just what you say. Let me have your name, snail mail addy, website and e-mail so I can share this with the patients who need treatment. Do YOU understand what is required legally for you do do this?? Oh, by the way, can you also arrange for quantitative and qualitative MS/GC testing so SOMEONE WILL KNOW WHAT IS IN THE MEDICINE. All the BS is making me want to puke.
I would, you know.
I would volunteer time as an 'intake specialist', you know. I would love to be part of something with as much potential as the oil. I'm not against it, nor do I believe or disbelieve that it works yet. I just really wish it had been documented properly.
With proper documentation, patterns might have emerged as well, showing which cancers responded better, etc. As for quantitative and qualitative MS/GC testing, I don't know enough about that. I'm just talking about doctor verification before/after records, which should have been required and kept all along.
I think you are just joking about healing people Rick-style, but if you had been serious, the documentation I refer to needs no special legal requirements. Release forms for medical info are a very routine thing. Most doctors keep copies of the blank form to sign right in their office.
A small problem though, is that the same documentation needed to prove the medical claims, would work against Rick if they were to be used as proof that he is both prescribing and is being an unlicensed provider of med pot.
Medicinal Cannabis, Cancer and Rick Simpson by Jeffrey Dach MD

Cannabis isnt bad for you.
You would think with all the evidents now that cannabis isnt the devil but maybe a saint of a sort, our governments(USA/CANADA) would get out of the way and let us live.
How greedy/evil/corrupt/just plain hard headed/obstenant are our governments that they would want to keep a cuer for cancer and various other ailments away from the people in their countries.
Is this a sign of where the world is going?
Just unbelieveable!
WE NEED REAL CHANGE!!
That is why I will say it OVER and OVER, AGAIN and AGAIN.
WE NEED DIRECT/PURE Democracy.
All the POWER to the PEOPLE!
They are in fear of this and if we want all the changes needed including Legalization, we need to change the massive easy access through commerce of elected CORRUPTION !
IF we stood with this, the people would VOTE THEIR OWN LAWS!
Are we as a consciousness evolving and growing and learning more truths everyday through this WONDERFUL Great Library that allows me to learn anything and everything to Shield myself with Knowledge, Knowledge only a few years ago would take hours and hours of pulling Book after Book but no longer, almost instant in many cases.
Anything with a click and I can gain the knowledge and voice my opinion and say to the medias Shove your lies, I beleive bless any person who believes no ones truth and searches for it themselves.
Cannabis users and non Cannabis users unite for a common cause, to force change through the masses of displeased people who want an Opportunity to guide their own lives through making our own laws chosen by the people instead of as usual the masses say NO and the small infinitesimal amount of bought elected people say, " You're fault, I know best and, You VOTED ME IN."
WHY DO WE ALLOW THIS CONTROL OVER ALL OF US STILL?
At one time it wasn't plausible becasue of technology not making it a reality for the to many people it would have been a daunting task to make a reality but NOW with a almost Autonomous Society we live in, we should be seeing the immorality of this and DEMAND CHANGE!
We are becoming more then what we were as a Loving Caring Consciousness becasue of more knowledge being shared, more truths they have trouble hiding.

rick's raid caught on video-please fw and link everywhere
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxXWl5ZsQCM
healer or dealer
how can anyone who charges 300 dollars a fiver of oil say hes giving it away????. did mr simpson invent grass oil i think not. he cme up with a good defense (KEPT HIM OUT OF JAIl lol).busted in 2005 but now to claim he invented or gave it away is a farce .i went out and bot oil for 250 an ounce and rick said it was the same so why 300 for five grams?? i know people who also paid rick for oil so why tell ur giving it away.and for all you simpson supporters i have some fake bud i got from HIGH TIMES ill sell ya.
Country within a country?
In the video, Rick's son tells the RCMP that his property is a 'country within a country'. Is he part of the Freemen cult? They believe they can declare a piece of land to be it's own country immune from Canada's laws. I've seen Freeman propaganda posts which for some unexplained reason included a quick off topic advertisement for Rick's oil.
So, I have to wonder, has Rick been suckered into the cult? They tell their members that will be immune to drug laws, when in fact they are not.
CULT
yeah he belongs to (MAKE UP A GOOD STORY CULT)and get out of jail but now people want the truth and its on the world stage so put up or shut up i say.SHOW THE PROOF NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Silly Freemen Cult
I seen four references now that indicate that Rick Simpson has been suckered into the Freeman Cult.

The American College of Physicians -on thc hemp oil
well here is more than enough proof
The American College of Physicians (ACP) issued a new policy statement last week endorsing medical marijuana use. The group is urging the government to reverse its ban on medical treatments using marijuana. "ACP encourages the use of non-smoked forms of THC (the main psychoactive element in marijuana) that have proven therapeutic value," the new policy statement said. The Philadelphia-based organization, the second largest doctors group in the United States, cited studies into marijuana’s medical applications such as treating severe weight loss associated with illnesses such as AIDS, and treating nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy for cancer patients.[i][i]
Medical marijuana is becoming more and more associated with anti-carcinogenic effects, which are responsible in preventing or delaying the development of cancer. This means that cannabinoids offer cancer patients a therapeutic option in the treatment of highly invasive cancers. Before we look at the hard medical science that sustains these statements go to http://www.youtube.com/chrychek to see a series of videos that will convince you of the validity of these statements on cancer. The American College of Physicians wants it made legal as do millions of other people. If you or one of your loved ones every get cancer you will be wishing that the government would begin to listen to this medical organization.
12 Million new cases of Cancer Diagnosed in 2007 in the US.
In addition Cancer also killed 8 million people worldwide in 2007
American Cancer Society
After reading the science and watching this video series I am certain that any sane person with cancer or any late stage chronic disease will want free and legal access to hemp oil with a maximum concentration of THC, the active ingredient that is illegal in most places in the world. [ii][ii]
The medical science is strongly in favor of THC laden hemp oil as a primary cancer therapy, not just in a supportive role to control the side effects of chemotherapy. The International Medical Verities Association is putting hemp oil on its cancer protocol. It is a prioritized protocol list whose top five items are magnesium chloride, iodine, selenium, Alpha Lipoic Acid and sodium bicarbonate. It makes perfect sense to drop hemp oil right into the middle of this nutritional crossfire of anti cancer medicines, which are all available without prescription.
Hemp oil has long been recognised as one of the most versatile and beneficial substances known to man. Derived from hemp seeds (a member of the achene family of fruits) it has been regarded as a superfood due to its high essential fatty acid content and the unique ratio of omega3 to omega6 and gamma linolenic acid (GLA) - 2:5:1. Hemp oil, is known to contain up to 5% of pure GLA, a much higher concentration than any other plant, even higher than spirulina. For thousands of years, the hemp plant has been used in elixirs and medicinal teas because of its healing properties and now medical science is zeroing in on the properties of its active substances.
Both the commercial legal type of hemp oil and the illegal THC laden hemp oil are one of the most power-packed protein sources available in the plant kingdom. Its oil can be used in many nutritional and transdermal applications. In other chapters in my Winning the War on Cancer book we will discuss in-depth about GLA and cancer and also the interesting work of Dr. Johanna Budwig. She uses flax seed oil instead of hemp oil to cure cancer - through effecting changes in cell walls - using these omega3 and omega6 laden medicinal oils.
Hemp oil can cheaply and effectively
deliver a knock out blow to ones cancer.
Actually there is another way to use medical marijuana without smoking the leaf. According to Dr. Tod H. Mikuriya, “The usual irritating and toxic breakdown products of burning utilized with smoking are totally avoided with vaporization. Extraction and inhaling cannabinoid essential oils below ignition temperature of both crude and refined cannabis products affords significant mitigation of irritation to the oral cavity, and tracheobronchial tree from pyrollytic breakdown products.[iii][iii]
Most evaluations place the hot air gun style
vaporizer above other methods.
Dr. Mikuriya continues saying “The usual irritating and toxic breakdown products of burning utilized with smoking are totally avoided with vaporization. Extraction and inhaling cannabinoid essential oils below ignition temperature of both crude and refined cannabis products affords significant mitigation of irritation to the oral cavity, and tracheobronchial tree from pyrollytic breakdown products.”[iv][iv]
Rick Simpson, the man in the above mentioned videos, has been making hemp oil and sharing it with friends and neighbors without charging for it. In small doses, he says, it makes you well without getting you high. "Well you can't deny your own eyes can you?" Simpson asks. "Here's someone dying of cancer and they're not dying anymore. I don't care if the medicine comes from a tomato plant, potato plant or a hemp plant, if the medicine is safe and helps and works, why not use it?" he asks.
When a person has cancer and is dying this question reaches a critical point. The bravery of Rick Simpson from Canada in showing us how to make hemp oil for ourselves offers many people a hope that should be increasingly appreciated as money dries up for expensive cancer treatments. We are going to need inexpensive medicines in the future and there is nothing better than the ones we can make reasonably cheaply ourselves.
For most people in the world it is illegal so the choice could come down to breaking the law or dying. There is no research to indicate what advantages oral use of hemp oil vs. vaporization but we can assume that advantage would be nutritional with oral intake. Dr. Budwig Below work would sustain this point of view especially for cancer patients.
The Science
According to Dr. Robert Ramer and Dr. Burkhard Hinz of the University of Rostock in Germany medical marijuana can be an effective treatment for cancer.[v][v] Their research was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute Advance Access on December 25th of 2007 in a paper entitled Inhibition of Cancer Cell Invasion by Cannabinoids via Increased Expression of Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinases-1.
The biggest contribution of this breakthrough discovery, is that the expression of TIMP-1 was shown to be stimulated by cannabinoid receptor activation and to mediate the anti-invasive effect of cannabinoids. Prior to now the cellular mechanisms underlying this effect were unclear and the relevance of the findings to the behavior of tumor cells in vivo remains to be determined.
Regulatory agencies unfortunately are
unresponsive to new scientific evidence.
Marijuana cuts lung cancer tumor growth in half, a 2007 Harvard Medical School study shows.[vi][vi] The active ingredient in marijuana cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread, say researchers at Harvard University who tested the chemical in both lab and mouse studies.
This is the first set of experiments to show that the compound, Delta-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), inhibits EGF-induced growth and migration in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expressing non-small cell lung cancer cell lines. Lung cancers that over-express EGFR are usually highly aggressive and resistant to chemotherapy. THC that targets cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 is similar in function to endocannabinoids, which are cannabinoids that are naturally produced in the body and activate these receptors.
"The beauty of this study is that we are showing that a substance of abuse, if used prudently, may offer a new road to therapy against lung cancer," said Anju Preet, Ph.D., a researcher in the Division of Experimental Medicine. Acting through cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, endocannabinoids (as well as THC) are thought to play a role in variety of biological functions, including pain and anxiety control, and inflammation.
Researchers reported in the August 15, 2004 issue of Cancer Research, the journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, that marijuana's constituents inhibited the spread of brain cancer in human tumor biopsies.[vii][vii] In a related development, a research team from the University of South Florida further noted that THC can also selectively inhibit the activation and replication of gamma herpes viruses. The viruses, which can lie dormant for years within white blood cells before becoming active and spreading to other cells, are thought to increase one's chances of developing cancers such as Kaposi's Sarcoma, Burkitt's lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease.[viii][viii]
In 1998, a research team at Madrid's Complutense University discovered that THC can selectively induce programmed cell death in brain tumor cells without negatively impacting surrounding healthy cells. Then in 2000, they reported in the journal Nature Medicine that injections of synthetic THC eradicated malignant gliomas (brain tumors) in one-third of treated rats, and prolonged life in another third by six weeks.[ix][ix]
Led by Dr. Manuel Guzman the Spanish team announced they had destroyed incurable brain cancer tumors in rats by injecting them with THC. They reported in the March 2002 issue of "Nature Medicine" that they injected the brains of 45 rats with cancer cells, producing tumors whose presence they confirmed through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). On the 12th day they injected 15 of the rats with THC and 15 with Win-55,212-2 a synthetic compound similar to THC.[x][x]
Researchers at the University of Milan in Naples, Italy, reported in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics that non-psychoactive compounds in marijuana inhibited the growth of glioma cells in a dose-dependent manner, and selectively targeted and killed malignant cells through apoptosis. “Non-psychoactive CBD produce[s] a significant anti-tumor activity both in vitro and in vivo, thus suggesting a possible application of CBD as an antineoplastic agent.”[xi][xi]
The first experiment documenting pot's anti-tumor effects took place in 1974 at the Medical College of Virginia at the behest of the U.S. government. The results of that study, reported in an Aug. 18, 1974, Washington Post newspaper feature, were that marijuana's psychoactive component, THC, "slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent."[xii][xii]
Funded by the National Institute of Health to find evidence that marijuana damages the immune system, found instead that THC slowed the growth of three kinds of cancer in mice -- lung and breast cancer, and a virus-induced leukemia. The DEA quickly shut down the Virginia study and all further cannabis/tumor research even though the researchers "found that THC slowed the growth of lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent."
"Antineoplastic Activity of Cannabinoids," an article in a 1975 Journal of the National Cancer Institute reports, "Lewis lung adenocarcinoma growth was retarded by the oral administration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabinol (CBN)" -- two types of cannabinoids, a family of active components in marijuana. "Mice treated for 20 consecutive days with THC and CBN had reduced primary tumor size."
Marijuana relieves pain that narcotics like morphine and OxyContin
have hardly any effect on, and could help ease suffering from
illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes and cancer.[xiii][xiii]
According to Devra Davis in her book Secret History of the War on Cancer, 1.5 million lives have been lost because Americans failed to act on existing knowledge about the environmental causes of cancer. It is impossible to calculate the added deaths from suppressed ‘cancer cures’ but we do know of the terrible suffering of hundreds of thousands of people who have been jailed for marijuana use.
Hemp oil with THC included has the making of a primary cancer treatment, which even alone seems to have a great chance of turning the tide against cancer tumors. It has the added advantage of safety, ease of use, lack of side effects and low cost if one makes it oneself. Surrounded by other medicinal anti-cancer substances in a full protocol it’s hard to imagine anyone failing and falling in their war on cancer.
THC should be included in every cancer protocol.
Sodium bicarbonate is another excellent anti tumor substance that reduces tumors but is much more difficult to administer than THC hemp oil. Cannabinoids are able to pass through all barriers in the body like Alpha Lipoic Acid so simple oral intake is sufficient. With bicarbonate we need intravenous applications and often even this is not sufficient, often we have to use catheters and few doctors in the world are willing to administer this way.
In the end all cancer treatments that are not promoted by mainstream oncology are illegal. No licensed doctor is going to claim that are curing cancer with sodium bicarbonate though they will treat people with cancer explaining they are balancing pH or some other metabolic profile with this common emergency room medicine found also most kitchens of the world. More than several states have passed laws making medical marijuana legal but the federal government will not relax and let people be free to choose their treatments even if their lives depend on it.
Davis notes that the cowardice of research scientists, who publish thoroughly referenced reports but pull their punches at the end, by claiming that more research needs to be done before action can be taken. Statements like these are exploited by industry that buys time to make much more money. It is a deliberate attempt that creates wholesale public doubt from small data gaps and remaining scientific uncertainties.
They have done that with everything right up to and including sunlight. Everything is thought to be dangerous except the pharmaceutical drugs which are the most dangerous substances of all. Stomach wrenching chemotherapy and the death principle of radiation are legal yet safe THC laden hemp oil is not.
It is legal for doctors to attack people with their poisons but you can go to jail for trying to save yourself or a loved one from cancer with the oil of a simple garden weed. Our civilization has put up with this insanity but there is a great price being paid. In a mad medical world people die that need not and this is a terrible sadness that has destroyed the integrity and ethics of modern medicine.
The science for the use of hemp oil is credible, specific fact-based, and is documented in detail.[xiv][xiv] There is absolutely no reason to not legalize medical marijuana and create an immediate production and distribution of THC hemp oil to cancer patients. Unfortunately we live in a world populated with governments and medical henchmen who would rather see people die cruel deaths then have access to a safe and effect cancer drug.
Meanwhile the Food and Drug Administration approved Genentech’s best-selling drug, Avastin, as a treatment for breast cancer, in a decision, according to the New York Times, “that appeared to lower the threshold somewhat for approval of certain cancer drugs. The big question was whether it was enough for a drug temporarily to stop cancer from worsening — as Avastin had done in a clinical trial — or was it necessary for a drug to enable patients to live longer, which Avastin had failed to do. Oncologists and patient advocates were divided, in part because of the drug’s sometimes severe side effects.”[xv][xv]
The differences between Avastin and hemp oil are huge. First Avastin will earn Genentech hundreds of millions where THC hemp oil will earn no one anything. Second there are no severe or even mild side effects to taking hemp oil and lastly it is not a temporary answer but a real solution. Certainly hemp oil will ensure a longer life.
Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico and recent candidate for president of the United States ordered the state Health Department in 2007 to resume planning of a medical marijuana program despite the agency's worries about possible federal prosecution. However, the governor stopped short of committing to implement a state-licensed production and distribution system for the drug because State employees could face federal prosecution for implementing the law, which took effect in July. Now that he is being pursued perhaps for the office of vice-president[xvi][xvi] things could get interesting on a federal level. We can only hope but for now to get THC hemp oil one would have to grow the plants and make the oil oneself. It is not too difficult to do it seems but it is not exactly the safest thing because of laws and the cooking off of the oils.

[ii][ii] The confusion and concern often arises due to the fact that hemp seed/oil is derived from the plant Cannabis sativa, which is often incorrectly linked to the psychoactive substance, marijuana. The psychoactive ingredient of marijuana is the chemical THC, however the quantities of THC in hemp oil are so small that they are regarded as insignificant. In fact, for commercial hemp oil products to comply with Government regulations, they must contain less than 10ppm THC, which is very, very little. However, in the majority of products absolutely none can be detected. It would be almost impossible for this level of THC intake to measure even close to illegal levels during a drug urine test.

want proof rick simpson cured somebody??
first admit its hash oil or grass oil not hemp oil!you site studies none by mr. simpson.and dr. lester grinspoon who you sited has sent aletter out sayn wat mr simpson is doing and saying is reckless and fraudulent and warns people to be wary.yes people are warming up to medical weed but it will have to be studied by professionals not somebody who has a grade 8 level of education. high times has its own adjenda (making money from selling fake weed)making rick freedom fighter of the year my vote was for marc emery the real hero of cannibis culture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so very glad everyone
I am so very glad everyone is ignoring these problem makers.
Ignore them, all they want is attention like I'm giving them now.
Eat it up little doggie....
eeeeehaaaaaa
Hey Maccaner!
How does it smell down there in Emery's butt crack? Maybe you should go to jail with him and keep on sniffin.
jail??????
it would be an honour to go to jail with marc, although i woodnt want anyone to go to jail not even you or mr simpson. im just looking for the truth! seems hard to find.again i caution people here.
Go read
Dr Lester Grinspoons letter in HIGH TIMES MAG and see for yourself!!
Well since I cured myself
Well since I cured myself with the oil and I am living life again without agony, I guess Grinspoon's letter doesn't mean half as much as the shit he squirted out while writing it. I'd be surprised if this Grinspoon actually does anything besides drink and beat his gay lover.
Glad to hear you were cured
Did an oncologist first diagnose you?
What kind of cancer did you have?
Did you have any traditional treatments as well?
Did you follow the oil treatment for the full 60 days?
After your cancer was gone, did your oncologise declare you cancer free?
If you were to be ok with a lessening of your personal privacy re the cancer, your documentation would go a long way in helping Rick.
on the subject of cancer
Recently, it has become increasingly obvious via "credible" scientific research studies done at dozens of medical research facilities that cannabis has been shown to undeniably effect, in a positive way, cancer cells.
This we can all agree on. I cannot understand Marc's negative attitude to Rick Simpson.
As for me, my mother is 73. On an occasion last summer she came to visit with her elderly friend. I was aware that this friend was a cancer survivor, and wanted to see her reaction to the subject of the oil. She quietly said, " that's what cured my cancer". I was shocked and asked her to tell me her story. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer, had chemo. The cancer got progressively worse and eventually spread to her stomach. The doctor told her there was nothing more they could do and sent her home to prepare for her death.
At that time, before Rick was arrested for the first time, her sister, after hearing about the oil, asked her to try it. She recieved it for free. The end result, 3 months into using the oil she was still alive and feeling well. A return visit to her oncologist revealed her tumors were shrinking. After six months and still no death, it was revealed her cancer was gone. Her doctor still refuses to accept it was the oil that "cured" her.
With the medical community not on board, and no way to actually "prove" why these cancers have disappeared all that is left is the word of the patients themselves. When Rick was in court and 6 doctors were called in to testify, all they would have been able to say realistically was that, Yes, these people had in fact been diagnosed with cancer, and that via diagnostic tests and xrays no longer had cancer. This evidence was not allowed. Would it have proven that the oil was responsible beyond a reasonable doubt? Absolutely not, but the fact remains that they are now cancer free. Would my mother's friend come foreward in defense of Rick? I am not sure. We still live in a society where this is ilegal, and fear rules the day.
You sound petty Marc. Not like the advocate we have all admired. I cannot believe that this retoric from you helps the cause. Of course it should be legal, and that is what you have advocated for your entire life, but to cast a shadow on Rick Simpson, at a time, when based on all the positive research concerning the effects of cannabinoids on treating cancer, how is this productive? If all of the research concerning canabis and cancer is true, than I guess Rick stumbled onto something years before anyone else. All the research is easily accessed via the world wide web. We do live in an access to information age. Google cannabis and cancer, and watch the screen fill with published research articles, done at respected universities and facilities. These are not "quacks". It is unjustified to portray Rick as an "odd" fellow. Maybe you have another motive. To get him to return and bring with his return media interest. Put cannabis in the spot light, and I agree it would be great if that would happen, but based on how he has been treated in the past, as a common drug dealer, do you really believe the spin would be any different this time? These very doctors, would rather label their patients "medical miracles", instead of showing a real interest in what caused their cancers to regress Effectively, the Harper government, upon taking office, suspended all research money concerning the medical benifits or lack thereof of cannabis.Those who have had success with this oil are not hard to find. I am sure that with just a little probing around the province of Nova Scotia, you could find and interview them all. It's like you are saying Mr Simpson is a lying fraud. Why not instead do your own investigating. Finding them would still prove nothing, as no one in the medical profession could conclude this to be the reason for their cure. It's hard enough just to try and get a doctor to approve cannabis as medicine for an exemption, and unfortunately most are unaware or uninterested in the lastest research. Stops prostate cancer cells in it's tracks, stops breast cancer cells from spreading, cuts lung cancer tumors by 50%. I need not mention the journals where these studies were reported as a previous post on this site has already done just that. So, you have done great things to bring awareness to the cannabis debate. Now support a friend who may be a little "odd", but who has also devoted an incredable amount of energy telling this story.
Emery's attitude toward Simpson Re:on the subject of cancer
Emery's attitude toward Simpson Re:on the subject of cancer
If I may interject, I believe it is clear within this forum what sparked Emery's outright rejection of Simpson's cause.
Allow me to explore this:
Marc Emery loves being the center of attention, so much so that he will jump into anyone else's spotlight to get the attention he wants. I think the posts within this forum are a very good indication of that very fact alone.
Emery has a following - to be sure - for being a Canadian advocate for marijuana/cannabis smokers... I am not knocking that at all, but is that really as monumental as curing cancer and then helping as many people as possible? I don't think so. Do you? Could jealousy be a factor here? Sure it could:
Q: Was Marc Emery in line for Freedom Fighter of the Year - for HIGH TIMES or otherwise? Ever???
A:Not that I know of.
One way for certain that Emery and Simpson differ is that Rick Simpson does not relish the spotlight at all the way Emery does. Rick is doing what he does because he feels in his heart that it is the right thing to do, and I haven't met a lot of people who differ on that position - that is unless they have something to lose by taking the wrong side.
Rick Simpson healed a man from Amherst, N.S. (Christian Laurette) who made Rick's documentary RUN FROM THE CURE for free - only because he was healed by the help oil from an excruciating back ache caused from scoliosis; and like Simpson, Laurette felt the need to contribute to the world only for the good of doing it, and not to make money from the sick and dying.
Rick Simpson gave away hemp oil for free for one reason; it was the right thing to do. Sure, some people had to pay money to get hemp oil, and it was only because they wanted it and Rick didn't have the raw plant material to produce oil for them, so those people basically paid for their own hemp at grower prices (willingly). Rick pocketed nothing from any of it, and in fact he spent his own money and time on the rest of the hemp oil production for those people, and again charged them nothing. The man simply never charged anyone, and under no circumstances would he put himself in a position for any financial gain whatsoever from any of this; Rick is just that kind of person. Good-hearted, and sincere.
Anyone who speaks about paying for hemp oil are all in the same category as above, they bought material at grower prices, and since the work was already done they made assumptions about it that are both misinformed and untrue (and those who make those kinds of statements are showing a high degree [no pun intended] of not only extreme ignorance to the situation, but the words ungrateful and pathetic come to mind also.
I don't know Marc Emery personally, but I don't think this matches with how Marc ran his seed company. Am I wrong? If I am wrong I am sure someone will waste no time with their retort. Meanwhile, if Emery made money with his efforts, he was running a business... while Rick's organization is entirely non-profit with no paid employees.
What Emery wants is the focus on him, clearly. What Simpson wants is for people to know how to heal themselves.
Emery is shouting "FREE ME!" while Simpson shouts "CURE YOURSELF!"
Emery is going to jail for selling seeds (mind you, for the most medicinal plant in the world - AND one that happens to cure cancer as well - this is sick in itself) and Emery missed that boat not only as a defence to his case, but also against all of the cancer patients and suffering people with hemp-treatable illnesses (readers of Cannabis Culture for instance) who unfortunately trusted that the editors of their Cannabis Culture magazine subscription would print the truth rather than purposely keep it from them to continue their own personal money making endeavors.
After all, if cannabis becomes legal the price will surely drop dramatically and then of course there is no more business for the Emerys, except for their new 'grandstanding' campaign to squash the truth about hemp medicine. And for that matter... who's even buying that?
Think about it.
truth
lets have the truth marc is the face of cannibis legalization globaly and its people like you that seem to be jealous that like to attack him to serve ur own pupose.watch marcs video on cbs he tells you how he gave 4 million dollars to the cause! rick simpson on the other hand looks for donations for money for wat???rick just got caught with 70 lbs of weed at 3600.00 a pound or 300 for five grams of oil as he says he gets 2 oz of oil per pound. hmmmmmmm giving it away i dont think so and its not hemp oil for gods sake tell the truth as it needs to come out its cannibis oil!it was only at the dieing wish from jack herer that high times did a story on mr simpson. i guess jacks in bad shape even tho hes been on the oil for over a year.marc will never be freedom fighter of the year as he is against high times selling fake weed on its site and steve knows this and now hes printing rick simpsons fake story so he will make money for his mag.again i say if rick cured 2500 people why did he only raise 2900.00 for his great croosscountry tour and why was he looking for 300000.00 dollars from marc???we will see in the future and i hope nobody goes to jail.i dont think attacking marc and jodie will help anyone do you?WE WHO SEEK THE TRUTH ARE WAITING MR SIMPSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STOP THE FIGHTING
I have for years shouted proudly about Marc, I recently is the last year I also shout loudly for Rick Simpson.
Marc began my path through shared knowledge and the work he did, if he hadn't done that honorable thing like going across Canada to show everyone there is no law for smoking Cannabis, I would never of hear of him.
Then later Rick came into the picture and the years and years of constant suffering and only getting worse was fixed in less then 2 weeks on the Oil.
I have been sick a very long time and Doctors gave me bandaid solutions or choice of Operations.
Thank God for Marc and his tenacity of getting out their and freeing people like me from my own mind prison and than Thank God for Rick Simpson for finishing the job so I can heal my body and then heart.
I'm very saddened when I see this dissension in the ranks of what should be Our Leaders.
Instead it's petty and selfishness that keeps this new war within started.
Ignore the assholes who are People paid to come here from fear of the Government to separate us.
Please for the love of GOD , STOP IT!
Bless you all.
What were you cured of?
What illness are you claiming was cured by the oil?
emery vs simpson
CONCLUSION, Emery wants to sell dope for the money, Simpson wants to sell dope for cure of humanity.
emery vs simpson
emery sells seeds and donates the money back to support legalization and simpson SELLS WEED and drives a 50 thousand dollar truck and owns multiple properties.marcs been fighting for 20 years for legaliztion ricks been fighting since his bust in 2005.still since then no proof shown hmmmmmm ppl draw ur own conclusion!
sameole sameole
who are you that i have to take ur word for it??if he cured 2500 ppl where are they ? they should be hollering from the roof tops !where are these doctors they should be going to the media. all i hear is from ricks inner circle the same ole sameole. maybe if you beat down others you will be more believeable,no i dont think so.i hold DR Lester Grinspoon in high regards unlike ricks followers as he is a true friend of legalization, i myself hold no medical education so i leave it up to the professionals but it seems ricks followers are all medical trained telling people not to follow doctors who are the trained professionals. this seems reckless!if rick had to get materials for people to make oil wat was he doing with 70lbs?????? WE WHO SEEK THE TRUTH ARE WAITING MR SIMPSON!!!!!!!!

" ...while there is growing evidence from animal studies that it may shrink tumor cells and cause other promising salutary effects in some cancers, there is no present evidence that it cures any of the many different types of cancer." - Quoted from Grinspoon in the above linked article.
"I cannot serve as a physician to anyone I have not personally examined." - Quoted from Grinspoon's own website disclaimer. http://rxmarijuana.com/disclaimer.htm
"Some learning may be required, and one way to learn is through other people's experience. Some colleagues and I hope to promote this kind of learning by assembling an anthology of accounts of cannabis enhancement experiences. It is our hope that these stories will ultimately provide the basis for a book. Toward that end, we seek to identify contributors who are willing to share their knowledge of the uses of cannabis." - Quoted from Grinspoon, LEARN - http://www.marijuana-uses.com/learn.html
"Simpson, who does not have a medical or scientific education (he dropped out of school in ninth grade), apparently does not require that a candidate for his treatment have an established diagnosis of a specific type of cancer, usually achieved through biopsy, gross and histopathological examinations, radiologic and clinical laboratory evidence. He apparently accepts the word of his “patients.” Furthermore, after he has given the course of “hemp oil,” there is apparently no clinical or laboratory follow-up; he apparently accepts the “patient’s” belief that he has been cured." - Quoted from Grinspoon in the above linked article.
"I think the day will come when it or some cannabinoid derivatives will be demonstrated to have cancer-curative powers, but in the meantime, we must be very cautious about what we promise these patients." - Quoted from Grinspoon in the above linked article.
Just from these quotes alone, it is clear to me that Grinspoon...
(a) ...fully supports anecdotal evidence for new learning only when it suits his book sales, and entirely rejects it when someone with less formal education has anecdotal evidence in support of the cancer cure. ($$)
(b) ... holds those who have less formal education than he to a much lower esteem than himself.
(c) ...claims he cannot serve as a physician to anyone he has not personally examined.
(I'd like him to name just one of Rick Simpson's patients whom he examined to make his "conclusions". He went all the way to Texas to call someone a liar, yet he attacks Rick over the internet and in magazines. What are you afraid to find out, Grinny? (??)
(d) ...would have a far less difficult way to prove or disprove hemp oil on human patients in a clinical setting than us "stupids". Topical application onto skin cancer is suggested for the trials, and since Lester-boy is a doctor of such high moral thread, I am sure he will take the initiative to prove or disprove with every aspect of the trials being fair and unbiased... once and for all.
(e) ...is grossly misinformed about who had medical scans and who did not, and what medical information was available to Rick Simpson at the time of any given treatment of hemp oil. This information is simply not made public. There is no evidence to suggest it does not exist. Therefore, it is only a fantasy of Grinspoon's that Rick has no evidence, yet he claims it as factual information. Wow, can he actually believe that his higher education equates to knowing all? (I think so.)
(f) ... believes that cannabis will be proven to cure cancer someday, but not with Rick Simpson's say-so. I suppose we'll find Grinspoon discovering it by then and receiving his award for it in grand-style.
(g) ...spends more time blathering to save face, than doing any real research or actual work on the immediate subject of hemp oil curing cancers.
Grinspoon, shit or get off the pot, will ya?
But don't hold your breath on that happening any time soon. He is making too much money selling his books that continue to downplay the cancer curative properties of properly made hemp oil, thereby directly contributing to the deaths of those who would be foolish enough to follow HIM blindly to chemo alley. We must be very careful which doctors we put our faith in when they stand to lose out on the truth.
Make your own cure! Cure yourself!
The proof is in the pudding is it not? Find out for yourself.

1974 Medical College of Virginia study - Cannabis Cures Cancer
For those of you who want some truth with your meal... check out the 1974 Medical College of Virginia study.
And take a good look at who funded it.
http://www.ukcia.org/research/AntineoplasticActivityOfCannabinoids/index.php
http://americanmarijuana.org/Guzman-Cancer.pdf
The media would like to bury its head in the sand like there is no evidence to what we are telling you - ("certain" hemp publications as well). Hemp oil cures cancer because it is made of cannabinoids, which were proven in 1974 to cure cancers. You just didn't hear of it for "some reason"... I suppose it is because the cancer societies are on the up-and-up and we're all in good hands with our courts.... pfft... NOT!!
One would think that a cure for cancer would be top priority news. This information is also not "known" by most medical doctors. Or is it??
I'll tell you what is going on and then you can see it for yourself. The American Cancer Society was part of a study done in 1974 to find out what the deal was with cannabis; they were trying to find the negative properties of it. Through studies at the Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, it was instead proven that cannabinoids kill cancer cells. Why wasn't the study released and why is this debate continuing still today among people on the same side of cannabis activism?
Is the American Cancer Society hiding this from us? Are they telling us about it?
Why are they still collecting donations in hopes of "finding a cure" when a study they helped to fund already found it OVER 35 YEARS AGO???
It is time to start asking the tough questions and stop bickering over what is obviously factual and proven. If you want a Canadian court to back a cancer cure, you will need a judge with a gold bar up his ass because the arrogant and useless ones around here would jail a nun for a nickel.
