Specificatii
Dying to Get High with Susie Bright on Boing Boing Warring Wines;
'You Want to Fight?'; Nurse Mary Jane in Santa CruzHigh Times
interviews the authorsAlternet excerpt of the book (How Pot Became
Demonized)Discussion from the Santa Cruz MetroMarijuana as medicine
has been a politically charged topic in this country for more than
three decades. Despite overwhelming public support and growing
scientific evidence of its therapeutic effects (relief of the
nausea caused by chemotherapy for cancer and AIDS, control over
seizures or spasticity caused by epilepsy or MS, and relief from
chronic and acute pain, to name a few), the drug remains illegal
under federal law.In Dying to Get High, noted sociologist Wendy
Chapkis and Richard J. Webb investigate one community of
seriously-ill patients fighting the federal government for the
right to use physician-recommended marijuana. Based in Santa Cruz,
California, the Wo/Men's Alliance for Medical Marijuana (WAMM) is a
unique patient-caregiver cooperative providing marijuana free of
charge to mostly terminally ill members. For a brief period in
2004, it even operated the only legal non-governmental medical
marijuana garden in the country, protected by the federal courts
against the DEA. Using as their stage this fascinating profile of
one remarkable organization, Chapkis and Webb tackle the broader,
complex history of medical marijuana in America. Through compelling
interviews with patients, public officials, law enforcement
officers and physicians, Chapkis and Webb ask what distinguishes a
legitimate patient from an illegitimate pothead, good drugs from
bad, medicinal effects from just getting high. Dying to Get High
combines abstract argument and the messier terrain of how people
actually live, suffer and die, and offers a moving account of what
is at stake in ongoing debates over the legalization of medical
marijuana.
