In
Case You Missed "Montel"
By
FRED GARDNER
Montel Williams devoted his Sept. 14
talk show to medical marijuana -a subject he feels strongly about.
Williams, who is in his late 40s, has multiple sclerosis and
uses marijuana for pain relief. Earlier this year he held a press
conference to advise the powers that be that he's breaking the
law every day. He has not been fired by Fox or arrested.
The Sept. 14 "Montel"
is being hailed by reformers as a breakthrough event that carried
"our" message to millions of viewers in a most persuasive
way. Two patients who owe their lives to marijuana, Angel Raich
and Irvin Rosenfeld, joined Williams on stage along with the
mother and grandmother of a young patient named Jeffrey. Five
other panelists contributed to the discussion from the front
row: Donald Abrams, MD, an AIDS and cancer specialist from UC
San Francisco; Rob Kampia of the Marijuana Policy Project; Don
Murphy a politician from Maryland; Andrea Barthwell, MD, formerly
of the Drug Czar's office; and Roger Curtiss, an addiction specialist
from a treatment center in Montana.
Angel Raich's story came first,
accompanied by scrapbook photos and recent footage of her at
home. A young mother of two rendered immobile by a brain tumor,
seizures, fibromyalgia, degenerative joint disease, wasting syndrome...
In a wheelchair for four years. Couldn't use the right side of
her body. "I tried all the drugs, nothing was working. My
daughter asked 'Why can't you do the things other mommies do?"
In August '97 Angel attempted
suicide. Then, she said, "A nurse pulled me aside and said,
'Have you ever tried medical marijuana?' I was extremely offended.
That's a crime.... I was very conservative, a mother of two,
all I could think of was the cops coming to put me in handcuffs."
But out of desperation she tried it, and a year-and-a-half later
she stopped using a wheelchair. Her inoperable brain tumor is
stable and she's a functioning mom.
Over footage of Angel inhaling
mist from a Volcano vaporizer, Montel reminded the audience to
"Get rid of the image of smoking it. Three days a week I
don't smoke it at all, I eat it." And with that he broke
for commercials:
o Woman 40ish, big smile, hugs
man... "Ask your doctor about Levitra."
o Repo Bargain Network selling
lists of cars and homes seized by the DEA (what a coincidence)
and IRS being auctioned off in your area.
o Progressive Auto Insurance
(owned by Peter Lewis, a major donor to the Marijuana Policy
Project. Another coincidence.)
o Ex Lax can cause cramps (ad
for a rival laxative).
o 24-Hour Fitness to stay in
shape.
o Mercury Auto Insurance (saves
you money)
Montel held some file cards
in his hand containing points he would make during the course
of the show. He started the second segment with a few stats:
the latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows a 5%
decline in 12-17 year olds who have used pot, and a 15% rise
in prescription-drug use among 18-25 year-olds; five million
Ritalin prescriptions filled last year in this country Montel
shook his head in dismay and continued to do so as Angel described
her civil suit against the feds. "The federal government
started raiding patients, providers and caregivers in the medical
marijuana community I was afraid of being raided and losing my
life In fear, I filed suit against Attorney General Ashcroft
and DEA Administrator Asa Hutchinson." (Applause .) Angel
didn't get a chance to explain why federal law doesn't apply,
according to a federal appeals court, or that Raich v. Ashcroft
will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court in late November, because
it was time for the next guest to tell her heart-wrenching story.
Debbie Jeffrey's account of
her son Jeffrey's miserable childhood was also accompanied by
pictures of him growing up. Debbie started out in a little girl's
voice. There was something disconcerting about the way she recounted
her son's problems: "I first realized that there were issues
with Jeffrey when he was about nine months old with temper tantrums
that were not normal temper tantrums." The doctors she brought
him to diagnosed attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, oppositional
defiant disorder, conduct disorder, and other pseudo-clinical
conditions concocted by the authors of the Diagnostic & Statistical
Manual. They put him on Adderall, Clonazepam, Clonidine, Depakote,
Dexadrine, Imipramine, Mellarel, Neurontin Risperal, Ritalin,
Seroquel, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, and Zyprexa. "Adult maximum
doses," recalled the mom, "and you never knew what
the side effects were going to be. At age four he had robots
talking to him telling him to kill me"
Debbie Jeffreys heard about
and researched the medical effects of marijuana (video of Debbie
at her computer). "Jeffrey's life changed immediately when
he started taking this medication," she told Montel. "He
got this smile on his face and said 'Mommy, I feel happy, my
head's not noisy.'"
Jeffrey's grandmother confirmed
the transformation. She said Jeffrey became "quieter, not
angry." He was placed back in public school and made friends
for the first time The grandmother emphasized that she and her
daughter had no pro-marijuana inclinations. "We are a conservative
Christian family. We thought medical marijuana was just a way
for tie-dyed hippy people to get stoned."
Break for ads, including, "On
the next Montel, Sylvia Browne, What do your dreams mean?'"
Montel focuses on the occult every Wednesday and psychic Sylvia
is a regular guest.
Montel asked Debbie Jeffreys
where things stood. Debbie, on the verge of tears, said "The
DEA raided the farm where we were able to get marijuana and they
took it away. Everyone in the collaborative... WAMM... worked
together to try to get the right blend of marijuana, but we were
never able to reproduce it. So, unfortunately, Jeffrey's been
in a residential facility for over a year now."
Maybe to viewers whose daily
intake includes Ricky Lake and Dr. Phil and such, this melodramatic
answer seemed like the whole truth and nothing but but it sounded
too pat For sure Valerie Corral of WAMM had developed a special
blend for Jeffrey, using all her knowledge and experience as
a compounding herbalist and it got taken when the DEA raided
the Corrals' property. But there were significant other changes
in Jeffrey's environment at this time -Debbie's remarriage, for
one, which she did not mention on Montel- more likely to have
thrown him for a loop than a change in blend of medicine. It's
also likely that a sensitive kid would have been profoundly shaken
by the raid itself. Imagine how it must have sounded to his ears:
all these kind grown-ups who have been helping you suddenly get
arrested at gunpoint and reduced to tears, their garden chopped
down, their lives turned upside-down, their futures uncertain
How could you not feel guilty and terrified? The raid on WAMM
in September 2002 changed the set and setting for Jeffrey's subsequent
use of marijuana -freighted it with upsetting associations, undermining
its efficacy You'd think the lack of a happy ending would keep
the mother and grandmother off the publicity trail, but a revised
edition of Debbie's book, "Jeffrey's Journey," is due
to be published in February '05 by Ed Rosenthal's company, and
the Marijuana Policy Project has granted them $20,000 just to
publicize it.
Montel, over the faint hum
of almost-breaktime muzak: "The people of a state spoke:
they said, 'We believe that in our state we believe we have a
right to have doctors prescribe medical marijuana... The federal
government steps in and destroys the whole process When we come
back we're going to meet a man who gets his pot from Uncle Sam."

Now we're back with Montel
and Irvin Rosenfeld, the broker from Boca Raton (actually, Fort
Lauderdale). At age 10 Irvin was playing shortstop for a little
league team (scrapbook shot of a cute kid in uniform), threw
out the last batter to end the game, tried to toss his glove
in the air to celebrate, and his arm wouldn't move. Diagnosed
with a rare congenital condition in which tumors form on the
ends of his bones. Tried every conventional medicine and underwent
seven operations to remove 40 tumors; some 200 remain. Tried
marijuana in college "in response to peer pressure"
and discovered that it relieved the tension in his muscles and
reduced his pain. Accepted into the federal Investigational New
Drug program in November, 1982, he has been smoking 10 NIDA-supplied
marijuana cigarettes a day ever since.
Rosenfeld had brought with
him a silver-colored can, about 6 inches in diameter; the camera
zoomed in for a close-up of the label. "Every 25 days I
go to a pharmacy and pick up this can, 11 ounces of marijuana,
approximately 300 cigarettes"
Montel hammered home the unfairness
of the government banning marijuana for medical use and yet providing
it to a small group of citizens. Rosenfeld said that as of 1992
there were 13 patients in the program (five of whom had AIDS)
and 28 whose applications had been approved by the DEA, FDA,
and NIDA. But with AIDS patients beginning to apply in large
numbers, George H.W. Bush closed the program to new applicants
-and those on the waiting list. Today there are seven surviving
patients who get government marijuana through the program, two
of whom have remained private.

Comes now the introduction
of five guests seated in the front row. Montel asked: "Do
we live in a democratic society? If we live in a democratic society,
and in nine states the people have spoken, why does not the government
have to listen?" He addressed the question to Andrea Barthwell,
MD, a middle-aged black woman with a calm, professional air,
who until a few months ago had been a deputy director in the
White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Barthwell set forth the federal/medical
establishment line in terms that have barely changed since NIH
director Harold Varmus first articulated it in response to the
passage of Prop 215: "The problem with trying to bring medications
to the market place through a popular vote," she said, "just
is setting modern medicine back to the turn of the [20th] century.
We evolved a process through which we would evaluate botanicals,
biologicals, even a molecule that we found in the lab. And we
would manipulate that in a way to increase its efficacy, reduce
its side effects, and bring it to the people in a way that protected
the public health. To say that we're going to set medicine back
to the turn of the century when snake oil salesmen handed out
medications from the back of stagecoaches really doesn't move
us forward..."
Montel, was on his feet with
Irv's can of NIDA-grown cannabis: "We're not handing it
out in stagecoaches! The government is sending this out Your
doctors approved the protocol."
"There are some exceptions,"
Barthwell acknowledged, "and there are other patients that
could get it through exceptions, but what we know is that the
Institute of Medicine, independent scientists who determine medicine
in this country, scientists and physicians, not by popular vote,
determined that there was potential for medication development
from marijuana, but that the research should follow the same
scientific principles that we follow for all other medications."
Rosenfeld put in, "I've
been getting this medicine for 22 years from the federal government,
and they don't want to research me. They don't even want to know
what's happening with me." A few years ago he and three
other patients went, at private expense, to the University of
Montana for complete medical evaluations. "And we all came
out normal," he said. "My lung capacity was 108 percent
of normal." Nor is he lacking in energy and motivation,
Rosenfeld pointed out over footage of him at his desk in a brokerage
firm, dealing with five matters at once.
Donald Abrams, MD, also commented
on the biased federal approach to research. In the late '90s
Abrams conducted a federally funded study to determine the safety
of smoked marijuana in AIDS patients taking protease inhibitors.
"At that time we could not use the federal government's
marijuana to show that it might be beneficial because NIDA has
a mandate from Congress that they could only supply marijuana
for research to show that it might be dangerous," said Abrams.
"Subsequently NIDA has changed their mechanism so we can
look for benefit."
Barthwell reiterated: "In
looking at the crude botanical, it has not met the test of medicine."
She was nodding as if in agreement with herself when Montel confronted
her. "If it hasn't met the test, then you shouldn't be giving
it. But since you're shipping it, it must have met some test.
[Pointing towards Angel] This woman can barely survive... I see
the look on your face, but you're not living what she's living.
You don't know what I'm living, or what this lady's living. You
can't even get to it all. And yet you sit here and say we have
to still do studies. Well, while you're till doing studies, let
the government deliver it to me! [Applause. Barthwell continued
to smile tolerantly.]
Montel brandished a bottle
of hydrocodone. "I can take one to two tablets every four
hours. It takes me 20 of these a days to knock down my pain.
I can read in the PDR all the adverse effects of this drug. I'm
not talking about drugs for other people. I'm talking about that
woman is dying, I can barely walk. Why can't the federal government
expand this program to include people like myself so that I don't
have to worry about getting locked up?"
We'll be right back.

Montel's next guest, former
Maryland state delegate Don Murphy described himself as "a
law-and-order Republican." Murphy said he'd had a constituent,
"a Green Beret Republican farmer from a rural county"
with late stage cancer who claimed he needed marijuana in order
to eat. Murphy believed him and drafted a compassionate-use bill
that eventually passed and "was signed into law by a Republican
governor" with the constituent's name attached to it.
Murphy modestly asserted that
his opposition to needle exchange and other measures favored
by drug-policy reformers "makes my position more powerful."
Not to everybody, Murph. Some of us hear, behind every self-congratulatory
pro-marijuana declaration by right wingers and "Christian
conservatives," unspoken retained prejudices. What if your
constituent had been a black single mother or a Jewish anti-war
activist? Would their claims that marijuana relieves cancer-related
nausea and pain have been less believable?
In turning to his next guest,
Montel focused the conversation on the need for reform -but in
a way that narrowly limited the options. "This is so simple,"
he said. "Why not just change it from Schedule one to Schedule
two? What is the problem? What is the fear? Schedule-one drugs
supposedly have no efficacy whatsoever. Marijuana is in that
category along with PCP and heroin. Schedule two, though, is
cocaine, morphine. So are you saying to me, 'Montel, you should
be a cocaine addict or an Oxycontin drooler rather than a functioning
member of society?'"
MPP honcho Rob Kampia was up
next, and instead of pointing out that even Schedule two would
be too restrictive -Marinol is on Schedule three- he did an oblique
fund-raising pitch. "Well, I'll tell ya, with our annual
budget of five million, I'll trade our budget for the federal
drug budget any day of the week." Kampia's relentless and
successful fund-raising has made him the most powerful individual
in the medical marijuana movement today. His instincts are the
opposite of radical, and although some of the $5 million a year
he allocates goes to righteous projects, he's wasteful, plays
favorites, and is an unattractive spokesperson (looking always
as if he was sucking on something sour).
Montel put it out there again,
"Schedule one or Schedule two?" and got a non-sequitur
response from Roger Curtiss, the addiction specialist with wire-rimmed
glasses and a perfectly trimmed little beard. "Let me back
up a second," Curtiss began. "I understand the pain
that people in this audience and on stage are talking about.
I understand your pain.
Montel: You hear it but you
don't understand it.
Curtiss: Yes, I understand
it. I deal with it day in, day-out.
Montel: Do you have it yourself?
Curtiss: I'm a recovering alcohol
addict, 25 years. What I need to tell you is, day in and day
out, I deal with people's pain physically, spiritually mentally,
the whole nine yards. My best friend died with cancer July 14,
and I sat by his side all the way-
Montel (striding over and leaning
into Curtiss's face): You sat by his side but you never felt
how he felt. And I'm tired of hearing people tell me they know
how I feel 'cause you do not. You don't know that I can't take
my toes and let them run down a sheet. You don't know that when
I go to the bathroom my leg hurts from my toes to my hip.
Curtiss: I feel your pain.
Yes I do.
Angel: What about someone like
me who can't take other drugs? Do you want me to just die?
Curtiss: (placing his hand
to his heart, as if pledging allegiance) As far as I know there
are prescription drugs that can help her problem.
Abrams, a real doctor, had
some relevant info for Williams "In our studies of HIV patients
with painful feet -peripheral neuropathy- animal studies have
already demonstrated that marijuana, where opioids don't work,
works for nerve pain."

Montel: What is the fear of
making it a schedule two drug?
Barthwell: When I was with
the federal government... There really was no fear if it had
met the test of schedule 2. But Montel, the real story here is
not to give people a crude botanical and have them smoke it or
chew it or bake it or vaporize it, the real story here is that
we know that there are constituent parts of marijuana that show
tremendous problems [she must have meant 'promise'] both as agonists
- they stimulate the receptor - and as antagonists - they block
the receptor. And we are on the verge of a major scientific breakthrough
that will probably take 10 to 15 years to complete (groans from
audience and panel) and our scientific money has to be spent
to develop these drugs and medications in the way in which we
do all drugs.
Montel: Our top ally, London,
they have just approved a product by a company called GW GW took
the plant apart and they have come up with a mucosal spray. Right
now it's in a pause but it will be approved for distribution
in London So you're telling me that British doctors are smarter
than US doctors?
Barthwell: They [GW] have made
a decision that the constituent parts of marijuana won't have
their effect unless they are delivered in a milieu much like
the plant, so they've macerated the plant and they can deliver
it in a particular milieu, and it is in clinical trials. They
have not demonstrated its efficacy and if they do it will be
considered by the FDA here for importation.
Montel pointed out that AIDS
drugs had been fast-tracked and approved in two to three years.
Abrams, who sounded as reasonable and intelligent as you'd want
your doctor to be, said "I'm a cancer doctor and an HIV
doctor, and if I have a drug that gives people relief of pain,
increases their appetite, decreases nausea, and perhaps improves
their mood, that's an important drug to be able to give people,
especially with cancer who are at the end of their life."
Abrams described a historically
significant episode that revealed how the medical establishment
-not just the government- has upheld prohibition. "In 1997
after the law was changed in California, Jerome Kassirer, who
was Editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, wrote
an editorial on medical marijuana called 'federal foolishness,'
saying 'We know this drug works, everybody has their anecdotal
experience of people who have benefited from it, get over it,
reschedule it, make it schedule 2.' Unfortunately," Abrams
noted, "he very shortly thereafter became no longer the
editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine."

The final segment begin with
a clip from the press conference at which Montel had come out
as a medical marijuana user: "I'm breaking the law every
day and I'm going to continue to break the law everyday because
it's the only way that I can get up every morning and continue
to being a functioning member of society." Applause. Cut
to Montel on stage in the present.
"We call ourselves a
compassionate nation, we say we want to teach the rest of the
world how to be compassionate, that's why we're spending all
this money trying to shove 'democracy' down people's throats.
Part of compassion is understanding that we don't know all the
answers. All we have to do is a basic change from schedule one
to schedule two. If we think our doctors are smart enough to
prescribe people morphine, cocaine, oxycontin, percocet, vicodin,
oxycet... they're smart enough to say 'I think this person should
utilize medicinal marijuana.'
"Write your Congressman:
enough is enough."
P.S.
An activist who gets money
from MPP asked, "Why take only Kampia to task for not questioning
whether marijuana belonged on Schedule two? Do you hold it against
him that MPP wouldn't support O'Shaughnessy's? (the journal of
California's pro-cannabis doctors)." Well, of course I do.
But in this situation it wasn't up to Montel Williams or Angel
Raich or Irvin Rosenfeld, seriously ill people whose access to
cannabis would be assured if it went to Schedule two, to question
the demand for schedule two. Nor was it up to Donald Abrams,
an oncologist and AIDS specialist who would be willing to write
triplicate prescriptions (as entailed by Schedule two) for his
patients. It was up to Kampia to state our demands because he
has pushed himself forward as the voice of the movement. And
our demand is ITAL not END ITAL for the classification of marijuana
as a dangerous drug. There are millions of people in California
and beyond whose access would actually be inhibited if marijuana
was moved to Schedule Two and doctors had to prescribe it on
triplicate forms.
There's also the matter of
honesty and medical reality: marijuana simply doesn't belong
in Schedule Two (with addictive morphine and cocaine). Marinol
-a synthetic version of marijuana's strongest psychoactive component-
is on Schedule three. Marijuana should have its own classification,
as per its unique mechanism of action. For years California's
leading authority on cannabis in clinical practice, Tod Mikuriya,
MD, has advocated categorizing it as an "easement"
(rather than a sedative" or "hallucinogen" as
per the standard texts and formularies).
On another level it seems absurd
that anybody speaking for the "movement" would embrace
the demand that marijuana be moved to schedule two. Even if you
think it would be a big improvement over schedule one -and in
many ways it would- why open negotiations by demanding such a
move? Why not keep it as your fallback position, the compromise
you may be forced to accept? Why state it as your goal when it's
not what you really want or know is right?
A reliable source says that
Kampia tried hard to hire Andrea Barthwell after she left the
employ of the drug czar in July. "We've learned we can hire
our enemies," young Rob shared at the NORML conference this
spring, obviously pleased with his strategic insight. He said
he'd just hired a reporter from the Las Vegas Sun -a woman who'd
ITAL opposed END ITAL MPP's Nevada initiative in 2002- to be
the chief publicist for the 2003 re-try. This approach has revealing
implications. Does Kampia assume that hirelings have no influence
on MPP projects, that they merely follow orders from the top
of the hierarchy? Or does he want to promote conservative influences
within the movement?
"Always do the right thing,
Mookie."
Holy Smoke
In the summer of '96, Father
Guido Sarducci spoke at a Yes-on-215 rally at Dennis Peron's
Market Street club, which also happened to be campaign headquarters.
Rescheduling marijuana, said Fr. Guido, will involve a switch
in patron saints. "The patron saint of marijuana has always
a-been Saint Subic. But if it's a-reschedule, itta be put under
Saints Maureen and Doreen, along with a-glue and 3.2 beer."
Fr. Guido also said he was hoping to make monsignor because if
Prop 215 passed, priests would be allowed to grow three plants
but monsignors would be allowed to grow four. Prescient.
