Technically it's an opioid. THC hits the same receptors. Codeine is also an opioid.

The website and its new front page lead to nothing. Rebuilding, or was that a phony document?

Any narcotic prescribed by a physician presents dangers over the long term. And any opiate is addictive. This just parallels the perils of reefer with Oxy and Xanax and any other pain killer available only by prescription. Heck just about every prescription that isn't replacing something the human body can't produce has long-term ill effects. Since medicinal marijuana will most certainly provide benefit, I see no reason why it can't join the list of controlled substances you can get through a physician.

So victims of MS and those suffering side effects from chemo should cowboy up, right? Or stick with Dilaudid. What's your chronic pain from?

It should have nothing to do with cash. It should have everything to do with the guy or gal suffering from pain due to glaucoma, MS, or cancer treatments not having to resort to buying the far less harmful and addictive reefer from Dr Doobie on the corner. There will be abuses and a black market, just like with other scrips like Xanax and Oxy, but why would anyone want to deny relief to the patients who need it?

Interesting question. Whoever's got it created a specific website for it. (Making that person an actual blogger, as opposed to a commenter.)

Mr Deetjen does serve at the pleasure of the Board, but has always had his votes in line. Learn more about his past, he's a very political animal. Mr Heilmann decided a couple years back that he needed to go and tried to get the form of government change via a referendum. A petition was started, forged, and ultimately tossed. The Board did little due diligence in hiring him, and I believe when they learned of his problems in Deerfield Beach, FL, he convinced them that he was a victim of trumped up charges and they believed him. Mr Deetjen was hired in 2007 but I don't know that it's a close-ended contract position. Mayor Bury really likes the guy so he's in and I don't think this HOB saga will sully his rep with the Board. Unless, perhaps, they revisit a racist incident he was named in in 2006 down in FL.

ReplySure, this occurred under Mr Heilmann's watch, but I am not sure you can cast blame on him. It's the Manager's doing, right? Isn't this a Manager-centric government? How could Mr Heilmann have stopped him?

ReplyI think this document is one that's going to take time to fester and develop. Any reporter doing due diligence on it is going to have to spend considerable time with it. If it's authentic (if it isn't, it's an award-winning piece of fiction), it's not going to be an 800-pound gorilla for long, Personally, I'm just going to sit back and watch.

Yeah he did a bang up job in Deerfield Beach, FL. Read up on it, Andy. Somehow his teflon hands emerged unsullied, until Capellini goes on trial anyway.
