shug Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Biz Ivol Petition The time has come to say 'enough is enough' ! This petition is not about legalising cannabis, scoring points or toeing the party political line. It is about justice, compassion and fair play and should be of interest to everyone - regardless of Religion, race or political allegiances. ******* Biz Ivol, a MS sufferer in Orkney, is in court Wednesday for using cannabis as a medicine and helping other to obtain cannabis as a medicine. Biz has been waiting 2 years for the case to come to court and her health has suffered so much that she is now bedridden and her sight has gone. The quality of Biz's life is now so bad that she no longer wishes to be alive, "I'm not frightened about what might happen to me. They can't put me in jail because of the condition I'm in. They can't fine me anything because I haven't got any money. And I'm already a prisoner, trapped inside a body that's full of pain and doesn't work anymore." [biz Ivol; The Scotsman, [uK] Friday, 13 June 2003]. Full Story from the Scotsman NOTE: Biz has made it clear her decision to decide her own future has nothing to do with the case. She has simply had enough of suffering but wants to have her say before ending it all. The Question still needs to be asked WHY has this prosecution been allowed to be brought forward. ****** For the attention of: Scotland's Minister of Justice Cathy Jamieson MSP; The Scottish Executive E-Mail: scottish.ministers@scotland.gov.uk Head of Scotland's Justice Department: Contact (E-mail): ceu@scotland.gov.uk We the undersigned deplore the way the Scottish Criminal Justice System has treated MS sufferer Biz Ivol and demand. The Scottish Minister for Justice intervenes and stop this case forthwith And; Justifies the inhumane manner this case has been handled by the Scottish Justice Department.

Bish Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I still can't bend my head around this, i really can't! It's ok to bomb fuck out of Iraqi innocents, but it's against the law for a dying woman to use a medicine that aliviates her pain. Words fail me, they really do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind Your Head Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hi SR. i'v just been reading a couple on canna related threads there and found this little gem: You know I don’t see why I should be the criminal How can something with no recorded fatalities be illegal And how many deaths are there per year from alcohol I just completed Gran Tourismo on the hardest setting We pose no threat on my settee Ooh the pizza’s here will someone let him in please “We didn’t order chicken, Not a problem we’ll pick it out I doubt they meant to mess us about After all we’re all adults not louts.” As I was saying, we’re friendly peaceful people We’re not the ones out there causing trouble. We just sit in this hazy bubble with our quarters Discussing how beautiful Gail Porter is. MTV, BBC 2, Channel 4 is on until six in the morning. Then at six in the morning the sun dawns and it’s my bedtime. Causing trouble, your stinking rabble Boys saying I’m the lad who’s spoiling it You’re on drugs it really bugs me when people try and tell me I’m a thug Just for getting drunk I like getting drunk Cause I’m an upstanding citizen If a war came along I’d be on the front line with em. Now Terry you’re repeating yourself But that’s okay drunk people can’t help that. A chemical reaction inside your brain causes you to forget what you’re saying. What. I know exactly what I’m saying I’m perfectly sane You stinking student lameo Go get a job and stop robbing us of our taxes. Err, well actually according to research Government funding for further education pales in insignificance When compared to how much they spend on repairing Leery drunk people at the weekend In casualty wards all over the land. Why you cheeky little swine come here I’m gonna batter you. Come here. It was posted as is, so I dont know who wrote it. ...Oh yes of course I know who wrote its was "Terry" Here is the registration page: http://community.channel4.com/6/ubb.x?a=rg...rgi&s=162603557 You will need to provide a valid email addy and there is a 24h delay on acount activation.

maryjane Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 done and bumped elsewhere to be disgusted by such action taken agaist biz ivol is an understatement ....i feel physically sick we are the few to lead the many to the right to safe organic medication .....after all many of us have had the full run of allopathic meds and survived' just in some cases ..... i am not a criminal...but i am breaking the law i put my face on the front page of the mail in 1999 espousing such..... i am ready to do this again ....but this time to ask when are laws that are broken outdated and ill-informed, where does it say a person hasnt the right to find the best medication be it herbal, holistic, allopathic or an integrated approach of all. the moneys being procured by the roadside speed cameras to further more are to take the burden of rta victims .they are there to save a few ... when you are in the same situation as Biz Ivol where are the do gooders to save her, they are the ones growing risking imprisonment so she has medicine .... the cannabis law is an ass.....the government is an ass, put the great back into Britain Blunkett and have the balls to give the right to self medicate , there is already a government white paper that states a person who suffers chronic ill health are often thier own specialist ...lets see an implication of this white paper ...by letting those self medicating with marijuanna getting the support and freedom from criminality to do just that. we once was great britain , but as history has proved so often the wheel just goes around ....the peasants always revolted ......would love to see the revolting peasants supporting the herb......next general election vote with your heart people mj offended to the quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
