I Offended The CMA
They Requested I Shut Up!
Bonus:
Today I got a letter in response to my recent critcism of Dr. Louis Hugo
Francescutti. He’s too damned uppity to respond himself so he had his hired
help write me. LOL
Dear
Mr. Barrett
I
am writing to you in my capacity as CMA’s Senior Legal Counsel in regards to
your most recent correspondence to the CMA President, Dr. L.H. Francescutti on
the subject of medical marijuana.
While
individuals are certainly entitled to differences on opinion on such subject
matters, we wish to underline that some of your statements are not appropriate
nor professional. Do not direct future statements of this nature to the CMA and
its elected representatives. Please govern yourself accordingly.
Yours
Jean
Nelson

Dear Ms. Nelson:
Thank you for your contact if for no
other reason than it’s an acknowledgement that Dr. Lou is finally reading my
submissions. You might ask him to see my previous ones which were, at the start,
very appropriate and professional- No response. The fact that the fool decided
to out me on his ignore list prompted this one you object to. My comments are
all appropriate when directed at and about Dr. Lou. They are presented in a
professional manner that matches that of your lord and master and I actually
resent having to lower my standards to match his in order to establish a
contact.
You are CMA’s Senior
Legal Counsel and obviously have to be familiar with the provisions
both the MMAR and the MMRP. Why are you letting Dr. Lou get away with his continual
repetition of his lie that the document doctor’s have to sign is a
“prescription”? That is an outright lie and you know it.
The Letter now required by the MMRP effectively
is the same MMAR Declaration confirming the symptoms qualifying an individual for
a legal right to buy pot. The only change with the MMRP is the restriction of
that right to purchase from only one vendor from their approved list. What
Doctors sign is not a prescription but a permit to buy and the Gateway function
signing will create is just Bull!
You are allowing the fool to present
the CMA as a collection of cowards in denial of the benefits of Marijuana
because they all fear loss of income and will lose big kickbacks and fringe benefits
that Big Pharma has used to buy their loyalty and “Prescribing” drugs one hell
of a lot more dangerous than pot. For heavens sake, Dr. Francescutti should be
far more concerned with his followers actually killing patients with their
over-prescribing of Big Pharma opiates and other drugs with fatal consequences.
I should point out that I have no
need to slice up Dr. Lou’s most recent outpouring of anguish over the
harassment and approach of the sales professionals for marijuana who copy the
tactics of Big Pharma sales professionals promoting their poisons.
I have no need to blow his
presentation all to hell because that has already effectively been done by a
Teenager who before he even enters university has the ability to recognize
bullshit for what it is. You might want to send him a “Shut Your Mouth” letter
like you did me. Check it out, you can read it in the True North Times at http://www.truenorthtimes.ca/2014/07/26/canadian-doctors-considering-medical-marijuana/#.U9WOtm2RaK0.facebook
I have no intention of curbing my
criticism of Dr. Lou when he advocates that his Physicians violate their Oath
“Do no harm” and refuse to sign for a patient in pain and are content to sit
back and wait for their victim to die. This asshole has caused more harm to the
Medical Marijuana patient pool than any of his predecessors. There are 40,000
of them declaring they benefit from using cannabis for manifold diseases and
conditions and Dr. Lou stands on his podium declaring it has “No Medical
Benefit”, that there has been no valid research despite thousands of published
technically valid studies, that there is great risk in its use despite 5000
years of medical and recreational use. He closes his eyes and refuses to see
the benefits that changed Dr. Sanjay Gupta from an opponent into an advocate
for its use. I don’t understand how he could have missed the “Weed” documentary
with its national exposure a half dozen times on various networks. I believe he
is fully aware of his intentional denial of benefit but he has painted himself
into a corner where he simply cannot declare himself a liar.
As far as your order “Do not direct future statements of this nature to the CMA and its
elected representatives.” You can shove it
where the sun don’t shine!
I intent to continue to challenge the stupidity and
dishonorable conduct of both Dr. Lou and his followers in the CMA, with regard
to Medical Marijuana. As long as they persist with their denial of help to me
and my 40,000 fellow companions now being persecuted, I will do so using any
language appropriate to the situation, witha level of professionalism suitable
to that of my target.
I do not know if you believe you have any legal recourse to make me hold
my tongue and I don’t really give a damn if you do. Go ahead and sue me. I
can’t even afford my own medication because of CMA’s opposition. Go ahead and
get me arrested and thrown in the clink. I don’t give a shit if you do. That
would be an increase in my standard of living: free rent, free meals, a new
circle of friends for me, and a welcome holiday for my wife.
Feel free to do anything you want. I’m not afraid of Harper, the Cops
and not you. Anything you do to silence me will simply elevate my podium and
public visibility to a higher level. I need all the publicity I can get
At one point in my life long past I actually believed that a Doctor was
a man of Character and held the profession in high regard. Unfortunately Dr. Lou
and the profession have demonstrated a complete lack of ”The Six Pillars of
Character” the ethical qualities that earned my regard: .
Trustworthiness,
Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, Citizenship.
Among these Pillars,
“Honesty” is the most important component of each. The battery of lies
regarding Cannabis that the CMA is spouting under D. Lou’s leadership, have
destroyed all Six Pillars and the image the public is getting from their
attitude is that of a bunch of moral derelicts.
I have already published this reply completely on my blog at:
Chew on that. I look
forward to your response
Blaine Barrett
