Marijuana: Medical Papers
by Todd Mikuriya, M.D.
Medi-Comp Press, 1973, pp. xiii-xxvii www.druglibrary.org

"Dr. Tod Mikuriya (1933-2007) began the study of cannabis medicines while still in medical school and went on to head up the National Institute of Health's non-classified marijuana research program.  In 1972, Dr. Tod published Marijuana Medical Papers: 1869-1972, this seminal work helped launch the modern movement for medical marijuana.

When the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 was enacted into law as CA HSC §11362.5, Dr. Tod began practicing cannabis therapy full time.  This bold move brought negative attention from the forces of prohibition ranging from the National Drug Czar all the way down to individual county sheriffs and at every level in between.  Fortunately, Dr. Tod's shoulders were broad enough to withstand this attention, and he had largely overcome the personal opposition by the time of his death in May 2007." http://www.mikuriya.com/

 Judge Jim Gray: Why our war on Drugs has Failed, And What we Can Do About it.  A Judicial Indictment of the War on Drugs: In addition to the comments from the author, who is a veteran trial judge in Southern California, the views, observations and experiences of more than 40 judges and justices nationwide are cited in this documented indictment of the failure of our laws of Drug Prohibition. But the book also brings hope, because viable options to our present failed policy are set forth with specificity, and shown where they are being employed successfully in other countries.
