Alaska’s THC Medical Clinic
OK, I’m going to try and timeline this before it gets to far out and I’m too stoned…
Mike Smith
by Lido Vizzutti-Flathead Beacon
Around 6 O’too fucking early AM the other day Mike Smith calls and wakes my wife up and then she wakes me up and he starts demanding to know if I am the owner of AlaskaHemp.com, which evidently he was smart enough to run a whois: on Google and find out I was the registered owner, and then demands to know if I own it or just manage it and I ask him who he is because I just don’t like his attitude and he says “You are impeding an official investigation by refusing to cooperate” and makes some threats about my being arrested and that I don’t know who I’m talking to “OK, that’s it, your refusing to cooperate, the State Police are on their way.” (First clue that this person is not a local, eh?)
Thinking this to be some redneck short on brains and bereft of testicles that has a hard on about hippies smoking pot I hang up and go back to bed. he calls again. He makes some more threats about my failure to cooperate and says something about “sending kids to school with Pot in their lunches” and now the asshole is just really pissing me off but I know how to locate him, he has posted to Facebook, I hang up again and turn on the computer.
Alaska Hemp
Yep, there he is, seems him and another guy that I have never met (but know through Facebook) have been having a pissing match. and now he has made me a part of it and I’m not as pissed off about that as I am about being woken up at 6 AM and yelled at and then calling back after I hang up on him the first time! So I now know that it was Mike Smith, owner of the THC medical Clinic in Anchorage calling me. I do a search and find an article in the Anchorage Daily News and see the name of the Dr that issues the medical marijuana prescriptions. I already knew he was an LA Dr they brought up but had never bothered to look into him.
Bingo

OK, this is getting ripe, it seems that Mike Smith of THC Medical Clinic is one of those that can’t stand to have anyone say anything about them, even if is, or especially if it is true. This post will be growing as the drama unfolds and should serve his oft drawn and no doubt soon to be aimed and fired “attorney” Lance Wells, who I am sure is as fine and honest and attorney as there ever was a fine and honest attorney) with a full disclosure should this ever come before a jury.

Alaska Medical MarijuanaWhy do I you need a medical card in Alaska? -
THC Medical ClinicTo legally grow, transport, use or share medical marijuana with another person in Alaska you must have an Alaska issued medical marijuana card. Contrary to popular belief in Alaska, it is NOT legal to grow in the privacy of one’s home. There is no law allowing that. What you have is the idea of privacy through the Constitution in Alaska. Most people don’t know that keeping a structure or dwelling for the manufacturing, distribution or possession of marijuana is a felony. Ravin v Alaska will not protect you from that felony charge. So if you get a medical marijuana card, you are legally protected.October 1 at 1:07pm · -
Alaska Medical Marijuanayou can not give or share your medical marijuana with anyone, there is no way to obtain marijuana LEGALLY to start growing medical in Alaska, what don’t you understand about that?October 2 at 5:50pm

THC Medical ClinicAs a patient or caregiver you order seeds from Europe. It’s legal I do it all the time, just like when I fly I show my medical marijuana card and there is no problem. The card makes you 100% legal NOT just the affirmative defense as you speak of, which can only be used AT TRIAL AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN ARRESTED! Think of it as if we cardholders are all in a special club and as long as we follow our individual state laws, whatever they may be, we are free from any arrest or prosecution.October 2 at 6:46pm ·

Alaska Hemp Dear fellow Hempsters, if you are a medicinal or casual smoker and growing a few plants for your own medical or recreational needs there are reasons why you should NOT get a medical marijuana card. It will reduce the quantity of plants you can grow and reduce the volume of processed marijuana you can have in your home. it will literally open the door to authorities to visit your home to inspect for compliance with the law based on your being a licensed medical marijuana grower, why invite them in? Consider some of these things before you run down and give them hundreds of dollars for a card that will quite possibly just make your life less enjoyable. The THC medical Clinic has been saying that once you have their card you can order seeds through the mail. THIS is FALSE to the best of my understanding and you will be violating both Federal Drug Laws and USPS Regulations, and they WILL go Postal on you. Be aware, be informed, be safe. -
Stoney Burke It has come to our attention that a person representing the THC Medical Clinic has been making harassing and threatening telephone calls in addition to leading people to believe that if they just get a card from them then they can legally order marijuana seeds. There seems to be a strong possibility that this outfit might be a DEA operation collecting information on Alaskan growers to facilitate a sweeping marijuana bust by the DEA, remember, pot growing and use is still a Federal Crime and the DEA Task Force can and will knock down your door and drag you away if they know you are growing, so don’t tell them you are by getting a State Medical marijuana Card! -

So I get on my Google Voice account and call TMC Medical Clinic (just so he will see the call coming from Arizona and screw with his head) to see who answers. it’s Mike! Seems he can’t afford to hire a person to answer the phones at his clinic.
“Hi Mike?”
“Who is this”
“It’s Bill, How ya like me now?”
“YOU %$#@*&, I don’t CARE if my Dr can’t work in Arizona, THIS IS ALASKA”
“well, Mike, I have asked the DHSS to look into your Doctors credentials in regards to his having been found “unsafe” in another state and they have agreed to so.”
“I’m glad you called, now i have your Arizona number!” the phone changes sounds, like he switches to speaker phone “This is the Arizona State Patrol” (sounds a lot like Mike Smith on speaker phone) “we are recording this con..” click. he hangs up, or the Arizona state patrol hang up, I’m not sure.
I see he has a posting in the comments on another website and offer the following:
@thcmc420 Is this not your own Dr?

“BILL FIKES You have been reported to Alaska state trooper Anderson incident. # ak-13076263

I call the Alaska State Troopers. I report Mike has impersonated a Law Officer on at least three occasions and that he has called my home several times in a harassing manner. I tell Trooper Anderson of MatSu West Alaska State Troopers who he is and he tells me he has talked with Mike Smith of THC Medical Clinic and has advised him to not call me any more and has advised me that should the harassing phone calls from Mike Smith continue that he will be taking action and advised me “keep up the good fight.” I will do so.
Yea, I’m scared now. No, really, this guy is off the end of the scale, I’m scared. He has at least a quarter million dollars he has “earned” off Alaskans and others and can afford a tank of gas to come out to Wasilla and find me (if he can read a Google Map) and has demonstrated a seemingly fanatical demeanor.
Tuesday, 5:30 AM: Wow, Mike Smith of THC Medical Clinic just called me and said
“I’m going to cut your fucking head off!”
He then called back 3 more times and the last time said
“Fuck you you fucking asshole, I’m coming for you!”
It seems some people should have their coffee before they turn on their computer.
He called back AGAIN while I was on the Alaska State Trooper Dispatch on my cell phone so now they have a nice recording of Mike Smith of THC Medical Clinic as well. I am waiting for Alaska State Trooper Anderson to call me back right now.
As luck would have it it turns out that Mike’s favorite Dr has been told he can no longer practice medicine in California as well as Arizona, can Alaska be far behind?
UPDATE 6/24/2016
This just in from Lori Brandt
“Well, I just had a major run in with Michael Smith.. Everything you said about him is true. I was purchasing his company trying to help patients in Alaska. He took my $$, and then didn’t follow through with our contract. I reported him to the FBI and the anchorage police on theft and and embezzling. I’m not any part of the healing center!”
THC Medical Clinic is poison, it is run by a lunatic with psychopathic tendencies. (My words, not Lori’s, Sue me Mike Smith!)

D.C. Councilman Pushes Marijuana Legalization, Predicts Congress Would Allow It
The first medical marijuana stores opened in Washington, D.C., less than two months ago, but the D.C. Council is already considering legalizing the drug.
At-large Councilman David Grosso, an independent, introduced legislation Tuesday to legalize marijuana possession and consumption for adults over 21.
“Most people understand the role that marijuana has played in our community: Unlike what was touted for years during the ‘War on Drugs’ that it’s a gateway drug, really all marijuana’s been is a gateway to arrest and a lifetime of struggling with the justice system,” he says.
“New Beer” – Marijuana Policy Project NASCAR Ad
Jul 25, 2013
NASCAR fans attending the 2013 Brickyard 400 races are being greeted by this ad on a jumbotron at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The spoof beer ad produced by the Marijuana Policy Project — http://www.mpp.org — highlights the relative safety of marijuana compared to alcohol by characterizing marijuana as a “new ‘beer'” with “no calories,” “no hangovers,” and “no violence” associated with its use.

Marijuana Increases Brain Cell Formation in the Hippocampus
Often times, medical marijuana patients are stigmatized as “stupid” and “lazy.” As insulting as these assumptions may
be, marijuana activists have evidence that their medicine actually increases brain activity!
When comparing the positive effects marijuana has on brain activity in comparison to the harmful effects {on brain activity} of both alcohol and tobacco, the legalization of marijuana seems like a NO-BRAINER!
In 2005, Professor Xia Zhang, amongst some of his colleagues at Saskatchewan University, tested a synthetic form of THC (HU210) on a group of test rats to observe the effect that HU210 has on them. Particularly, the study focused on neurogenesis, which is brain cell formation and generation. The rats were given high doses of HU210, the THC-like compound, twice a day & everyday for ten days.
After the ten day study, the THC-like compound increased the rate of brain cell formation in the hippocampus by 40%! The hippocampus is the part of the brain used for memory forming, organizing, and storing. Symptoms of anxiety & depression in the rats also appeared to decrease.
While marijuana has been proven to have positive neurological effects, both tobacco & alcohol related studies show that each substance actually decreases brain cell formation. It is atrocious to think about the substances that the U.S. government allows its’ citizens to consume. Tobacco is literally the only legal product that will actually harm you if you use it correctly.
Why is the government heavily opposing marijuana if it increases the rate of brain cell formation? Well, too many people still think of marijuana users as “stupid” and “lazy.” With such a negative outlook on marijuana users, combined with false ideas they have about the medicine, citizens will unknowingly make judgments about marijuana.
More studies like the one presented above need to be released to the public by the mass. If the public knew the positive effects on marijuana, legalization will come much faster. Source: Nugs.com
Places that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States
Multiple places have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States; however, cannabis is illegal under federal law. Gonzales v. Raich (2005) held in a 6-3 decision that the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution allowed the federal government to ban the use of cannabis, including medical use even if local laws allow it. Most places that have decriminalized cannabis have civil fines, drug education, or drug treatment in place of incarceration and/or criminal charges for possession of small amounts of cannabis, or have made various cannabis offenses the lowest priority for law enforcement.
Alaska
In 1975, Alaska removed all penalties for possession (not sale) of cannabis under 4 ounces in one’s residence or home. Also, the ruling allowed up to 24 private, noncommercial growing plants. Sale of less than 28.349 grams is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail and up to a $5,000 fine;[1] at the time, in most states sale of less than 28.349 grams was a felony offense. 2006 court rulings have upheld the legal status of private possession up to the one ounce level relating to the particulars in that specific legal challenge. This leaves the one to four ounce range, and the live plant totals in a confused legal status, presumably involving criminal consequences.
With the 1975 Ravin v. State decision, the Alaska Supreme Court declared the state’s anti-drug law unconstitutional with respect to possession of small amounts of cannabis, holding that the right to privacy guaranteed by the Constitution of Alaska outweighed the state’s interest in banning the drug

Hawaii Marijuana Legalization Bill Dies
A bill that would have legalized marijuana died in the state legislature Tuesday. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Karl Rhoads told the Associated Press he decided to kill it after a head count found the bill would come up short in the House.
The measure, House Bill 669, would have allowed people 21 and over to possess up to an ounce and grow an unspecified number of plants in a secure location. It would also have created a system of taxed and regulated marijuana commerce. It was sponsored by House Speaker Joseph Souki (D-8), leading proponents to hope his support could help push it through the House, but that was not to be.
A public hearing last week saw now familiar arguments reprised. County police departments, the state attorney general and the Coalition for a Drug-Free Hawaii told legislators marijuana was a dangerous drug and that the social costs of legalizing it would be too high, while supporters of the bill, including the ACLU of Hawaii said legalization would save the state money and respect Hawaiians’ freedom of choice. They also argued that pot prohibition disproportionately impacts the state’s minorities.
