He testified recently in Penn. during medical marijuana hearings. I guess Mr. Murray was too busy wielding his drug warrior dumbchucks to speak with Rosenfeld, a stock broker in Miami who attributes his very life to his ability to smoke copious amounts of marijuana, daily, while going about his work, teaching sailing, and testifying before committees about the value of medical marijuana.

Irvin Rosenfeld (in testimony before the Senate in Penn.) held up a tin filled with hundreds of marijuana cigarettes in Senate Hearing Room 1 and told the committee that the medicine saved his life. The Florida stock broker has been using medical marijuana since the '70s to treat a bone tumor disorder.

"There was a program that started in 1977, Robert Randall was the first patient, I was number two. I was able to prove that this medicine worked better than the conventional medicines for me and somehow I won hearings before the FDA and I became the second patient. It is difficult because the Federal Government does not want people to understand that they are giving it out, so they really kind of kept it quiet," said Irvin Rosenfeld, Federal Medical Cannabis Patient.

The Federal Government considers marijuana a schedule one drug. "The Federal Government says it is schedule one and has no medical benefit, which is a hypocrisy. They have been giving it to me for this long and I am doing fantastic. I have not had a tumor grow or a new one develop since I was 21 and I am 61-years-old, " said Rosenfeld.

If Mr. Murray could have his way, Rosenfeld would be dead now, too. Like Peter McWilliams.
