    The World Health Organization released a study in March 1998 that states: "there are good reasons for saying that [the risks from cannabis] would be unlikely to seriously [compare to] the public health risks of alcohol and tobacco even if as many people used cannabis as now drink alcohol or smoke tobacco."

    Government Legal Protection
    US CA: Grover Family Busted for Medical Pot

    The police report was completed with no mention of the suspects'
    medical status or the phone call to Dr. Denney. Lt. Brian Thomas
    maintained that "no medical documentation was provided to the arresting
    officers at the scene," although he does not deny that a phone call was made
    to "someone claiming to be a doctor."


    Cop Out - Grover Beach police officer Brian Thomas was no hero

    "During a search of Thomas�s Nipomo residence, sheriff�s investigators collected a variety of items, including computers and boxes of pornographic material. According to sources close to the case, sufficient evidence was gathered at the home, and from victim interviews, to justify at least two felony charges. Sheriff�s Sgt. Ron Hasty, supervisor of detectives, declines comment on the Thomas investigation other than to say, �We�re still closing up a few loose ends.� But others familiar with the probe say the charges would have included child molestation and bestiality."

    "Six days before Christmas, allegations of �physical and sexual abuse� were reported to the SLO County Child Protective Services (CPS), a division of the county�s Social Services Department. According to the sworn affidavit, ten days passed before that agency notified the sheriff�s department of the allegations. Social Services director Lee Collins says abuse cases involving a minor are handled either on an �immediate response� or a �ten-day response� basis. CPS waited ten days, though the reasons for that remain unclear. Laws protecting young victims of sexual molestation prohibit Collins and CPS officials from discussing the Thomas case. Some sources familiar with the subsequent investigation say the victims traveled out of state as soon as the allegations were made, but that cannot be confirmed. It is clear, however, that the sheriff�s department waited 12 more days before launching an active investigation."
