Boliver, MO — In December of last year, medical marijuana was officially legalized in Missouri—sort of. The legislation, titled Amendment 2, would establish 192 medical marijuana dispensaries by 2020. Those who need that medical marijuana now—like cancer patients, epileptics, glaucoma patients, those suffering from PTSD, and others—will still be prosecuted by police if they try to get it. As the following incident shows, police will even raid cancer patients in the hospital for using it. Nolan’s Tribe of Warriors Against Cancer is a Facebook page setup to follow the life of Nolan, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year. The page contains the following description of how the last year has played out for Nolan and his family: Memorial Day 2018, Nolan was admitted to the hospital for jaundice and a blockage. 4 days in the hospital and no clear answers, a week later Nolan went to see an oncologist who broke the news of cancer to him for the first time. The journey began, many testing, many doctors, and none of them telling us what we wanted to hear. The prognosis was bleak, but Nolan was determined to keep fighting. His journey led him to Boliver, Mo with Dr Leo Shunyakov. Dr. Leo gave Nolan hope and reason to believe he could win this fight. During his uphill battle against cancer, Nolan began to substitute opioids with THC capsules as they are far safer. However, despite the fact that Missouri recently passed a medical marijuana bill, cops are still more than willing to go after those who’d dare to attempt to save their lives with this plant—so they raided Nolan’s hospital room—as he filmed the interaction. As several Boliver police officers were raiding his room, rummaging through the family’s private property in search of a plant that was technically legalized in December, Nolan tell the officers how it was passed and that the state just has to finish all the paperwork to make it entirely legal. Being that Nolan has pancreatic cancer right now, he can’t wait for the slow moving rusty cogs of the state to turn before he can use it. As one cop stands there, acting like he’s some hero for raiding the hospital room of a cancer patient, Nolan asks him what he would do if he had cancer. “Medically, in Missouri, it’s legal, they just haven’t finished the paperwork,” says Nolan. He’s then interrupted by the officer, who tells him, “okay, well, it is still illegal.” “Tell me what you’d do,” Nolan says, asking the officer to step into his shoes for a second. “I’m not in that situation, so I’m not gonna play these ‘what if’ games,” the officer replies. “You wouldn’t do anything to save your life?” asks Nolan. “Marijuana is saving your life?” the cop replies in a sarcastic tone. Nolan’s family then tells him to calm down, but he refuses and tells the cops that the THC capsules he takes are in place of the dangerous opioids he was prescribed and his doctors know all about it. As the infuriating situation continues to unfold, a doctor walks in who then begins to question the cops herself. She asks them if they have probable cause to be searching her patient and they claim they do because they “smelled marijuana.” Nolan explains that it would be impossible for them to smell it as he does not smoke it and only takes the oil in capsules. Eventually, the officers search every bag in the room and find nothing. They then turn their attention to a bag that Nolan has in his hospital bed. Nolan refuses to allow them to search the bag and tells them to issue him a citation instead. The video then ends before we see what happens. We do know that Nolan was not arrested as he put out an hour long video explaining his position the next night. Luckily, the only thing cops seemed to ruin for this terminally ill cancer patient, was a good night’s sleep. As you watch the following video, notice how many times the term “just doing their jobs” is thrown around. These cops didn’t want to be there, but they have been conditioned to enforce the law no matter how immoral that law is. Therein lies the problem with the American drug war. If ever there was a video showing you this disgusting and horrific nature of enforcing the war on drugs, it is the video below. The infuriating irony about this raid on a hospital room is the fact that had Nolan been taking opioids—that kill 150 Americans every single day—instead of THC, that’s killed no one ever, the cops would’ve been just fine with it.

Well, I am sure the citizens of that little berg certainly feel safer after the hero's went after a dying cancer patient. They really earned their pay check that night. I just want to know if the proud hero's went home safe ??

Since Deckard is unavailable to timely answer such an important concern. I feel compelled by the social force that binds me to step in to provide an immediate answer to you, by stating … Yes. Yes, they did. And I feel sure that if they knew, they would be most pleased with your deep and sincere show of concern.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight !!! LOL !!!

This is funny. I don’t care who you are or what your position is on legalizing marijuana. This statement is a proclamation like saying "you’re half-pregnant." OK, so it must seem blindingly obvious, but you’re either pregnant or you’re not. You can’t be half-pregnant. It therefore also must seem blindingly obvious, that marijuana either is or is not legal in Missouri. Not “sort of.” Get real here …
Missouri made medical marijuana legal, but most doctors don't want any part of it Joshua Mammen, a Kansas City area cancer surgeon, has a plan for when patients ask him for medical marijuana. He'll discuss the symptoms they want to treat. And then he will propose alternatives. Voters may have overwhelmingly approved medical marijuana by constitutional amendment last week. But all the state's major physician groups—including the Kansas City Medical Society, of which Mammen is president—opposed every marijuana measure on the ballot. Now the amendment's passage makes doctors the gatekeepers of legal marijuana in Missouri, a role most of them didn't want. And if other states are any indication, a small minority of doctors will be willing to recommend medical marijuana, and those who do may have booming businesses. Most doctors don't think of marijuana as medicine, at least not in its raw plant form. The medical groups say that although certain parts of the cannabis plant have legitimate medical uses, medical marijuana programs like Missouri's provide access to products that aren't sold in standard dosages or purities. Essentially, patients don't know what they're getting, so it's impossible for doctors to measure the risks against the benefits. The marijuana card, therefore, becomes more like a permission slip than a prescription. Mammen said he prescribes medications derived from plants all the time, including some derived from parts of the cannabis plant. But those are regulated, standardized products vetted by the Food and Drug Administration, not a raw plant of unknown composition. Still, he said he expects doctors will soon have patients asking them to sign off on their applications for marijuana cards from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. "If you follow what's happened in other states, that's very typical," Mammen said. "Based upon the publicity, individuals will go to their physicians and ask for marijuana, which actually puts physicians in a little bit of a difficult spot because there's a lack of data to indicate when is a potentially good time, if there is one, to be able to suggest the use of marijuana." Marijuana research has been hampered because the federal government deems it a Schedule I controlled substance. But it has shown promise in treating pain and psychiatric or neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease, and some parts of the plant have already been incorporated into FDA-approved products for treating epilepsy and for nausea caused by chemotherapy. But Mammen said marijuana, like other drugs or even herbal supplements, can interact dangerously with other medications patients might be taking, and doctors also need to be concerned about side effects like vomiting or, for people with mental illness, psychotic episodes. He said he hopes that when the state develops a medical marijuana application form, it doesn't ask doctors to explicitly recommend marijuana, but rather just asks them to confirm that patients have conditions that qualify them for the card. Some doctors in the state are more receptive. In a 2016 survey conducted by the Kansas City Medical Society, 50 of 109 respondents said they would recommend it marijuana it were legal. But the survey was unscientific because it was voluntary—not a random sample—and less than 5 percent of the organization's about 2,500 members responded. Missouri Rep. Jim Neely, a family physician from Cameron, north of Kansas City, has been one of the leading proponents in the state legislature. He sponsored a bill this year to legalize smokeless marijuana for patients with terminal illnesses. "Marijuana's everywhere anyway," he said. "We've got to find a better way of dealing with it." The bill didn't pass. Neely didn't respond to a request for comment for this story. If patients have trouble finding doctors to recommend marijuana, at least one Missouri business is stepping in to help. Missouri Medical Marijuana, headquartered in Columbia, was founded the day after the election, with the goal of creating an online directory of doctors and dispensaries—or "a Yelp! for the legal medical marijuana industry in Missouri." "We're super excited about the election results and can't wait to get the ball rolling," said founder Brian Klug. Doctors who are willing to write marijuana recommendations have found a lot of business in other states. A Michigan doctor estimated last month that his clinic had performed 70,000 to 80,000 exams for medical marijuana cards after he moved there when the law passed in 2008. It will be probably a year before the Missouri health department has finished writing rules and Missourians can walk into dispensaries in the state and buy medical marijuana. The Missouri State Medical Association, which represents the state's doctors, had opposed the marijuana ballot measures. Now Jeff Howell, the group's head of government relations in Jefferson City, said he's already hearing from concerned doctors, and the association will provide input on the rule-making process. Howell doesn't want the process to be like Oklahoma, where the state medical association demanded strict restrictions—including a ban on smokeable products— which spurred lawsuits and the intervention of the state attorney general to make sure the public's vote was respected. But he said his organization wants to make sure the commercial aspects of medical marijuana don't reflect poorly on the medical profession, with a few "fly-by-night" doctors making it their main source of income. "The important thing for me is that it doesn't turn into Venice Beach (California), where you have storefronts that say 'Come in and get your marijuana card,'" Howell said.
Oh, NO. Here we are back to being half pregnant again. It either was or was not legalized in December. And it was NOT. It will be legalized in 2020.
There were only two Boliver police officers, not "several" ...
Well Tater, I know you hate being wrong, but you better watch the video again. There were THREE ( 3 ). One standing near the door, one standing against the wall at the foot of the bed, and one that was active doing the search. Sorry Tater !!

Why in the world would you apologize to tater? This old man can't read and is losing his mind.
Now you did it - Tater will now claim that three is not "several". Two is a "couple" and more than two or three is several. Of course we don't see the SWAT team in body armor with assault rifles who were likely waiting out in the hall itching to go in and wreak havoc on an elderly cancer patient.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. He lost his mind years ago.

Yeah, his delusion will continue. For him, the thought that it was proven in front of everyone that he was wrong, will cause him to have an emotional breakdown, or maybe his head will explode !! He may end up being in a straight jacket before morning. Oh well, he needs a dose of reality, instead of his little fantasy!

And I repeat: There were only two Bolivar police officers. For I have been wrong before. I distinctly remember that it did happen once ten years and I can’t recall any time before that. Because I know what I stating is correct. There were ONLY two (2) Bolivar police offices. WRONG. Yes, the person in uniform standing against the wall at the foot of the bed was a Bolivar police officer. And yes, the person in uniform that was active doing the search was also a Bolivar police officer. But the person in uniform standing near the door was the Hospital Security Officer. But it was nice her hear you say that you are “sorry” anyway. It was very becoming of you …
You are a fucking nutcase.
Now you did it - Tater will now claim that three is not "several". You are wrong. I will truthfully state once again that there were only two Bolivar police officers. [Here is my virtual pat on the head for you]. O du lieber Deckard – Is because there were none.
Why are you so sure the citizens feel safer? Oh, I guess you can call it a “berg” since Bolivar, Missouri's estimated population is 10,885 according to the most recent United States census estimates. I would not say about this response by the Bolivar two police officers to a call when a “security guard and a nurse both indicated that ‘complaints’ of marijuana odor prompted them to confront the family and call police” – that they [the police officers] “went after a dying cancer patient.” But you can if you want to – and you did. Furthermore, I can’t see how the citizens of this “berg” can feel safe anytime when: The city violent crime rate for Bolivar in 2016 was higher than the national violent crime rate average by 84.39% and the city property crime rate in Bolivar was higher than the national property crime rate average by 142.78%. In 2016 the city violent crime rate in Bolivar was higher than the violent crime rate in Missouri by 40.98% and the city property crime rate in Bolivar was higher than the property crime rate in Missouri by 112.57%. Can you? With that crime rate, I’d say the really earn their pay check every night. Ya think? I would say the citizens of Bolivar feel they do. And after all, those Bolivar citizens are the only ones who really count in that.
It was you who was seeing three Bolivar police officers when there were only two. Now – Now that’s a delusion.
Suddenly it got very quiet on this thread. I can only wonder why ...
Because you are a fuckup.
Because you are a fuckup.
Because you are a fuckup. Geesh - have you ever seen a bigger attention whore than Tater? Nobody responds to his posts in five minutes and he has a meltdown.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Since there was nothing ever here with this article and I embarassed all of you - Have at it ...
Summary - The video shows two Bolivar police officers and an officer who was a CMH security guard, present in Sousley's hospital room. Police are shown searching Sousley's bags. Sousley refuses to let them search one of his bags. He later allowed that. Off camera, the hospital security officer says, "I smelled marijuana whenever I walked in the room." A nurse also made that report. Earlier in the video, Sousley admits to consuming something "in the parking lot." On Saturday, Amber Kidwell and Sousley had been out in the parking lot. She said she smoked a tobacco cigarette and Sousley smoked a Blackstone vanilla tobacco cigar. They were aware this was against policy at CMH, she said, which has signs indicating it's a smoke-free campus. In a brief argument with Sousley captured on the video, the officers say they did not plan to take him to jail, but they would issue a citation if they found marijuana in his bags. The security guard and a nurse indicated that "complaints" of marijuana odor prompted them to confront the family and call police. The video does not capture a conversation that took place after Sousley stopped filming. Sousley had CBD oil with him at the time the video was filmed, it was confirmed. Finding no marijuana in the room, the CBD oil was not confiscated. So what we have here is a much to do about nothing. A security officer and a nurse both smelled marijuana in the room and called the police. The police found none after a search and left leaving the CBD oil with Sousley. This article and the allegations contained therein is a fucking joke.
Unlike others on LF, I have realized you are a self-aggrandizing asshole spreading for yukon.
And you’ve sucked off Dicktard, Hondope and Fred’s AssHertz so often, you have paultard mangoo running out of all of your orifices. It’s why your name is BuckerGoo.

Maybe we should start to go a little easier on him since he appears to be on the edge of insanity.
In this conciliatory message to you I will say that you should try not to feel too badly about making your overzealous remarks. I set you up knowing that you would eagerly and with great enthusiasm tear into me thinking you had a “gotcha” on me and that I had made a big boo-boo mistake. I could have easily stretched the exchange out and let you continue with your responses and dig yourself into a much deeper hole. But I decided not to do that because it became too embarrassing for you with your fervently passionate intensity to go after me. Use this experience as a learning situation and remember to check for facts and that will prevent you from going off on a tangent again. So, shrug it off for tomorrow is a new day and you can start over. Just be more careful to learn the facts before you jump in next tune …
Internet Tough Guy, there? He's a total fag or a basement-dweller, with a high chance of being a redneck and/or skinhead. Sometimes, the Internet Tough Guy will actually be somewhat "tough." However, this makes him about four times more of a total fag. The sad reality is that these people are a concentrated form of noob, not one of whom can grasp the concept that they obviously are never actually going to be able to make good on their intimidating remarks, or that their low-IQ ramblings do not impress the Internet nor physically affect people on it in any way. More simply put, when nobodies such as themselves make empty threats and loudmouthed, prick statements to unknown persons whom they have never met and do not know the locations of, it does not equal being a badass, becoming dominant to the other users, nor actually going full ass-rape/ass-kick on someone.

Learn to spell correctly.
You meant to reply to this post by GrandIsland, didn't you Tater? And you’ve sucked off Dicktard, Hondope and Fred’s AssHertz so often, you have paultard mangoo running out of all of your orifices. It’s why your name is BuckerGoo. You're an effing hypocrite! Anyone with this kind of obsession with semen, dicks and men's asses is most likely a closeted homosexual. And yet you cheer the scatological posts and obvious emotionally-challenged behaviour of the documented sociopath known as GrandIsland. Then again, being one yourself, you've always sided with the obsessively rude and obnoxious assholes on these fora.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Please be outspoken with your posts. Here is one example:

You have also come to realize that you have finally found you can’t stop thinking about me – What I do or what I say and how totally bewildered and hurt you are by my actions. You have found that I can hurt you by my mere words and by completely ignoring you from time to time. I say simple things in ways that confound you and you can do nothing but focus on it for hours or days. You simply don’t know how to deal with this trauma and you see it as abuse. I am speaking of the day-to-day interaction we have here that leave you mentally sputtering. You cannot stop me being caught up in your thoughts as those thoughts keep looping back, rewinding and playing through your mind again and again – all the while realizing there is absolutely nothing you can do about it while you remain miserable.
