A lot of Bluelighters (even those of us who seldom use rec drugs nowadays) have always held hopes that one day the user would be offered some dignity and a right to partake of substances he/she chooses. It seems like such a terrible injustice to reprimand someone because they decide to to swallow an E, smoke a joint, or snort a line simply for PURE enjoyment.
We tend to think of Illicit drugs as those substance which pertain to recreational enjoyment - labeled the abusable chemicals and plants which have no medicinal value.
But stop for a minute and think about those people who could benefit in a more essential way. It's hard to imagine that if there was a substance that has been known to cure cancer, that it would be banned.
Some weeks ago a far flung associate called around to say that a mate of his was -without permission- importing a health product designed to cure or protect against cancer. His wife had been cured and he was disobeying regulations in order to provide others with the substance. Within a moment I realized that this was the natural source of B 17, a vitamin produced in apricot kernels.
~~~~~~~~~~ 2 examples of a different kind of "dope" tale.
Between 1986-89 my wife and I owned and ran a small HiFi shop. Over this time I had various people do outside work for me such as installations, repairs etc. One of the best workers was a guy was in his early fifties; a very conservative (religious) father of 4.
His youngest son, at 19 months, had been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, a normally fatal disease, which in many cases does not respond well to conventional therapies. Regular chemotherapy left him sick and agitated. His father recalled how the toxic chemical once spilled from the syringe onto his arm, where it burned into his skin and left a scar which remains to this day.
After several months of treatment no improvement was noticed. My friend, being a very active seeker of the truth, turned away from conventional treatment - against advice of the strongly coercive hospital fraternity - to a compound noted as having amazing results when treating this type of cancer. But the red tape he went through was daunting to say the least. After sending a lot of money to Mexico, some was dispatched and arrived in Sydney some weeks later. His brother went to pick it up, but it was held by customs as no approval had been granted. Meanwhile the lump on the baby's neck grew to the size of a small football and was at that stage restricting his breathing.
My friend drove to Canberra and with much difficulty (and threats) he received clearance for the drug. Within 2 weeks of administration (under the guide of a health professional) the lump receded and eventually disappeared completely. He's now a healthy young man and has been in remission ever since. My friend gave the remaining B 17 to the practitioner, who was willing to administer this illegally to other patients.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tale # 2
A very dear friend of both my wife and I - someone I've known well for 25 years - a few years ago had the unthinkable happen. His eldest daughter at age 11 developed a Melanoma which spread from her head very quickly to other areas of her body including the lymph nodes. He was told conventional medicine had nothing to offer her.
This began a great battle for his family. He sold his 50,000+ record collection, cashed in bonds and eventually sold his house and spent all their savings in attempt to find a cure. They travelled the country in search for alternative cures. Time and time again B 17 came up. He concluded without a doubt that it was the one thing that may help. But he was told he could not import it, and no doctor he could find was willing to support his cause through the TGA, which is required in order for a patient to obtain it legally.
Being such a law abiding citizen his only choice was to to travel with his daughter to a country which does allow the use of B 17. This was Japan.
To cut a long story short, she too is now in complete remission, and lives a full and happy life. The parents now both work full time again, in counselling of all things. They had previously retired, but the costs of the ordeal had exhausted all their savings.

So what's the deal with this stuff? One would think that it must be very risky stuff to use, have a high potential for poisoning or something. Or else there is something far more sinister behind it's scheduling.
You see the thing is, all I've been able to find on this substance indicates the contrary. IF cancer cells are present, it seems to work by releasing cyanide at the location of the cancer. BUT if the literature is to be believed, cyanide is only released in the presence of beta-glucosidase, an enzyme only present in cancer cells. Anyone who doesn't have cancer will simply not produce cyanide by taking B 17. BTW, B12 contains the cyanide radical, but you don't see that banned, nor hear of cyanide poisoning from taking it.
What's even more disgusting - and no-doubt reflects Mr Beatty's blind approach to rational law making - is that even with a TGA permit, you cannot legally import this product or possess it in Queensland
The paper work involved (for Qld approval) states that you basically must be in the final stages of life and all conventional means of therapy must first be exhausted. In other words, not until you're almost dead do you qualify
So why hasn't the medical fraternity leaped onto this seemingly marvelous cure? Perhaps it's the old qustion of economics. B 17 (Amydalin) cannot be patented by the big pharmaceutical giants? I'll leave you to decide.
Amydalin (aka Laetrile or Vitamin B17)
Check out this informative site for more information on B 17 and places where metastatic patients may obtain treatment.
Sorry if this seems out of place here, but the cause for legalising rec drugs must be seen to be of a low priority when considering how remedies for real suffering and life threatening ailments are basically ignored.
I now have a new cause to fight for. It may not be any easier, but more noise needs to be made about it. And, unless conflicting studies indicate otherwise, Big Heads need to roll
