Before 1996, the thought of legal medical marijuana may have seemed like a waste of time for patients. The previous decades had come down hard on marijuana, creating a social stigma. However with new prevalent medical conditions arising such as AIDS/HIV, during the 1980s and 1990s,chronically ill patients were seeking out alternative treatments for their discomfort. Dennis Peron witnessed first hand, how marijuana could be used medically to alleviate symptoms of AIDS. His partner, Jonathan West, had used marijuana to cope with his pain from the disease. Peron gathered momentum for medical marijuana by assisting in the creation of Proposition P, a San Francisco medical marijuana initiative. This initiative was simply to display the overwhelming support for possible future legislation. Proposition P had no legal authority, but with over 75% of voters supporting it, momentum was clearly gained. Other cities followed suit, but more substantive measures that would actually legalize medical marijuana were vetoed by then Governor, Pete Wilson. With the help of philanthropists, Peron and others were able to secure enough signatures to land medical marijuana on the ballot. This was no easy task as many high profile politicians organized their own efforts to persuade California residents to vote against Proposition 215. The bill was passed with over 55% approval. Now for the first time in over 60 years, there were laws within the United States permitting the use of marijuana. Under Proposition 215 qualifying patients with prescriptions would be protected from state laws that otherwise outlawed the use of marijuana. Under state law, doctors too would not be subjected to any penalties for prescribing medical marijuana and caregivers were offered protection for providing marijuana to patients. However, Proposition 215 makes it very clear that these medical guidelines werenot created to provide a sense that marijuana was legal for social use. Patients however, were pleased with this victory after decades of struggle. Health-is-Wealth.org
