  • PATIENTSIN the CROSSFIRE Casualties in the War on Medical Marijuana
    PATIENTSIN THE CROSSFIRE Casualties in the War on Medical Marijuana Americans for Safe Access © Copyright 2004, Americans for Safe Access, Berkeley, California In loving memory of Cheryl Miller, Asha Davis and Harry McBride, this book is dedicated to all the people who might have been helped by medical marijuana but were denied it. Patients in the Crossfire was largely inspired by the book, Shattered Lives: Portraits From America's Drug War by Mikki Norris, Chris Conrad and Virginia Resner (Creative Xpressions, 2000). Many of the patients' stories and photos included in this publication were adapted from Shattered Lives and their other works -- Human Rights and the US Drug War (2001) and photo exhibit project (see www.hr95.org) that put a human face on the casualties of the Drug War. In addition, Mikki Norris put out a call to solicit new stories of patient harassment at the hands of the government and wrote up many of the stories that responded to this call. She contributed greatly to the making of this project and we appreciate her hard work. Her dedication is an inspiration.
