Steven (<strong>DOC</strong>) . .<strong>DOC</strong>_- Medicinal Use of Marijuana Appeal':".1 ; ... ,::.,-,.- ..I have r'eviewed Mr._appeal.of the' Department's decision to not authorize his use of medical marijuana.My review included:-The original <strong>request</strong> form 380.200, undated by the ~uthor, with a one page attachment from Dr. Johnson;-An email from Dr. Hammond to you indicating that Mr'-did not meet medical criteria, for medicinal marijuana '(MM)use;""""-A 16 page fax - presumably an appeal - dated 11/19/2008, including:a' cover page (indicating that the fax docl,lment contains 6, not 16 pages),aclinic note, dated 11102/2008a clinic.note with no datea3 page print out entitled "Scoliosis Back Pain"an 8 page print out entitled "Effects of Smoke Marijuana in Experimentally Induced Asthma"another <strong>request</strong> form 380.200, also undated by the author. .'According to the docl!mentation of th~al <strong>request</strong>, Dr. Hammond determined that Mr .-.use of MM did not nieet .<strong>DOC</strong> criteria apparently because Mr .... did not suffer from designated complications of tWo <strong>DOC</strong>-id~ntified diseases.From a purely procedural standpoint, the appeal is flawed. First, the appeal <strong>request</strong> itself, contain~d on <strong>DOC</strong> 380.200 isin<strong>complete</strong>. The required fields, including prescriber signature, date, and prescriber'license number and type are missing.The printed name is illegible, but appears to be similar to the physician name on the attached <strong>two</strong> clinic notes. Second,the seco.nd clinic note, indicating that Mr~_suffers from asthma and chronic intract~!;lle back pain, is undated,Sothese' might have been his diagnoses last week or 20 years ago and no longer active. Third, I question the authenticity ofthe first clinic note date 11102/2008. Unlike every other practitioner note I've ever read, and, notably, unlike the other clinicnote in this packet, it's written in the third person.' .From acli.nical standpoint I offer the following opinions:First, with regard to Mr .•,diag'nOSes requiring tr~atment withMM, the undated clinic note indicates that Mr:_"suffers from "Asthma (spasticity disorder)." NO s~ch disease exists. In the remainder of my report I am going to assumethat there was an error in the report and Mr~_suffers from asthma. .... .Second, the appeal indicates that the. rea:?on for MMis that neither Mr." .. _ .2. back pain nor.asthma are alleviated bystandard therapies. I have difficulty believing that no other analgesics and riO other asthma medications has worked.Further, there is insufficient clinical informatian in the appeal to. support either claim.'As background far the next few items, the Department <strong>request</strong>ed fram Mr.-'prescriber infarmatian published in 'peer-reviewed scientific jaurnals explaining tlie medical evidence far the uS'e'OT'MM in for Mr.~ar anything ather thanthe twa designated diseases. . . .' . . . '. . ..The third apinion, then, is that with regard to Mr. diagnosis af back pain no. such scientific material was provided.The anly informatian that was provided was a pri ',' scaliosis-related back pain. The print out is the text of aquestian and answer session with a dactor who invented a spine brace, obtained at a website '(www.scoliosisbackpain.com).This is not g scientific publication nor is it peeneviewed. From an evidence basedmedicine standpoint, which is haw our profession tries to. make good clinical decisions, it has little to no value.Faurth,even if this publicatian had scientific value, it is nat.relevant to. this patient. The print aut is an the tapic ofscaliosis; the infarmatian we received from Mr._dactar did not indicate Mr. • Illas s~oliasi.s.Fifth, with regard to. the (presumed) diagnasis of asthma, ·Mr .... physician did provide an scientific article fram apeer-reviewed journal regarding the salutary effects af smakinrmariJuana an asthma. Hawever, there are seriaus .shortcomings af thiS article. First of all, it was a study an anly8 subjects. Secand, it tested the effect af a single timesmoking marijuana on asthma. It is well knawn that chronic smoking (af anything) makes asthma worse, and this is even,nated in the article itself. Third, the study was dane in 1975. There have been tremendous strides in the care af asthma in1000205


the ·Iast 33 years that don't involve marijuana. Lastly, the article about smoked marijuana is not relevant to or helpful in Mr.~ case since the Department would only allow Mr ~o use oral, not smoked marijuana.Thus, in conclusion, I do not find 'sufficient evidence of a clinical necessity for marijuana in Mr._ case.Marc F.

Karen lam told that there continues to I?e someconfusion about the LIse by prescription of marinol~ It appears that some CCOsbelievethatin order for an offender to' use marinor they must gothrough the "exce'ption ,.review" that we have, developed for the use of leaf MJ for medicinal uses. ,Unlike leafMJ ,if an offender has a prescription for Marlnol a synthetic from of THC we cannotregulate, limit or prohibit it's use. Accordingly we have no authority to require'the. ,Joffender who has a prescription for madnol to go through our exception review. While Ido understand that if an offender is using marinol they will test positive for THe unles,swe have firm ,evidence that the p'ositive reading is from the use of leaf MJ rather thanmarinol we may not cite nor violate them. I hope this helps.

December 3,2008Secretary Eldon VailW ~shington State Department of Corrections7345 Liriderson Way, SWTuqlwater,WA 98501-:6504Dear Secretary Vail:"Would that I had written you directly this .past spring; rather than filled out one of yourdepartrriental complaint fonns online. This latter resulted in some modest help for aformer tenant of mine, w40 was also a party injured by your department; but none for me ..So I am going t6 try again.This past May a rec~nt tenant ~nd friendly acqua~ntaD.c~ who, like me~ is authorized in .Washington to use marijuana me_.Vi.a. s.

The friend,_is 011. inten~tate compact .probation from Arizona, which she tliouglifwasafsoa'tnedical marijuana state, but isn't.i.· She was roughly and uJ,1fairly removed from my home to the county jai1.downtown whereshe spent a truly miser!:i.ple week with no contact from you whatsoever. The paperWork"was filled with inaccuracies, and further moves by her ceo, Jeremy Praven in West .Seattle,seem also to be filled with fabrications and are utterly unworthy of any decentgovernment.Some small progress is bei~g made toward redressing these wrongs. If they aren'tresolved, a suit will do it. They are not why I am writing yoil now. You are the only onewho can fix this. ( . . .I'm writing because I want the other eeo - the tall, gorgeous one who came with Pravenan~ did the arrest - to'be censured for tellIng me, and I quote, '''1 was just coming to talkto her, but since you said 'Please' I'm taking her in." There were a few witnesses. That isexactly what he said; and of course I, a 63 year old middle class woman with a lovely· home and every expectation of civility on the part of officers of the law, started to groveland beg. But all 1 had done was say out loud, as an addition,- after he very rudely· commanded my tenant, from the door of my home, t6 descend the stairs, in a tone iwould have thought normal on a seventeenth century slave plantation, out in the fields":'"" ..... please! " as 'one would to a child who had quite forgotten his manners.000462


Now, I have no idea whether he was intending to take_n anyway or not. I justwant him told that Ms.~as not way out of line to <strong>request</strong> civility, that,she deservedbetter, and thatiL'i\'ouldn't kill him to apologize.

WeVe had at least one case' come through on the 14-053 for marino!. I thinkthat's helpful because if we had a case that truly met medical necessity criteria for marinol, that might be areasonable excuse for the positive UAs. However, the medically necessary reasons for using marinol are.few and far between, basically intractable nausea/vomiting during·cancer chemotherapy or severe weightloss in someone with AIDS.

I called andtalked with a lab specialist from Sterling Reference Lab's the other day and was tqld they could notdifferentiate between Marinol and actual Marijuana.so basically we can't tell if the offender is taking his .medication or smoking weed.
