RUN FROM THE CURE- the Rick Simpson Story
Mr. Simpson's controversial "Phoenix Oil" is claimed to cure cancer and many other diseases. I do not know if his claims are accurate or not. However, I have gathered quite a bit of evidence that cannabis DOES have curative powers. Whether they are as miraculous as Mr. Simpson claims has yet to be proven. I do believe that his oil should be given an HONEST trial.
I would strongly caution people about the solvents that are used. They are toxic and explosive. It would not do you or your loved ones any good if you were brain-damaged from inhaling the fumes, or blown up! PLEASE- ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION! BE TWICE AS CAREFUL AS YOU THINK YOU NEED TO BE!
And now for all those who are on "dial up" and hate the download time, or have friends that don't have a computer, but need to know about Phoenix Oil- here's the transcript, as prepared by yours truly! The numbers in parentheses are the time markers, so you can find certain parts of the film. (4:20) is 4 minutes and 20 seconds into the film, for example.

Healing Hemp Oil
For over a century, big business and pharmaceuticals companies worldwide have withhold the cure for cancer and countless other medical conditions....All in the interest of personal profit. Rick Simpson rediscovered the cure for cancer and shared it with as many people as he could.... free of charge. (1:44)
Eric Donkin:
"When people have to suffer because money, or people making money, or whatever- that's just not right."
Cecil "Pooey" Hoeg:
"When the doctor can't cure ya, and ya want to get cured, you're going to try anything, aren'tcha! I was willing to give it a shot, yes. I'd give it two shots!"
Rick Dwyer:
Change your life- come and take some real medicine! Medicine that is safe and works for a change. (2:06)
(text) Run From the Cure- the Rick Simpson Story Second edition
Rick Simpson:
"My name is Rick Simpson. I live at 344 Little Forks Road just outside of Maccan, Nova Scotia. I'm here to tell you about the most medicinal plant known to man! Hemp! Oils made from the hemp plant are the most medicinally active substances found in nature."
"Up until about 85 years ago, hemp medicines were widely used all over the world. Many drug companies in the 1800s and early 1900s produced hemp medicines for decades. Hemp is a plant; therefore it cannot be patented. To drug companies, no patent means no money, hence, no interest in producing this drug.
"When you examine bud from the hemp plant, you can see that it is covered in resin. This resin makes the bud appear to be covered in frost. This resin is the medicine. When collected and processed properly, the resulting oil is an effective cure or control for practically any disease known to man- even cancer! We have supplied this oil to dozens of people with cancer, even people who were diagnosed with terminal cancer diagnosed by our medical system, now have a clean bill of health after treatment with hemp medicine! When working with this medicine, medical miracles are a common occurrence. "
(text)- Read Jim's Cancer Journey" on line @ www.phoenixtears.ca (3:49)
"This oil has brought many people right off their death beds! Due to the restrictions put in place by our government against this medicine, we feel that it is our duty to inform the public how they can make their own. In reality, this medicine should be produced on a grand scale in a controlled environment, using the highest quality starting material. Producing hemp medicine in this manner, would stabilize the potency of this medication, plus any danger associated with this medicine could be eliminated."

"High potency hemp oil can be produced right in your own home or workshop. Later in this video we will show you how this can be accomplished observing simple rules of safety. We do not approve of, or condone this method due to the safety issues involved and we bear no responsibility if this information is misused!

"If you, or someone you care about have a life threatening medical condition, that our medical system has failed to help, there is a very good chance that hemp oil is the answer to your problems. There are three different ways to use the oil as a medication, you can ingest it, you can vaporize it, or you can use it topically. But for ___ internal diseases, like cancer, lung cancer and that type of thing, the internal treatment works magnificently. (5:22)
Eric Donkin- 4 open heart surgeries, 5 pacemakers-
"Well, I've had 4 open heart surgeries and probably... 5 pacemakers. I've been through the mill as far as medical stuff goes. And I started taking this, because my father was taking it for his cancer- which he doesn't have any more- but.. this came along- it worked perfect! It lets me do a day's work, or as much as I can safely. Let's face it, after 4 open hearts, you are still limited to what you can do. But, I go all day...wife and I 4 wheeler all over the place...we have...it virtually gave me my life back without the pain!" (5:58)
Rick Dwyer- depression and anxiety/ chronic back pain-
"I have suffered from major depression since the age of 27. I suffer from anxiety attacks. I've also had three back injuries with constant aching in my back, and that for years. And when I took this medicine, uh, it seemed to take the aching from my back. It seems to cut down the panic attacks, and as of late, as I keep going on, it just seems to better and better- my depression and anxiety attacks. (6:27)
Debbie Donkin- abnormal mole
"I had a huge mole on my shoulder. It was black and dotted (?) ,and had a crusty...it wasn't a natural mole and I'd been sorta concerned about it. And actually, knowing from Rick mentioning that it cured skin cancer, and removed stuff like that, I decided to put a little oil on my mole and see if it worked. So I put a little band-aid over it, I only applied for three days, and then another four, and then in two weeks it was completely gone! (6:56)
Cecil "Pooey" Hoeg- melanoma skin cancer.
"Well, I had skin cancer, melanoma cancer, they told me. I was treated time after time. I was burnt several times- I call it burnt, they have another name for it. But anyway, they burnt several times- and uh it wasn't doing no good. All the salve they gave me, and I put it on, and put it on. So, I run across this guy they call Ricky Simpson, Well, you see my face, I know it's all wrinkled up, but there's no big holes in it! (7:25)
Margaret Dwyer- migraines, ovarian cyst, arthritis, skin allergies, bowel disorders,
"I use hemp oil for a number of conditions, migraine headaches, a cyst on my ovary, bad, bad skin allergies, snoring, upset stomach, diarrhea bad, something's wrong with my bowls- it's helped with every condition I had. (7:47)
James Albert Leblanc-terminal cancer
"I had two months to live. I was cashing in. I didn't care, then I got ahold of Rick who explained it... how this stuff works. The chemo and the radiation just kills everything inside of you. It doesn't give you a chance to live. And then when I look at my hemp oil, that's why I am setting here today, telling you that hemp oil does work! (smiles) (8:21)
(text) WHAT DOES HEMP OIL WORK ON?
Rick Simpson-
"Skin conditions, cancer, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, chronic pain, burns, ulcers, warts and moles, any condition involving mutating cells, migraine headaches, asthma, insomnia, anxiety and depression, it works to regulate your weight. It heals scar tissue. It rejuvenates vital organs. In fact I would like someone to show me what it CAN'T heal! (8:50)
Larry Bjarnason: Phoenix Tears Researcher
"When we began, Rick asked me to find out if there was...any...detrimental effects to the hemp oil. As we searched, we couldn't find any. And research kept coming back with all the good aspects of the medicine. And as we kept looking, then we ran into Dr. Guezmann in Spain , who's done research since 1999 in hemp oil, the International Cannabinoid Research Society has been researching it for 17 years. They have research papers, from various researchers and research organizations, including Health Canada. Well, in our research, we haven't been able to find anything that appears detrimental, everything is beneficial from the oil.
"Cannabis and hemp traditionally have been used to treat alcoholics and recovering drug addicts. And it hasn't changed over the years, they are still using it in some cases. But most medical facilities don't recognize it. I believe they don't recognize the product because of the disinformation handed to them over the years. It's touted as a malicious drug, rather than a medicine. In the research we have, the most amazing part of the product is the medicinal value to it.
(text) HEMP HAS BEEN USED IN MEDICINE FOR ALMOST 5,000 YEARS!
"Especially in the eastern countries, yet "mainstream medicine" refuses to recognize the validity of it." (10:18)
Rick Simpson:
"To any one that would say that I am nothing but a high class drug dealer, uh, to that I would just have to laugh! Drug dealers, they sell it for a big price and they make the money. I've been giving it away since 2003. I'd have to be the stupidest drug dealer in history to give it away, now wouldn't I? How'd ya make any money if you're giving it away? "
Christian- interviewer
(laughing) Well, that's exactly right.
Rick Simpson:
"I'm just trying to help people. That's what it's all about. I want people to know how to heal themselves.
(text) "I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW TO HEAL THEMSELVES." - RICK SIMPSON
"In 1975, I was listening to CKDH radio, when the announcer came on with a report THC in marijuana and/or hemp plant killing cancer cells. Three years previously, in 1972, I had watched my 25-year-old cousin die a horrible death from cancer. So when I heard this report, it certainly caught my attention! But time goes by, and I never hear anything more about those reports, so I assumed the report I heard could not be true, or the system would be using THC to cure cancer!"
"In 1997, I received a serious head injury at work. doctors put me on prescription drugs, but these drugs did nothing to alleviate my condition. And many of the drugs had horrible side effects."
(text) POST CONCUSSIVE SYNDROME (11:38)
"In late 1988, I watched an episode of "The Nature of Things" entitled "Reefer Madness II. Dr. David Suzuki interviewed many people with serious medical conditions, who had been using hemp as a treatment. The results were amazing! After seeing this program, I purchased some hemp and tried it. Just smoking hemp did more for my medical conditions than all those pills the doctors were giving me. And I told them so! I asked many doctor for a prescription for hemp and was refused. All the doctors would do is tell me hemp was bad for the lungs. And to stay away from hemp- it's still under study!
(text) - HOW MANY YEARS DOES IT TAKE TO STUDY A PLANT? (12:18)
"Even my family doctor said it was bad for the lungs. So I asked him what he thought of me, taking the essential oil from the hemp plant, and ingesting it orally as a medication. The doctor agreed that this would be a much more medicinal way to use this drug, but would still not give me a prescription so I could acquire this drug legally!
(text) - SORRY, THERE IS NOTHING MORE WE CAN DO FOR YOU. (12:40)
"In 2001, my family doctor informed me that there was nothing more they could do. They had nothing left to try on me, so I was on my own. I continued producing and taking hemp oil as my only medication. Slowly, my thinking processes cleared from the effects of all those chemical drugs the doctors had given me. And everyone around me saw the improvement in my condition. The oil had worked wonders for me.
" In late 2002, my family doctor examined 3 areas on my skin which he presumed to be skin cancer. One was close to my right eye, another on my left cheek, and another on my chest. In January 2003, the cancer close to my right eye was surgically removed. And they were going to schedule me to have the other two cancers removed at a later date. About a week after the surgery by my eye, the area was infected and angry looking. I was examining the area where the surgery had been done, when the report I heard on the radio in 1975 popped back into my mind! I knew the oil I produced had concentrated THC in it. So I put some oil on two bandages and applied them to the other two areas of skin cancer. In four days, both cancers were gone!"
"Needless to say, I was very excited about the hemp oil curing my skin cancer! So I went to my doctor's office for a copy of the pathology report- that stated I had basal cell carcinoma. I informed the receptionist that the cancer had returned and I had cured it and the other two cancers with hemp oil. The reaction of the receptionist mystified me! She went rigid, saying " The doctor will not go there! The doctor will not prescribe this!" I was standing in my doctor's office that I cured my cancer with hemp oil- AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT?"
"Foolishly, at the time, I though the system wanted a cure for cancer! Seeing the receptionist's reaction to the hemp oil left me feeling very uneasy. It felt like the "Twilight Zone"! In April 2003, I contacted the Pain Management Center in Halifax. I had been told by a friend that the Center might be able to provide me with a license to possess hemp. All I got was a recorded message stating there was a 21-month waiting period and you must be referred by your physician! Now where did that leave me? My family doctor wouldn't even TALK about hemp medicine. (14:58)
Randene Neill: reporter
"Big time controversy brewing in a small town over THIS! Is it a cure-all or contraband? "
Rick Simpson:
"Here's somebody dying of cancer- they're no dying any more! Here's somebody with something else. Well, they're, they're cured. And this is what's doing it.... "
Randene Neill:
"In a small Nova Scotia town, one man is trying to get the word out on what he says are the healing properties of hemp oil. As Ross Lord explains WHERE he's spreading the word makes a major headache with no cure in sight!"
Ross Lord: reporter
"In Maccan, Nova Scotia, this oil is gaining a reputation as a "miracle drug".
Rick Simpson:
"That's the cure right there!"
Ross Lord: reporter
"Oil extracted from marijuana plants. Rick Simpson has been making it and giving it to neighbors. He calls it "hemp oil". Others know it as "weed oil". In small doses he says, it will make you well without getting you high"
Allen Rowe: reporter
"Hemp oil containing THC has been touted as an effective treatment for many diseases- including cancer. But distributing THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, is illegal. And that has some Nova Scotia users worried that their supply of medicinal hemp oil will disappear. Global's Ray Bradshaw has the story. (16:10)
Rick Simpson:
"I'm used to it."
Ray Bradshaw: reporter
"Hemp oil is being use by some people in the Maccan area of Nova Scotia to help in the treatment of cancer. Now they're worried their hemp oil will be taken away."
Rick Dwyer:
" People are being very scared of the RCMP coming in their home and taking their medicine from them. And uh, the whole community itself is living in fear down here, including my family."
Ray Bradshaw:
"That's because the hemp oil Rick Simpson is making, contains THC, an illegal substance. He says there is medical proof that THC kills cancer cells. Rick Dwyer says it cured his father's cancer and other diseases."
Rick Dwyer:
"It took the fluid off his lungs. It repaired the prostate. Uh, it did so many things for him! He doesn't even take his insulin now for his diabetes, because it controls his diabetes."
Ray Bradshaw:
"Amhurst RCMP told us they likely won't track down people who use hemp oil for medicinal purposes. But the RCMP say that it is illegal to provide people with hemp oil with THC, whether or not the supplier is paid. Simpson grew marijuana on his property and made hemp oil from it. This fall, RCMP confiscated the plants, but didn't arrest or charge him. "
Rick Simpson:
"They took it here, so what's to stop them from going house to house?
Ray Bradshaw:
"Simpson says, without marijuana to make hemp oil, he's been unable to supply people. He's hoping the attitude toward the drug will soon turn around."
Rick Simpson:
"People are dying for no damn reason! I'd like to just see the most medicinal plant in the world just get the recognition it deserves!
Ray Bradshaw:
" For Global News, this is Ray Bradshaw reporting."
(text) WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU DISCOVERED THE CURE FOR CANCER? (17:53)
Rick Dwyer:
"I met a girl at the Maccan Legion, who said, who said, she.. this guy, Rick Simpson, had cured her of cancer. So I asked the girl if I could meet him. And so, she told him and Mr. Simpson came to the legion. At the time, he told me had discovered he could cure skin cancer and diabetic ulcers with a medicinal oil called hemp oil. And I took this man as sincere, besides that his father was a _____. His father was a veteran, and I felt an obligation to check his story out as a veteran's... as a veteran's child.
And so he took me with him. And I investigated it as I should of. And he took me to these people, and sure enough, these people were all saying he had cured them all. And he brought forth the evidence and proof. And our executive, and, and president and all of us agreed that we have to do something. And people are dying needlessly and suffering needlessly. So we held a meeting and we discussed that we would put it in the paper, which the president and treasurer signed the letter. And we put it in the paper asking for an honest and open review of this medicine. And we started writing letters to Provincial Command as well as we sent a tape. I spoke the president of Provincial Command three times, telling them to please come up and, and, you know, at least come up and look at this, and direct us here!
And so, they actually refused to actually address the issue! And as our members and executive members, I mean, people were dying all around us and people didn't know. And, and so we decided we had to do something in that! And so, that's when we proceeded to take the direction we did. And that direction was to call in these politicians or health professionals and our enforcement officials, and all the people who should have been contacted over this issue. And we wrote them a letter, and we stated to come to this meeting. We would show you the evidence, the human evidence, the scientific evidence and the medical evidence- and that's when they came in and shut our Royal Canadian Legion down! What was really shocking, was how they did it. " (20:20)
Reporter:
There's a battle brewing between a tiny Legion branch in northern Nova Scotia, and the Legion command."
Dan MacIntosh:
"The doors are locked here at the Royal Canadian Legion in Maccan. Even past president Rick Dwyer can't get into the building. The charter has been pulled and the executives suspended because of their controversial support of the use of hemp oil as medicine."
Rick Dwyer:
"And as Royal Canadian Legion members, for us to sit here while people were dying and suffering horribly and us knowing that this worked....I don't see where there is any honor to that!"
Dan MacIntosh:
Dwyer's view on the oil changed when his 82-year-old father started using it. He believes that it has helped, even though the oil is not endorsed by the medical community. Dozens of people in Maccan have been using the oil distributed by Rick Simpson. He says the legal and medical communities are against him and his discovery.
Rick Simpson:
" But the Royal Canadian Legion, and if you read their books, and what they're supposed to stand for, it seems to me that this is the right organization to bring this out."
Dan MacIntosh:
"The Nova Scotia Nonavut Command of the Legion says it can't be used as a soapbox to distribute any political message, especially one involving illegal drugs. Steve Wessel says what the local branch is doing could damage the integrity and reputation of the legion.
Steve Wessel:
"Basically, that's stating a policy, saying that the Royal Canadian Legion is in favor of this, through their use of our organization and that contramines...contravenes our general bylaw."
Dan MacIntosh:
"Legion Command will appoint a new management committee to replace the suspended executive. Rick Dwyer can't believe it!
Rick Dwyer:
"What greater integrity or honor for the Royal Canadian Legion than the Legion to speak up on behalf of all the men, women and children who are suffering?"
Dan MacIntosh:
"Wessel says that the Legion Command is considering further disciplinary action against the executive here, but a final decision has not been made yet. Meanwhile, Dwyer says he doesn't care much about that, he's just glad he did the right thing. Dan MacIntosh CTV News Maccan, Nova Scotia. (22:15)
Ross Lord:
"The Maccan Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion was so impressed it hosted meetings like this one aimed at spreading the word about hemp oil. But when they planned a big public meeting, higher ups at the Legion shut them down."
Rick Dwyer:
"The Provincial Command came here the day of the meeting and they come in and they locked the doors. And I come into the yard and two RCMP officers here and that told me I was not allowed on the property."
Steve Wessel:
"They are using the Royal Canadian Legion, its name, its ixin... its insignias, and the buildings to...as a platform to promote the use of hemp oil as a medicinal.......drug."
Rick Dwyer:
" I don't care if this medicine comes from a tomato plant, a potato plant or a hemp plant! If the medicine's safe, and helps and works, why not use it?
Ross Lord:
"For Rick Dwyer, it's an emotional issue. One of the testaments to hemp oil's healing power is his father- a military veteran suffering from lung cancer."
Edward Dwyer- lung cancer
"This last time I was in, I didn't know it, but they said I was going to die in 24 hours, but I didn't. So I took the oil and everything worked out right."
Ross Lord:
"But the Legion isn't budging! They've suspended the entire executive of this branch along with any activities planned for the building until they've installed a new management team."
Steve Wessel:
"There is no provincial or federal regulation that states that this marijuana can be grown and produced into hemp oil for medicinal purposes, and therefore it's illegal as far as the province is concerned. And the Royal Canadian Legion does not... back illegal operations."
Ross Lord:
"Simpson has had trouble with the law."
(text) THE RCMP RAIDS OF 2005/2006 DEPRIVED THOUSANDS OF CANCER PATIENTS OF THEIR MEDICINE. (23:55)
Ross Lord:
"The RCMP confiscated 16,000 marijuana plants from his back yard last year, PLANTS that he claims were grown for medicinal purposes. A court case is unresolved, and so are questions within the Legion about whether hemp oil is medicine or menace?"
Steve Wessel:
"It goes against the general bylaws of the Royal Canadian Legion."
Rick Dwyer:
"What I did, I'm proud of what I did! I'm proud of it!"
Ross Lord:
"And for now, the Legion is the town's only meeting place, getting the word out about hemp oil will prove to be more difficult. In Maccan, Nova Scotia, this is Global National's Ross Lord, reporting." (24:31)
Rick Dwyer:
"Because they had us under martial law, we couldn't, we couldn't make a decision, except for the four management committee members, who I feel betrayed all the other members. The come in, they took our freedom of speech away, we weren't, we weren't allowed to talk about why they shut us down, so why were they there? I mean when you shut a Royal Canadian Legion down, you should...you owe the members and the executive at least an explanation of WHY you shut them down! And if they shut us down over a cure for cancer, then who's doing the right thing? Us or them? (25:09)
Various voices:
"Canada is in a cancer epidemic" "I had to blame someone." "Their silence is killing us." "Part of the natural process of life." " A chemical is innocent until it's proven guilty." " It's not that simple."
Wendy Mesley: reporter
"When I first got diagnosed, it was the "Why me?" You know, it's not in my family! I've tried to be healthy. I eat my veggies. I exercise a lot. And.... I try to live a pretty... pretty clean lifestyle!
Grocer-
"Shoppin' for healthy foods, eh?"
Wendy Mesley:
"We know all those things, those things are great, but there must be other things going on! It's NOT about me! It's why is it now one in two who has this stupid disease! And what are we doing about it? (25:55)

Dr. Sam Epstein: pathologist, educator, author
"There is now, a growing and critical demand for the role of corporate social responsibility for winning the losing cancer war. The facts are this- these are clear data showing where Canada is in a cancer epidemic. Nearly 1 in 2 men or more than 1 in 3 women are getting cancer in their lifetimes."
Wendy Mesley:
"This is what Canadians are told about prevention, "The Seven Steps to Health".
Dr. Sam Epstein:
"The Canadian Cancer societies have ignored or trivialized these concerns, and told the public, that- if you get cancer, it's your own fault! You smoke too much! Which is actually right, I'm not knocking that. Or you drink too much, or you're obese, or you don't exercise enough. It's a lack of healthy lifestyle. It's your fault when you get cancer! It's not because we have taken no action to reduce avoidable exposures to carcinogens."
Wendy Mesley:
"Whose fault is this?"
Dr. Sam Epstein:
"It's the fault of the Canadian cancer establishment, who have not informed the public! The consumer has to realize two things. That their basic rights as Canadian citizens, is being denied and challenged by the government, by the cancer societies...

"The more money you spend on cancer, the more cancer you get! And the reason why, is that there has been virtually no movement in the field of prevention."

"A big part of the story is money. Um, Obviously, there are limited amounts that Canada can spend on cancer. And at the moment, the biggest chunk of that money goes toward the drugs and treatments. Obviously, BIG BUCKS at stake at the pharmaceutical conference! Oh, they kept talking about "there's so much stuff in the pipeline!"

(text) MAKING YOUR OWN OIL IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WE DO NOT APPROVE OF THIS METHOD (29:32)
Rick Simpson:
"Sativa strains produce a oil that is a very good antidepressant and tends to energize a person. But most of the hemp oil that I produce comes from indica strains. Indica strains tend to relax a person and give them more sleep. Rest and sleep are part of the healing process.
" Place the starting material, preferably good bud, in a plastic container. Dampen the bud material in the container with the solvent you are using, then crush the bud material. When the bud has been crushed, add more solvent 'til the material has been completely covered. I generally use pure naptha, but 99% pure isopropyl alcohol also works well as a solvent, as do many other substances."
"Work and stir the contents, to let the THC dissolve in the solvent. This process takes two to three minutes. Drain the solvent from the starting material and put it through a coffee filter. The solvent now resembles the color of gasoline, due to the presence of the hemp oil in the solvent."
"Make sure the area where you are going to boil the solvent off is very well ventilated! The idea is to carry the fumes away from the boiling solvent to reduce the danger of an explosion or fire! Special care must be taken to avoid red-hot elements, or a spark of ANY kind that could ignite the fumes from the solvent.
(Graphic) NO SMOKING! (30:55)
"I have found that an electric rice cooker boils the solvent off very effectively. Bring the solvent/oil mix in the rice cooker to a boil. Use a fan to carry the fumes from the solvent away. As the solvent boils off, continue adding more solvent/oil mix until it is gone. As the level in the boiling pot comes down for the last time, add 8 to 10 drops of water. Since the boiling point of water is much higher than the boiling point of the solvent used, this water that was added, allows the solvent to be released as the oil thickens."
"As the last of the solvent is being released, it is a good idea to lift the rice cooker and keep the contents in the cooker moving. This helps release any remaining solvent and also protects the oil from too much heat. At no time, should the temperature of the oil go over 290 degrees Fahrenheit."
" Gently pour the oil from the rice cooker, into a small metal container. Put this container with the oil into a dehydrator, or put the container on a gentle heating device, such as a coffee warmer. It may take a few hours to evaporate the water off the oil. In the end, there should be no bubbling or other activity on the surface of the oil. When the oil is hot, it is quite runny, but as it cools, the oil takes on the consistency of a thick grease."
"Generally, a pound of good hemp bud will produce about 2 ounces of high grade oil. Ingesting this amount, over a 2 to 3 month period, is enough to cure most serious cancers. (32:21)

"I started taking 'cause I ended up with chronic pain from a blood clot from my last operation. And there was nothing they could give me except standard pain pills, which I can't take because I get addicted to them right over night and they're just too hard on my system. Every pain pill I've ever tried has caused me nothing but grief! And like I say, If I take them for more than a week, then I'm looking for them all the time! So, I'd call that addiction, I don't know whatever medical term you want to put on it, but they do...They destroy me, is what they do! Because I got no strength, no energy- no pain for a... ya know, a few days, but then the side effect of pain pills... is pain."
"But yes! I'm definitely a believer, because, I mean, I'm walking proof of it! And don't we all deserve to feel better? Right? Without destroying ourselves? I think it's terrible the amount of drugs they shove into everybody. And we're the little robots, right? We're told to take that, so take that. Doesn't matter that they...they just tear me apart. I mean, they're just not good for my system! Well, they're not normal. Right? I mean, anything that starts working against you. And of course, you ask them "What does this actually do?", they never really know. "It MIGHT help you." Well, you're talking about your life or death- might's not good enough!"
"I ripped all the muscles off the bone, years ago. Well, with a 4 wheeler pulling it out of the mud! Well, anyway, like I say, I get cortisone shots for it, but it still wouldn't work! I could grab it and pull it down- but to just reach back and something like that, that just didn't want to go there any more. I was told by the doctor, that that would never come back in my shoulder, because that had literally ripped the muscle off of the bone. He said it will get to the point where you can use it, but that's always going to cause you trouble and never work right again. That was his opinion...and he was right.......... up until I started taking the oil!" (34:16)
Debbie Donkin:
"Eric's father was diagnosed with fast acting lung cancer and was given 6 months to live. And because I had recently read about it, I said "Well, what about hemp oil?", and just to see what his reaction was. And so maybe, ya know, you read about it in the paper? Like maybe, we should talk about it?"
Eric Donkin:
"Once I found out that it would work on this, I said, "Well sure! I'm willing to try it." And..pfffft... never go back now, I can tell you that! After talking to Rick, he says "Ya know, it works on chronic pain." I said, Well, I'm your candidate to try that! Because I've lived that since '99! Every day of my life! Ya know, I got to bed with it. I get up with it. If I wake up in the middle of the night, it's there. It just never went away."
"Now I get a full night's sleep! I feel good when I get up in the morning. The pain's never back like it was!"
Debbie Donkin:
"I always knew that marijuana was medicinal. I knew it worked for glaucoma."
Cecil "Pooey" Hoeg:
"Oh! Oh! My eyes, my eyes, my glaucoma! Oh Gee, I forgot about that! Yeah, glaucoma. I had that bad. Mine was up to at my ...I don't know if you people understand too much about glaucoma. But anyway the pressure in your eyes is what it is. One eye's down to 14 and the other one's is down to 16- from 31, 32! I feel a lot better...I feel a lot better, ten times better. I get no pain in my legs, now. Uh, My eyesight's improving and I'm proud of my face. It's wrinkled up, but it ain't got the big holes in there, like I had. And stuff running from them. I feel much better. I don't know what I would of done if I hadn't run across Mr. Simpson! Heh, heh, yeah. I might not be setting on this chair today!" (36:01)
Eric Donkin:
"I take it twice a day, usually in the morning and at night. And so I end up out of that about a drop, is all I take. That's all you need, because, I mean, I don't have anything terminally picking away at me, right? Or that I know about! I don't figure I ever will have now!"
Margaret Dwyer:
"After I used it, and it did clear up the sy..symptoms I had....... 20 years younger, physically, 20 years younger!"
Rick Dwyer:
" It is taking that pain out of my back, that aching out of my back, that I had from those three back injuries, that I've had for so long! And just having that pain out of my back, it has changed my life! I.. I can sleep again! I can lay down, again! I can sit up and get in a chair! I mean, there were so many nights when I could lay there at the kitchen table at 2 o'clock in the morning, crying, because this, this aching, ya know, it just wouldn't go away! And, uh, to have that gone in itself was fine with me! And I go like- Anything else? OK! I can handle anything else! I'm rid of this now! Ya know, type of thing! It's a God's blessing!"
Eric Donkin:
"It eliminated the pain enough that I can function perfect! The pain I have left is well within tolerable levels. I mean, we all have pain, right? I mean, especially when you get older! I'm 52 years old..I'm not as...and like I say, I've had 4 open-heart surgeries! That slows ya down a little bit! But I can't complain! But my lifestyle right now, and what I can do, I'm just happy as can be, because I never thought I'd be able to do it! You know, I've been told by the medical profession, years ago, that I'd only sit on a couch and watch TV. That I didn't have enough parts left to go. I mean, I've never had any side effects, no problem that way. Seems to control my weight though. I used to have an awful problem gaining weight, it going away, gaining weight. Now my weight just stays "dead nuts"... all the same. And I don't know what that is. I think it just helps your body work with itself." (38:05)
Rick Simpson:
"The reason I think people have a hard time believing what the hemp oil can do is because they've been brainwashed by our system. I mean, we've all seen the commercials- ya know, hemp/marijuana is bad! Well, I would like someone to prove....show me where the bad is! Who died from hemp?"
Debbie Donkin:
"It's like everyone! You hear about it, you meet the people who've done it, but everybody it's like, I guess, if you see in some ways for the people, I guess, to believe in hemp, it's like if people say they saw a UFO! It's seeing is believing. So for me, it was, like, just incredible!"
James Albert Leblanc:
"I'm just happy to be alive, ya know, because there was nothing the doctors could do! They said "Go home and die" more or less, ya know, they don't just come out and say that. They just said there's nothing we can do for me. I didn't really want to come down here, but my better half forced me to come and I did, and that's the best move that I ever made in my life! And, and that's when things changed! Ya know, I started eatin'. I started feeling better. I walked out of here, with hope... which I didn't have when I first come in. When I walked out of here, I had all kinds of hope and prayed to God and things worked out! You know, the hemp oil just started working!" (39:31)
Rick Simpson:
"The government and the medical system do not want you to have the ability to cure your own diseases. These people don't want anything to change. They got the big cars. They got the big bank accounts. "Well, we're happy the way it is! And now that we know about this oil, well ya, we can afford to go buy it, cause we're the ones who make big money! " They don't give a damn about the poor people!"
Eric Donkin:
"There seems to be a lot of things that this can help. And it's just a sin, we're not allowed to find out more, just for the sake of the ungodly dollar! That's what it always boils down to, right? I mean, people should have a right in this country to keep themselves well- and I mean, that should be a basic right! I thought it was supposed to be, but I'm finding out, not so much."
Cecil "Pooey" Hoeg:
"I went to the doctor in Amherst and..ah..I up told him what I was doing. And he froze right in his tracks! I told him a story that I heard that it would work. And I said "Will it work? Or will it not?". Now, he said, "Cecil, now to be honest about it" he said " I can't confirm it and I can't deny it!"
Rick Dwyer:
"There's so many people out there suffering with so many diseases that this works for! And I don't...at nights I don't sleep very well, because I think of those little children.....that are being poisoned... and that are being fed chemotherapy and radiation. And, and, infants and..and ,.......This is so horrible!"
Cecil "Pooey" Hoeg:
"Find out how good it is! I know it's good! But listen, it's more than "just for cancer"...."
Rick Simpson:
"If you have a serious medical condition, such as cancer, what right does anyone have to tell you, that you cannot use hemp medicine?"
James Albert Leblanc:
"Take a look...of, of me six months ago... I was.... up and down, up and down, like I had no energy... had nothing to do. Like now, I want to live! I WANT TO LIVE! Ya know, God put it out there for us. Why ain't we using it? Why're we, why're we denying this to somebody who's going to save someone else's life?"
Rick Simpson:
"If people would just realize how much this medicine can help them, the world would be a better place!"
Eric Donkin:
"It's a miracle medicine. There's no way around that!"
Cecil "Pooey" Hoeg:
"I got nothin' else to say, but, ya know, it's good! Its..it does the trick. It works!"
James Albert Leblanc:
"I just know that the hemp oil works! I, I really can't explain..... It works! It works! That's all I can say! You know, like ah...it works! God love us!"
Rick Dwyer:
"All these people, they...... how do you NOT believe this? I mean, it's...it's right before your eyes!
Eric Donkin:
"In January '07, my father came to stay with my wife and I, because his cancer had become unmanageable. He could not stay alone any more. At this point, the man had fluid in both lungs, couldn't even hardly walk around, his breathing had gone down to 70% and he was... on his last legs. We started him on the treatment, and inside of three months, the cancer was completely gone! In between that, the man got nothing but better! The man improved every day from the time he started the oil, until the time when he started a maintenance dose in March."

I wish I'd of had a camera cause take the picture of her face! That's worth a million! And I went over to get the cat scan. I wasn't going to go, but I went over, 'cause I wanted to make sure. Ya know, like we always have that little doubt in your mind? And the results were, "I AM CANCER FREE!"....... And I'z the happy boy!!!" (laughs joyfully)
(text) JIM IS HAPPY TO REPORT THAT HE IS NOW BACK TO WORK AFTER BEATING TERMINAL CANCER USING HEMP OIL (43:51)
Rick Simpson:
"Cancer and disease today- a dose of reality.... I was born in 1949. I am a child of the 50s and 60s. When I was young, cancer and many other medical conditions that are so prevalent today, were quite rare. When my cousin, David, was diagnosed with cancer in 1969 at the age of 22, I thought that he had been misdiagnosed. Could a man of this age have cancer?"
Three years later, in 1972, Dave died from cancer at the age of 25. My cousin was the first person that I knew directly that died from cancer. I am not saying that people did not die from cancer in the 50s and 60s, but cancer at that time was rare enough that I did not know anyone that had died from this disease, until my cousin died in 1972."
"I spent most of my working career employed with the hospital system. From the 1970s, up until I was injured in 1997, I watched the exponential growth of cancer and many other conditions that had been considered rare. Every year that went by, the number of people that were stricken with these diseases continued to increase......and so did the death rates. During all these years, I often wondered, what was causing people to succumb to these diseases, that were increasing at such an alarming rate?"
"In the last few years, through my research, I have come to the conclusion, that this increase in disease, is caused by our environment. In our everyday lives, we are surrounded by chemicals, poisons and carcinogens that are wreaking havoc with out immune systems."
" Even our food supply, in many cases, is not fit for human consumption! Look at the hormones that are added to our meat! How could this be considered healthy or safe? Seemingly innocent products that we use in everyday life are full of carcinogens and other contaminants. In my estimation, about 90 percent of cancers are caused by our environment. Over the last few decades, the number of people affected by diseases like Crohn's, diabetes, allergic reactions, etc., have skyrocketed. And no one is doing anything to curb this trend."
"Through my research into hemp medicine, I have discovered that properly made hemp oil, is a cure-all that could at least give the public a chance to ward off these illnesses. Throughout man's history, hemp has always been known as man's oldest and safest drug. And hemp is non-addictive! Why is the public being denied the use of this medicine by our system?"
" The law that was put in place in 1923, restricting hemp's use, was a total sham! Laws are supposed to be put in place to do the greatest good for the greatest number. In hemp's case this did not happen. This law was put in place to please "big money", so they could increase their profit margins. What do they care if the Canadian public suffer and die due to this drug's restriction. Canadian people put their trust into the Canadian political, medical and legal systems, to do the right thing for the public. Unfortunately, to date, this issue has been ignored. We are in the middle of a cancer epidemic. To whom can the public turn?"
"In the name of the Canadian people, I am asking this system, to start working for the citizen's of this country and to end this needless suffering and death. I don't care if you work in our political, medical or legal systems, do you not have loved ones who have died for no reason? Why does our system support laws that are so obviously corrupt? What chance do any of our loved ones have if changes are not made?
"To me, in life, there is only right and wrong. To deny the truth about hemp medicine is a criminal act against the Canadian people! To continue hemp's restriction in medicine, could only be termed "insanity". If no one gives a damn, or cares for nothing but themselves, what future does mankind have?

Rick Simpson:
"Since my injury in 1997, our medical system, political system, and legal system have all done their best to keep me from the one medication that helps my condition. The simple fact that denying hemp's use to me could lead to my death, does not seem to matter to them. In Canada, we have what is known as a Marijuana Access Program. Even if a person is lucky enough through this program be granted a license to possess hemp, they are not allowed to collect resins, or to make the essential oil that contains the real medicinal value of the hemp plant. You can smoke hemp joints 'til the cows come home, but it is highly unlikely that smoking hemp will cure your cancer and the government knows it! The public have been led to believe that all you have to do is see your doctor for a prescription for hemp. The reality is.... that you have a better chance of winning the lottery! There is approximately, only about 2,000 people in this country that have a license to possess hemp."

Rick Simpson:
"After over two years of dealing with our legal system, I am truly sickened! What chance does an ordinary man have, when the laws and the people that enforce them, are denying reality? During my charter challenge, about 4 dozen sworn affidavits from people who had used hemp oil for many different medical conditions were presented. These affidavits were dismissed as if they meant nothing! Nine months later, at my Supreme Court trial, I had 10 patients and 6 doctors ready to testify..........but none were allowed on the stand! "

Rick Simpson:
"When you have people who have been cured of terminal cancer, ready to testify...and doctors to back it up, why would their testimony be disallowed? It seems that the justice system isn't looking very hard for a cure!..... Anyone can see the loss of revenue that the free use of hemp in medicine presents to the drug companies. But also, it is easy to see the suffering that hemp's medical restriction is causing. Are profits really more important than the health and welfare of the people who inhabit this planet? "
"Presently, we here at "Phoenix Tears", are launching a world-wide Internet protest to bring hemp back into mainstream medicinal use. Our hope is that many other web sites out there and the public, will support this protest to lift the restrictions that governments have put in place against hemp's use.

Mr. Simpson's controversial "Phoenix Oil" is claimed to cure cancer and many other diseases. I do not know if his claims are accurate or not. However, I have gathered quite a bit of evidence that cannabis DOES have curative powers. Whether they are as miraculous as Mr. Simpson claims has yet to be proven. I do believe that his oil should be given an HONEST trial.
I would strongly caution people about the solvents that are used. They are toxic and explosive. It would not do you or your loved ones any good if you were brain-damaged from inhaling the fumes, or blown up! PLEASE- ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION! BE TWICE AS CAREFUL AS YOU THINK YOU NEED TO BE!
And now for all those who are on "dial up" and hate the download time, or have friends that don't have a computer, but need to know about Phoenix Oil- here's the transcript, as prepared by yours truly! The numbers in parentheses are the time markers, so you can find certain parts of the film. (4:20) is 4 minutes and 20 seconds into the film, for example.

Healing Hemp Oil
For over a century, big business and pharmaceuticals companies worldwide have withhold the cure for cancer and countless other medical conditions....All in the interest of personal profit. Rick Simpson rediscovered the cure for cancer and shared it with as many people as he could.... free of charge. (1:44)
Eric Donkin:
"When people have to suffer because money, or people making money, or whatever- that's just not right."
Cecil "Pooey" Hoeg:
"When the doctor can't cure ya, and ya want to get cured, you're going to try anything, aren'tcha! I was willing to give it a shot, yes. I'd give it two shots!"
Rick Dwyer:
Change your life- come and take some real medicine! Medicine that is safe and works for a change. (2:06)
(text) Run From the Cure- the Rick Simpson Story Second edition
Rick Simpson:
"My name is Rick Simpson. I live at 344 Little Forks Road just outside of Maccan, Nova Scotia. I'm here to tell you about the most medicinal plant known to man! Hemp! Oils made from the hemp plant are the most medicinally active substances found in nature."
"Up until about 85 years ago, hemp medicines were widely used all over the world. Many drug companies in the 1800s and early 1900s produced hemp medicines for decades. Hemp is a plant; therefore it cannot be patented. To drug companies, no patent means no money, hence, no interest in producing this drug.
"When you examine bud from the hemp plant, you can see that it is covered in resin. This resin makes the bud appear to be covered in frost. This resin is the medicine. When collected and processed properly, the resulting oil is an effective cure or control for practically any disease known to man- even cancer! We have supplied this oil to dozens of people with cancer, even people who were diagnosed with terminal cancer diagnosed by our medical system, now have a clean bill of health after treatment with hemp medicine! When working with this medicine, medical miracles are a common occurrence. "
(text)- Read Jim's Cancer Journey" on line @ www.phoenixtears.ca (3:49)
"This oil has brought many people right off their death beds! Due to the restrictions put in place by our government against this medicine, we feel that it is our duty to inform the public how they can make their own. In reality, this medicine should be produced on a grand scale in a controlled environment, using the highest quality starting material. Producing hemp medicine in this manner, would stabilize the potency of this medication, plus any danger associated with this medicine could be eliminated."
(text) DO NOT ATTEMPT- HIGH RISK OF EXPLOSION (4:40)
"High potency hemp oil can be produced right in your own home or workshop. Later in this video we will show you how this can be accomplished observing simple rules of safety. We do not approve of, or condone this method due to the safety issues involved and we bear no responsibility if this information is misused!
(text) WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISUSE OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THIS VIDEO. (4:54)
"If you, or someone you care about have a life threatening medical condition, that our medical system has failed to help, there is a very good chance that hemp oil is the answer to your problems. There are three different ways to use the oil as a medication, you can ingest it, you can vaporize it, or you can use it topically. But for ___ internal diseases, like cancer, lung cancer and that type of thing, the internal treatment works magnificently. (5:22)
Eric Donkin- 4 open heart surgeries, 5 pacemakers-
"Well, I've had 4 open heart surgeries and probably... 5 pacemakers. I've been through the mill as far as medical stuff goes. And I started taking this, because my father was taking it for his cancer- which he doesn't have any more- but.. this came along- it worked perfect! It lets me do a day's work, or as much as I can safely. Let's face it, after 4 open hearts, you are still limited to what you can do. But, I go all day...wife and I 4 wheeler all over the place...we have...it virtually gave me my life back without the pain!" (5:58)
Rick Dwyer- depression and anxiety/ chronic back pain-
"I have suffered from major depression since the age of 27. I suffer from anxiety attacks. I've also had three back injuries with constant aching in my back, and that for years. And when I took this medicine, uh, it seemed to take the aching from my back. It seems to cut down the panic attacks, and as of late, as I keep going on, it just seems to better and better- my depression and anxiety attacks. (6:27)
Debbie Donkin- abnormal mole
"I had a huge mole on my shoulder. It was black and dotted (?) ,and had a crusty...it wasn't a natural mole and I'd been sorta concerned about it. And actually, knowing from Rick mentioning that it cured skin cancer, and removed stuff like that, I decided to put a little oil on my mole and see if it worked. So I put a little band-aid over it, I only applied for three days, and then another four, and then in two weeks it was completely gone! (6:56)
Cecil "Pooey" Hoeg- melanoma skin cancer.
"Well, I had skin cancer, melanoma cancer, they told me. I was treated time after time. I was burnt several times- I call it burnt, they have another name for it. But anyway, they burnt several times- and uh it wasn't doing no good. All the salve they gave me, and I put it on, and put it on. So, I run across this guy they call Ricky Simpson, Well, you see my face, I know it's all wrinkled up, but there's no big holes in it! (7:25)
Margaret Dwyer- migraines, ovarian cyst, arthritis, skin allergies, bowel disorders,
"I use hemp oil for a number of conditions, migraine headaches, a cyst on my ovary, bad, bad skin allergies, snoring, upset stomach, diarrhea bad, something's wrong with my bowls- it's helped with every condition I had. (7:47)
James Albert Leblanc-terminal cancer
"I had two months to live. I was cashing in. I didn't care, then I got ahold of Rick who explained it... how this stuff works. The chemo and the radiation just kills everything inside of you. It doesn't give you a chance to live. And then when I look at my hemp oil, that's why I am setting here today, telling you that hemp oil does work! (smiles) (8:21)
(text) WHAT DOES HEMP OIL WORK ON?
Rick Simpson-
"Skin conditions, cancer, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, chronic pain, burns, ulcers, warts and moles, any condition involving mutating cells, migraine headaches, asthma, insomnia, anxiety and depression, it works to regulate your weight. It heals scar tissue. It rejuvenates vital organs. In fact I would like someone to show me what it CAN'T heal! (8:50)
Larry Bjarnason: Phoenix Tears Researcher
"When we began, Rick asked me to find out if there was...any...detrimental effects to the hemp oil. As we searched, we couldn't find any. And research kept coming back with all the good aspects of the medicine. And as we kept looking, then we ran into Dr. Guezmann in Spain , who's done research since 1999 in hemp oil, the International Cannabinoid Research Society has been researching it for 17 years. They have research papers, from various researchers and research organizations, including Health Canada. Well, in our research, we haven't been able to find anything that appears detrimental, everything is beneficial from the oil.
"Cannabis and hemp traditionally have been used to treat alcoholics and recovering drug addicts. And it hasn't changed over the years, they are still using it in some cases. But most medical facilities don't recognize it. I believe they don't recognize the product because of the disinformation handed to them over the years. It's touted as a malicious drug, rather than a medicine. In the research we have, the most amazing part of the product is the medicinal value to it.
(text) HEMP HAS BEEN USED IN MEDICINE FOR ALMOST 5,000 YEARS!
"Especially in the eastern countries, yet "mainstream medicine" refuses to recognize the validity of it." (10:18)
Rick Simpson:
"To any one that would say that I am nothing but a high class drug dealer, uh, to that I would just have to laugh! Drug dealers, they sell it for a big price and they make the money. I've been giving it away since 2003. I'd have to be the stupidest drug dealer in history to give it away, now wouldn't I? How'd ya make any money if you're giving it away? "
Christian- interviewer
(laughing) Well, that's exactly right.
Rick Simpson:
"I'm just trying to help people. That's what it's all about. I want people to know how to heal themselves.
(text) "I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW TO HEAL THEMSELVES." - RICK SIMPSON
"In 1975, I was listening to CKDH radio, when the announcer came on with a report THC in marijuana and/or hemp plant killing cancer cells. Three years previously, in 1972, I had watched my 25-year-old cousin die a horrible death from cancer. So when I heard this report, it certainly caught my attention! But time goes by, and I never hear anything more about those reports, so I assumed the report I heard could not be true, or the system would be using THC to cure cancer!"
"In 1997, I received a serious head injury at work. doctors put me on prescription drugs, but these drugs did nothing to alleviate my condition. And many of the drugs had horrible side effects."

"In late 1988, I watched an episode of "The Nature of Things" entitled "Reefer Madness II. Dr. David Suzuki interviewed many people with serious medical conditions, who had been using hemp as a treatment. The results were amazing! After seeing this program, I purchased some hemp and tried it. Just smoking hemp did more for my medical conditions than all those pills the doctors were giving me. And I told them so! I asked many doctor for a prescription for hemp and was refused. All the doctors would do is tell me hemp was bad for the lungs. And to stay away from hemp- it's still under study!
(text) - HOW MANY YEARS DOES IT TAKE TO STUDY A PLANT? (12:18)
"Even my family doctor said it was bad for the lungs. So I asked him what he thought of me, taking the essential oil from the hemp plant, and ingesting it orally as a medication. The doctor agreed that this would be a much more medicinal way to use this drug, but would still not give me a prescription so I could acquire this drug legally!
(text) - SORRY, THERE IS NOTHING MORE WE CAN DO FOR YOU. (12:40)
"In 2001, my family doctor informed me that there was nothing more they could do. They had nothing left to try on me, so I was on my own. I continued producing and taking hemp oil as my only medication. Slowly, my thinking processes cleared from the effects of all those chemical drugs the doctors had given me. And everyone around me saw the improvement in my condition. The oil had worked wonders for me.
" In late 2002, my family doctor examined 3 areas on my skin which he presumed to be skin cancer. One was close to my right eye, another on my left cheek, and another on my chest. In January 2003, the cancer close to my right eye was surgically removed. And they were going to schedule me to have the other two cancers removed at a later date. About a week after the surgery by my eye, the area was infected and angry looking. I was examining the area where the surgery had been done, when the report I heard on the radio in 1975 popped back into my mind! I knew the oil I produced had concentrated THC in it. So I put some oil on two bandages and applied them to the other two areas of skin cancer. In four days, both cancers were gone!"
"Needless to say, I was very excited about the hemp oil curing my skin cancer! So I went to my doctor's office for a copy of the pathology report- that stated I had basal cell carcinoma. I informed the receptionist that the cancer had returned and I had cured it and the other two cancers with hemp oil. The reaction of the receptionist mystified me! She went rigid, saying " The doctor will not go there! The doctor will not prescribe this!" I was standing in my doctor's office that I cured my cancer with hemp oil- AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR IT?"
"Foolishly, at the time, I though the system wanted a cure for cancer! Seeing the receptionist's reaction to the hemp oil left me feeling very uneasy. It felt like the "Twilight Zone"! In April 2003, I contacted the Pain Management Center in Halifax. I had been told by a friend that the Center might be able to provide me with a license to possess hemp. All I got was a recorded message stating there was a 21-month waiting period and you must be referred by your physician! Now where did that leave me? My family doctor wouldn't even TALK about hemp medicine. (14:58)

(text) WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU DISCOVERED THE CURE FOR CANCER? (17:53)
Rick Dwyer:
"I met a girl at the Maccan Legion, who said, who said, she.. this guy, Rick Simpson, had cured her of cancer. So I asked the girl if I could meet him. And so, she told him and Mr. Simpson came to the legion. At the time, he told me had discovered he could cure skin cancer and diabetic ulcers with a medicinal oil called hemp oil. And I took this man as sincere, besides that his father was a _____. His father was a veteran, and I felt an obligation to check his story out as a veteran's... as a veteran's child.
And so he took me with him. And I investigated it as I should of. And he took me to these people, and sure enough, these people were all saying he had cured them all. And he brought forth the evidence and proof. And our executive, and, and president and all of us agreed that we have to do something. And people are dying needlessly and suffering needlessly. So we held a meeting and we discussed that we would put it in the paper, which the president and treasurer signed the letter. And we put it in the paper asking for an honest and open review of this medicine. And we started writing letters to Provincial Command as well as we sent a tape. I spoke the president of Provincial Command three times, telling them to please come up and, and, you know, at least come up and look at this, and direct us here!
And so, they actually refused to actually address the issue! And as our members and executive members, I mean, people were dying all around us and people didn't know. And, and so we decided we had to do something in that! And so, that's when we proceeded to take the direction we did. And that direction was to call in these politicians or health professionals and our enforcement officials, and all the people who should have been contacted over this issue. And we wrote them a letter, and we stated to come to this meeting. We would show you the evidence, the human evidence, the scientific evidence and the medical evidence- and that's when they came in and shut our Royal Canadian Legion down! What was really shocking, was how they did it. " (20:20)
Reporter:
There's a battle brewing between a tiny Legion branch in northern Nova Scotia, and the Legion command."
Dan MacIntosh:
"The doors are locked here at the Royal Canadian Legion in Maccan. Even past president Rick Dwyer can't get into the building. The charter has been pulled and the executives suspended because of their controversial support of the use of hemp oil as medicine."
Rick Dwyer:
"And as Royal Canadian Legion members, for us to sit here while people were dying and suffering horribly and us knowing that this worked....I don't see where there is any honor to that!"
Dan MacIntosh:
Dwyer's view on the oil changed when his 82-year-old father started using it. He believes that it has helped, even though the oil is not endorsed by the medical community. Dozens of people in Maccan have been using the oil distributed by Rick Simpson. He says the legal and medical communities are against him and his discovery.
Rick Simpson:
" But the Royal Canadian Legion, and if you read their books, and what they're supposed to stand for, it seems to me that this is the right organization to bring this out."
Dan MacIntosh:
"The Nova Scotia Nonavut Command of the Legion says it can't be used as a soapbox to distribute any political message, especially one involving illegal drugs. Steve Wessel says what the local branch is doing could damage the integrity and reputation of the legion.
Steve Wessel:
"Basically, that's stating a policy, saying that the Royal Canadian Legion is in favor of this, through their use of our organization and that contramines...contravenes our general bylaw."
Dan MacIntosh:
"Legion Command will appoint a new management committee to replace the suspended executive. Rick Dwyer can't believe it!
Rick Dwyer:
"What greater integrity or honor for the Royal Canadian Legion than the Legion to speak up on behalf of all the men, women and children who are suffering?"
Dan MacIntosh:
"Wessel says that the Legion Command is considering further disciplinary action against the executive here, but a final decision has not been made yet. Meanwhile, Dwyer says he doesn't care much about that, he's just glad he did the right thing. Dan MacIntosh CTV News Maccan, Nova Scotia. (22:15)
Ross Lord:
"The Maccan Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion was so impressed it hosted meetings like this one aimed at spreading the word about hemp oil. But when they planned a big public meeting, higher ups at the Legion shut them down."
Rick Dwyer:
"The Provincial Command came here the day of the meeting and they come in and they locked the doors. And I come into the yard and two RCMP officers here and that told me I was not allowed on the property."
Steve Wessel:
"They are using the Royal Canadian Legion, its name, its ixin... its insignias, and the buildings to...as a platform to promote the use of hemp oil as a medicinal.......drug."
Rick Dwyer:
" I don't care if this medicine comes from a tomato plant, a potato plant or a hemp plant! If the medicine's safe, and helps and works, why not use it?
Ross Lord:
"For Rick Dwyer, it's an emotional issue. One of the testaments to hemp oil's healing power is his father- a military veteran suffering from lung cancer."
Edward Dwyer- lung cancer
"This last time I was in, I didn't know it, but they said I was going to die in 24 hours, but I didn't. So I took the oil and everything worked out right."
Ross Lord:
"But the Legion isn't budging! They've suspended the entire executive of this branch along with any activities planned for the building until they've installed a new management team."
Steve Wessel:
"There is no provincial or federal regulation that states that this marijuana can be grown and produced into hemp oil for medicinal purposes, and therefore it's illegal as far as the province is concerned. And the Royal Canadian Legion does not... back illegal operations."

"It goes against the general bylaws of the Royal Canadian Legion."
Rick Dwyer:
"What I did, I'm proud of what I did! I'm proud of it!"
Ross Lord:

Rick Dwyer:
"Because they had us under martial law, we couldn't, we couldn't make a decision, except for the four management committee members, who I feel betrayed all the other members. The come in, they took our freedom of speech away, we weren't, we weren't allowed to talk about why they shut us down, so why were they there? I mean when you shut a Royal Canadian Legion down, you should...you owe the members and the executive at least an explanation of WHY you shut them down! And if they shut us down over a cure for cancer, then who's doing the right thing? Us or them? (25:09)

Which is actually right, I'm not knocking that. Or you drink too much, or you're obese, or you don't exercise enough. It's a lack of healthy lifestyle. It's your fault when you get cancer!

(text) MAKING YOUR OWN OIL IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WE DO NOT APPROVE OF THIS METHOD (29:32)
Rick Simpson:
"Sativa strains produce a oil that is a very good antidepressant and tends to energize a person. But most of the hemp oil that I produce comes from indica strains. Indica strains tend to relax a person and give them more sleep. Rest and sleep are part of the healing process.
" Place the starting material, preferably good bud, in a plastic container. Dampen the bud material in the container with the solvent you are using, then crush the bud material. When the bud has been crushed, add more solvent 'til the material has been completely covered. I generally use pure naptha, but 99% pure isopropyl alcohol also works well as a solvent, as do many other substances."
"Work and stir the contents, to let the THC dissolve in the solvent. This process takes two to three minutes. Drain the solvent from the starting material and put it through a coffee filter. The solvent now resembles the color of gasoline, due to the presence of the hemp oil in the solvent."
"Make sure the area where you are going to boil the solvent off is very well ventilated! The idea is to carry the fumes away from the boiling solvent to reduce the danger of an explosion or fire! Special care must be taken to avoid red-hot elements, or a spark of ANY kind that could ignite the fumes from the solvent.
(Graphic) NO SMOKING! (30:55)
"I have found that an electric rice cooker boils the solvent off very effectively. Bring the solvent/oil mix in the rice cooker to a boil. Use a fan to carry the fumes from the solvent away. As the solvent boils off, continue adding more solvent/oil mix until it is gone. As the level in the boiling pot comes down for the last time, add 8 to 10 drops of water. Since the boiling point of water is much higher than the boiling point of the solvent used, this water that was added, allows the solvent to be released as the oil thickens."
"As the last of the solvent is being released, it is a good idea to lift the rice cooker and keep the contents in the cooker moving. This helps release any remaining solvent and also protects the oil from too much heat. At no time, should the temperature of the oil go over 290 degrees Fahrenheit."
" Gently pour the oil from the rice cooker, into a small metal container. Put this container with the oil into a dehydrator, or put the container on a gentle heating device, such as a coffee warmer. It may take a few hours to evaporate the water off the oil. In the end, there should be no bubbling or other activity on the surface of the oil. When the oil is hot, it is quite runny, but as it cools, the oil takes on the consistency of a thick grease."
"Generally, a pound of good hemp bud will produce about 2 ounces of high grade oil. Ingesting this amount, over a 2 to 3 month period, is enough to cure most serious cancers. (32:21)
Eric Donkin:
"I started taking 'cause I ended up with chronic pain from a blood clot from my last operation. And there was nothing they could give me except standard pain pills, which I can't take because I get addicted to them right over night and they're just too hard on my system. Every pain pill I've ever tried has caused me nothing but grief! And like I say, If I take them for more than a week, then I'm looking for them all the time! So, I'd call that addiction, I don't know whatever medical term you want to put on it, but they do...They destroy me, is what they do! Because I got no strength, no energy- no pain for a... ya know, a few days, but then the side effect of pain pills... is pain."
"But yes! I'm definitely a believer, because, I mean, I'm walking proof of it! And don't we all deserve to feel better? Right? Without destroying ourselves? I think it's terrible the amount of drugs they shove into everybody. And we're the little robots, right? We're told to take that, so take that. Doesn't matter that they...they just tear me apart. I mean, they're just not good for my system! Well, they're not normal. Right? I mean, anything that starts working against you. And of course, you ask them "What does this actually do?", they never really know. "It MIGHT help you." Well, you're talking about your life or death- might's not good enough!"
"I ripped all the muscles off the bone, years ago. Well, with a 4 wheeler pulling it out of the mud! Well, anyway, like I say, I get cortisone shots for it, but it still wouldn't work! I could grab it and pull it down- but to just reach back and something like that, that just didn't want to go there any more. I was told by the doctor, that that would never come back in my shoulder, because that had literally ripped the muscle off of the bone. He said it will get to the point where you can use it, but that's always going to cause you trouble and never work right again. That was his opinion...and he was right.......... up until I started taking the oil!" (34:16)
Debbie Donkin:

And because I had recently read about it, I said "Well, what about hemp oil?", and just to see what his reaction was. And so maybe, ya know, you read about it in the paper? Like maybe, we should talk about it?"
Eric Donkin:
"Once I found out that it would work on this, I said, "Well sure! I'm willing to try it." And..pfffft... never go back now, I can tell you that! After talking to Rick, he says "Ya know, it works on chronic pain." I said, Well, I'm your candidate to try that! Because I've lived that since '99! Every day of my life! Ya know, I got to bed with it. I get up with it. If I wake up in the middle of the night, it's there. It just never went away."

But anyway the pressure in your eyes is what it is. One eye's down to 14 and the other one's is down to 16- from 31, 32! I feel a lot better...I feel a lot better, ten times better. I get no pain in my legs, now. Uh, My eyesight's improving and I'm proud of my face. It's wrinkled up, but it ain't got the big holes in there, like I had. And stuff running from them. I feel much better. I don't know what I would of done if I hadn't run across Mr. Simpson! Heh, heh, yeah. I might not be setting on this chair today!" (36:01)

And just having that pain out of my back, it has changed my life! I.. I can sleep again! I can lay down, again! I can sit up and get in a chair! I mean, there were so many nights when I could lay there at the kitchen table at 2 o'clock in the morning, crying, because this, this aching, ya know, it just wouldn't go away! And, uh, to have that gone in itself was fine with me! And I go like- Anything else? OK! I can handle anything else! I'm rid of this now! Ya know, type of thing! It's a God's blessing!"
Eric Donkin:
"It eliminated the pain enough that I can function perfect! The pain I have left is well within tolerable levels. I mean, we all have pain, right? I mean, especially when you get older! I'm 52 years old..I'm not as...and like I say, I've had 4 open-heart surgeries! That slows ya down a little bit! But I can't complain! But my lifestyle right now, and what I can do, I'm just happy as can be, because I never thought I'd be able to do it! You know, I've been told by the medical profession, years ago, that I'd only sit on a couch and watch TV. That I didn't have enough parts left to go. I mean, I've never had any side effects, no problem that way. Seems to control my weight though. I used to have an awful problem gaining weight, it going away, gaining weight. Now my weight just stays "dead nuts"... all the same. And I don't know what that is. I think it just helps your body work with itself." (38:05)
Rick Simpson:
"The reason I think people have a hard time believing what the hemp oil can do is because they've been brainwashed by our system. I mean, we've all seen the commercials- ya know, hemp/marijuana is bad! Well, I would like someone to prove....show me where the bad is! Who died from hemp?"
Debbie Donkin:
"It's like everyone! You hear about it, you meet the people who've done it, but everybody it's like, I guess, if you see in some ways for the people, I guess, to believe in hemp, it's like if people say they saw a UFO! It's seeing is believing. So for me, it was, like, just incredible!"
James Albert Leblanc:
"I'm just happy to be alive, ya know, because there was nothing the doctors could do! They said "Go home and die" more or less, ya know, they don't just come out and say that. They just said there's nothing we can do for me. I didn't really want to come down here, but my better half forced me to come and I did, and that's the best move that I ever made in my life! And, and that's when things changed! Ya know, I started eatin'. I started feeling better. I walked out of here, with hope... which I didn't have when I first come in. When I walked out of here, I had all kinds of hope and prayed to God and things worked out! You know, the hemp oil just started working!" (39:31)
Rick Simpson:
"The government and the medical system do not want you to have the ability to cure your own diseases. These people don't want anything to change. They got the big cars. They got the big bank accounts. "Well, we're happy the way it is! And now that we know about this oil, well ya, we can afford to go buy it, cause we're the ones who make big money! " They don't give a damn about the poor people!"
Eric Donkin:
"There seems to be a lot of things that this can help. And it's just a sin, we're not allowed to find out more, just for the sake of the ungodly dollar! That's what it always boils down to, right? I mean, people should have a right in this country to keep themselves well- and I mean, that should be a basic right! I thought it was supposed to be, but I'm finding out, not so much."
Cecil "Pooey" Hoeg:
"I went to the doctor in Amherst and..ah..I up told him what I was doing. And he froze right in his tracks! I told him a story that I heard that it would work. And I said "Will it work? Or will it not?". Now, he said, "Cecil, now to be honest about it" he said " I can't confirm it and I can't deny it!"
Rick Dwyer:
"There's so many people out there suffering with so many diseases that this works for! And I don't...at nights I don't sleep very well, because I think of those little children.....that are being poisoned... and that are being fed chemotherapy and radiation. And, and, infants and..and ,.......This is so horrible!"
Cecil "Pooey" Hoeg:
"Find out how good it is! I know it's good! But listen, it's more than "just for cancer"...."
Rick Simpson:
"If you have a serious medical condition, such as cancer, what right does anyone have to tell you, that you cannot use hemp medicine?"
James Albert Leblanc:
"Take a look...of, of me six months ago... I was.... up and down, up and down, like I had no energy... had nothing to do. Like now, I want to live! I WANT TO LIVE! Ya know, God put it out there for us. Why ain't we using it? Why're we, why're we denying this to somebody who's going to save someone else's life?"
Rick Simpson:
"If people would just realize how much this medicine can help them, the world would be a better place!"
Eric Donkin:
"It's a miracle medicine. There's no way around that!"
Cecil "Pooey" Hoeg:
"I got nothin' else to say, but, ya know, it's good! Its..it does the trick. It works!"

"All these people, they...... how do you NOT believe this? I mean, it's...it's right before your eyes!
Eric Donkin:
"In January '07, my father came to stay with my wife and I, because his cancer had become unmanageable. He could not stay alone any more. At this point, the man had fluid in both lungs, couldn't even hardly walk around, his breathing had gone down to 70% and he was... on his last legs. We started him on the treatment, and inside of three months, the cancer was completely gone! In between that, the man got nothing but better! The man improved every day from the time he started the oil, until the time when he started a maintenance dose in March."

James Albert Leblanc:
(text- UPDATE- JANUARY 2008) "When I went over for my cat scan, and uh, I was going down the hallway and ran into a nurse. And she was shocked when she seen me! I wish I'd of had a camera cause take the picture of her face! That's worth a million! And I went over to get the cat scan. I wasn't going to go, but I went over, 'cause I wanted to make sure. Ya know, like we always have that little doubt in your mind? And the results were, "I AM CANCER FREE!"....... And I'z the happy boy!!!" (laughs joyfully)

Rick Simpson:
"Cancer and disease today- a dose of reality.... I was born in 1949. I am a child of the 50s and 60s. When I was young, cancer and many other medical conditions that are so prevalent today, were quite rare. When my cousin, David, was diagnosed with cancer in 1969 at the age of 22, I thought that he had been misdiagnosed. Could a man of this age have cancer?"
Three years later, in 1972, Dave died from cancer at the age of 25. My cousin was the first person that I knew directly that died from cancer. I am not saying that people did not die from cancer in the 50s and 60s, but cancer at that time was rare enough that I did not know anyone that had died from this disease, until my cousin died in 1972."
"I spent most of my working career employed with the hospital system. From the 1970s, up until I was injured in 1997, I watched the exponential growth of cancer and many other conditions that had been considered rare. Every year that went by, the number of people that were stricken with these diseases continued to increase......and so did the death rates. During all these years, I often wondered, what was causing people to succumb to these diseases, that were increasing at such an alarming rate?"
"In the last few years, through my research, I have come to the conclusion, that this increase in disease, is caused by our environment. In our everyday lives, we are surrounded by chemicals, poisons and carcinogens that are wreaking havoc with out immune systems."
" Even our food supply, in many cases, is not fit for human consumption! Look at the hormones that are added to our meat! How could this be considered healthy or safe? Seemingly innocent products that we use in everyday life are full of carcinogens and other contaminants. In my estimation, about 90 percent of cancers are caused by our environment. Over the last few decades, the number of people affected by diseases like Crohn's, diabetes, allergic reactions, etc., have skyrocketed. And no one is doing anything to curb this trend."
"Through my research into hemp medicine, I have discovered that properly made hemp oil, is a cure-all that could at least give the public a chance to ward off these illnesses. Throughout man's history, hemp has always been known as man's oldest and safest drug. And hemp is non-addictive! Why is the public being denied the use of this medicine by our system?"
" The law that was put in place in 1923, restricting hemp's use, was a total sham! Laws are supposed to be put in place to do the greatest good for the greatest number. In hemp's case this did not happen. This law was put in place to please "big money", so they could increase their profit margins. What do they care if the Canadian public suffer and die due to this drug's restriction. Canadian people put their trust into the Canadian political, medical and legal systems, to do the right thing for the public. Unfortunately, to date, this issue has been ignored. We are in the middle of a cancer epidemic. To whom can the public turn?"
"In the name of the Canadian people, I am asking this system, to start working for the citizen's of this country and to end this needless suffering and death. I don't care if you work in our political, medical or legal systems, do you not have loved ones who have died for no reason? Why does our system support laws that are so obviously corrupt? What chance do any of our loved ones have if changes are not made?
"To me, in life, there is only right and wrong. To deny the truth about hemp medicine is a criminal act against the Canadian people! To continue hemp's restriction in medicine, could only be termed "insanity". If no one gives a damn, or cares for nothing but themselves, what future does mankind have?

Rick Simpson:
"Since my injury in 1997, our medical system, political system, and legal system have all done their best to keep me from the one medication that helps my condition. The simple fact that denying hemp's use to me could lead to my death, does not seem to matter to them. In Canada, we have what is known as a Marijuana Access Program. Even if a person is lucky enough through this program be granted a license to possess hemp, they are not allowed to collect resins, or to make the essential oil that contains the real medicinal value of the hemp plant. You can smoke hemp joints 'til the cows come home, but it is highly unlikely that smoking hemp will cure your cancer and the government knows it! The public have been led to believe that all you have to do is see your doctor for a prescription for hemp. The reality is.... that you have a better chance of winning the lottery! There is approximately, only about 2,000 people in this country that have a license to possess hemp."

Rick Simpson:
"After over two years of dealing with our legal system, I am truly sickened! What chance does an ordinary man have, when the laws and the people that enforce them, are denying reality? During my charter challenge, about 4 dozen sworn affidavits from people who had used hemp oil for many different medical conditions were presented. These affidavits were dismissed as if they meant nothing! Nine months later, at my Supreme Court trial, I had 10 patients and 6 doctors ready to testify..........but none were allowed on the stand! "
(text) SUPREME Court OF NOVA SCOTIA RICK SIMPSON TRIAL DOWNTOWN AMHERST MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2007 1:52 PM (52:25)
Rick Simpson:
"When you have people who have been cured of terminal cancer, ready to testify...and doctors to back it up, why would their testimony be disallowed? It seems that the justice system isn't looking very hard for a cure!..... Anyone can see the loss of revenue that the free use of hemp in medicine presents to the drug companies. But also, it is easy to see the suffering that hemp's medical restriction is causing. Are profits really more important than the health and welfare of the people who inhabit this planet? "
"Presently, we here at "Phoenix Tears", are launching a world-wide Internet protest to bring hemp back into mainstream medicinal use. Our hope is that many other web sites out there and the public, will support this protest to lift the restrictions that governments have put in place against hemp's use.
