Waiting to Inhale: Champaign-Urbana Screening and Panel Discussion - 
Nov. 12, 2007      

Free - Open to the public

Waiting to Inhale examines the heated debate over cannabis and its use 
as medicine in the United States. Twelve states have passed legislation 
to protect patients who use medical cannabis. Illinois has had medical 
cannabis laws on its books since 1971, but refuses to enforce these 
provisions, while choosing to continue criminally prosecuting medical 
cannabis users. Yet opponents claim the medical argument is just a 
smokescreen for a different agenda - to legalize cannabis for recreation 
and profit. What claims are being made, and what are the stakes?

Waiting to Inhale takes viewers inside the lives of patients who have 
been forever changed by illness - and parents who lost their children to 
addiction. Is marijuana really a gateway drug? What evidence is there to 
support the claim that cannabis can alleviate some of the devastating 
symptoms of AIDS, cancer and multiple sclerosis? Waiting to Inhale sheds 
new light on this controversy and presents shocking new evidence that 
cannabis could hold a big stake in the future of medicine.
