What a society we live in, huh? Anyone over 21 can kill themselves with booze & cigs [18 for those]...which do kill how many hundreds of thousands annually?
But an innocent plant that's never harmed anyone will put you behind bars for years!! Does this sound totally ridiculous? Is this govt ever going to realize that the 1st Prohibition only created Organized Crime & this 2nd Prohibition is causing many to suffer pain needlessly, line the pockets of street thugs [except for the superb growers I know...they're just helping the peeps who live in non-Medical MJ States] & put otherwise innocent people in prison.
My nephew got 2 yrs in prison for selling a 1/4 oz to an undercover MP. He'd see child molesters & rapists come & go before his sentence was even close to ending. What kind of sense does this make? Why can't govt officials realize the stupidity of all this?
I've got spinal-stenosis & my pain management doc is on the same wave-length as we are. He said if this State were to ever go 'Medical MJ', I got a scrip waiting. In the meantime, a few growers comp me my weed to help ease the pain. I hope 1 day before I die, I see total Legalization. 30 yrs ago, I thought by now we'd have legal weed. Now? I doubt it.
