I for one being a disabled nam vet would certainly like to see marijuana legalized.I suffer from PTSD,depression,anxiet and panic attacks and have found that marijuana does more for me than any prscription meds that I have been using.I also have my first 5 lower disks flattened which has gone to digernerative disk desease.I take morphine and loratb 10’s.Again I have found that marijuana does more for my chronic never ending pain than does the meds that I am presently having to take.Considering the vast amount of marijuana thats grown here in Kentucky one would think that it would have joined the ranks of states that have made medicinal marijuana legal

Hats off to you. I truly hope that one day, the government will open their eyes and see that the drugs that they have deemed legal (prescripts, alcohol and tobacco) have caused so much more damage to families than marijuana. In my opinion, the government needs to make alcohol and tobacco illegal. Keep fighting the green fight, my friend.

Thank you for that, right now I cant help but remember the old days when I would roll up good one take off on a journey to a resevouir behind our 25 acre ranch those were the days here ten years have past now I’m going on 28 this year with my first born going on 7 months and to read this today June 22nd 1:04am helps me feel better that a responsible cannabis smoker can raise a family and teach their kids right from wrong. If only the everyday ordanary person each knew the facts about this so called drug war first it was started as an alternative to telling mexican laborers that they were not needed anymore either “LEAVE OR GO TO PRISON” Or for the black community another reason to get them off the street and have them on hard labor for years, Sometimes it make me question is our government really by and for the people. Dont think I’ve lost all hope but after these few years it makes me wonder about my son’s future… If only the people would come to scences and vote into law the federal or even state regulated sale and or consumbtion of cannabis Like more and more people are realizing that alcohol and tabacco are far more lethal than even the hight grade cannabis. Which brings me to my next point if the potency of cannabis is so great dosent mean its deadlier it just means you dont have to smoke as much and thats a good thing right. I think hopefully in the near future we as americans can see the true potential that cannabis has for our economy our community and our great country. Heres’ a lil food for thought put a drunk in a drunk tank with another drunk then put a cannabis user and another cannabis user in another who do you think is more likley to start a brawl. just a thought…Well guess i better stop chating for now but until next time live your life love your life and enjoy gods gifts… from children to parents and fine greens. Your average freindly cannabis connoisseur

Think on this Christian People who know and have read Revelations. The leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations. The gtree of life puts forth twelve manner of fruits. Textiles, Plastics, Fuel, Food, Lubricants, Pharmacueticals. I don’t remember all of them but there are twelve main industries that are affected by the cultivation of hemp/marijuana. But just with the six that I listed the amount of money filtered to congress from the PAC groups for these big businesses is inconcievable.

Thanks for bring to life your story, if more folks learned that what they are doing regularly is the same thing others are doing, it would blow their minds.
How about speaking in terms of DECRIMINALIZATION instead of legalization- this allows the saving of face for all those years of badmouthing that politicians and cops have done on the subject of cannibis.
Thank ya, and Y’all Take Care Now, Hear?

Well said. We need to bring democracy back and educate the people in this country. When my daughter started asking questions I simply pointed out the facts. People in our country are negatively impacted every second by alcohol, whether it is those who lose their lives or are forever maimed by a drunk driver or being battered and abused by a drinking partner. Any “they” consider marijuana harmful? Hah! Blind faith in our leaders will get us no where. Thank you for words, to someone like me who believes like you, it’s a huge comfort. Cindy

Amen, I thought I may have written this article while smoking a little pot….It sounds very much like my experiences.
Thank you for sharing.
I recently was caught up in a marijuana cultivation sting that was all politically motivated. When I get cleared (6/24 it will be thrown out)I am going to become an “In-your-face-Activist”….I am tired of this government’s BS. Hopefully, you will see and hear me in the news media.
Thanks again and I will forward this url to all my friends.
