I received a very nice email from my House Representative, Adam Putnam (FL-12), when I followed NORML’s link above (“To support the Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act of 2009, please log on to NORML’s Take Action Center here.”). I linked in September 2010 and he responded on September 7, 2010. I have typed the email he responded with on my Facebook page: Patricia Bixenman Young.
At that time Bill HR2835 was not dead but in consideration by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Do your part and go to the link above and click on “here” and let your House member know your feelings. I am sure that this action by you will have to be repeated when the newly elected House members take office.
Thank you,
Patricia Bixenman Young

I’m wasting away fighting to get to a specialist i can’t afford. Over 300 plus pills to stop the pain…FAIL. Tried cannabis to see if it would help. Wow. Its nice to have 4 normal days after years of pain and wasting. Could careless if you smoke eat or do it in the privacy in your own home. I have an illness that has no cure. Pills don’t work for so many reasons. I wish every opposition could feel the pain I go through. We need protection from abusive law enforcement that wish to make law and not enforce. Those people that are suppose to serve and protect. I wish people really understood the need of real medicine, Like the doc says you gotta take what works for you. Until those of you that oppose, becomes ill or have a loved one get ill you will go on like the blind leading the blind.
Kids and drugs never mix.
Read study find out for yourself. stop believing general statements find out the facts.
Support cannabis control it. Protect the people.

Sentences outweigh the crime. It’s a crazy world ain’t it?
The government should legalize it. It makes the whole thing more controllable. And that’s what gov is after ain’t it? Did I mention the tax income boost it will give?
I still find it funny that a country which is famous for prescription drug abuse cannot find a proper solution to one of the most harmless of presc drugs; Weed. I guess the green stuff has too much political gravity.

If the goverment was smart like they say they are they would look back at there own records that from only a year of DEA controlled search and seizures there was 10 billion dollars in only cash, properties,and cars, the weed is sapposedly burned.why wouldnt you use that idea to make an international tax for import/export local tax for licenses to smoke national tax on right to grow. laws for distrabution (so selling would still be ilegal to your friends)makin more jobs once you legalize it because more scientist would be needed or you could pay people who would have a hordacultureal degree (plant science), either way it creats more jobs. smoking weed is less likely to casue accidents for those people who use than alcohol, or most other perscription drugs that make you tired or sick etc.

The real problem is not the marajuana but the years of abuse that some of the marajuana users have done to the peaceful loving pot users like me . like the church wierdos that want to worship it and say its sacrid and hide behind it as a symbol when they go to jail lol, its just a good weed that medically yes has very good value and yes non medically has very good value , theres no need to fight over this america, im all for taxing it and making it legal but dont arrest people for just having a good time and not harming anyone. Come on , ever seen anyone that was high start a riot or kill someone? have a nice day

Neurogenesis1:29…Manny here.

It seems we have an ongoing discussion, and are on the same page. R.O.E is pretty much right on too. I look forward to your comments, and enjoy your dedication to the cause.

What seems evident to me is…there are many posts that include God. I can easily imagine how that makes prohibs blood boil…due to the fact that they “insist” that God is against cannabis. So, for their insistence, I offer, as reference,

Genesis I:11,12 “He/she makes it.”
Genesis I:29,30,31 “He/she gives it.”
Genesis IX:3 “He/she reaffirms it.”

Just as a point, I’m not a fanatic…far from it… because…I’m an individualist…but…”my Faith”…
not religion…is based on trust and belief. I believe
in “Manna” as the Holy Sacrament for CDXX Communion. When you think about it…what other reason do I need… but to embrace God’s word.

Ya know…it doesn’t matter what religion one follows, the chapter and verse we keep quoting is found in every scripture. Amen

The only problem I have with schedule II is its limited in use and research. Well…that’s baby steps. Its proper place is schedule III. Hell! its proper place is
completely off the schedule. It’s a food, not a drug.
Next thing you know…chicken soup will be a schedule I.

RE:
Mantis,
- As I’ve said before, elsewhere,
a God-Given plant should NOT be on a
more restrictive “schedule” than isolated, synthetic compounds based upon that plant’s derivatives,
(As if plants should be on any schedule to begin with…).

- As for chicken soup, galangal-root,
a traditional spice-ingredient in east-Asian / Thai cuisine, (hot and sour soup),
is forbidden by recent, (as of 2005), Louisianna state law that bans whole list of plants that
might be psychoactive in excessive amounts.
