		<description>I WONDER???????????????????????????????????????????

And I&#039;ll wager that Neurogenesis1:29 could answer this better than I could.  It&#039;s a health issue. A physician has recommended the use of cannabis as having effecacy.
It&#039;s now a matter of patient&#039;s rights.  I wonder what the ramifications would be as to &quot;Patient&#039;s Rights Litigation.&quot;  Are there any attornies out there that would like to take a crack at this?  Patients are a powerful lobby.</description>

		<description>I was at the meeting at the tivoli in Colorado. july,20 2009 (i was in opposition #35).  it was nice to see fellow patients stand  up for thier rights! I have used MJ since i was 16 ,i&#039;m 43 now, and probably could have continued without the medical marijuana certificate, but, I thought  of the bigger picture! the more people who stand up and put MJ in the news  for good reasons  the better.  It&#039;s my part to fight the good fight you are all wanting. as of now  i think of myself a soldier in the (Anti-Drug War). Our purpose is to not take the hill, our objective is the Federal Govt&#039;s schedule one classification! thats  the end game,thats  what we want!.

When the states become unwilling  accesories  to subversion  all the better! as you said , its the people speaking  now. Hopefully, the feds will eventualy capitulate  and take MJ off schedule 1 and toss it to three and start to see the benifits of this miracle of God.

 KEEP FIGHTING I AM!</description>

		<description>Why don&#039;t we start a national chant

1 to 3
SHIT OR
GET OFF THE POT

Move it from schedule I
Put it in schedule III

Send that message to U.S Health and Human Services.
They could make it happen tomorrow.</description>

		<description>I say this with a kind heart, and a gentle spirit.  Don&#039;t take it personal.  My intent is not to offend.  My intent is to light a fire under your ass.

Look!...we&#039;re using our &quot;SMALL VOICE&quot; here.  We enjoy using our &quot;SMALL VOICE&quot; because it poses no opposition.
We all feel the same way.  We are a &quot;MUTUAL ADMIRATION SOCIETY.&quot;

Now!...We have to &quot;FACE REALITY.&quot;  We have to record our &quot;SMALL VOICE&quot; on a voting ballot, and turn it into our &quot;BIG VOICE.&quot;  That means...&quot;VOTE!&quot;  If you can&#039;t, or won&#039;t, &quot;VOTE,&quot;  for one reason or another, you can use your &quot;PHYSICAL PRESENCE&quot;...like say...Colorado has.  When you can fill Mile High Stadium with a Bronco&#039;s Pep Rally...that&#039;s &quot;PHYSICAL PRESENCE&quot;.  When you can violate fire occupancy codes with your presence...that&#039;s &quot;PHYSICAL PRESENCE.&quot;  When you can render your adversary helpless with your presence...
that&#039;s &quot;PHYSICAL PRESENCE,&quot;  and that may be the next best weapon, after your &quot;VOTE.&quot;

Just remember what John Wayne said...
&quot;OFF AND ON IT&quot;...Off your ass and on your feet!  Saddle up...let your feet take you to the voting booth...or...right down to your elected representatives local office, and say it with conviction...
&quot;SHIT OR GET OFF THE POT&quot;
and you know what &quot;POT&quot; I&#039;m talkin&#039; about.  Your re-election is in my hands...not in my words.</description>

		<description>33,34,35  Stephen...&quot;It shouldn&#039;t matter if a growing operation is legal.&quot;

If you&#039;re cultivating one leaf without a physician&#039;s recommendation, your &quot;ILLEGAL,&quot; and it does matter, especially to the judge that is going to sentence you.
and
anticipating the death of old fucks, or referring to babyboomers as retarded, is absolutely no way to make friends and influence people.  Think about it youngblood.</description>

“Total Nationwide Legalization” will never occur until the Food and Drug Administration says cannabis has “current medical use in the United States…and
…low potential for abuse.” When that happens…then the legislators can say “I do”…and…say it without
reprisal from the POT-PHOBIC PROHIBS…because they vote too. Plus…pharma-beasts will have had their wings clipped. We’re a long way off…but…we’re on the down sloap. 
&lt;i&gt;The pressure should be applied to the FDA.&lt;/i&gt; 

&lt;b&gt;RE: 
- The ONLY regulatory-role which 
the FDA should have regarding cannabis 
is ensuring 
PRODUCT-QUALITY / FREEDOM from CONTAMINANTS 
and GENUINENESS of PRODUCT, 
when / if packaged for retail-purchase. 
OTHERWISE, 
they ought to M.T.O.B!!!
&lt;/b&gt;
(Why does a plant, 
with a 5000 year safety-record, 
need &lt;i&gt;&quot;FDA-approval&quot;&lt;/i&gt; anyway???)</description>

		<description>In California, it&#039;s Supreme Court doesn&#039;t recognize the &quot;CAREGIVER.&quot;  Their opinion is that there was no &quot;CAREGIVER RELATIONSHIP&quot; established prior to  becoming a Qualified 11362.5 Patient.  In essence...
the Collective or Cooperative, and its members are the &quot;CAREGIVER.&quot;  Ya!  We need to take that to a higher court.  Any relationship, has a inception, and it is from that date the relationship exists and maintains its identity.  Don&#039;t think California still
doesn&#039;t have its problems, but we are taking care of them.  Right now it&#039;s the California Police Chiefs Association, and a guy named Issa.  We disposed of San Diego as a thorn in our side...but then there&#039;s Issa.</description>
