It may take a long time for logic to take hold in our democracy, however, it appears that we may be moving toward a rational cease fire in our war on medical marijuana users.
Join members of Americans for Safe Access - Maryland, on Sunday, October 4th and enjoy the lovely Takoma Park Main Street area for a day filled with music, fun, arts, crafts and family events.
Stop by and show your support for improvement to Maryland’s medical marijuana law. They can always use more volunteers to help spread awareness about the need to fix Maryland’s medical marijuana law.
The Street Festival is 3 blocks east of the Takoma Metro Station on the Red Line. When exiting the Metro station, head straight out the door and east on Carroll St., letting your ears guide you to the music...you can't miss us! Remember, the Festival will take place on Sunday, October 4th, 2009, from 10 to 5 pm, rain or shine.
Merriam-Webster.com lists one definition of "tolerance" as, "sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own."
Lately I have been struggling with how marijuana prohibition has lasted so long despite all of the evidence that prohibition doesn't achieve the goals of those who support prohibition and the fact that prohibition has always done more harm than good to every society that has implemented a policy of prohibition.
I came across a video of a brave young lady who shared her story on YouTube. She is suffering from Crohn's disease and uses Marijuana to deal with her symptoms from Crohn's disease and the negative side effects she experiences from her medications.
According to www.chronsonline.com, Crohn's "currently affects an estimated 500,000 people in the United States, Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation or swelling of the digestive tract, also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Crohn's disease can affect any part of the GI tract, though it usually occurs at the end of the small intestine, also known as the ileum, and the beginning of the large intestine, also known as the colon.
Crohn's disease often is mistaken for other GI disorders that cause similar symptoms, such as ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)."
What if this young lady was your sister or daughter? Should we through her in prison?
Does she need to be court ordered to a substance abuse rehabilitation program?
Our society has already sentenced her. I hope that she doesn't get hurt, or worse, trying to purchase marijuana, because that would truly be a crime!
People United for Medical Marijuana (PUFMM) is an extremely active and organized grass roots organization that is trying to legalize Medical Marijuana in Florida.
I think that they may achieve their goal in 2010, but they need your help.
Even if you don't live in Florida, it is important to support PUFMM because their success will eventually benefit every American Citizen, and our society as a whole.
