Federal Government Claims Marijuana Has No Medicinal Benefit.

The corrupt, federal government has ruled that marijuana has no medicinal benefit; but, they didn't stop there and went on to claim it should remain in the same class as heroin!! Heroin??? They know very well that the two are about as similar as beer, and heroin. These regulatory bodies are all too often corrupted by the very industries they are supposed to police. In this case, it seems the big drug companies are heavily influencing them to stick to this absurd opinion out of avoiding competition.

Growing numbers of people know that the old line, which says marijuana is similar to heroin has been debunked. The fact that they keep sticking to this insult to our intelligence reminds me of, "The Wizard of Oz." In particular, the scene where the "wizard" is finally found out to be nothing but an old man spewing propaganda behind the curtain (to see clip, click on this sentence). Even after being discovered, he still tries to keep up the charade until it's hopeless. As annoying and illogical as this "finding" is from the feds, I think it's the last gasps of a failed drug policy toward marijuana.

This ruling is a huge, collective slap in the face to highly esteemed and credited doctors throughout America, and the world, who see the benefits of marijuana in their patients. When it comes to medical issues, I'll trust the opinions and findings of doctors over politicians, any day. The drug companies don't want competition from a natural herb that people can grow in their own homes; and the DEA and law enforcement (in part) want to keep it illegal to keep them in jobs!! This is less about medicine from their end and more about political power and corruption. This ruling is also spitting in the face of the millions of citizens who've democratically voted to legalize medicinal marijuana in 16 states, and the District of Columbia.

This won't stop the advocates of marijuana who see the real medical benefits from this wonder drug. We'll push on until all 50 states legalize it and the federal government will be forced to finally accept reality. Perhaps, even, the goal should be full legalization to avoid any wiggle room for a corrupt federal agency to keep up the lies and distortions. I'm a hard-core liberal but even I accept that the federal government has over-stepped it's authority and decency in regards to sick patients who find merciful relief from their very real ailments through this non-addictive, all natural, substance.

Voters Support Legalizing Marijuana in California by 9 Points!!

Listen up marijuana advocates and put down the bong (just for minute) and get some good vibes from this monumental news. A recent PPP poll that shows the proposition in California to legalize marijuana and tax it is ahead by 9 points!! And amongst those who are 45 and younger it is ahead by 20 points!! I think that's monumental news. There is a green tide of smoke wafting across America and it smells like freedom but don't get smoked up on election day ya' heard?

Don't say you're going to vote and then get too blazed the night before and wake up late. Or the ghost of Mary Jane will haunt ya!! Find out the election day, write it down on your calender, or in your smart phone, or tattoo it on your hand because you don't want to be the ass who forgot to vote!! Make it apart of a party--get your buddies together, go vote, come back home and celebrate with dem healing herbs. Or better yet, figure out how to vote early and do it that way so you won't have to remember to vote on election day.

Seriously, this is the time to show the naysayers that law-abiding adults can enjoy the medical, spiritual and recreational benefits of marijuana responsibly; and help fund health and school programs with the tax dollars gained from the sales. This is America and we should have the freedom to ingest this ancient, healing, plant without the threat of jail. There are countless police officers who support this too because they know the truth--they see it on the front lines. Marijuana is not a problem drug--meth is and that's where the biggest problem lies if you ask any honest police officer, judge or district attorney. And don't forget to donate to the cause--chip in $10, $20, $50 dollars to the campaign to legalize by donating to "Yes on 19." Don't be greedy and spend all your money on buddz!! We all need to help out even if we don't live in Cali because a movement always has to start somewhere!! Peace, Love and Respect.
