Right On
Do you all out there know that there are 1,000s of acres of hemp growing in
middle america, they are left over from rope manufacturing for WWII.I have
flown over them and seen them myself, it is almost imposible to kill it all
unless you use herbicides like "Agent Orange", so "our Govt" has bought the
land and controls the growth.
I am not paralyzed, but have known of the use of pot for many years and am
aware of many DAVs that use it for spasms.
We wont see legalized pot until american business people fall into line and
want to profit from the sale as a prescriptive drug. Till then It will be one
person at atime and there is no to be sure that the govt. will not reverse
there decision.
I hope that the govt big wigs will soon take the sting out of the use of pot
and also take out the profit gain from illegal sales.
Lets face it, there is more pots floating around out there, then doctors
could prescribe in one year.
Hear hoping that you all get your way, you got my vote
Later

I'm glad to hear that someone suffering from spasticity was able to
find relief from pot. I have considered having a Baclofen pump put in.
It is a crime that if the therapeutic benefits of marijuana have been
well documented that the FDA would be so close-minded as to deny its use
for treatment for spasticity. I think that because pot has gotten such a
bad rap as an illegal drug that the government would like to deny any
therapeutic benefits. What a strange world we live in when a beneficial
medication is stonewalled by our own government through bureaucratic
redtape. What is the most effective way to put pressure on the
government aside from writing letters to congressman?
