My pet peeves about medical marijuana.
What really upsets me about the medical marijuana issue, are people and politicians who have been brainwashed by propaganda for 70 years, have their minds set and no interest in the truth about marijuana. Those who are ignorant and have no desire to learn are the most dangerous of all, for they will cloud, stain and hide the truth to achieve their goal of keeping the rest of us ignorant.
Ignorance is as evil an enemy as any the human race has ever encountered. It keeps our children out of college, brakes up families, turns neighbors against one another and fills our prisons. It keeps patients with Cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Diabetes mellitus, Dystonia, Fibromyalgia, Gliomas, Gastrointestinal disorders, Hepatitis C, Hypertension, Incontinence, Multiple sclerosis, Osteoporosis, Pruritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Sleep apnea, Tourette's syndrome, chronic pain and much more from getting the safer medical treatment they deserve.
I’ve sent many emails with facts, testimonials from doctors and scientists, a letter from a former, US Surgeon General and my contact information to every legislator in ND over the past year. My only replies came from Byron Dorgan, Earl Pomeroy and John Andrist. I must say that Earl Pomeroy needs an education on this subject badly, but seems to feel safer being ignorant and hiding behind the Feds with the rest.
Our politicians must be willing to learn the truth beyond the DEA and Federal Government. Our politicians must be willing to hear and read the science of this medicine. In the last 10 years literally hundreds of studies have been done around the World, and in the US recently. These studies show the medicinal, sometimes amazing effects that Tetrahydrocannabinol THC (the active chemical in marijuana), Cannabidiols CBD, Cannabigiol CBG as well as other cannabinoids and flavinoids have on many, many ailments. Not to mention the fact that even smoked marijuana has been proven safer than caffeine, tobacco, alcohol and every drug on the market that has the potential to kill people, including aspirin and Tylenol.
They say “It’s not your father’s weed, it’s 20 times more potent”. I can tell you for a fact that Marinol is a legal pharmaceutical drug that is 100% pure THC. There isn’t even a possibility of their statement being true, and even if it was, it can never be 100% pure from the plant. The plant contains all the THC, CBD, CBG and flavinoids that do the job naturally all together. They can’t patent a plant and Marinol doesn’t work for most patients. Help educate our congress, senate and governor. Let’s change the laws!
Sincerely,
Del Snavely
