Medical Marijuana The government should recognize it.

Let me start off this post by stating that i in no way advocate the use of marijuana as a recreational drug. If you’ve seen my blog before you will know that i am very pro hemp. Well i came across a documentary on marijuana use and it was centered largely around medical marijuana and how proposition 215 in California can be overcome by the federal government because it is only a state legislation. Well i watched it showed many DEA raids on medical marijuana facilities and many people who genuinely legitimately needed medical marijuana were arrested or were protesting with tears in their eyes. Medical marijuana can be used to ease the pain from AIDS if i recall right isn’t aids one of the nations top priorities? The government seems to focus more on the prevention of aids now don’t get me wrong prevention is very important but that doesn’t mean you should just throw those people who are already infected with aids in jail and conflict them of felonies for merely trying to ease the pain.

It seems the government throws these patients to the streets while claiming to care about AIDS. Granted many people abuse medical marijuana just to get high but they’re making themselves look like complete idiots. Also It is the constitutional right of the state to be able to make its own laws apart from the governments ie prop. 215. The governments failure to recognize this could lead to some serious consequences. One aside from many many riots and conflicts the failure of the government to cooperate with the states is what led to the civil war. I think that the government should either make medical marijuana legal just as many states have but make it harder for those who are just looking for a high to get it. Or stay out of the states who have already legalized its business. Marijuana should be treated as a medication. Not as an illegal substance especially not on schedule 1. Schedule 1 is reserved for substances that have shown to have NO possible medical use. such as cocaine, methemphedamine, lsd and other highly toxic substances. But marijuana has proven itself as a medication capable of helping people in ways that other medications cant. Also so many synthesized medications carry so much more dangerous side effects. What of people who don’t want to die from complications from other medications? To date there is no record of anyone ever being killed by marijuana but every year thousands if not tens of thousands die from prescription medications whether it be from overdose or an unforeseen complication.

So is it really right for the government to arrest those is real need of help and force the people to use other precription medications that carry sometimes deadly side effects? I mean i can see where people don’t want people who are all high running around the streets causing trouble. But medical users some of them are immobile and need assistance an others just need to relax. Imagine it your sitting there one day you have a terrible headache you go get some Tylenol or ibuprofen or some other drug and you get federal agents knocking your front door down and throwing you to the ground, I saw this one pro medical weed video it rang true. It showed this poor old women smoking medical marijuana and the DEA burst in and starts screamer at her to get on the ground. Meanwhile across the street theres a group of teenagers in a meth lab watching it all unfold. And if i recall right the dea shot the woman dead, im not sure i cant find it. Of course this video was just satire but it showed how the DEA is wasting money prosecuting these sick and disabled people while the real criminals could be just across the street brewing up meth and get away clean, METH kills marijuana doesn’t. who’s the real criminal here? The poor old lady probably with cancer or the murderous DEA who burst through her door when she was minding her own business? By the way something like that actually happened where dea agents burst through the door of a 92 year old lady who fired upon them as they threw her door down. She was an old lady who lived in a rough neighborhood you don’t have any clue who could be breaking your door down. I would have done the exact same thing and im a peaceful nonviolent person but if i fear for my life you can bet im shooting whoever s breaking my door down in the middle of the night.The cops were charged with murder and plead guilty.

This is a problem we must correct innocent people are going to jail because of the simple stupidity of the government. I mean the law makers in Washington seem to be so detached lets see what happens when one of them get cancer and no legal drug out there will help them, then what?

Let me once again state that i do not nor do i ever intend to smoke marijuana as a recreational drug. I believe that it should remain as such even so it will shut the government up. I have never smoked weed i see nothing wrong with it. There is NO real data to show that its any more detrimental to your health than cigarettes. But the government supposedly knows whats best for me (yeah right) so i will not somke it.

I hope that some politician or law maker will see that medical marijuana is a necessity and will rise to power and stop the fascist attacks on poor old women. Seriously busting down doors and shooting people is what the Nazis did.
