The Prez elect has been doing the soft shoe and skidding off the stage when we ask him about how he is going to help us when it comes to at least medical marijuana being a state's right issue that the federal marshalls should stay out of.  Here's a letter I sent to the Hill, which hicks like my Iowa senators read. Turns out that the Hill switchboard, as it were, lit up on fire once pot was posted as an issue. I posted one for us, too. Yeah, here is a copy of just how: I have current scripts for 15 mg extended release morphene sulfate, 5mg percocet and 50 mcg fentanyl. If "high" was what I wanted I have but to reach out to the dope jar and get stoopid. you know, opium in three exceedingly potent forms by script has to tell you I am either a total liar or telling you the truth, "I am not interested in getting high" WHAT I AM INTERESTED IN TELLING YOU IS THAT I WANT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PUBLICALLY SUSPEND ALL FEDERAL INVASIONS OF STATES OVER THE ISSUE OF CANNABIS FOR ANY REASON REMOTELY MEDICAL. I am in agony. I have been in three traffic wrecks and not one my fault. do you think that makes the migraines and fiery spine feel less agony? well, hell no, it  doesn't! “On Election Day, over 3 million voters decided to legalize the medical use of cannabis in Michigan, making it the 13th state to enact laws allowing the legal medical use of marijuana. While campaigning, you pledged: ‘What I’m not going to be doing is spend Justice Department resources to try and circumvent state laws on this issue.’ As President, will you and your Attorney General uphold this promise not to target and prosecute patients and providers who are in compliance with state medical marijuana laws?" Now, I live in Iowa and just to let you all in on a little secret we have real drug warrior hicks in the senate representing this place. a couple of real morons who are unable to 'surrender' to just any old thing... like truth or freedom from terror by police for the people they are responsible for. I wonder if these two, Grassley and Harkin, think I and my fellow born here in Iowa citizens are their little footie soldiers. If they do then they are as dirty as Richard M Nixon ever was. And just as psychotically deluded from the real world as he was, as well. Do these two idiots think we Iowans are their little toys? We do not want to be part of either one of you two idiots "surrender" to drugs. Your idiotic drug war is already Over. You Lose. What are you going to tell me, Grassley? what? when the entire northern border of Iowa goes legal medical next year, then what blabbering horseshit will you put up to all of the Iowans you disrespect so deeply as you have been doing to us for years to misinform and lie to us over and over about cannabis? And what about our coming presidential hopeful? I strongly doubt you ( Obama ) are worth a hoot when it comes to the economy. this is a ten year major depression with better than sixty years of leg room for betrayal at the top and we it have headed right at us. wars cost lots of money and gw liked to be the 'decider' and the decider had pretty much of an unlimeted amount of public money to do what he wanted to with. But, the Truth is very different, isn't it? Only a fool would think you are going to waltz in here and fix what that homicidal madman broke over the course of his entire prezidency. BUT YOU CAN FIX CANNABIS FOR US. It has been given to you to be able to do so. It won't fix all these sad ills, of course it won't. But we will know a nice gesture when one is made to us out here in the fields, as Roger Daltry might say. Please don't promise us the moon when you discover, probably right along with the rest of us, more crap. I don't like boolshit and my friends don't, either. Let's just be straight with the peeps, ok? It is going to be a different world by the time you get out, Obama. So, how about you get with that much and we will all hunker down as we start to figure it out for ourselves and lose this "I am a rich ass of some sort, and I am a little decider, too" because the whole world is probably about to get served  humble pie and eat till we get the message. Yep, there is no shortage of 'em. The question is: will we learn mercy? We need to learn mercy. Here we are right upon Christmas and we have this wonderful example of how just one of us can make a lasting difference. Now, There was a Real Decider! I would give everything I own or have just to see His face for even a little while. God, bless our homes, all of us, everywhere and help us to learn your gentle lessons about mercy and forgiveness.  Hope is very real. I am going to grow my way out of this recovery from the hospitalizations. I can do this. God Bless Your Families
 
yeah, you can leave it all to us, but you suck if you do. oh, that wasn't politically correct? kiss my ass if you are so damned lazy and just about you that you can not summon up enough energy to email your dead ass representatives.

Legalize our pot! [color=#FF0000]70+% of the American public is for legalized reefer right now!![/color] this address is from a bunch of cops and judges who are risking far far more than you are just to get the truth out to the government. It is from us To your congressional representative because [color=#FF4000]they have been lied to and we need to make it clear We are wanting legalized cannabis to reduce crime and make our streets safer just like these brave cops at LEAP are telling us will happen.[/color] this is the message I sent and if you use the site address you can quickly punch it out, too. you must not wait on just us loudmouths to do this for you and your spouse's safety! you must not have Anyone substitute for Your stepping up and telling the government what you want. if you do this the cops are not going to discover you or follow you or any of that bullshit whatever. Remember, you are not hurting anyone to demand your rights to grow your family's medicine or your own relaxation in your own home. As your constituent, I’m writing to you with an important question: Would you like to know how we can boost America’s ailing economy by tens of billions of dollars every year and make our communities safer? All we have to do is learn a lesson from 75 years ago in America’s history, back in 1933, when our leaders had the good sense to stop spending so much money on the ineffective prohibition of alcohol in the midst of the Great Depression. Today, we spend tens of billions of dollars a year arresting, prosecuting and locking up far too many Americans under this generation's failed prohibition policy, the "war on drugs."  But drugs are generally cheaper, more potent and more available than at any point in history. But that’s not the worst of it. During alcohol prohibition, gangsters like Al Capone were using illegal booze profits to run rampant in our cities.  Today, in addition to dealing with violent domestic gangs, we are also under attack from international cartels and terrorist networks like Al Qaeda, who make money off of drugs only because of today’s prohibition. Ultimately, judging the merits of our drug policy - which seems to hurt countless citizens and help only violent criminals and traffickers - requires that we first have a true accounting of all its costs. But while we know that direct government expenditures on drug prohibition cost tens of billions of dollars every year, there are also numerous corollary costs that aren't easily tallied.  For example, what about tax revenue not collected from wages of drug market employees and on properties where drugs are produced? And let's not not forget the diminished wages (and tax payments) of people who find it hard to secure gainful employment because of criminal records. That's why I'm writing to urge you to support the creation of blue ribbon commission that can take a serious look at the real cost of continuing our ineffective approach during a time of economic crisis.  The results of a comprehensive review, I believe, will make it crystal clear that under our limited budgets, prohibition is a failed drug control policy that we just can't afford any longer. Why not take a good look at the facts before our fiscal reality forces us to cut essential services that are actually necessary for protecting public health and safety for our children and families?  This is a serious issue with real consequences that we cannot afford to ignore.  I look forward to reading your thoughts on what actions you think policymakers should take to solve the problems caused by our failed drug prohibition policy. Thanks in advance for your attention to this important matter. Let's hit em with our very legal demand for cannabis. We want the cops who are helping us out in this letter to have our support! Why not? They sure are giving us theirs!! [color=#BF00BF]This message is from cops and judges who want the drug prohibition shut down because it is a bunk ass idea. [/color] God Bless These Cops and Judges for their integrity and their courage!  :Bravo:  :Bravo:  :Bravo:  :Bravo:  :Bravo:  :Bravo:  :Bravo:

After listening to I don't know how many times the probation/parole officer tell me about how marijuana is addicting and kills people who drive under its influence I just want to puke from the overload of lying bullshit. What Bush? Is it possible that pot does Not destroy the ability to drive? Right. Try this: Marijuana and Driving: A Review of the Scientific Evidence

It is well established that alcohol increases accident risk.  Evidence of marijuana’s culpability in on-road driving accidents is much less convincing. Although cannabis intoxication has been shown to mildly impair psychomotor skills, this impairment does not appear to be severe or long lasting.  In driving simulator tests, this impairment is typically manifested by subjects decreasing their driving speed and requiring greater time to respond to emergency situations. Nevertheless, this impairment does not appear to play a significant role in on-road traffic accidents.  A 2002 review of seven separate studies involving 7,934 drivers reported, “Crash culpability studies have failed to demonstrate that drivers with cannabinoids in the blood are significantly more likely than drug-free drivers to be culpable in road crashes.”  This result is likely because subject under the influence of marijuana are aware of their impairment and compensate for it accordingly, such as by slowing down and by focusing their attention when they know a response will be required.  This reaction is just the opposite of that exhibited by drivers under the influence of alcohol, who tend to drive in a more risky manner proportional to their intoxication. Today, a large body of research exists exploring the impact of marijuana on psychomotor skills and actual driving performance.  This research consists of driving simulator studies, on-road performance studies, crash culpability studies, and summary reviews of the existing evidence.  To date, the result of this research is fairly consistent: Marijuana has a measurable yet relatively mild effect on psychomotor skills, yet it does not appear to play a significant role in vehicle crashes, particularly when compared to alcohol.  Below is a summary of some of the existing data.  (For more information on NORML’s position regarding marijuana, driving and the law, please click here or visit NORML’s Principles of Responsible Cannabis Use.) Summaries Crash culpability studies On-Road Performance Studies Driving simulator studies I can put up more. It is the sort of thing I read, but will probably put off the average reader so I leave it off for your sake. Read this site: http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=5450 So, we have put up doctors of nursing science who tell us pot doesn't hurt pregnant mommies, and now we have serious proof pot doesn't hurt driving skills. I can tell you this for sure, a cell phone does a whole lot more than mildly impair driving skills from the way I have seen peeps blabbering on them pull out in front of a bus I was in several years ago.

It is coming out and can not be silenced. We Need legalized cannabis for our personal, family needs. I, personally, am repulsed by the idea I need or require some medical "expert" to tell me how to, or anything, treat my kids with cannabis. I do not regard cannabis as a difficult issue. I regard intrusive, control freaks as very difficult issues and wish them on their way, far away. It is perfectly fine if you ask for it, but we need the control freaks to get off our backs and away from our freedoms. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3873387618754702245&ei=DUXkSPOpI5Gu-AH7x80F&q=medical+marijuana&vt=lf a bit of humor? glad you asked: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6015000186042700962&hl=en Brain deterioration from pot? here is a medical table of specific types of cancer THC stops or slows: Table 2 | Tumours that are sensitive to cannabinoid-induced growth inhibition

How about raging deviation from the medical facts as reported by the federal government and then covered up by the same nutty outfit? That table was about how cannabis shrinks tumors in lung cancers, not causes lung cancer. That table was about how cannabis helps women dying from metastatic breast cancer. How, in the name of God, can our own government be against disseminating cannabis??? There will come a time when cannabis extracts are taken in the morning like we take vitamins now. And the cannabis will probably do more good than the vitamins will because you can eat your vitamins from regular food, but not the cannabis. It will be a new food group. We need cannabis for our diet every day so we live longer, happier, more productive lives. We need to stop giving speed to our kids in school and be using a far safer drug: cannabis. I am definetly not for causing intoxication disguised as medication, however. We already have that with the kids taking speed as it is. Clearly more research of a non bigoted nature must be performed and soon. We need cannabis and we need to know its scope of use and what it will not do, as well.
