Stop the Insanity

I moved to Washington 5 years ago in search of finding a places with compassionate use laws concerning medical cannabis and was really on my way to Vancouver,BC with a stop in Seattle for Hempfest, I never left. Washington at that time was one of a handful of states that had passed compassionate use laws in Washington it is known as RCW 69.51A which you can read to see what it says but basically after consulting your physician on the pros and cons of cannabis use it can be recommended by your Dr. which sounds great but there is a catch, those laws aren't being enforced equally throughout the state and it is because of the there are differing opinions of what constitutes a 60 day supply. The DOH in Feb or March came up with a recommendation of what constitutes a 60 day supply and they came up with 36 ounces of dry material and a grow room of 100 s feet, these figures came from scientific and medical research not law enforcement and the governor and what they are comfortable with, so they told them to come up with something else, you can check out the DOH website to read the whole thing www.doh.wa.gov/hsqa/medical-marijuana, but basically they have copied Oregon's limits and that doesn't work there so why would it work in Washington. since when did politicians and law enforcement need to be comfortable with decisions made between a Dr & patient on how to enforce the laws. The DEA continues to bust dispensaries and patients with compassionate cannabis laws just to keep the war against Patients(Drugs) going to fill their coffers, what about the millions of patients who could be helped and instead have to suffer because of these ridiculous archaic laws and how they are enforced. What about patients rights not to suffer and Oh yeah what about the Constitution, all of that went out the window when Nixon was President who helped the HMO's and started the DEA. Check out www.leap.cc to hear what law enforcement officers that were part of this war are saying how the only way to win it to end prohibition. My goal here is to try to educate and inform you to the truth about medical cannabis, as a medicine is very effective for many different ailments and patients who use it are not criminals as the law enforcement would have you believe, instead we are just like you, we just have found a medicine that works, gives a quality of life not enjoyed while on so many other prescribed drugs, and the fact that Marinol which is prescribed quite often Marinol is synthetic THC the active ingredient in cannabis which isn't as effective and costing from $10-18/pill my monthly prescription cost over 1300/ month for 120 pills, when cannabis is more effective and can be grown by patients or caregivers for much less. What they don't realize is that it isn't the THC most patients are interested it's the cabinoids like CBD & CBN which are effective for pain and nausea & appetite.
There is help but it will take each of us standing up and telling the government it's time for We the People to say we won't take the lies and suffering anymore. There are many scientific studies that have been done on medical cannabis in other countries but the DEA & FDA won't allow testing here because they know that the truth will come out and their lies will no longer be effective along with fear as a way to control the people anymore. Everyday I hear from more and more patients who are looking for help and an alternative to the narcotics that don't work and take your life away, I believe it is my responsibility to help each of them find the help they want and need so badly. Will you stand up with us so that if the need arises the medicine will be available for all. This War has to end...
