i beleave its good for many patiens and that taxing medicinal marijuana is for a good cause and safer then alchohol or ciggarets...if people say marijuana is a gate way to other drugs, then its just an excuse and over rated.its like me saying sex is a gate way to aids ...
please watch documentary RUN FROM THE CURE canadian man Rick Simpson cures terminal cancer with hemp oil and gives it away for free man is a saint not a criminal please watch the best documentary Ive ever seen RUN FROM THE CURE on youtube God Bless
We need more Tim Timmons. People just wake up and start talking to people, alot more people are for it than you know. Explain with logic and reason. It's simpler than you think. It's called honesty.
This is sickening. Watch the documentary "The Union: The Business Behind Getting High"
Then walk into your police department and directly ask them why it's illegal. It's what I'm going to do, and see if honest policemen will rise and agree that Marijuana is medical and shouldn't stop people from living. Stop sitting around, and start talking to neighbors.
There's no shame in helping people in pain. Everything bad we believe about marijuana has no foundation. No truth. Try to find some
we need to take this country back. we need to restart. america is full of hypocrites that are in power. look they even now want to tax us the air we each breath. and yes that will probably never get passed. but isn't the fact that they want to make this a law alarming enough?
My father has MS When he smokes, which he does alot , he forgets to cath. he gets bladder infections. He has many people around him who help, love and care for him, and everyone is getting fed up with him. he gets so high and can hardly talk or remember things, but thats not the real problem... he falls asleep in his chair and falls everyday. I smoke pot as well, i know its not a serious drug,but its really messing him up. When he doesnt smoke hes upbeat, awake, generally more responsive.
I remember when Medicare would only cover 5 catheters a month unless on active chemotherapy. It was like you were only officially aloud to pee 5 times a month.
Beyond that, you had to try to clean it with soap and hope. The only thing you were guaranteed was a UTI once a month -- and ultimate renal failure.
I feel for you relevant to your dad, man. When someone's only internal yearning is for a toke -- they've lost motivation to fully live.
@mygregg123 its for some ppl and not for others. it is for that specific person to decide weather or not it is good for them. Not the federal government!!!!!
@mygregg123 maybe he forgets things and doesn't talk because he has a neurological disease that is destroying his brain. Even if marijuana makes him less interesting to you, if he is sleeping and is suffering less idk why he shouldn't do it.
No im not a great writer. You got that wrong, I can see how you think its like that but its not. He passes out and smashes his face. When he doesnt smoke he doesnt do that. when he has no weed he remembers to clean and cath and then he doesnt get ecoli which is why he is in a rehab place now. he suffers less when he has no weed. I see first hand. I take care of him. evryday
sometimes I wonder if Im not getting the right help from his insurance. is there more first hand help they offer to ms patients that live "independenly" in an apartment complex?
Im not great at writing. So youll hafta bear with me. When he doesnt smoke he is so much clearer. He can talk fine, remembers things but he just seems genuinely unhappy. He says if he cant smoke he has no reason for living. I smoke to and I would have a real hard time quitting so i understand, but now that hes in a nursing home and he cant smoke. he is very clear to the point where I feel like I havent ever met this man before.
he seems stronger, he doesnt pass out and hit his head. he is losing weight because hes more into his therapy. He has goals of getting out. Hes very unhappy there, but hes doing well. I think he will get out but I dont know how long it will last. If he gets hurt again, or more ecoli infections happen, then he will hafta go back. I took control of his SSI checks so now he cant get weed anyway, so I will see how this works out.
LEGALIZE marijuana...its safer than alcohol and tobacco,even coffee.. and since its safer than all these (and more)..it should be legal so that the ppl can CHOOSE the safer drug first. then they could CHOOSE wether they want to do something ALOT more dangerous like alcohol or tobacco..ext. millions of ppl are making the MUCH safer choice to use cannabis rather than harder drugs..and rightly so. the government would rather see you go straight to substances 100+ times more dangerous than marijuana
I agree with you entirely. Poison Ivy, right along with Black Nightshade, Poison Oak and North Carolina Toadstools are all plants I'd refrain from smoking. They all have other uses - but smoking isn't one of them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
im against marijuana being legal all these mexicans getting arrested for selling it on the block then people open shops and sell to anyone this is trash legalizing it because anyone can buy it u dont have to be sick 1 star ima vote go to hell move to california if u want to smoke pot stop crying sissy roll on over on your wheel chair to california there closeing the shops outthere anyways haha
this is horrible, i may have lupus/ms ... mj makes me fel much better....and my gf saif if the doc wnated u to have it they would prescrube but um duh not here cuz its ILLEGAL ... she tried to make me feel stupid wit that one but i turned it on her
This is why, in the1930s, the then Drug Czar said this; " Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men" and this; "...the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races" Harry J. Anslinger Thats why we started Marijuana prohibition and we are now 70+ years into it, do you think its working? Write your state and federal legislators today, demand they tell the truth about Cannabis and Hemp to End Prohibition today! Stop the madness!
You're right my brotha' - the name of Harry J. Anslinger is one that should go down in infamy. The countless lives that he ruined - all at horrendous monetary cost to fellow taxpayers then and now is immeasurable.
Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural?
keep fighting for your right to a better quality of life. i'm fighting with you.
its so sad how many people have to suffer because of the wrongful illegality of a plant with such amazing medical benefits. (not to mention any of its myriad of other incredible and unparalleled uses as food, fuel, clothing, etc.)
Good for you Bill! And thanks for joining me in the ranks of the criminal underground! :-)
You're right - When you look back on the group of men and women who started our country - the extent to which they used hemp in every facet of their lives is amazing. Someone who disbelieves that only needs to go visit and view the original Constitution of the United States - then ask one of the archivists what it's printed on - Hemp. That's what Benjamin Franklin grew on his farm - Amazing!
A lot of people will tell you that this countrys founders only grew hemp for the fiber our hemp seed oil. There are records ofGeorge Washington separating the male and female plants. The only reason to separate the sexes is to increase potency of the psychoactive and medicinal properties of the plant. This is not done on hemp raised purely for industrial uses. Prohibition was not started until the early 1900s and is rooted in racism.
Great heartfelt message! I think that it is a complete travesty that any responsible adult be arrested for using cannabis. It is even worse when a person who is suffering from a serious medical condition, such as MS, it treated like a criminal just for trying to have a little bit better quality of life. I am a member of Texas NORML and am actively fighting for you. I really appreciate you for having the intestinal fortitude to make a public stance.
Wow Austin! Thanks for your powerfully worded message of support, Compassion and common sense logic.
And thank you at an even deeper level for your tireless work in what will ultimately represent the overturning of federal and state statutes purposefully designed to cultivate fear - particularly of the willfully ignorant variety. In Texas, Rick Perry would still imprison Galileo.
But we have Truth, Science and Compassion on our side - just as every scientific trial has shown.
God bless you and your fight against this insidious disease. Though I understand the passion necessity behind your cause, I worry that legalizing weed will put it more easily in the hands of kids and irresponsible adults. I know when they want to, they get their hands on it anyway and the myriad of other narcotics that have to be prescribed by a doctors but rolling over and giving up in the fight to keep drugs out of the hands of children has me on the fence on this issue.
Thank you so very much for your candor, your humility and your sincerity. I welcome your comments and questions.
I have 3 kids myself. My oldest daughter is a sports anchor for Fox News. My oldest son plays professional football. My youngest son just graduated high school 2 days ago.
As involved as I've been with their coaching and schooling, I absolutely understand
My options are opioids (Rush Limbaugh).- but they're both addictive and hepatoxic. I've got few options
Does anyone know where I can possibly find a text document of this? Maybe a state department documented publishing of this I mean it is a public hearings shouldn't everything everyone says be documented somehwere? If so I cant seem to find it. I've searched high and low and cant find anything besides these videos. The only reason I ask is because it doesn't seem very accurate to cite a you tube video as a source as plenty of stupid ass kinds make videos talking about legalizing pot!
bring up a great point, man. The context of the speech was a mock hearing - something I had never heard of, myself, until I was asked to be a part of it.
The camera man was acting out of charity and I was the only one who asked for a copy of his or her own personal segment.
There is, however, a Fox News Austin telecast fome the beginning of the legislative session that was actually filmed on the steps of the Capitol.
It was only about a 30 second spot - maybe I should pull it out.
Lets keep fighting for our right for a God given plant just like all others plants. We are probably hurting our Erath because of not growing this very GREEN plant saving much of our air..
Wow Ana - What a powerfully worded comment - totally on target like "Blunt Force Truth."
The same Gaea that provides us Marijuana also provides us Peyote, Mescaline and Psilocybin - all of which have shown statistically irrefutable results in helping terminally ill patients come to peace.of Spirit
Not to mention that when the government could eradicate the deficit and pay down the debt with the proceeds ...
Things like Compassion, Science and Truth get mangled along the way
Thank you so very much for your support - you can only do what you can do - then walk away knowing you'll have at least one thing on your"To Do" list next time they're in session (two years)
screw Medical Marijuana that just keeps people weak minded we need medical steroids ask a hiv person and they will tell you its the truth. If you dont believe me look who is telling you this garbage.
All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing...all it takes for social change is good people standing for what they believe in-despite the threat of force against you. That it integrity, thank you.
Please look into Ron Paul. He wants to follow the Constitution, which would get rid of the whole war on drugs through the tenth amendment. Control would be restored to the states and the people could vote for marijuana laws in their own state.
Even before the issue is on the ballot, we can educate voters. This video is a great start.
There are several individuals out there who are making testimonies. It is important that we all stand for what is right-and that is FREEDOM of choice in healthcare so that we can have the best treatment(s) available.
I encourage everyone to learn about the issue.
(Yes, this means actually doing research before forming an opinion.)
Politicians are afraid of people like you ArtGoddess8. You know way to much - You study way too much - And then you articulate the gathered body of data in strait-forward fashion.
They didn't like it much when Galileo did that. The same ones who put him prison have apparently reincarnated as paid pandering politicians representing the religious radical right.
If you're on MySpace, send me a friend request. I went to your page here on Youtube and what can I say other than ... you ROCK girl!
Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
If you go to my home page on MySpace - Ron Paul sits only underneath Mahatma Gandhi and the Dalai Lama. He represents what Republicans should be rather than what they have become.
8 is the Perfect number ArtGoddess - the Alpha and the Omega - the snake swallowing his tail - but I guess you already know that!
That is one of my favorite statements in the entire Bible - right along with "Love your enemies and pray or those who persecute you."
When you take it all together with "As oft as you did it unto the least of these my brothers - you did it unto me" - you've got to think that some of these politicians may have some really bad karma going into their next life.
By the way, I'm 52 also - April 1956 - missed Vietnam by one year. I'm looking at my Selective Service card even as I write.
The amount of money (your money - my money) the Fear Monger Bush spends pandering to the fears of his radical right wing constituency could've entirely funded health insurance and college for all of us and our children.
With the leftovers, we could've wiped out all the bad guys in Sudan, Darfur and Congo - then fed and provided health care to each one of those country's starving children.
You are so totally right man. Pharmacueticals and Alcohol are two of the largest among the lobbying groups that now wield the most powerful controls in Washington.
Both of those groups would be happier if I sent my maid out on the streets to by Oxycontin. Then I could change my name to Rush Limbaugh as well.
Give me a buzz anytime. I had a guy call from Turkey the other day. Just call on the number I give out in the video clip. I want to hear how your father is doing too.
And you are right gdawg - our grandchildren will thank us - though they may never understand how and why we had to fight such a long battle against our own elected politicians.
i have osteo sarcoma and pot is the only thing that helps with the nausea( i ingest 200mg. morphine daily for pain) here in tennessee i am a criminal.every day i pray that my govenor phil bredesen develops bone cancer just too see how bad life is for people like me. if he did i am sure he would smoke too.
The members of our governmental bodies that seem to have the greatest difficulty with compassion are the same ones who laud their own praises within that context. I think Jesus would describe them as "White washed tombstones under which lay dead men's rotting bones" ... the same ones who spend 40 billion dollars a month to support one man's ego but can't spend a dollar to assist the 200,000 veterans who now sleep underneath bridges.
It's late at night ... you know what that means don't you? It means a Happy Tim (that HAPPY thing will get you thrown behind bars every time) - so ... whatever it was that you said I could do ... I'm all in!
Organized Crime and Pharmaceuticals would have a lot to lose wouldn't they? Powerful lobbies - but Truth and Compassion will prevail - our grandkids will thank us.
Was that Jimi Hendrix or Jefferson Airplane ??!! Good stuff man!
YW, I have to say the same about your video. WV has the same law "cannot even speak in court to a jury of their medical condition. It is barred from evidence."
thats not right, I always wondered though, what would happen when you did get to talk to the jury, to call marijuana a "herbal remedy" or "medical marijuana" might make the judge mad, just explain thats what you call it. I wonder if someone could get away with that, It might be enough for a jury member to understand & nullify the case
I watched your Ron Paul video Towell Man - it was captivating and resonating! How can anyone ignore his message? He is the greatest stud of the entire campaign and one of my personal heros!
very inspiring speech, im from california where medical marijuana is "legal", yet the federal government has been raiding several clubs, this has got to stop! I really hope one day soon this country wakes up and realize what a wonder gift from god marijuana is.
Only in the past two years, the results of three different double blind placebo controlled experimental trials have proven what sick people have known for years. Marijuana helps people in suffering - in some cases even halting disease progression.
The Bush Administration chose to ignore or dismiss the results of all three. The current White House views compassion as too radical and science as illegal.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and, additionally, post a response.
I've never been able to figure out how so many caucasion fundamentalists can't read the responses of Jesus in Matthew 23 and two chapters later in Matthew 25 and not figure out that he was talking specifically to them.
They are the same spirits now as they were then - relying on "Codification" rather than COMPASSION.
Thank you for your friendship, your support and obvious knowledge very non addictive very researched drug. Try and keep Ann and Mark in line up there - and make sure and vote on the initiative that they'll have in Michigan next November.
You are so totally right my good buddy. Someday soon, the tide will shift from Neo-Conservative Imperialism to to Compassion based government rooted in documented scientific evidence.
With guys like you on our side - there's no way we can lose!
You've got me excited about that book you mentioned - I'll go look it up on Amazon right now. By the way ... my first experience with this wonderful medication (and sacrament) was a blend of AK-47 and Jack Herer.
Very very good stuff - stopped my spasms and made me into a lover of peace (which is illegal right now in the United States)
Medical marijuana, real medicine, real patients real doctors, being controlled by politics. Doctors should have the say on what will help a patient, not politicians! When was the last time you went to your representative when you caught a cold? Legalize compassion! God knows you too will need compassion sometime in your life!
I think weed is good if you need if but Im gettin sick of it I dont fuckin need it and I can't get it out of my head only day 1 I know the first week is the hardest but I will get there one promise to my self no matter what ill never smoke a cig again. weed is a differnt story but

It is even worse when a person who is suffering from a serious medical condition, such as MS, it treated like a criminal just for trying to have a little bit better quality of life. I am a member of Texas NORML and am actively fighting for you. I really appreciate you for having the intestinal fortitude to make a public stance.

Wow Austin! Thanks for your powerfully worded message of support, Compassion and common sense logic.
And thank you at an even deeper level for your tireless work in what will ultimately represent the overturning of federal and state statutes purposefully designed to cultivate fear - particularly of the willfully ignorant variety. In Texas, Rick Perry would still imprison Galileo.
But we have Truth, Science and Compassion on our side - just as every scientific trial has shown.
Thanks!

I couldent agree more with this video.
It is an offensive mockery to deny medical paitents the right to live life and feel better.
Illegal cannabis puts 100s of people in jail each year that dont deserve to be there.
Bless all who smoke cannabis around the world.
Peace

God bless you and your fight against this insidious disease. Though I understand the passion necessity behind your cause, I worry that legalizing weed will put it more easily in the hands of kids and irresponsible adults. I know when they want to, they get their hands on it anyway and the myriad of other narcotics that have to be prescribed by a doctors but rolling over and giving up in the fight to keep drugs out of the hands of children has me on the fence on this issue.

Hi Jane!
Thank you so very much for your candor, your humility and your sincerity. I welcome your comments and questions.
I have 3 kids myself. My oldest daughter is a sports anchor for Fox News. My oldest son plays professional football. My youngest son just graduated high school 2 days ago.
As involved as I've been with their coaching and schooling, I absolutely understand
My options are opioids (Rush Limbaugh).- but they're both addictive and hepatoxic. I've got few options

Does anyone know where I can possibly find a text document of this? Maybe a state department documented publishing of this I mean it is a public hearings shouldn't everything everyone says be documented somehwere? If so I cant seem to find it. I've searched high and low and cant find anything besides these videos. The only reason I ask is because it doesn't seem very accurate to cite a you tube video as a source as plenty of stupid ass kinds make videos talking about legalizing pot!

bring up a great point, man. The context of the speech was a mock hearing - something I had never heard of, myself, until I was asked to be a part of it.
The camera man was acting out of charity and I was the only one who asked for a copy of his or her own personal segment.
There is, however, a Fox News Austin telecast fome the beginning of the legislative session that was actually filmed on the steps of the Capitol.
It was only about a 30 second spot - maybe I should pull it out.

Wow Ana - What a powerfully worded comment - totally on target like "Blunt Force Truth."
The same Gaea that provides us Marijuana also provides us Peyote, Mescaline and Psilocybin - all of which have shown statistically irrefutable results in helping terminally ill patients come to peace.of Spirit
Not to mention that when the government could eradicate the deficit and pay down the debt with the proceeds ...
Things like Compassion, Science and Truth get mangled along the way

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing...all it takes for social change is good people standing for what they believe in-despite the threat of force against you. That it integrity, thank you.
Please look into Ron Paul. He wants to follow the Constitution, which would get rid of the whole war on drugs through the tenth amendment. Control would be restored to the states and the people could vote for marijuana laws in their own state.

Even before the issue is on the ballot, we can educate voters. This video is a great start.
There are several individuals out there who are making testimonies. It is important that we all stand for what is right-and that is FREEDOM of choice in healthcare so that we can have the best treatment(s) available.
I encourage everyone to learn about the issue.
(Yes, this means actually doing research before forming an opinion.)
ArtGoddess8 3 years ago
Politicians are afraid of people like you ArtGoddess8. You know way to much - You study way too much - And then you articulate the gathered body of data in strait-forward fashion.
They didn't like it much when Galileo did that. The same ones who put him prison have apparently reincarnated as paid pandering politicians representing the religious radical right.
If you're on MySpace, send me a friend request. I went to your page here on Youtube and what can I say other than ... you ROCK girl!
tabascocat4256 3 years ago
Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
If you go to my home page on MySpace - Ron Paul sits only underneath Mahatma Gandhi and the Dalai Lama. He represents what Republicans should be rather than what they have become.
8 is the Perfect number ArtGoddess - the Alpha and the Omega - the snake swallowing his tail - but I guess you already know that!

That is one of my favorite statements in the entire Bible - right along with "Love your enemies and pray or those who persecute you."
When you take it all together with "As oft as you did it unto the least of these my brothers - you did it unto me" - you've got to think that some of these politicians may have some really bad karma going into their next life.
By the way, I'm 52 also - April 1956 - missed Vietnam by one year. I'm looking at my Selective Service card even as I write.

You're right, man.
The amount of money (your money - my money) the Fear Monger Bush spends pandering to the fears of his radical right wing constituency could've entirely funded health insurance and college for all of us and our children.
With the leftovers, we could've wiped out all the bad guys in Sudan, Darfur and Congo - then fed and provided health care to each one of those country's starving children.
Wow.

Hey Billy - thanks man!
The members of our governmental bodies that seem to have the greatest difficulty with compassion are the same ones who laud their own praises within that context. I think Jesus would describe them as "White washed tombstones under which lay dead men's rotting bones" ... the same ones who spend 40 billion dollars a month to support one man's ego but can't spend a dollar to assist the 200,000 veterans who now sleep underneath bridges.

YW, I have to say the same about your video. WV has the same law "cannot even speak in court to a jury of their medical condition. It is barred from evidence."
thats not right, I always wondered though, what would happen when you did get to talk to the jury, to call marijuana a "herbal remedy" or "medical marijuana" might make the judge mad, just explain thats what you call it. I wonder if someone could get away with that, It might be enough for a jury member to understand & nullify the case

You are on target Camino
Only in the past two years, the results of three different double blind placebo controlled experimental trials have proven what sick people have known for years. Marijuana helps people in suffering - in some cases even halting disease progression.
The Bush Administration chose to ignore or dismiss the results of all three. The current White House views compassion as too radical and science as illegal.
Thanks for your support Camino!

Hey Reverend Green ...
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and, additionally, post a response.
I've never been able to figure out how so many caucasion fundamentalists can't read the responses of Jesus in Matthew 23 and two chapters later in Matthew 25 and not figure out that he was talking specifically to them.
They are the same spirits now as they were then - relying on "Codification" rather than COMPASSION.
Thank you again for blessing my day!
