May 30, 1997 - Dan Asbury and the Journey for Justice meet up with other supporters from Ohio and arrive at the State Capitol building to spread their message - that marijuana (Cannabis) can be better than pills for chronically ill patients. A local news broadcast is included.
I was there at the Capitol, working with "For a Better Ohio"!! Great to see this, and awsome to know that the journey continues!!!

By the way I had to make this clea my name is not bluntress because I smoke blunts, I do believe that this herb is harmful in a cigar wrapper. My name is Bluntress because I am a blunt woman and I speak out for what i believe in. I believe that this herb could save some lives and help some lives. My doc gave me Lyrica & told me to eat a organic diet...I got in my truck and laughed marijuana is organic and that lyrica I am taking is a drug and not organic in any kind of sensible way.

Just watching this makes me cry because these people are not "pot heads" These people are looking for a medication. Yes people do abuse this herb, but there are alot of people who it helps give them a little bit of relief & it is sad that in this country of freedom my husband can to war & risk his life but a plant that could help his wife's pain(me) can not be legalized. I & others do not wanna be snoop dog we just want to be free of pain.

I have fond memories of this, the first Journey for Justice, and of the patients who bravely participated in such a courageous adventure. The lead patient, Dan Asbury has since died, but I know this Journey raised his spirit from quadraplegic to warrior.

Forget about tolerance for marijuana users; we need compassion! It is too bad that huge organizations, like NORML, have done so little to promote the cause against Marijuana Prohibition. Those with the Journey for Justice are our real heroes and deserve our monetary support more than NORML.
