Save Bernie's Farm

I am so impressed by Bernie, his story and this video. I worked as a Business Manager at a cancer treatment center and was told story after story of people who chose to use cannabis for nausea, pain, sleeplessness, no appetite, depression, usually after they tried other meds with bad side effects. Our physicians stated they wished they could prescribe pot, but the pharmaceutical industry would not allow that.

Bernie, my prayers are with and with us all!

We're pulling for you Bernie. Hang in there.

Lets hope America wakes from it's stupor soon.

i like how in the video it shows him clipping flowers. when he was growing cannabis, he was doing exactly the same act. we need to freedomize cannabis worldwide.

Save Bernies farm for sure!

So to continue my spiel here - in CA, for Marin County, one individual, a well connectd police official in San Anselmo, he hands out the discretionary funds to the SUpervisors. They then do "charitable things" like support a nursing agency - but come election time, guess who is expected to help out that Supervisor - probably out of the same bundle of funds!!

Entities get created in some locales for the express purpose of receiving such funds - which are then passed back as campagin funds!

Several comments, Bernie:

Excellent video. Well written, and well acted!!

The backdrop of your farm is 1 thing that allows me to give it an "A" for production values alone. A correction, though: the government depends on its"seizures" to maintain, throughout all 50 states, a system wherein "discretionary funds are taken from people like you, handed over to individuals who then distribute to officials throughout the state - depending on what those individuals will do for the state.

I am sending this video to everyone I know. I hope that we can get the laws changed for the use of pot, period. It is totally insane in my opinion. The more people become aware of what our government is doing, I believe, it WILL make a difference and the laws will be changed.

Good luck to you. I wish you well.

Bernie, you're a good man and a good American and what is happening to you is outrageous. Bless you and your fight m'friend. We will prevail!
