Surviving ALS # 5 - A New Journey Begins

March, 2000 (14 years with ALS)- Continuing the tradition of the OH & WI Journeys for Justice, the Florida Cannabis Action Network and Cathy Jordan as lead patient, set out in wheelchairs and on foot to see Gov. Jeb Bush in Tallahassee. It will be an ordeal of six days along the side of back roads, in sun and rain, to dramatize the plight of medical marijuana patients like Cathy, who has ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Cathy and her husband Bob share the ironic tale of struggle with their own government for the freedom to prolong Cathy's life and to make the truth known. Please visit:

*** PLEASE READ: Cannabis has the most healing effects for patients early in ALS disease progression. While it can be useful later, SMOKING ANYTHING CAN BE DANGEROUS IN ADVANCED CASES OF ALS, so check with your doctor if you have any concerns. This is what works for one person and is not intended to be medical advice. ***

You are so beautiful. You are 50? Dealing with ALS and you look like you're 30. I wish I could do something for you.

Thank you so much. What you can do for us is to call legislators, write letters to the editor, demanding that Cannabis be rescheduled and made available for sick people. Tell a friend about this.

Thanks, Cathy & Bob Jordan

You really sum it up Cathy, congratulations!!!

You clearly recognise and express the path our "government has taken, MONEY for their buddies who kiss their butts in Washington!!! too bad Ron Paul didn't run against Obama, but since he won, lets see how he stands up against the materialist multinational corporations and all of the honey they spill over them!

Hang in there Cathy, the people will eventually rule again!

God Bless you and all of your buddies who support you!

God Bless all of you. I'm fighting right along side of you up here in Michigan. I can't thank you enough for your courage and bravery to stand up against the corrupt politicians.

I hope you are victorious down in the Sunshine State.

Brave citizens doing what the constitution says we are responsible for doing, staying vigilant and letting our representatives know what we, the people, want. Reschedule cannabis so patients and researchers can have access and stop the lies. Cannabis Cures!
