Medical Cannabis Testimonies: KCPatient of Missouri

This first ever Patient Protection Day 2008 statewide lobbying event video was recorded in the Jefferson City Capital Building Rotunda. The stage and sound system were generously provided by the University of Missouri Columbia. This patient is from Kansas City. She has been battling Autoimmune diseases most of her life; Lupus and Crohn's, to name only two. In 28 years, she has suffered more than most of us have ever dreamed of. Cannabis has brought her unfailing relief from pain and other symptoms during her many struggles. During this day-long event, we met with Missouri Speaker of the House, Rod Jetton, who blocked our Cannabis Compassion Bill in 2007 and was making every effort to block it again for 2008. Though, on the day of this event, he recanted his position while meeting with chronically ill patients and supporters in his office, he later killed HB1830 by appointing it to a do-nothing committee too late in the session for it to go anywhere. Fortunately for Missouri's chronically ill, Rod Jetton will not be returning to Missouri's House in 2009. Missourians should guard themselves against slick opportunists like Jetton who say they care, but in reality show little regard for the chronically ill of their state.

Why is my comment being blocked? Can you not say Rick Simpson or "Run for the Cure" that is up on YouTube?

[CannabisPatientNet]

uncontrolledmedia, your comment has not been blocked. I receive a number of comments to my videos. Along with them, spam and blanket run-on comments that seek to dominate this site. Those will not be tolerated.

I am in support of Rick Simpson's activities and have offered my services to interview patients who have benefited from Phoenix Tears. However, there are a number of similar treatments out there. I support many of them as well. Cpn is about patient experiences on video. mark-cpn

Thank you. Please watch for many more videos that are still in the works. Improved audio and video.

Please spread the word, I need more patients willing to go before my camera. Only thru the personal experiences of our nation's chronically ill will we see an end to prohibition, as we educate the general public to the comprehensive benefits of natural, holistic cannabis for the treatment of our country's most serious chronic and terminal illnesses.

I am truly becoming disgusted with our political system. Making all these sick people jump through hoops and beg for a fucking plant, just because enough idiots swallow all that bs their fed in D.A.R.E. class that they're worried they won't be re-elected. Politicians are the lowest form of scum on the planet.

You are probably familiar with Rick Simpson and "Run From the Cure" that is on YouTube where he witnesses that he cured his terminal cancer with hemp/cannabis oil. His tour starts on May 2nd on the Pacific Ocean of Canada.

It will be interesting to see the witnesses that join him in testimony as he crosses cancer.

I have ulcerous colitis and cannabis saved my life when the medical establishment demanded thousands to get examined to get some sulfur pills.

Medicine is a racket in the US
