A little cannabis rant

I swear the people supporting going after cannabis as a bad thing are a form of prejudicial Nazis wishing they had a military uniform to hide their impotence. They piss me off that much to call them these profanities. Sorry but I get what I perceive to be a "righteous anger" at times over lives that have been ruined due to the laws. Laws against a plant. Yeah...they are that shallow of soul therefore meaness of spirit to think these laws are somehow good or somehow protect society at large. WRONG. They do just the opposite. Prohibitions and those who enforce them are cruel.

Alaska, with its Red/Republican State government, is dragging its feet- not surprisingly.

It is up and running great in Oregon, though.

Just found out a friend was dx with stage 4 bone cancer with mets to his brain. The doctors told him to basically 'smoke em if can gets em'. Awesome that they are on board, if it wasn't for the jail sentence that awaits him or anyone trying to help him.

They are slowly but surely coming around. For my friend, it will be too late.

Pisses me off no end.
