Congrats to Rhode Island
The Ocean State has allowed a medical marijuana program to be started. It is a beginning although it's interesting because there is no provision for growing marijuana or having the state provie marijuana.
Canada has a dismal medical marijuana program. Canada has 1100 registered marijuana users while California has well over 100,000- possibly over 150,000. It is pretty disgusting how our government continually disregards court orders stating that they must improve their program. Either we have to improve our system or simply outsource it to non-profit compassion clubs who already have a much better system than Health Canada.
During campaigning I met many people who need marijuana for their health. Several of them did not use marijuana until they tried it to help their illness. One young woman had bi-polar disorder and found all the medicine she tried had devastating side effects- one sent her to hospital. Marijuana was the only medicine that didn't give her debilitating injuries. This was same case for a man who needed it for back pain - all the prescribed medicines just caused more pain. Worse thing is that their drug plans (no drug plan that I know of) does not cover marijuana so they have to pay much more than other drugs and become criminals in the process.
One lady talked about her 70 year old friend that wanted to score some weed because of her cancer but could not find anybody to buy from. This what our government does- it forces elderly women to not receive the medicine they require.
Marijuana has been used as medicine for at least 5000 years. That's a lot longer than the synthetic chemicals the great God that is Western science has created for us. Marijuana was the pain reliever of choice during the 19th century and was replaced by aspirin in the 20th century (this is where drug company conspiracies come in). Hell even Queen Victoria used marijuana to relieve her menstrual cramps. And hey we get drunk on her birthday here in Canada for some reason but perhaps it would be more fitting to celebrate Victoria Day 420 style.
But watch this space for further information. I am going to try and set up a compassion club in Peterborough. It will probably be a mail order affair where people come and give me orders and I send for it and than give it to them. At least, at first, but if it gains widespread attention and support than I will probably shift to storing on site.
