I’m so sick of Prohibition I can’t stand living in the state I’m in or the country I’m in. Everyone smokes in my state but they won’t fight for it. The federal government says Ok to letting states have medical marijuana laws yet they let other states discriminate against Americans by arresting the same suffering people with the same horrible illnesses. I medicate with marijuana, if I didn’t I wouldn’t function I would be bed ridden in unbearable pain. Even though I put myself at risk for arrest resulting in everything from losing my 4 kids to losing my home or vehicles to long prison terms, I still Medicate using Marijuana because it WORKS. Even while I fear the streets where I am forced to seek out my Medicine, with that I can’t even keep a supply on hand due to inconsistent supplies, let alone anything that would be called medicine to begin with, I still choose to medicate and function over not and being bed ridden!
For the government to allow medical marijuana in some states yet not others is just why doctors and health professionals should be in charge of deciding what works for their patients or not. Right now we let the DEA decide even how much a doctor can give of prescibable medicine, let alone Medical marijuana to boot. The federal government doesn’t know what is the best treatment for me, but my doctor does, so why do we let the DEA and police decide what medicine and how much of it will work for me? They shouldn’t and this reaches further than just the medical marijuana this treads into Patients rights and how well we are treating their illness or pain.
Right now if you go to your doctor he knows that if he gives you X amount of pill A that it will take the pain from your broken leg completely away, yet he also knows that doing so will send up a red flag to the DEA and he will have to explain why he did so. So instead he gives you Y amount of pill B, this does not cover the pain, it helps but never really takes away the pain like a pain pill should. But the doctor can go on with his day without fear his practice will get the front door kicked in From the DEA! How is this proper heath care? Well its great police work, but it sure isn’t a civilized way to treat sick and dying or in pain patients!
We need to re think our drug policies we have to stop this war on the American people and start treating drug issues through doctors and health professionals. We need to feel like the doctor is doing what is best for us not what’s best for him to stay out of trouble. I want my doctor to do what’s best not wants ok by the DEA standards. We have turned Doctors into Drug dealers, Normal people into Criminals and taken futures away from teens and kids all in the name of keeping us safe from drugs? Come on, more harm is done to everyone by this failed policy that by anything drugs could ever do. We need to face the facts and get smart about drugs and the way we treat our sick and dying Americans instead of worrying about the doctor prescribing what works worry about the true crimes being committed and start protecting and serving again instead of hunting for drugs and destroying everything in its path!
Its time to stopthis failed War on Drugs, put an end to Prohibition and stop filling our prisons with non violent drug users. We need everyone to stand up and let your legislators know, write letters and make calls, let them know to End Prohibition!
