We understand that cancer patients need relief, however the answer is not circumventing the FDA process and allowing 18 year olds to grow hundreds of pounds of pot a year, which the proposed law allows.<BR/><BR/>The proposed definition of "debilitating medical condition" is vague and applies to non-terminal, non-intense pain conditions. This definition could encompass anything from an allergy to tennis elbow - not patients like your mother.<BR/><BR/>All propaganda aside, states that have allowed 18 year olds to grow pot are experiencing an alarming rise in pot in high schools and youth.<BR/><BR/>This bill does not prohibit pot on a school bus or on school grounds. 16 year olds would be able to bring pot to school.<BR/><BR/>California is a mess.<BR/><BR/>Under the proposed MN law, there is no quality control. "Patients" won't know what they are getting. Think of a prescription. It contains dosage, potency, side effects, generic; the bottle even has a childproof cap.<BR/><BR/>Under the proposed law, a candy bar will have more consumer protection information than a bag of pot.<BR/><BR/>The criminal events I cited above are real and must be added into the equation.<BR/><BR/>We use morphine to reduce pain but we don't allow 18 year olds to grow and sell it.<BR/><BR/>Let's work to provide real solutions that benefit those in need - not those who's real motive is to legalize pot.<BR/><BR/>Let the FDA process work.Chuck Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465685472496171314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7535354299638217634.post-78453293846584867722008-05-05T15:27:00.000-06:002008-05-05T15:27:00.000-06:00That is the stupidest thing I've ever read. Great...That is the stupidest thing I've ever read. Great closing line too: "Rather than showing compassion for the few that might find relief, we should heed law enforcement to the innocent voices of the murdered, deranged and molested." <BR/><BR/>No compassion for cancer patients.<BR/><BR/>Listen to the voices of the deranged for guidance on medical marijuana.<BR/><BR/>Yep, that sounds about right, especially from an ostensibly "pro-family" organization. <BR/><BR/>Mr. Darrell, I hope none of your loved ones are diagnosed with cancer, MS, or other debilitating diseases. I envy you, that you can be so callous in the face of suffering. My mother has terminal cancer; I simply cannot.Pseudonymous Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02835711294526172276noreply@blogger.com
