2. and typically the repubs will respond with .......
"But if we legalize it; then this and that disaster that will follow".....

They'll tell us the world will collapse; the sky will fall; and the nation will dissolve; its the way they are always fearful and paranoid.....


Change happens

9. It shouldn't be too hard to find real people
like me to do such a video. I'd volunteer in a heartbeat.

I am a 54 yo disabled woman w/paralytic spasms and life long insomnia. W/o pot, I can go three days w/o sleep, endangering my health further. For me it is a matter of relief from the pain and sleeplessness w/o loading my liver and kidneys w/chemicals that endanger those organs.

NOTHING I've tried for close to two decades works, only pot.

11. isnt montell williams a big activist now
Edited on Tue Mar-24-09 12:39 PM by iamthebandfanman
for medical marijuana?
itd be nice to get him into some commercials... since he also does things for AARP..

i used to use marijuana for my mental condition... would still if i wasnt afraid itd cost me a job...
it was the only drug ive ever taken that i felt balanced me out..
i was diagnosed as bi-polar and put on anti-depressants and lithium... ACk!
that stuff made me feel even more outa my head.

pot always kept me at ease and on the level though.
a lil paranoid when out and about(but only about getting caught), sure... but happy.

12. I knew Montel Williams has MS
but wasn't aware he'd become a MM activist until I googled. I found a YouTube video of him promoting the relief he gets from MM.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkXVoWtzGus

In the video he talks of his "twitches". (That's newbie crip talk for spasms.) He also mentioned that twelve states have or are in the process of legalizing MM, so the video is a little old. (There are now fourteen states.)

It is a tragedy that people have to worry about keeping their jobs for using the only thing that will help their conditions. I am so sorry you are in that predicament.
