Garden of Weedin' Oregon's medical marijuana growers want to win respect, help the sick...and grow the kindest bud on the planet. [via]
"It's like the difference between microbrew and Anheuser-Busch," says one national marijuana-rights activist. "In Oregon, you have individuals or little groups caring for small gardens. The attention to detail creates a better product by far."
I defy anyone bent double over a toilet, head spinning from the effects of chemotherapy, to turn down relief when offered in any form. People should be alarmed at much of the world's continued prohibition towards a plant whose effects have proven many times to be less harmful than those of alcohol, especially when said plant can do literally miraculous things for those whose paths have been darkened by cancer or many of a host of other illnesses. I have sat alongside a suffering friend as he was transformed by a single puff, able to speak, eat, and be a human being again. Illegality in this case only fuels a huge uncontrolled, underground market while denying aid to those too honest, law-abiding, unconnected or ill to procure it on their own.
What kinnakeet said.
Also, it's gooooovy, man...
thanks for stating that so well kinnakeet. medical marijuana is also of great benefit to those suffering from otherwise untreatable forms of severe depression, and glaucoma. to deny people this therapeutic relief is one of the most uncompassionate things I know.
I'm also in the what kinnakeet said camp. I'm not going to add to those words...
*puts up her tent in kinnakeet's camp too*
You people are a buncha ungodly sex-crazed hippies with no respect for the law of this Yew Nited Stats and ya's need to get out and get a job and get yer hair cut and putona shirt and some shoes and get some respect, dammit.
*exhales, giggles with her hand in the chips bowl
*sings another round of the Kinnakeet song
Amen.
Hippies.
I had a pal who had Hodgkin's disease. If it weren't for the weed plant there, he wouldn't have been able to eat during his treatment.
