    One could reasonably assert that ALL cannabis use is theraputic and thus “medicinal”.
    The very idea that we need permission to engage in so harmless a pastime is absolute anathama to the ideals expressed by the founding fathers.
    If you must ask for permission to be free, then you’re really only free enough to ask for permission.

    Dr. Liu …”THC can kill Cancer Cells”

    Dr. Di Marzo … “THC exhibits anti – tumor effects on various Cancer Cell types”

    Well now that it is shown to stop cancer cells I think we know one reason it has been illegal. Phars get paid to treat illness, not cure it. :/ Money sucks.

    Stand up hit the streets… Tell everyone this is bullshit and taxes and intrest hurt too. Cops wont lock you up but will take you for a mental evaluation. Just another way to hold a good man down. Hope someone sues them bastards for me, good luck. No cival rights for no one.

    Legalize Cannabis. It’s 10000X less harmful than nicotine, alcohol, and most of the over the counter drugs.. Marijuana is a good cure for insomnia, anxiety, paranoia, depression, stress, anorexia, or natural loss of appetite.. Great natural muscle relaxer. Plus, legalizing would improve the market by starting businesses that sell plants and seeds, then more jobs would be available. I could smoke 3 blunts of it and not overdose like the crap capsuals and pills, that are ‘painkillers’.
