This is big news, as far as I'm concerned. Of course, that doesn't mean it can't be reversed, it's just a policy, not a law, but it could just give the snowball a little push. I was having a conversation the other day with a fellow who was pretty sure that BC would legalize pot soon now that Washington has decriminalized it - even if Harper is against it. Maybe Marc Emery can return to BC with his war won.

But the fact remains, the US doesn't really have the money to keep up the war on drugs while it fights all these other wars.

 
two months ago i went to an "alternative medicine" clinic in pueblo, colorado. with MRI's and the sack full of pills prescribed by the VA in hand. I saw the Dr. he slid the disc into his computer as he rolled the pill bottles in his hand looking at the labels. when the screen displayed the images of my shattered body he said only "oh my!". i explained to him that the pills were making me dysfunctional. and that after a year and half of taking "uncle sugars hillbilly heroin"... i really just wanted to stop. he said he was impressed that i wasn't seeking something "in addition to", but rather "instead of". he asked me "what would you like to do here today?". i told him i would like to get a "red card" and quit taking the liver and kidney destroying drugs. he asked me if i would be wanting to grow my own marijuana, and i assured him i would. he advised me that for pain i would be needing to use extracts which requires a considerable amount of marijuana. he provided me with instructions for making my own extract. he then wrote out my prescription. ignoring federal law for a moment, in colorado, i can legally possess 4 oz of marijuana and have 12 plants in the "flowering" stage. with my temp red card in hand, i went to the "pharmacy". you just can't imagine; unless you've been there, how amazing it really is...

at the pharmacy i bought two ounces of a mixed bag of "medicine" and ten clones. one of the "caregivers" recommended green hornets for my actual pain... it was kinda pricey so i begged off... she thru one in the bag and told me to "try it later before bed" and "don't eat more than half". i looked at the gummi candy when i got home, just like a bear only square. i squished it between my fingers analyzing it for texture. yep just like a gummi bear i thought... and i put it in the medicine cabinet... fast forward a couple days... i cut down 15 or 16 trees at my new house (4 more to go;) ). cutting trees down requires little effort. gravity and chainsaw do most of the work... picking those cut up pieces is the work, and after day one i was already hurting... one of my injuries is to L5-S1. everything sits or hangs from that point. every time i bend over, pieces of my bone grind and break off. those broken pieces are actually free floating around inside me damaging tissues and pinching nerves. it is excruciating. a suffering i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy if i had one.... at any rate, i was hurting. decided to sit in jacuzzi tub (they are almost always broken when you get one "with the house", this one ain't:cool:) and when i went to the medicine cabinet i spied the gummi candy and thought i'd give it a try...
 
as i squished the package the hard plastic wrapper would crinkle. i took the label off the top of the bag. it was stapled on to keep the "candy" inside. i smelled the package and the gummi. "just like candy" i thought. i took a bite trying to discern with my teeth what was half. i bit thru it and my mouth was filled with the taste of lemon lime and some of the sweetest pot taste i have ever known. i sat down in the living room and watched TV for about ten minutes. sleepy i decided to forgo the bath and just laid down in bed. when i woke up the next morning my head was clear and i was wide awake and alert. but more importantly i was in the same position when i woke up as i was when i laid down. i did not wake up 5 times that night unable to go back to bed because of the pain. for the first time in almost ten years i slept through the night and i actually felt rested. i grabbed my cellphone and one of the bags of pot. on all bags of pot are the patients license number, the "the pharmacies" license number, and their phone number and address. i called meri-meds and asked them "what wonderful concoction was that?". she explained the process for actually making them myself if i wanted to since they are kind of pricey (10$) per 2 doses.
 
when i first smoked pot i did so to "get high" (although i think that since "high" means calm and with a sense of well being that is not an illusion, followed by severe munchies, is something more people need these days:cool: ), but as i get older, as i sat in that Drs' office looking at the "patients" around me (not your high school potheads, but actual everyday people) i gotta wonder... how did we get this so wrong, for so long?.... :(

VA called me and asked why i haven't refilled my prescriptions.... i am free of that big pharma trash in my system for two months now... and i don't mean some of it, i mean all of it... the pill, the pills that counter the effects of the first pill, and the ones after that to counter the effects of the combination of the two priors... it all gets so maddening at some point you gotta wonder if they really are just trying to kill you.:D

:banana: really happy for ya, buddy!

As I've said a million times I've never used drugs and have no interest in this "getting high" thing. But if people in pain can have relief FINALLY, than I see nothing wrong with it and frankly don't get what the big freaking deal is.
 
when boots went on the ground to threaten the soviets, they were my boots. when things went awry and we invaded a foreign country(iragi oil theft 1).. those were my boots on the ground... war on pot has created no coward... again... those are my boots...
