Is it now the recreational community against the medical community? This ploy seems to work on republicans and democrats. Two groups of taxpayers that, the gov't has convinced are at war with each other. This way the eyes are on the problem but, not the problem maker. Let's break the sheep mold. This isn't the america I used to know.
that's an interesting insight. I don't know if it is that divisive, yet. Or, still. Would the recreational community stand down to ensure those with chronic, debilitating medical need could have safe access? There really isn't a historical precedent for this, as alcohol, during prohibition, was allowed for medical use, under a physician's discretion. (probably how they got so powerful). A very large percentage of physicans are so removed from reality they are unaware of the powerful medicinal uses of any plant, let alone cannabis. Is the recreational community pushing too hard, too fast? Or are they simply so used to dodging shadows they won't stand up for their basic right to "pursue happiness"?
Perhaps the answer would be to push for prohibition of alcohol, again. Then, perhaps, cannibis laws wouldn't be viewed as the guilty little state laws that allow people some dignity in their past times.
.
Perhaps the feds will be forced, in the light of science, to reclassify cannibis and remove the safe access problem entirely for the patients, who need it. Maybe more recreational users should run for public office. Works for other special interest groups. Maybe hiring professional lobbyists would help. Lots of solutions. One main problem.
