Each of us -- and everyone we love and care about -- is just ONE DIAGNOSIS away from being a patient him or herself. And when it is someone you love who is suffering, you will do whatever is necessary to bring them dignity, comfort, and compassion (which includes the ingestion of medical marijuana where appropriate). CompassionAssociates.org is a patient-based non-profit organization which provides medical marijuana assistance to patients, their families and loved ones.

MAY THOSE THAT SEEK COMFORT, FIND COMFORT. [-_-] People who oppose the medicinal use of cannabis by patients are forgetting the fact that life is fragile. Each of us — and everyone we love and care about — is just ONE DIAGNOSIS away from being a patient him or herself. And when it is someone you love who is suffering, you will do whatever is necessary to bring them dignity, comfort, and compassion (which includes the ingestion of medical marijuana where appropriate).

CompassionAssociates.org is a patient-based non-profit organization which provides medical marijuana assistance to patients, their families and loved ones. For more information about ways to help suffering patients and medical marijuana information, please visit our website at http://www.CompassionAssociates.org (or email me directly at email hidden; JavaScript is required).

MAY THOSE THAT SEEK COMFORT, FIND COMFORT. [-_-]

If you are not suffering from cancer or another disease you have no right fighting against people who are ill. Hopefully with boomers on the rise so will marijuana and alcohol use will decrease. Any parent who would prefer that their child consume alcohol responsibly, but quiver at the word marijuana needs to only look at death and crime statistics.

Oh, well, the resistance to a discovery that the Earth was not flat was fierce too, but it had to end at some point. To even say that marijuana does not have medicinal value is the same as to say that the Earth is flat... Think about it!

I am unfortunately HIV+ and have found the use of said medecine extremely helpfull for many reasons. It does help increase appetite which was of great value when I suffered pneumonia and was down to 130lbs. I am now back to my normal weight for my height. thank you. It also eases the occassional joint pain that is caused by the disease. And I must say that in general when I am down in the dumps thinking about the grim inevitability of dying from this ailment, it does lift my spirits and takes my mind to a much more pleasengt state. Now I am a proffessional, with an excellent job and absolutely no criminal record. The state of California receives millions of tax dollars from the LEGAL sale of medicinal marijuana. And with it being legal helps keep drug dealers out of business and inevitably out of the possession of minors, not a bad thing if you ask me! Now if you are in the mind set that making this, (I'll say medicine as oppossed to drug, which is what pharmeceutical companies sale)legal that it would encourage more people to try it, then you are taking away the very qualities that make us human beings, FREE WILL AND THE INTELLIGENCE THAT SEPERATES US FROM ANIMALS! As far as addiction is concerend, I have been with out Medicinal Marijuana for over a month and can easily say that I suffer from absolutely no mental or physical withdrawls. However I wouldn't mind a big fat spliff! So come on people, stop acting like ignorant children and more like the capable adults that make us proud to call ourselves American, and show a little compassion for people in need, and who deserve a natural, non chemical substance for certain ailments. I just find it amazing that people will take a pill with blind acceptance that has such side affects as; kidney failure, nausea, diarhea, sudden shortness of breath, migrains, COMA AND OR DEATH, but have such strong opinions about something that grows naturally from God's green Earth! That's wild! OK, time to hand over the soap box to someone else. Thank you to all those who bothered to read my thoughts. God bless. Dear Readers,

Researchers haven't been able to induce any animal to die no matter how much of a concentrated dose of Pot is given. The theoretical amount for pot (LD 50 ) is the equivalent of between 20 and 40 thousand joints that would have to be smoked in 15 minutes. I challenge anyone to do that! Pot should be RE-LEGALIZED!
