I’d like for you to read this article to illustrate the changing of people’s hearts and minds. When this happens then laws and our government should follow — let’s hope this happens soon!

The Evolution of John McKay
How a Republican aristocrat and loyal Bush soldier turned into a marijuana activist and public pot-stirrer.

One day in March, John McKay ran into Jodie Emery. It was an encounter that should have been awkward—to say the least.

McKay, the former U.S. Attorney for Western Washington, had put Emery’s husband Marc in prison. The so-called “Prince of Pot” is now serving a five-year-sentence in connection with the seed empire he ran from Vancouver, B.C., a business hailed as heroic by the legalization movement and demonic by federal law-enforcement authorities like McKay.

“He may become the Prince of Federal Prison,” McKay quipped on a 60 Minutes episode as his office sought extradition of the pot entrepreneur to the U.S.

This is a movie many point to starting the government propaganda regarding cannabis — take a look and see what you think.

EUGENE, Oregon – Sometime after midnight on a moonlit rural Oregon highway, a state trooper checking a car he had just pulled over found less than an ounce of pot on one passenger: A chatty 72-year-old woman blind in one eye.

She insisted the weed was legal and was approved by the U.S. government.

The trooper and his supervisor were doubtful. But after a series of calls to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Drug Enforcement Agency and her physician, the troopers handed her back the card — and her pot.

(NaturalNews) Cannabis was used for two recently publicized cures of serious disease. Both treatments were done surreptitiously in the USA. Fifteen states have legalized medical marijuana minimally and twelve others are considering the same. But the Obama administration is unleashing their Fed dogs on those legal medical marijuana outlets.

Few or no deaths have occurred from hemp remedies over the centuries. Yet over 100,000 die annually fromcorrectly prescribed pharmaceutical prescriptionsin the USA alone. Go figure!

It can also make you happy – what a great side affect.

My doctor prescribed MMJ to me for my muscle spasms in my back, but one of the other things I use cannabis for is to help me sleep through the night. The first time I slept through the night without waking up I felt like a new person, along with feeling, and possibly looking, 10 years younger! It was an amazing feeling.

All my experiences over the past year haven’t been wonderful though. There have been a couple times when I’ve eaten too much of an edible and felt ‘drunk’ for a lack of a better term. And at the time, it wasn’t the most pleasant feeling but it wasn’t as bad as being ‘drunk’ on beer or wine because I remember everything that happened and I didn’t have a ‘hang over’ in the morning. I am not much of a drinker anymore and I hate drinking too much because it takes 3 days to recover from a hang over.

However, as you become more familiar with your tolerance you can recognize the right dose of MMJ for you. In the MMJ world I’d be called a light weight because I don’t have much of a tolerance at all — so for me a small amount is all it takes to ease my pain or help me sleep.

I also want to let everyone know this plant isn’t the big bad monster you’ve been led to believe. It is just a ‘plant’! One that helps you and I bet you didn’t know this because I didn’t — we have cannabinoid receptors in our brains, get more information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_receptor

So until next time –

This is dedicated to the memory of the three uncles who were taken from us by cancer too early! I only wish I had know about cannabis and cancer when they were diagnosed!


Disclose.tvCannabis and the Conspiracy against Marijuana Video

This is a great video where you will definitely learn something!

If you want to MESS something up before it gets on its feet then the best thing to do is get politicians involved! Colorado still has an opportunity to make this right but it seems, as always with gov’t they are going to over regulate it and move it back underground where no one wins.

As a reasonable person I understand there should be guidelines for the ‘controlled’ substance. But what the Colorado state legislatures are doing right now is “OVER REACTING” to what they see as a unregulated mess.

PLEASE stop, take a breath and let the market play out – the criminals are going to move on because they won’t stay in business long because people won’t buy from them. Let’s become a model to emulate not one to avoid.
