cannabisnews.com: Our Government is Ignoring the Will of the Voters! Our Government is Ignoring the Will of the Voters! Posted by FoM on May 15, 1999 at 07:57:00 PT Source: 215 NOW In November of 1996, California voters passed Proposition 215, the initiative that legalized medical marijuana.Since then, medical marijuana patients and doctors have been harassed, arrested, and tried in court! Not only in California, but also in other states that have passed voter-approved medical marijuana initiatives -- even though the law says what they are doing is legal.In addition, the federal government has stepped in to prevent medical marijuana initiatives such as Proposition 215 from ever being implemented.State governments are looking the other way when patients are arrested and sending conflicting signals over whether or not medical marijuana initiatives will ever be fully implemented.Meanwhile, the health of countless suffering patients who need medical marijuana is being jeopardized.Government was created to protect the lives and liberties of its people. Patients can't afford to wait any longer. Too much time has already passed.It's time to implement 215 NOW! Click the above link to visit: 215 NOW and sign the petition!

It has so many medicinal properties that I don't believe they or anyone knows it's full potential. I think about all the young people that are given Ritalin and then they seem to arrive on an anti-depressant next. I really question if marijuana wouldn't be the better prescribed drug for a young child with attention deficit disorder. I know that my mind could bounce in a million different directions when I was in school and I think that marijuana would have solved that problem for me! Thanks for your comment!Peace, FoM!

It's time to overthrow government bullshit for good. [ Post Comment ] Comment #2 posted by FoM on May 15, 1999 at 13:13:16 PT 215 Now Your welcome jdd!

Let's bombard our so-called representatives with e-mail. They need to see that there is a VERY large movement to make this medicine legal. There's power in numbers, they say.
