END THE PAIN OF PROHIBITION
Before age 50 I didn't question the laws, nor the people who make and enforce them. Mine was a late-in-life rude and painful awakening.
The truth that set me on my path was a simple one: Bad laws hurt good people. Tonight I cannot sleep because someone I love is in great pain and is being denied relief by those around her because they are afraid of the enforcers of a very bad law.
She's only in her 30s but her fingers are swollen and twisting painfully with advancing crippling arthritis. She cries, I  because I know there is a plant that eases her pain without the side effects she fears from manmade medicines. A tiny amount can make her feel better, loosens her  s and elevates her mind above the pain so that she can enjoy life, and may slow or halt the progress of the ravaging disease.
But her husband refuses to let her use it because dangerous men could come into their home and take his child. He felt forced to make a choice between his child's future or his wife's which will give him no comfort in a few years.
Bible verses lead me to believe that everything we need to sustain life, to ease our pain and heal ourselves is already here - created for the use of mankind, woven right into nature by some wonderful force that obviously intended plants to ease suffering.
Everyone knows our medicines are culled from plants.
How can a small group of people claim total ownership over portions of a nature they didn't create and can't even come close to imitating? I weep because they stand waiting to destroy a very good person and the people she loves should she dare to reach in her anguish for one of those plants.
Grown men dress up like toy soldiers to wage war, not on evil human beings, but on medicinal plants. My gosh, even manmade alcohol wasn't denied to doctors and patients for medical use during that prohibition.
I don't care about immoral laws, drug wars, pharmaceutical profits or an imaginary drug free utopia! What I do care about is people, particularly one beautiful lady who fears the deformity of her hands in coming years, and her husband, who should never feel pressured to make such a choice between his son's security and his wife's pain.
It doesn't even matter how a group of men slunk in and used awful lies to take total dominion over the plants of the field. What matters is that the masses, meaning you and I, continue to allow them to hurt good people, continue to feed their never ending lies to our children, continue to finance such absurdity as a war on plants, and continue to believe that liars, cheats, and underhanded profiteers are going to create a perfect world for us with their guns and handcuffs and prisons. To heck with the drug warriors!
END THE PAIN OF PROHIBITION NOW!
