It’s hard to stomach watching your state regress after it went forward in so many ways. But that’s how it feels some days watching the local news channel and learning about ridiculous things the state legislature are busying themselves with to appeal to a tiny voting block that represents at most 30% of the state. I often fear that they’re going to try revoking our medical marijuana program because they’re always going out of their way to make unnecessary changes to it that make it harder for patients to get access to their medicine. It makes no sense to me when these politicians are trying to make medical decisions for patients when their doctors are saying the opposite. If the actual medical professionals are demanding freer access to the plant, then you have no scientific basis to stand on. I realize now that a lot of people are going to go back to the black market if various forms of weed are made illegal again in my state. If medical cannabis flower products disappeared, tens of thousands of patients would relinquish their cards overnight and go back to the black market for their marijuana. That’s a real crime to imagine, but it’s entirely possible at this point. The state legislature would scrap medical marijuana in a second if it wasn’t legalized by a constitutional amendment, but who knows when they’ll try to destroy that as well. I am losing more and more respect for these people all of the time because they’re making patients who are suffering experience more emotional suffering on top of their physical turmoil. It’s unnecessary and horrifying to me when I realize how much these changes will affect cancer patients and others with life threatening disorders.
