It’s fairly difficult to stomach seeing your state regress after it previously went forward in a number of ways.
- But that’s how it feels some afternoons when checking the local news channel as well as reading about horrendous things the state legislature are busying themselves with to appeal to a rather small voting block that represents at most 30% of the state.
I often fear that they’re going to work hard to revoke our medical marijuana program because they’re constantly going out of their way to make insane changes to it that make it more difficult for patients to achieve access to their medicine. It makes no sense to me at all when these politicians are trying to make medical decisions for patients when their healthcare experts are saying the opposite. If the actual doctors are demanding freer access to the medicine, then you have no scientific basis to sit on. I easily realize now that a fair amount of people are going to go back to the black market if numerous forms of weed are chosen to be made illegal again in my state. If medical cannabis flower products suddenly disappeared, tens of thousands of patients would relinquish their cards overnight as well as go back to the black market for their marijuana. That’s a pretty serious crime to imagine, however it’s absolutely possible at the moment. The state legislature would scrap medical marijuana very quickly if it wasn’t legalized by a constitutional amendment, however who knows when they’ll try to destroy that. I am losing more as well as more respect for these people constantly because they’re making patients who are suffering experience extra emotional suffering on top of their physical turmoil. It’s frightening to me when I realize how much these changes will affect cancer patients as well as others with life threatening complications.
