Part of email from John Morgan.
We don't negotiate with prohibitionists. Or bullies.
When Debbie Wasserman Schultz came out last year against Amendment 2, she didn't just simply empower our opposition -- she obstructed thousands of patients who desperately need access to this medicine. "Her poor timing and very public stand against medical marijuana helped squander the efforts of thousands and volunteers and donors.
Now she wants to have a conversation in exchange for me toning down my criticism of her position last year (and the damage she caused)? Not a chance.
Because, while I don't believe she is well loved or personally has much influence in this state, I'll allow her the possibility that she might have changed a few minds that we needed. Staring down a campaign funded by a billionaire, we needed all the help we could get. She turned her back on people with Cancer, MS, PTSD, epilepsy, severe neuropathic pain, and more. She could have even stayed silent. She didn't. She made a big show of it.

This whole anti-cannabis thing absolutely shows who is an intellectual and who buys into propaganda to fill their own coffers.
We laugh and commisserate when someone says they'll "handle this snowstorm with a single malt." Why? we know they're gonna get a nice buzz on.
Legally.
No reprisal.
No loss of job for relaxing with a drink.
No fines, court fees or incarceration as long as the liquor is handled responsibly. If Wasserman-Schultz hasn't had a drink ever, I'll sacrifice myself to the Democrats.
Then you have people with disabling conditions that are helped by cannabis, and scumbag, greedy, cruel, evil people like Wasserman-Scum can't even allow them the right to ease their pain legally? Or allow others to use a substance milder than alcohol recreationally?
FUCK HER. Wasserman -won't-say-the-word-here-but-definitely-thinkin'-it can kiss my PTSD ASS.
As long as the Democratic party embraces evil people like her, who would deny even BABIES the right to life-saving treatment, they will not draw in anyone with a brain or any compassion.

(39,343 posts)If only a few more people had voted for cannabis, it would have passed. So too maybe a few more votes would've been cast for democrats by pro-cannabis voters if she would have gotten together with them instead of opposing them.
She cannot run the party in her own state much less the rest of the country.
