Grandma wants her laughing grass

[firefox]

I want to put up four paragraphs from an article that went up at http://www.medpot.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=27122&st=0&#entry39818

What makes this article noteworthy is that what had to happen has happened. What had to happen was that the elderly would find that cannabis is the best thing for most of their aches and pains and that it is to attitude as a chiropractor is to a human spine. It does not take an academic view of cannabis as medicine, but it is a woman conversing with her intimate readers about people she met in her life.

The drug warriors had to know that when grandma tried cannabis their total prohibition would be over. It raises the story of AARP and the report that they were to have in their semi-monthly magazine. The story they commissioned on MMJ was highly anticipated in 2004, but it kept getting pushed back. I feel certain that many would call it the biggest article of the year for Free Cannabis because of its audience and the size of that readership. Then the amplification would have been tremendous. The article got killed. Part of the story on the article killing is told in this link at http://cannabisnews.com/news/20/thread20292.shtml

This article from Medpot.net is really very informative and quite damaging to the drug warrior's fraud of Cannabis Prohibition.

I was having a cup of coffee with an older friend of mine the other day (age 77), when she shocked me by saying that every Tuesday she and her friends get together to play cards and...smoke pot!

<sentence omitted>

These elderly ladies are the epitome of correctness and dignity and no one would ever guess that they were partakers of an illegal drug.

When I asked her the reasons for their pot-smoking she explained that the effects of cannibas made them feel better than any drug perscribed for their aging bones. All of these ladies, ranging in age from seventy-five to eighty- three, had various ailments. Arthritis, poor appetite, deteriorating hips and spines were all symptoms that were relieved, if only for a little while, by the smoking of marijuana.

While other drugs such as morphine, oxycontin, and percocet dulled the pain, they are very addictive and take their toll on the body's organs. These ladies choose instead to use pot for pain relief and to help jumpstart their appetite.

3. grandma's land

Do people know that if grandma grows one lowly plant (even if she doesn't and it's found on her land), she can have her property confiscated without trial and conviction? That in some states the penalty for simple possession can be upwards of 2-5 years in federal prison? even for a first offense... i wonder how much the AARP delved into the obscene and archaic drug laws? Unfortunately a few grannies have already been jailed...
