I have but one good hip, seven good discs, I am hyperlipidemic and chronic pancreatic and diabetic. I get up everyday and get to it and support my family and community and personal business as best a chronically ill and disabled man may. Limited as I am, I will stand to any round muscle who tries to spunk on my family or game. I have litigated in the Federal Court of Canada alone for a number of months now because they said I can't. I am the first Canadian ever to be recognized as a free non resident citizen/ medical marijuana patient thanks to the recognition of the Montana people first for our family's medical needs and difficulties, because good people stood up. With the application and question seized by justice in the interest of justice I will not discontinue because of the "true" reasons for medical marijuana justice in America; that is individual freedom and security, and such without discrimination from the freedom to work and make a living, to move freely and enjoy my life with respect to the same for others. To those who have not shown up because of your sincere disability: you are a depressing reality of your generational standard of personal excess and lack of initiative to help either yourself first or perhaps someone who could not themselves. We all know 30 people; there it is done five times over. Here is a real opportunity to do something truly American and stand for freedom and justice. Here is an opportunity to help others and your community and to fight for freedom of speech and the right to vote. Get it done or get off the pot.
