IGNORING PROP. 215

It seems since the passage of proposition 215 that most of the people who
need medical marijuana have a difficult time getting it. The police have
arrested those trying to distribute it because they asked for a donation.

The government confiscates tons of marijuana every year. Implement the will
of the people by distributing this confiscated  marijuana for free or stop
arresting those who are.

Furthermore, I am tired of hearing that the people were deceived into
passing a medical marijuana proposition. If anyone was deceived, it was
people thinking that they could pass a medical marijuana initiative and act
on it without being arrested.

If people are in pain, be it physical or psychological, and have a doctor's
recommendation it's supposed to be OK now. If they say it relieves their
pain, who am I to argue? Marijuana is a herb, not a toxic weed as many have
been led to believe by a lying government.
