You still can't get your regular doctor to recommend cannabis. You still can't tell your employer you use cannabis as medicine.
You can defend yourself in court. That's all.
Worst of all, even more of our rights have been eroded, as of late. Now, we know we can't be cannabis-users and legally own a firearm. Now, we know that, if we are robbed and assaulted, we can't call for help. Because, in all likelihood, we will just be robbed again - by the police - and charged with "crimes" having to do with our medicine.
Now, we know that the same government that says cannabis has no medical value also holds patents on cannabinoids as cancer-fighting drugs and also as protection for the brain and nervous system!
Now, we know that the same government that says cannabis has no medical value knew cannabis was an anti-cancer agent as far back as 1974!
We also know that 9000 people die of cancer in the US - every week!
So, it's not too much of a stretch to say our government has been acting against the interests of its citizens for quite a while and, even though they block research and science here in the US, they don't control the world. Thanks to countries like Israel, Spain and England, and the internet, we can now say cannabis is medicine - without a doubt.
So, now we know the truth and there is only one thing to do - let the truth be known and help the sick and wounded. I don't see much of a choice in the matter.
