Soon to be patient with questions
I am sorry Blaize, I do not know the answer to your question. From what I have heard though, you shouldn't have a problem. However I, too, would be interested in MediCann's response. Simply because I live in Iowa where Sen Tom Harkin (D-IA) once told me. "If you smoke marijuana, you will find yorself huddled in a corner willing to sell your children for just one more puff of marijuana."
Yesteday I recieved an email from Sen Tom Harkin where he has done a 180, in his words, "I generally support the vigorous enforcement of Federal Drug laws. But it is my understanding that there is evidence to suggest that Marijuana may be effective at delivering medicinal benefits in some circumstances:thumbsup:-benefits which may outweigh the risk of prescribed use in such cases :jumphappy
you can tell a politician wrote this, for even though he is against the use of Marijuana he is forced by science and fact to give in) Certainly we should explore reasonable ways to relieve pain suffered by people with chronic or terminal illnesses, and I support the idea of conducting research into whether medicinal marijuana can serve this or other medical purposes. The FDA has already approved a drug called Marinol, a synthetic form of the active ingredient in marijuana." (no shit I already told him I had been on Marinol for years and that I find it to be ineffective and inefficient when compared to inhaled cannabis vapors) This letter I recieved when I asked him why I am being denied the only known safe drug for the control of chronic nausea and vomiting from Diabetic Neuropathic Gastroparesis. Marijuana in any form is illegal in Iowa and cultivating it carries a stiffer penalty than simple possession. Will Iowa become a legal Medical Marijuana State? Not until Pigs Fly In Space and Sen Tom Harkin inhales. For I truely believe this is nothing but a political letter to garner support yet Harkin has no intention of letting what he calls the "Killer Weed" into the life of his chilfren and grandchildren (even though they are probably user's themselves.) But one can dream, ah yes one can dream...:420thought::weedpoke::bigsmoke::greenthum b:
