Sorry it took so long Veggi...been busy.

To: Barack Hussein Obama,

Mr. President...This is, in a roundabout way...about hope...or lack of it.

Smoking cannabis allows me to follow my doctors' recommendations, which were given by her, with her full knowledge of my condition, it's symptoms and my limited options. I trust the compassion of this licensed oncologist with my health and my life. I only wish you would trust her insight, and not hide the tools she requires to provide myself and others, the best course of treatment that she gave an oath to provide. With all due respect, my doctor is right. Cannabis alleviates my pain, increases my appetite, and allows me to function prescription-free. (and therefore addiction free)

Mr. President...Having established that cannabis works for me...I've learned of growing my own. I had to. After my cannabis supplier was murdered, I was out of options, and was tired of exposing myself to the dangers, and not knowing if the situation would be profitable...or a fruitless waste of effort. Growing cannabis helps me avoid buying it on the streets, from the back-alley kind of people I consider socially unacceptable, dangerous and untrustworthy. I sure wish your spending bill would address this issue, as too many patients are being ripped-off and assaulted by street thugs and opportunists. Could you, like, buy them all homes or something?

Mr. President...Growing cannabis allows me to control the quality of the meds, and keeps me free from industrial/governmental nutrients, pesticides and defoliants. But I'm sure that since the chemicals were likely made in the USA, you consider their use acceptable. The problem is...even residual chemicals can interact with cancer meds, and kill patients under the right circumstances.

Mr. President...Growing cannabis allows me to medicate guilt-free, as I'm not contributing to the profits of gangs, international traffickers, and the mexican cartels. I'm truly sorry that under this arrangement, cannabis is a tax-free commodity, but you could change all this with a mighty swirl from your magic pen set, and get to work leaglizing and taxing the crap out of it.

Mr. President...Growing cannabis allows me to afford the prescription, which I could not afford, even from a dispensary, as they don't take Blue Shield. Will your government-mandated healthcare take any of this into consideration, and add cannabis to my universal prescription drug coverage?

Mr. President...I know this is low on your totem pole of things to do...but there are an awful lot of good people suffering while politics and medical capitalism stands in the way of Hope. Were you so stand-offish when you were doing drugs, or has life on the campaign trail these past few years hardened your heart to those in need, as we don't really add-up to enough voting power to require placation?

I don't want a chicken in every pot...but I do want the freedom to have some pot with every chicken. If you believe that patients need to become felons to alleviate symptoms best controlled by the use of cannabis, then you, Mr. President...you are the anti-hope. :jointsmile:
