Guys, PLEASE listen to what I have to say. This is what dis-courages (think about that) people from doing anything. I know, it's awful, BUT are you going to let what happens to others stop YOU from making the world better?

That's where most of us are, or have been. I've been there. The world is SO short on positive news. 88% of people (and this was about 5 years ago) PREFER negative but EXCITING news. "Pit Bulls!!!" "SWAT TEAMS!!!!" "Murder" "Gang Violence" "Child Raped" 'Child dies"

It's NOT an accurate reflection of what's going on. How many AWESOME acts of courage and kindness happened in Metro today? How many lives saved at Children's Hospital? How many celebrations, breakthroughs, and selfless acts of kindness?

You would never know, because that's NOT what the money makers make money on. Why? Nobody knows. Not Paul Harvey, Larry King, Dan Rather or Tom Brokaw know. And if THEY admittedly don't know, how should we.

What I DO KNOW, is that there is a LOT more good going on then they will ever tell you.

Keep the faith Reenstar, it's NOT that bad. Take courage.
Nothing but love and respect for ya Farmer Steve, but for me this was a wake up call and very notivating. I read the article and was mad, I watch the video and became livid. I have to say I am done with the MMJ movement, I will now support full legalization.

I have always felt that Marijuana was a safer alternative to alcohol but the Reefer Madness hysteria kept that from happening for the 40 years I have been smoking. It is unfortunate but it's really time to put pressure on the Feds for rescheduling of MJ. This video was from MO, but it only happened because MJ is regarded as a schedule 1.

I guess it starts here, at home, and I hope Brian Vincente is successful in having legalization on the 2010 ballot. I do not want the government to regulate my marijuana but if it saves just one family from what this one went thru it's something I am willing to have happen.

I will continue to smoke and grow, after all a 40 year pattern is tuff to break, but for me the answer is not medical marijuana but total and complete repeal of any laws making the cultivation, sale and consuption illegal.:hippy:
