In the NEAR future, your right to grow is coming under question. Were you informed of that? We are ALL pleased and hopeful of the arrival of our SOON TO BE Compassion Centers. But did you know that Lincoln Chafee hopes to remove Caregivers from the equation? He also wants to Remove the right to cultivate your own medicine. Are you OK with that? You shouldn't be. When this happened in New Mexico, the compassion centers ran out of medicine after only three weeks or the amendment to legislature. Compassion Centers are a GREAT idea and service, don't get me wrong, but you're RIGHT to grow is your safest backup plan for medicine.

What about the Newly office Federal Drug Czar? Michelle Leonheart, the NEWLY officed federal Drug Czar is in complete disagreement with ANY PATIENT IN ANY PROGRAM, she only views Cannabis as a drug, not medicine. How does this affect you? Your state laws will NO longer protect you unless you stratigize how to address these critical issues in the soon to be present.

All advocates, Patients, Caregivers, and ANYONE who believes in a Patient's RIGHTS to medicate how they see fit please feel free to contact your local ASA chapter here in Rhode Island. We are only as strong as our community is involved in thier futures.
