I went on a small trip a couple of weeks ago through several States, I was astounded to see advertising almost everywhere for gun/knife shows. I counted 9 different exhibitions! Does anyone else see a problem here?

I suppose I should not be so amazed or dumbfounded by the fact that anyone of legal age can buy a gun, yet we are terrified of a plant. Personally I would much rather have a doob pointed at me than a gun. The Supreme Court chief justice in my state says the authorities and the criminal justice system needs to focus more on violent offenders and offenses and especially those committed against children. There by making it possible to free some of the overcowded prison facilities by eliminating some non-violent sentencing. I am totally for this of course. Perhaps with all that is happening in the western states, our governments are finally realizing there are much worse things out there than people sitting around getting healed by medicine and enjoying it's side effects.

I am a "patient", I used the quotes not too say that I am just a recreational user. I have chronic aniety and manic depression. As a result I suffered for many years with a debilitating digestive illness, ulcerative colitis. With my conditions every stress in my life exacerbated the colitis. I finally ended up having surgery to remove my entire colon and now I have an ostomy.

Had I the opportunity to discover the healinig effects of medicinal cannabis before it was too late I may still be a whole person.

Of course now the digestive condition is gone but the psychological conditions remain. I discovered cannabis as a means to control my sometimes erratic thoughts and calm my panic attacks and fits of anger/rage. I need this medicine but am forbidden to have it by the powers that be. I find this maddening. Would a 3 foot tall barely animate (certainly not threatening) plant growing in someone's closet be more of a threat than a gun in the hands of someone who merely had to fill out a card and hand someone some cash to buy a weapon legally? or worse yet, hand some thug a stack of cash and buy it illegally? Why should any person be forced too choose between being happy and healthy, or possibly loosing their freedom? Or ironically, getting shot by a legally purchased 9mm in a crime ridden area while trying to 'get his/her "prescription" filled'.

Come on America, WAKE THE F UP!!!!
