For the most part I talked to people who bitched about the "man" and the "system" not taking medical marijuana seriously etc, blah blah. When I looked at these dirty and great unwashed people I had no problem understanding why our lawmakers and the medical community dont take any of this seriously, despite the obvious benefits. A shave and haircut never hurt anybody. A lawmaker wont take seriously anybody wearing a t-shirt that says "Pay me Mother Fucker". Nor do they like 1980s Misfits rock and roll t shirts. If this is ever going to be taken seriously, the people involved need to look serious and not like a gaggle of filthy burn-outs. I hate to see this opportunity to be destroyed or stopped because a bunch of slackers wont play the part and prove they are indeed something other than black market pot heads.
Portzilla I was part of the event staff and would like to post my view on your comments first off the event was open to the public and as such there are all kinds of people in this world. The event was to promote awareness of the program here in N.M. You say "I went and hoped to learn more than I did". I am not sure what you mean by that If you had spent more time listening than watching how others were dressed you might have Learned what you were you were looking for.Then you say "I hate to see this opportunity to be destroyed or stopped because a bunch of slackers wont play the part and prove they are indeed something other than black market pot heads. The people in the program ALL have qualifying conditions.And yes there were a lot of people that were bitching about the "man" and the "system" DO YOU BLAME THEM? I think that the event went over very good for the first year. What I would like to see is an event like this only for people in the program that way more thing can be done to cater to those people.BUT their are not enough people in the program to be able to pull that off maybe in time that will happen.
