Glad to see you here

If we can get a small group of local folks together, a meeting with some local reps will worthwhile. It's a lot easier for a local group of us to schedule a meeting(s) than it was for MPP which isn't local to the area.

Reading some of the threads on the Reading Eagle forum these days is like reading this site LOL!

Simon is a local attorney who's listed with NORML as one of their recommended attorneys. I just thought that as someone active in the movement you might have crossed paths with him at one time or another.

Regarding setting up a meeting with a local representrative, I'm very interested. I don't have much of a political background but I believe I could provide some excellent testimony based on the benefits I get from marijuana medically. I was diagnosed with epilepsy at age 18 (in 1982) and have since been declared disabled.

Because I don't work a regular job I probably have much more time available than most to be active in pro-weed endeavors. My latest kick has been attempting to educate as many mainstream type folks (like at ReadingEagle.com) of the numerous medical and socio-economic benefits of "freeing the weed". It's good to see how many ordinary people support legalization when given the opportunity to look at the prospect of it objectively without fear of being labeled a pot-head or being scrutinized.

Let me know if any job opportunities become available with Cannabis.com and Mari-Hemp, due to my very limited income (on Supplemental Security) I'm always looking to bolster my income while doing something that I believe in.

Also, if you find that my testimony regarding medical marijuana's effectiveness could be of use, please don't hesitate to contact me.

How did you get involved with administering these sites?
