Thanks for having Carl on. I can only hope Medical Marijuana will be law by 2010 Iowa, if not chances are I will have to move to a state that I can get legal protection as well as state legal access.
The dabate is on, myths are being shattered in Washington, the smell of change will be freedom.
I am living, breathing, walking, talking,working, talking, typing, working, VOTING proof medical marijuana works. Botanical cannabis is an ancient healing herb since B.C. It is God’s 1st medicine.
Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2004, with the steroid treatments and pain killers my pain level is 4/5.
Using marijuana as an alternative, my pain level is at 8. Arresting me for a medicine safer than anything from Walgreens, is a complete injustice. I’ve been there.
Thanks Rooster…………..(Mac it’s NO cancerous properties)
yes the only way to cure reefer sadness is eductions, pot-bigots like Grassley aka pigots = marijuana to coke,crack,meth,heroin……..

WRCB Channel 3 Chattanooga News, Weather | They Caught the Tater: Comedian Ron White Busted for Marijuana
Comedian Ron White’s run-ins with the law make up a big part of his act on the popular “Blue Collar Comedy Tour”.
Now he’s got some fresh material.
White was arrested for marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia in Vero Beach, Florida on Wednesday.
Every state and country in the world should legalize weed.
there is no good reason for cannabis to be illegal. i will not support a candidate or corporation that is anti-marijuana.
A New Economic Foundation,
Renewable Energy and the Social Contract
We have an opportunity to create a new economic foundation based on renewable natural resources, yielding thousands of green jobs, producing a sustainable replacement for oil and the restoration of social consent and confidence in the body politic. All of that and more made manifest by a stroke of the pen, simply by properly classifying hemp as the medicine and beneficial resource that over 100,000,000 Americans already know it is. Hemp, cannabis is good.
The social benefit of a rational hemp policy would be to restore social consent and confidence in the body politic. Currently, over 100,000,000 Americans have used marijuana and have decided that it is a good thing, not dangerous and should be free, not used to ruin peoples lives by arrest, confiscation and disenfranchisement. Thinking people do their own research and many times conclude that the laws against marijuana are arbitrary, unjust, wrong and that the only people who support them are either uninformed or their jobs depend upon the mandatory acceptance of marijuana prohibition. This is the true silent majority, citizens who think that the marijuana laws are irrational and are afraid of persecution and discrimination if they express their opinions publicly.
Industrial hemp production could provide a domestic and renewable source of fuel, fiber and jobs. Hemp can be grown, produced and processed all across the land by thousands of urban farmers using land, lots, parks and public lands lying fallow and unused. These green jobs are about the growing, harvesting and processing of locally grown organics for food and fuel and could constitute the bedrock of a truly independent economy, intrinsically secure, renewable and stable, sustainable and most importantly doable.
The benefits of a rational hemp policy are financial, social and moral.
The economic impact of is three fold; first is the creation of Jobs based on a sustainable, clean source of fuel, fiber and medicine, estimated at over One Trillion dollars. Good jobs that produce energy and tax revenue that is
The second is the savings to taxpayers by eliminating the money spent on law enforcement, the courts and prisons, estimated at over 8 billion a year. The third is the cost to individuals and families who are criminalized by a system that encourages law enforcement to arrest people, fine them, confiscate their property, and disenfranchise them from the vote, healthcare, professional licenses and credit. This cost is measured in the billions of dollars. All totaled the war on marijuana and the lost opportunities to develop hemp; combined with the needless suffering of those persecuted is over 2 Trillion dollars a year.
The moral benefit is simple; the truth will set us free.
We need to decriminalize marijuana and repel the effects of the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act to restore the production, development and use of the most sustainable, renewable natural resource recorded in history. Hemp production can replace the use of oil as a fuel quickly, efficiently and at low cost. Hemp is a renewable crop that can be grown on land not used for food, improving the land and providing a carbon neutral source of fuel. Hemp production and processing will create jobs all across the land while providing a local and domestic source of energy.
The use of marijuana for medical purposes is the oldest and most universally documented use of any substance in medical history. 13 states have decided that marijuana is a beneficial plant and it is time allow and encourage the use and investigation of medical marijuana and industrial hemp.
Hemp production was the economic foundation of colonial America because it was readily grown and used for over 25,000 different purposes; Hemp was grown for sails, rope, oil for lamps, clothing and high quality paper. The Declaration of Independence was drafted on hemp paper by Thomas Jefferson, an advocate of hemp for commerce, medicine and recreation. George Washington was one of the largest hemp growers in the colonies and the renewable income produced by this plant sustained our first president and his family before, during and after the revolution. It is fair to say that the spirit to be free and independent was made possible by the ability of our fore fathers to be economically independent and free. Hemp production was the backbone of liberty, freedom and economic independence for colonial America and could once again be the keystone of a renewable, sustainable and yes, Independent economy.
Mac or Rooster try and call this guy……….

I grow cannabis in Iowa, I eat cannabis here in Iowa, I smoke cannabis here in Iowa, I am as Iowan as it is possible to get. I am 100% third generation Iowan from Both sides of my family.
I smoke pot. I want it leaglaized so I can do as my grandmother, Mildred Violet Manke, who was listed Personally in the first, federal census in the state of Iowa ever taken. In 1965 she instucted me, her oldest grandson, in the serious art of applied herbology she used to keep her children alive with before doctors knew what bacteria were. She showed me the thistles and the milkweed… and the reefer growing up against the side of the house ” good for female troubles, the pukes, and migraines”
why is it that I am forced to listen to that dinosaur grassley and not listen to my own grandmother?
she was smarter than that bastard grassley is!
Bonged up to the biological maximum lol I took the productivity record away from my ex-military policeman/admitted alcoholic line supervisor at Motorola as a electronics technician who tested and aligned multi freq FM transmitter/receivers with digital squelch.
I ruined the corporate understanding. Oh, and I took the corporate field quality away from him too. I wasn’t just good at electronics while stoned… I was the very best there is.
So, the idea it makes you stupid is full of beans. That concept is pure ignorence or hate because it has no verification. I did the verifying.
Now, I have six fuzed vertebra, two harrington rods, four blasted cervical discs, etc. I tell pot nazi grassley I can take my morphene, or percocets, or methadones… right now as I type. Why is it my horrible pain isn’t a Danmed good reason to grow my own pot, grassley?
he is a dinosaur and must go.
I told him, “We will not remember you for your tax work, your roads and parks… we will remember you for enableing gunned up costumed avengers to enter our bedrooms early in the morning to forcably steal our fchildren, at gun point, from scfreaming mommies who were caught smoking a joint.
We will remember who did that nazi evil to us. We will never forget that. We will never forget who did that to us.
