This guy is a great speaker who really understands his topic and how to express it to the public. And so young too! He cant be much older than me. I would not be surprised to see him in the whitehouse or global politics some day.

What about me? I have a stressful job which causes me insomnia. At one time I got so stressed that my legs and arms got covered with psoriasis. (I quit that client.) I want to use pot to help relieve stress and sleep better. I tried it so I know it works.

Great clip. Seems that “direct democracy”, where people petition and place referendums on their States’ ballots is the best route. I hope that obama will express and tinker with, say, the DEA, to allow for States Rights interpretation of these subsequent MINI-legalizations.

TRUE THAT! I was working with DORS for a long ass time, and they got me a job coach, and I even stopped smoking marijuana a few times, but no one had any money to pay me.

… so if no one is paying me to NOT smoke Marijuana then I’m getting high all day and doing what I feel like doing

@anthonymezzapelle
if you want to help the cause try getting a job and contributing to society rather than live the stereotypical stoner with no job life

GO TERPS !!!!!!!!!!!!

22 AbbeyNormal July 29, 2010 at 1:39 am

Very good speaker and he did a great job advocating. Go Maryland! I think it’s pretty unconscionable to deny medicine to sick people because you’re afraid some people might have too much fun with it. That’s what this whole argument is about pretty much.

It is hard to argue with cancer patients. Yes, acceptance as a medicial treatment will lead to a more general acceptance of the drug. But let´s be real, even the people that don´t smoke know that their alcohol-dependent friend or their majuana-dependent friend are both people that have lost their way and need help. Maybe they need a friend or a passion or that´s for their therapist to figure out. Legaizing marijuana is one way in which we can become less victims of our past.
