(534 posts)I don't see what more we can do along those lines than what is being done. What does he want already, blood? What is it he expects of us when our community is already sacrificing 850,000 people PER YEAR to his draconian cause? Many of whom have legitimate medical reasons for using pot but even if they didn't, really, what more can we do to convince him that this issue is important to the majority of Americans. SO important that it continues to rank as the number One issue on his own website.
How much further does he need his feet to the fire? Will it take one of us setting ourselves ablaze, like the protesting monks?
If I sound like I'm being dramatic, consider this: in the past couple months, a DEMOCRATIC administration has closed almost every single dispensary in my city of San Diego, California. I am assuming it is the same throughout most if not all of the state. They have been forced to go to all delivery, which has drastically raised prices--so high that I can no longer afford my medication. And I do need it. I've made an appointment with my doctor so that I can get a prescription medication to take the place of the weed (which was working better for me than any other medication ever did). I do that reluctantly because this particular medication has side effects that I don't even want to ponder.
