(12,081 posts)If you don't I suggest asking some patients about how cannabis helps them. I know many patients who have glaucoma, diabetes, neuropathy pain, cancer, depression, anxiety many of whom refuse to use opiates and other pharmaceuticals who depend on medical cannabis to feel better, be healthier and lead productive lives and go out into the world and work and be happy. And just legalizing marijuana doesn't necessarily solve patient's problems either. Sometimes it makes it worse. WA is trying to eliminate medical marijuana . They are trying to make growing your own cannabis illegal, close all dispensaries, make all collective gardens where neighbors share with each other kind of like a pea patch illegal. They want to force all patients to register and will hand over the list to the authorities, so that patients can be harassed and arrested. They want to force people to buy from recreational shops all so they can make more money. That is not legalization. That is not freedom. If they think they can stop patients from growing their own medicine and sharing with other patients, they are nuts. It will not happen.
