In reply to the discussion: More Democrats stand up to threats & intimidation from Obama Adm. and condemn medical pot attacks [View all]Aerows
(39,961 posts)I don't smoke pot, so it doesn't affect me one way or the other, but when you deny a proven medical treatment that can improve the quality of life for the very ill, or even worse, prosecute them, that is wrong.
I don't care who says it's right - I will vigorously disagree with them, no matter what "side" they are on.
Do you think it is right to deny a proven medical treatment to the very ill, or to prosecute them, regardless of WHO does it? If you can say "yes" to that question, just because of a particular politician or party, you choose political expediency over common decency and compassion.
If that statement bothers some of the usual suspects in this thread - and make no mistake, I'm an Obama supporter - so be it. I can support the man without throwing my brain, my compassion and my ethics out the window. A few of you - and we all know who you are - ought to try it sometime, this thinking for yourself idea, and having some common decency and compassion.
