Rant About MMJ Detractors From Council Meetings!

I have noticed a few local Columnists have been swirling some "Stories" (editorial commentary) about MMJ (Medical Marijuana) Patients shouting, dressing badly and behaving "Out Of Order" at council Meetings... well...

I was not there; I did not witness any particular incident!  However, I will say that I can understand that there are some real anger issues and how frustrated people are over this mess (not just in Chico), because, it does not matter ONE BIT what "these people" have to say, no matter WHAT, the Councils (multiple cities) are going to do whatever it is they have set their narrow minds to do, the "haves" are squashing the "have nots" and they are becoming increasingly overwhelmed with the inability to get a “message” through to them!  Nor do they understand the audacity to show a total lack of empathy in these "Councils" everywhere that are determined to run over their rights to affordable medication!!! Also, it is very tacky to keep on attacking their "attire", challenge their intelligence and then call out for their ridicule instead of hearing ANYTHING that they are upset and overwrought about!! Other, "classier" MMJ patients are hiding and living in fear they will be "discovered" and subsequently ostracized by their so called "peers" and stay quietly aside and silent!  They can and will continue to afford to buy it OTC, no matter the rise in cost and will say nothing!  For example, there is not a chance your going to see the “Nursing Supervisor” from our Local Hospital there, standing up for her rights and waving her MMJ card around!!  Certainly not, she will continue to pay an exorbitant price at the local store because there is no way she can grow her 2-3 plants and can never let anyone know she has a Prescription!  You are only getting to witness the anger and frustration of the people with pretty much nothing left to loose and have no other way to get their only means of RELIEF for their PAIN AND SUFFERING!  What do you think the chances are of getting part of that scrip picked up by Medicare Plan B?  No?  Okay, well, it costs about $300-$500 per month on average OTC right NOW!  Keep putting those restrictions on and soon it will be X2-X3 higher than that! YOU would be outraged and out of control too if you had to live in constant PAIN, every minute of every hour, because some ignorant fool does not like the smell of your PLANT!  Mind you this smell is only for a few weeks ONCE a year!!  Dog poop, lawn/bug sprays and leaf fires are YEAR ROUND!!  How about a ban on all noxious plants? I wish they would ban all flowering trees too, at least a few hundred feet from my house, because they are Killing My Allergies right now!!

Medical Marijuana Has Significant Effect On Pain Tolerence

I so lifted this picture from the internet and cannot find where now...

I have found that there is a determinative level between "just enough" and "too much" when using my Medical Marijuana.  It varies slightly between Strains and Types, but there is still a "cut-off" point between what it takes to trim the proverbial "edge" off my pain level and sitting someplace drooling on myself while engrossed in "Little House On The Prairie"!  I like to just be able to forget about my pain enough to be temporarily distracted by doing my simple activities and chores!  In comparison of course, the usual Pharmacological Cocktail I would be on, to reach the same level of pain tolerance, would have me curled up on the couch for the entire day!  They would usually make me feel like I am about to pass out and I feel nauseous most of the time.  So, I gladly take a little time to titrate my dosages and methods for a Medication that makes me feel good instead of worse than my illnesses! :)

I have become a real Princess when it comes to smoking my Cannabis, I am fastidious and clean my apparatus several times a week, I use a "filter", use a bees wax wick for lighting and I use very small amounts because I do not like smoking a "brown bowl"... I am so spoiled...

I really wish I had a Vaporizer, but unfortunately they are out of my financial grasp at the moment! :-}

I must say, "Hats Off" to the wonderful Staff over there at Redding's "Nature's Nexus" they are knowledgeable, courteous and very friendly! (Fun too) ...  :)

Is There No Such Thing As An Serious Conversation Concerning The Use Of Medical Marijuana??

I have been Combing the Internet trying to find a Real discussion, having to do with the "Actual' Use of Medical Marijuana!  I seem to be able to find a plethora of sites with idiotic bantering of/about "Yeah Man...My Bud Rocks DUDE!", and even the occasional brain picker concerning the neurotransmitter receptors, neurotransmitter factors, neuropeptides and hormones receptors, but a "real conversation" about the everyday, Real life World application of Medical Marijuana to a Real Life has pretty much so far eluded me!

"Why Would You Eat That?" Conditioning? IDK?

I recently was overcome with the urge to purchase a chub of "Liverwurst" as I was browsing through the Deli section at my local Mart.  Quickly pounced on by (family) observers, I was besotted with questions (?); What is that? Why would you eat it?  To wit I could only respond, uhm, well, I don't know?

When I was a child, my Dad prepared, served and ate some really mysterious things.  He was raised on a Farm in North Dakota, where apparently on cold winter nights, deep in the snow, anything is edible... consequently, My Dad felt compelled to BBQ, Pickle, Jerk, Dry, or Encase just about any form of meat!  I guess it was a Hobby of sorts, weird, but interesting eating...when your hungry, you will eat some strange things too...

We had Rattlesnake, Possum, Bear, Ostrich and Alligator as well as any number of more usual things like Deer, Moose, Elk, Boar, Rabbit, Quail and hell I guess the list is too long...but you get the picture!
But whenever he coveted something, he had a way of "sneaking" it off to his room and we would be of course BARELY the wiser most of the time, only getting "wind" of it once in awhile, like an empty package or container!  This of course made it all the more desirable to us, the ones NOT getting any of it!

One of these strange things my Dad Hoarded and wouldn't give up was his Liverwurst, or Braunschweiger, this of course has set me up for life to occasionally and without reason suddenly desire to purchase and consume some unknown and strange meat sandwich... I don't WANT to find out what is in it... just pass the mustard and leave me alone... at least I'm not hunting Rattlers!  Well,..... lately...  "0

Living In Constant Pain Sucks!

It is like a nightmare you cannot wake up from!  My pain NEVER leaves me!  Ever!  24 hours a day, every minute, second, is just a matter of degree!  What level is the pain?  Is it down at the level low enough (2-3) that I can try to preoccupy my mind to cover it?  Or, is it jacked up so high that each move I make has to be calculated as to what degree of agony I am going to suffer in repercussion of moving?  I have to decide if whatever I am about to do, "is it worth it?", if I am going to go cook something, walking to the kitchen is the equivalent of ripping off a band-aid with each step!  Now, I still have to open the refrigerator, pull something out, lift the pan onto the stove, each time weighing the odds as to how much pain I can take!

No drugs stop the pain, a few will dull it, but the cost of LIFE for that MINOR relief is too high!  I do not want to be a zombie!  I keep a few bottles of things around just in case, but don't want to go out that way!  Cannabis does at least helps me to live on the level where it is bearable most of the time, without all the "other" side effects!  I have enough trouble dealing with my "condition" without adding the dizziness, vomiting, lethargy, digestive problems and so on and so forth that I have to deal with from the Pharmacopia offered by the MD!

Sitting down, laying down, no matter what position I am in I am still in pain!  I have a bizarre condition that any movement can and often leads me to even more severe spasms with twisting, pulsating pain and it is so intense I am literally left screaming in agony!  I choose to live and push forward, but often wonder how close to the edge I can go...

They STOLE My POT Man!! Is There A MMJ POLICE?l?

So, I guess this is just the hazard of being at the mercy of regulations that keep me from providing my own plants?  If I could grow my own little measly few (3-4) plants I would not have to "farm out" my medical recommendation to someone else to grow for me, and now of course they would not just be keeping it!  What can I do?  I sure can't physically go over there and confront them!!  So, after buying plants/seeds for the "group", special soil, nutrients and so on in the $$hundreds of dollars, the entire season is now over, I have no hope of recouping, I now have zero (0) medication because they got mad (?)!  Won't even take my calls...

I am thinking now, I should have considered that Morphine Implant....

Another Reefer Madness Tactic "High At Work!" We Are All Going To Die Now!! Public Safety Is At Risk!!

And then we are going to eat your babies, rape your dogs and burrow under your house while you sleep!
GTFOH!
Really?  I could ROFL just thinking about the people hanging from the rafters, laughing hysterically, eyes flicking wildly as they try to serve our breakfast, ring a sale or stamp our tickets!  Maybe the cop that stops me will just want to try my stash!
City council meetings would be a lot more fun! :)
