Unless the medication is approved by a physician within federal guidelines, drug warriors are against anyone feeling good, being at ease, being pain free. The people believe in self-government and self-medication. Warriors can get their adrenaline rush making us all safer, catching violent predators! Harassing the sick and dying is an un-American activity.

The debate over medical marijuana or cannabis is really a scandalous controversy over whether this very easy-to-grow herb should be allowed to compete with pharmaceuticals for pennies on the dollar. "Narcotics destroy the lives of chronic users. In contrast marijuana
often restores a degree of normalcy and functionality. Don't we owe
our vets this choice?" Dr. Robert Melamede asks.

A resounding and absolute yes!! Veterans and all of us deserve the free use of all herbal medicine! The naturally medicinal cannabis plant and other medicinal herbs scare the pharmaceutical industry because they cannot be patented as medicine. Many herbs and other natural occurring compounds don't need their tweaking to be good medicine and are indeed synthesized in many patent medicine formulas.

There is a morally bankrupt conspiracy to keep all of us from using or even knowing about natural health solutions. Crush cancer with hemp. Repealing prohibition of marijuana would bring other much needed health care reform.

We need to fight drug abuse with compassion; treat nonviolent abusers as patients not criminals. Fight use with factual evidence! We are diminishing the use of tobacco with the campaign, Knowledge is Contagious, so Infect Truth! Educate people and they will make better choices for themselves.

The really dangerous drugs are the legal ones. Over a thousand people die each day due to tobacco use! Close to 300 a day die from prescribed pharmaceuticals. The tobacco, alcohol and pharmaceuticals gangs deal drugs causing more death annually than all illicit drugs We tolerate their salesmen!

Medicine has become just another big business with profits more important than the well being of the individual. Our under-treatment of pain is medieval or just plain evil! Dr. David E. Joranson of the University of Wisconsin Medical school thinks, "The use of pain medications has become a crime story when it should be a health care story."

Most Americans and Texans agree and believe health care is the responsibility of the individual. The use of marijuana has been demonized and made a crime, when in truth, it is a health care story about a safer choice!

Texas straight talker, Representative Ron Paul says we are "politicizing pain." Stop the increased witch hunt against Dr. Feel Good & stop the federal suppression of herbal medicine! "Congress should put the American people back in charge of healthcare by expanding healthcare tax credits and deductions, increasing access to Health Savings Accounts, respecting privacy and the doctor/patient relationship. Further politicizing and bureaucratizing of healthcare will only increase costs and reduce quality, as demonstrated by most other countries with socialized medicine," warns Dr. Ron Paul.

Some scientists speculate that cannabinoids play a protective role in the brain, slowing the rate of disease. An alliance of US physicians and researchers have founded a new organization devoted to endorsing ethical standards in therapeutic cannabis treatment. "The American Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine is a professional medical organization dedicated to the clinical and scientific understanding of the endoccannabinoid system and the therapeutic application of cannabis and cannabinoids," states the group's press release.

Cannabis medicines were once the “drugs of choice” in the United States. Until they were declared illegal, they had been used in about 30 prescription medicines for a 100 specific medical problems.

Scientists have discovered that one of Bob Dylan's most famous
lines, "everybody must get stoned," tells it like it is. They have found that our brains manufacture proteins (canabinoids) that act like marijuana (THC) at specific receptors in the brain itself.

The FDA reeks of corruption. It has not approved any herbs or vitamins for the treatment of illnesses. They are owned by big pharma. Read: "Tyranny in the USA: The true history of FDA raids on healers, vitamin shops and supplement companies."You can learn more about the true history of the FDA and Big Pharma in Mike Adams tell-all book, Natural Health Solutions and the Conspiracy to Keep You From Knowing About Them.

Abolish the FDA and DEA! The UL model (the trusted source across the globe for product safety compliance) might work better to protect us from unconscionable medical profiteers. It is definitely safer to grow natural herb and vegetable gardens than to expect the government or a pill to solve all our ills.

All families are at risk in the state of Texas if the Governor Perry signs
SB 1440. The FLDS case, in which Texas took over 400 children based on no tangible evidence of abuse or neglect, demonstrated the sweeping power that the government wields against families, even those accused by false reports.

Too many rights are already being trampled in the name of "child protection," yet kids placed in foster care when their parents are incarcerated for drug use have four times the death rate of kids left with their parents. If this bill is not vetoed, it will suspend parental 4th amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure during the investigation phase of child protection cases.

HB 3680 is pure, alive today, reefer madness. Although proponents claim that it is intended to protect children, it would actually tear apart families by sending parents to jail for simply possessing marijuana in the same home as someone under 18 years of age. TX Senate, House.

Laws against moral issues, like suicide, drug abuse and sex acts are mostly useless or worse counter productive as far as prevention. They are against our founders and Jesus' teachings of freedom of choice, of free will. Moral issues belong to the individual's beliefs or church philosophy. The family is far superior to the state as a means of moral development and social control.

The destruction of the sacred family unit is one of the worst consequences of the new prohibition. The propaganda is we wage this war to protect our children. The devastating and deadly facts are our babies, especially teens have become collateral damage in this grossly failed war.

Only 50 percent of high school students graduate in our ten biggest cities and only 40 per cent graduate in NYC, Baltimore and Detroit. In the Netherlands 92 percent graduate; that's No Child Left Behind! There drugs are regulated, controlled, taxed and made legally available to everyone over eighteen.

The government is best left out of our personal moral dilemmas. They are needed to protect us from fraud and violence. At present they are too busy trying to be our moral police instead of our safety police Get tough on violent crime!

The Spirit of '76 was the Holy Spirit and is our true North! Save the children! Save the sacred family unit! Please ask Governor Perry to veto SB 1440! Victims of Child Abuse Legislation (VOCAL)is a national organization parents can look to for help in these cases.

Weed out morally bankrupt servants of tyranny, gun control fanatics and racists by taking away the main tool they use these days to extend their agenda, the new prohibition. Servants of tyranny want you to believe the evils of the drug war are unintended but felony convictions disenfranchise mostly poor and minority Americans.

End the demented new prohibition, help construct better safer drug policies for society and the individual. Take morally bankrupt profiteers, servants of tyranny, gun control fanatics and racists a step closer to being politically dead bodies.

Stop prohibition triggered violence, official lawlessness, racism, tyranny
and ruined lives! Murderers and other violent predators roam free, while we police nonviolent adult social, medicinal and religious drug use. Limited resources can be better-spent catching pedophiles, rapists and killers. More time could go toward stopping DUI and those selling drugs to minors. Some of the estimated $50 to $70 billion per year local/state/federal budget could go toward true education.

The bodies pile up like cordwood or holocaust victims (more than 33,000 precious lives lost in 2005) but does anyone care if overdose deaths skyrocket!?...That research shows little or no overdose deaths before prohibition? ...That marijuana was once used to help people withdraw from opium and opiates?" New Mexico is the only state so far to show a little compassion. The NM 911 Good Samaritan law helps to eliminate the fear of arrest when calling 911 for help during an overdose.

Prescription meds mixed with alcohol figure in most suicides. Treating drug abusers compassionately, as patients with an illness might help prevent this tragedy and many others.. The sweet milk of human desire or our consuming passions can destroy us or, as we gain better control, make us stronger.

Problems don't go away just because the government makes them illegal; they just go underground. Then a black market creates worse problems; since sellers cannot rely on police to protect their property, they arm themselves and form gangs. The more despicable sellers recruit minors to sell to their peers, charge monopoly prices and kill the competition. Some buyers steal to pay the high prices.

European harm reduction policy works so much better than our current response. Help construct better, safer drug policies for society and the individual. The violence, official lawlessness and prison over population are a policy created nightmare. Help restore justice!

Dear Friend of Liberty, your hard work and dedication has resulted in Ron Paul's Audit the Fed bill, HR 1207, gaining the support of a majority of the House of Representatives! Just moments after, Dr. Paul's congressional office issued a press release announcing that HR 1207 had received its 218th cosponsor, the list grew again, jumping to 222 cosponsors!

If you haven't already, please, join the Easy Revolution. The web is the fastest growing communications medium in the history of the world. A powerful tool, a window of opportunity, in our war of good over evil; the Internet continues to revolutionize the way we communicate and has enormous potential for reshaping the political process.

If you believe politics or power corrupts DOWNSIZEDC.ORG recognizes your genius!

Changing whose in charge will not affect much. The real cause of this huge quagmire of failed policy is the beast, big government, that money hungry beast, Uncle Sam! Ma Freedom tells it like it is! The beauty of it is when we focus on downsizing our government we regain our roots of self-government and secure the blessings of liberty for future generations and ourselves.

Follow your bliss!
