Recently, a mother in Minnesota was arrested because she was found guilty of giving her son marijuana that she had obtained legally from Colorado to help control his epileptic seizures. Her big mistake was bringing it back to Minnesota, where it is not legal. She also made the mistake of telling a so-called friend where she got it. This friend called the police.
When I heard about this story, I was shocked. Before the boy began taking marijuana, he had been having up to 3 violent seizures a day. But that doesn't matter to the drones controlling the drugs. They seized his medicine, and now his mother may be going to prison for up to ten years for trying to protect her son. My opinion on the war on drugs is this: you must follow the money. Who has the most to gain from keeping a plant that you could grow on your own for medicinal purposes illegal?Well, Big Pharma for one. Companies like Pfizer and Merck make billions of dollars off of psychiatric medications, and sadly, they have enough money and power to drive the conversation.
And I want to say again to the drug enforcers, have you no soul? Can you not override your preconceived programming to see what is obviously in front of you? Very sick children are getting better. I think change will only happen if the enforcers and the people in general rise up and protest this injustice, and I also think if everyone had to deal with a severely sick child on a daily basis, public perception about things like marijuana would change.
