W/o Prop 215, none of the other states in the Union would probably even have had the balls to try anything associated with allowing citizens, sick or not, access to marijuana. The West, more often than not California, is always first (the guinea pig) when it comes to “testing the waters” on issues that may not run parallel to the status quo. Also, most “compassion centers” have outrageously-priced medicine that makes it difficult to afford for the people that really need it the most. Growing-Your-Own can be much cheaper than buying your medicine from a dispensary. The problem in California is not that people are allowed to grow, as you both stated… The problem is that there are no clear-set guidelines in place. Also, @ Patrick: Sleep apnea/Insomnia is a serious health concern, which I have been dealing with my whole life, and Medical Cannabis is a great way to catch some “Zzz’s.” I understand what you’re saying about people trying to get a medical marijuana recommendation by using a shitty run-of-the-mill excuse that they may not even have in the first place, but if someone does indeed have an actual problem with their health, and marijuana can help relieve any of a person’s health issues, and with fewer toxic agents/chemicals (healthier), then I believe that they should not be turned away from the benefit of using a natural product like cannabis as a medicine, no matter how acute or life-threatening it may be. Besides, isn’t the point of The Movement to make sure that anyone who wants access to MJ can do so without gov./legal interference?
