Comments for Texas NORML http://texasnorml.org working to reform cannabis laws in Texas Thu, 28 Jan 2010 20:50:16 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 Comment on Why Isn’t There More Medical Marijuana Research? Because The Feds Won’t Allow It, That’s Why! by patc00123 http://texasnorml.org/?p=595&cpage=1#comment-249 patc00123 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 20:50:16 +0000 http://texasnorml.org/?p=595#comment-249 It's this kind of crap that makes me sad to live in todays world. Christ we used to care about peoples wellbeing and the treatment of diseases. 80% of what you find in pharmacies today you find less refined in a botanists shop, I.E. 80% of medicine comes from plants, cultivated for the manufacture of medicine. Who are they as some company to say that cannabis doesn't have any medical use? Thats like Texas deciding asparagus is bad for you because it makes your urine smell, in short it's a load of shit and ,worse yet, the american people just nod and keep walking. If "We The People" don't stand up for our "Rights" "For The Betterment Of The Whole" we will continue to be tread on. Marijuana is a small step in the grand scheme, just yesterday I tried to search for careers in the "Medical Marijuana" field and found only forums of people asking the same thing as I was, in all I've found that your choices are try and be a dispensary a grower or hey there aint much else to offer. "We The People" spend millions and billions for the upper class to this day while we whither away, If the men that wrote the constitution were at one point watching in hopes that they didn't die in vein, they have surely given up by now.

]]> Comment on Gallup: U.S. Support for Legalizing Marijuana Reaches New High by BC Burns http://texasnorml.org/?p=492&cpage=1#comment-243 BC Burns Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:48:57 +0000 http://texasnorml.org/?p=492#comment-243 I have met with two republican representatives today, one new that marijuana was non-toxic and the prohibition was a fraud, the other was genuinely surprised to here the story from 1937 to today. Here is the result.. Nobody is going to stick their neck out for pot smokers. There is no citizen outcry. If we want to get Medical Marijuana legalized, we have to get the churches on the side of compassion and truth. We have to stand up in public and speak out. We have to start handing out literature on the college campuses and churches. I have tried to get letters published in the newspaper's editorial section with no success. We even have a liberal US congress and nothing is being done to repeal a law powered by prejudice and ignorance.

]]> Comment on Texas Monthly October Feature Article – Texas High Ways: Why the unlikeliest of states—ours—should legalize marijuana. by Loui Rosa http://texasnorml.org/?p=475&cpage=1#comment-239 Loui Rosa Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:57:09 +0000 http://texasnorml.org/?p=475#comment-239 This is the best article I have read on cannabis prohibition. The conflict in Mexico is an unspoken war which has bled onto bordering states in the US. The demand for drugs in the US is being supplied from across the border then moved in through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona or California. If one state is going to start the domino affect, the sheer size of Texas seems to fit the bill. Not to mention it is a state that is accustomed to continuing on the beaten path. To me this article is a great focal point for cannabis consumers in Texas to help get the message out and lead its state representatives by example. Through intelligent communication and collective persistence we shall sway our House, Senate and Governor to join its citizens on the road less traveled by.

I strongly support legalize recreation marijuana. I am against taxing homegrowers for growing their plants FOR their PERSONAL USE only. Hey any of you who live in Republican stronghold states, do not bother write letter to congress. Just go to Washington, D.C. Let call it Legalize_MJstock after woodstock. Bring all concertsthere. They can create good pressure on politicans. I believe we will get our wish if we stand up and rally to washington d.c. to be at capitol hill to show our desires.
