RE: 80-Year-Old Grandma Thrown in Jail For Smoking Pot In Her Own Home to Treat Her Arthritis

in #news6 years ago (edited)

See this is the problem with 'legalized' medical marijuana - if you don't pay the fees and get your government permission and have your papers in order, you can still go to jail for possession of a natural plant. I feel like the whole medical marijuana industry is a scam - here in Montana it's not about being sick, it's about paying the doctor $150 to sign some papers, and then paying the state their application fee and then having your card, your government permission slip. Just like driver's license it's bullshit - people don't need to go begging the government for permission to exercise their inherent right to travel, or their right to grow/harvest a natural plant, or their right to use whatever medicine they see fit without government permission slips.

It makes me so angry that the old and vets and seriously sick patients are treated the same as the pothead who just want to be 'legal' - give us the cash and we sign the official papers. It's so wrong. It's all about money and government control, and not about respecting people's rights and ownership of their own body, and government ruins everything they get their greedy power hungry hands on...

Sort:  

You are defintely right in my eyes, its not about whose sick , it about extorting people so they can get "permission" to use cannabis. Meanwhile there are those who need it but can not afford to pay those fees year after year. If your caught with cannabis without a card, you face being subject to fines and possibly jail time.
