On December 29 th . 1997, I wrote to Attorney General Dan Lungren. I'm certain you will agree, I said, that it is not feasible to expect sick people, many who are in wheelchairs, to have to break the law to obtain their medicine. Many are not able to even leave their homes. I made it clear that there must be a safe and legal distribution system.
Many patients have no place to grow pot.
Those who do are afraid of being ripped-off. To go into back alley's the ill are subjected to receiving poor grade, and possibly poison-sprayed marijuana. Marijuana prohibition was created by ignorance, hypocrisy, misrepresentation, greed, power, money, racism, perjury, and government betrayal. The government has always been aware that marijuana was coveted medicine used in china for more than 5,000 years. In 5,000 years of history pot has never caused one toxicity related death.
