What i've come to find over the last 26 yrs of life is that Western Medicine is one the scariest things around. As a child i was prescribed heavy doses of ritalin, spinal taps, and all kinds of other fucked up treatments. These where given to me because the doctors said that i was very fast thinking, non conforming, and depressed. Well i don't know what child isn't bummed out when they're forced to see creepy doctors and take medicine that turns you into a real life zombie, and have 3 inch needle shoved into their little spines. Many years later i've come to a point in the road where my health isn't all that great, and the doctors i'm seeing just want to keep me high and not in a good way. All of my friends that know me know i would rather puff on a little grass any day rather than kill my liver and brain in one go. Now that i live in california, i have the choice to grow and legally smoke but there comes a dilemma. California law does not mean shit under federal law, and as much as i want to sign up for medical cannibis i'm torn. I don't really feel like having the DEA coming to my door, or any club i'm in and hauling me off. What is a man supposed to... I guess as americans we don't really have that many rights. With Pharmy and Alcohol companies lobbying to keep pot illegal, when will americans actually take a stand. Not to mention that hemp alone could offer a new chance for americans to grow their own futures, stop destruction of forests, change fuel consumption, and give all the men and women in prison for petty drug charges jobs working in the industry that deemed them criminals. Who would of ever thought that i'd spend a good portion of my life pondering why my government claims they know whats best for me, i don't believe it.
