Pot Smoking Saves Lives

I know it does. As a Hospital Corpsman in the U.S. Navy, I saw the difference between the patients who were undergoing chemotherapy with only the futile government-approved anti-nausea drugs to support them, and the ones who were risking dishonorable discharges by using the safest and most effective antinausea medication available.

The other day, the Oregon Legislature passed new legislation, increasing access to medicinal marijuana while closing loopholes that created the possibility of abuse.

The headline in the Salem Statesman-Journal read, "New laws include medical-marijuana changes"

In the Eugene Register-Guard, the headline was "New year's laws give patients more pot"

Here in little old Corvallis, the Gazette-Times said, "Pot laws change for med users"

But I prefer Kathe's own headline: "Oregon to Feds: Fuck Off!"

//The Magic 8-Ball says, "Speak the truth to power".\\
