MMEC would like to extend to Darren, and anyone else out there suffering in pain needlessly to contact MMEC for a discounted marijuana doctors recommendation.

Tell’em Alex sent you.

Things like the fact that in a situation where I would need the help of an ambulance crew, the strongest thing they would usually have on hand to give me when I could be in even worse pain would be morphine, and since I take that daily, it likely would not be very effective for relieving my suffering. And how about the next time I need surgery and will be faced with post-op pain?

The addiction factor alone scares the hell out of me, too… I mean, I didn’t grow up wishing that the doctors would make me into the basic equivalent of a “heroin junkie” one day, and it should be obvious what my fate will be when they have the technology to repair my spinal condition and it’s finally time to go off the legal “smack.” Can you say, “Horrible withdrawal symptoms”, at the very least?

I use medical marijuana to help alleviate some of the pain I’m in, and to help me cope with some of the symptoms of the Bipolar Disorder that came into my life along with all the other little gifts of puberty that we all know so well.

In our community garden, next to the tomatoes and other vegetables, you will find a few more plants growing naturally in the sun. When they are ripe my friends and I harvest their flowers and consume them just like we do with all of our garden’s gifts from nature.

I have found that if I simmer dried marijuana leaves and flowers in olive oil or butter for a few hours in the slow cooker, all the beneficial compounds of cannabis are drawn out into the oil, changing them no more than to add a mild, pleasant aroma and taste, and a light green tint to these foods.

I often rub the resulting cannabis olive oil on my arthritic knees when they hurt because it eases the pain better than any store bought remedy I know of.

I like to eat foods cooked with cannabis butter because they taste really good to me, and when cannabis compounds enter the human body naturally through the digestive system there are very little intoxicating effects, yet I get all the benefits of the pain and muscle spasm relief that the cannabis compounds can provide.

I also have found that I don’t build up a tolerance to the cannabis like I do the morphine and other man made drugs, so I substitute some additional use of this natural plant to slow down the addiction/tolerance factor of the morphine.

And, yes, I also smoke cannabis for pain relief and to relax my tired body sometimes, but I only do so in areas where cigarette smoking is allowed (as the medical marijuana laws say I must) and I make a conscious effort to see that nobody gets exposed to any of the second hand smoke.

I try to be a responsible citizen…

I follow all the laws that I am aware of except for federal medical marijuana laws (Oh yeah, President Obama said medical marijuana patients and providers are good to go on the Federal level, too, so long as we don’t break any other laws, so is that really…), and I try to better myself and my community whenever I get the opportunity. I strive do these things every day, just as I try to do all things in my life, with the intention of “doing no harm” to others while enjoying my life to its fullest.

I am Community Liaison for Americans for Safe Access Fresno Chapter, a community outreach organization that helps interested persons learn how medical marijuana issues relate to their particular situations. Our organization helps people who may need medical marijuana for a medical condition, their families, and their health care providers, to better understand how existing laws and social attitudes affect them in their current situation. We are also available as a resource for concerned citizens that want to know more about medical marijuana issues.

One of my biggest hopes is that the people that oppose medical marijuana will not cause even one sick and suffering person to be denied access to a natural medicine that has the potential to, if nothing else help them feel better for a little while.

The bottom line is that Californian Law does not allow sales. It is time to change the law.
