Article submitted to the Ledger but Ledger refused to publish - Why?


Yes on 2

As a young Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps I was assigned an additional duty to be my Battalion’s Substance Abuse Control Officer or SACO. The privilege of being assigned the duty of SACO one was taught everything the Government knew on controlled substances to include Marijuana.  Looking back some 30 plus years, it surprises me that the Government and the FEAR Mongers messages has not changed, yet much has been learned about this substance over the past 3 decades such as there are:


·       is proven and preferred treatment over drugs for

o   PTSD, Pain

o   Arthritis The ancient Chinese can't be wrong: cannabis may be able to "undo" rheumatism.

o   treatment for Alcoholism, Diabetes, Cannabis can help reduce blood sugar, improve blood pressure, and, when used in the kitchen, is incredibly heart-healthy.


·       And the list of benefits goes on while not a single death is attributed to a marijuana overdose according to the CDC, contrary to what the FEAR Mongers would like you to think.

With all of this recent science why has the FEAR monger’s message not changed; one has to ask why? 

Did you know that our Government has a cannabis Patent No.6630507, that covers the use of cannabinoids for treating a wide range of diseases and can explain why some are doing everything they it can to delay Medical Marijuana until Big Pharma can develop manmade drug(s) to do what Marijuana already does; and we all have seen what happens to drug prices. 

That is why I am asking all Compassionate Floridians to Vote Yes on Amendment 2.   Please support hurting Floridians and not pad the wallets of Big Pharma.
