My sister FINALLY got her medical marijuana card!!!

[Siwsan]

It has been a red-tape nightmare, here in Michigan. All because her doctor left her middle initial off of the application?!?!? But, she just let me know it's here.

I was just over to see her, today, and she's lost so much weight and is in so much pain. I can only hope and pray that this will help her gain strength to fight this horrible disease and have more comfort and reason for hope.

Thanks to all of my DU friends who have been giving me info and links.

5. My Mom died of cancer,Don't try to tell me it doesn't help.

We talked her into trying it and she started eating again.
She was a Republican and a Cop...And she believed the party line.When she finally got sick enough she tried it.
It works immediately.
I bought her a pound of Skunk from a vietnamese guy at work.My brother said it was Killer.It helped her a lot.

6. I've been nagging her for about 2 years, but she was so resistant

It was weird, because it's not as if we didn't both do our share of imbibing, back in the day, so it wasn't an ethical objection. I just can't understand because I told her if I could get a card to treat my insomnia and job related anxiety, I'd jump at it.

But I think she's reached a point where she's desperate to try anything that might help with her appetite and pain.

7. Get her some,the stronger the better.

I didn't go through a Dr. I just acted on my own.
I also had to tell her Oncologist that if he didn't start medicating her for pain properly he was going to be speaking to her from Montreal or London.
I was getting her the help she needed whether he helped or not.He didn't like that.He told my sister I had a bad attitude.
My sister told him not to bet me,he would lose.lol.Love my Sis.

8. Meanwhile, in Tennessee

We'd far rather burn up money and medicine. The story is 30 thousand plants found, then a few hundred, the value estimated from 2 million to 40 million. Seems law enforcement and the DEA can't do math very well. They burned truckloads of it a few miles away at the Sheriff's department. BECAUSE DRUGZZZZZZ!!!!!

Residents are SHOCKED, SHOCKED I tell you! Even though TN grows 13% of the nations cannabis.

Even though it saves the lives of babies with seizures, and helps people with cancer and PTSD and all sorts of ailments, even though pills and meth are destroying lives in Grundy County that might be okay if they could have a little weed the same way they can have a little beer here.

There is no dentist in the county. Jobs are scarce. People are depressed and there's not mental health care available to most. The value of all crops ( legal ) grown in the county is about 8 million. We could use the revenue.

BUT BURN UP THAT MONEY AND MEDICINE!!!! CUZ WE IZ THE SOUTH AND WE LIKE YOU TO SUFFER!

The South is INSANE.

I am working desperately to get out of this state and move where there are 3 things: compassion, intelligence and FREEDOM.

I can't wait to be back in the United States of America again. The Confederacy is killing me.


EDIT TO ADD: Glad your sister got her medical card! Sorry to have missed the congrats. I hope she gets a great appetite and is not in pain anymore!
