Iraq War vet denied medical marijuana for PTSD first to buy legal pot in Colorado

An Iraq War veteran who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder became the first person to legally buy recreational marijuana under a new Colorado law that went into effect New Year’s Day.

Sean Azzarti, of Denver, who helped campaign for Amendment 64, a voter-approved measure that permits anyone over 21 to buy or consume marijuana, purchased an eighth of an ounce of Bubba Kush marijuana and a pot-infused truffle for $59 from one of the two dozen stores that started selling up to an ounce of the drug Wednesday morning.

“I feel amazing. This is a huge step forward for veterans,” said Azzarti, who was unable to purchase medical marijuana under his diagnosis. “Now I get to use recreational cannabis to alleviate my PTSD.”

Long lines began forming outside the stores later in the morning, and at least one shop raised prices for an eighth of an ounce – from $25 to $45 – as demand soared.

2. So do I

3. happy for Mr. Azzarti

and for everyone else who will benefit from this progress

4. I imagine more than a few people who

can't get medical marijuana, and feel they could benefit from it might feel compelled to go where they can buy it legally!

I'm glad for Sean Azzarti~ What a load off your mind.. one of the bush-cheney victims. Not lethal like so many but nonetheless a casualty of the war based on Lies.

5. Studies have shown

reefer to be the most effective remedies with the fewest side effects for PTSD. There's no profit in it that the pharmaceutical lobby can use to effect legislation/legislators. Healthcare for profit is immoral, especially with the most corrupt government since Caligula.
