7. I truly don't understand
Sat May 5, 2012, 12:08 PM

I understand rules but they are too often viewed through a very tiny window. You have to have tolerances.

The Democratic Party in Colorado is backing the Legalize Marijuana Prop. Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, has been openly critical of Obama for the senseless and costly raids on dispensaries.

I've tried but can't get Medical Marijuana. One of the 'issues' I deal with is chronic anxiety. Chronic Anxiety isn't covered but a sore neck is. I'd love to take a few hits off a bowl than pop a bunch of Xanax. I'm addicted to Xanax and the withdrawal effects start kicking in every day around mid-noon. I feel like a 'junkie' when this happens. I'd love to get of Xanax and use a herbal alternative. Maybe it wouldn't work but I want to try.

So, I get why someone who has been active in this, the Mental Health Support Group, would place the single issue of legalized marijuana so importantly. I don't get why a bunch of bored "Hall Monitors" get some perverse enjoyment in having someone banned without fully understanding the reasons for the original discussion. It all gets back to having tolerance. Understanding. Especially when it come to Mental Health issues.
