An Absurd Waste Of Taxpayer Funding

[Turfgrass]

Here?s the scenario. You have a relative, perhaps your father or mother, who is dying of cancer. The cancer is spreading ? and so is the pain. Your relative has just a few weeks left. There are two ways the excruciating pain can be handled. Well, three ? if you count putting a pillow over their face. You can drug them into a coma, or you can give them marijuana. There is no doubt that marijuana will, in situations like this, allow the patient to remain conscious and relatively comfortable during those final weeks. This means they can receive visitors from loved ones and talk over memories, dreams and plans.

Many state and local governments around the country have already legalized marijuana for medical uses. Others are exploring the idea. Now here comes the Republican Party. Believe it or not, Republicans in the congress are working right now to divert some taxpayer dollars to the cause of fighting these medical marijuana initiatives. They want the taxpayers to fund advertising against medical marijuana.

If you really want to see how ridiculous federal funding is .. consider this. The Imperial Federal Government of the United States considers marijuana to be as dangerous and destructive as heroin.

They should just ban reguler smoking. It kills or leads to more deaths in our country then auto accedents. By the way auto accedents killed about 47000 of us last year. Iraq war killed 161 so far. They will talk out of both side there mouths on smoking. Reason is they need the billions raised from the tax on cig's to run many programs. So they say stop spoking. But they really mean please more start.
