I can't wait till I retire so I can get back to business as usual, but in the meantime, I bet I"m in better shape than a lot of people in their 20's who never smoked a dang thing. Not to brag, but I have a resting pulse rate of 60, take no prescription drugs, don't wear glasses and I haven't had a cold in three years. Can you snowboard a giant half-pipe? I can! so tell me again how harmful marijuana is to my health? Shit, I smoked for 35 years before my employer went to random testing.

I try to do the best I can, as far as keeping in touch with my state legislators. I wish i could do more. Maybe one day I could be appointed to drug czar and fix the problem from the inside. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.... Thank you for your wonderful work. I try to do the best I can, as far as keeping in touch with my state legislators. I wish i could do more.

The endocannabinoid system literally regulates everything in our bodies in that it is an all pervasive regulator of biochemical balance. We all suffer from the imbalance of aging. Cannabis is an anti-aging drug with benefits for all age-related illnesses including autoimmune, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases as well as cancers. The harm done to health by prohibition far out ways the relatively minor harms of cannabis consumption. It's about time that governmental policies had a scientific foundation instead of ones based on the paranoiac delusions of fear mongering prohibitionists who are in bed with the pharmaceutical companies.
