People United for Medical Marijuana of Florida has begun an effort to have medical marijuana placed on the November 2010 Ballot so that we can finally share in the wonders of medical grade marijuana just like my friends in California have for so long now. Having just returned from the bountiful ganja fields of Jamaica to to the wastelands of Central Florida and the Mexican brown schwag so popular here it’s hard not to want to help these guys get the Florida Constitution changed so I can get a prescription for medical marijuana finally.
It would be such a sweet thing to me to get a prescription for marijuana after so many years arguing with everyone from my mom to my judges and probation officers that I needed it. Ganja is my “mentalcation” and it eases the stress and pains of everyday life for me. I enjoy puffing one for just about any reason but it’s the most fun before and after eating food and first thing in the morning. I like to wake and bake for a fresh start each day
I’m doing my part online and offline to collect signatures of registered Florida Voters for this ballot initiative and I want my friends in Florida to do the same. Become a volunteer so we can legally smoke weed in Florida in 2011.
We have collected 33,156 signatures and $9,485 in donations.
We are collecting signatures to change Florida’s constitution. Download and sign this petition to do your part. Register Now to get on our email list and receive automatic updates. Donate online with a credit card by clicking here. Become a member, find out about getting a t-shirt and stickers by visiting our membership page.
We are looking for 700 people around the state that can commit to 40 volunteer hours over the next 6 months. They are known as the PUFMM Elite and will get special privilages throughout the campaign. These people will collect 1,000 signatures each and $420 in donations before February 1, 2010. This will provide us with exactly what we need to get medical marijuana on the 2010 ballot. We do not have to wait until 2012 if YOU join this group today!
They found water on the moon but people right here on earth can’t get clean water to drink or enough food to eat. I’m sitting here watching CNN and they jut had a story about NASA finding water on the moon. They claim it only cost 79 million dollars to slam a device into the face of the Moon which they can test all the way back here on earth that tells them there is water on the Moon and they think it was a pretty good deal for the price. The idea being that if we had to carry less stuff from Earth we can possibly travel farther into space using resources like water and other minerals found on the Moon. No, they are not planning to bottle moon water. At least not yet they aren’t.
As soon as the story was over they cut to commercial and the last spot before they cut back to news is for their new program CNN Heroes and the hero spotlighted was a woman who runs Project Clean Water in Africa which obviously deals with the lack of clean drinking water that plagues so many people in the world. I love irony and I found myself laughing out loud at how ridiculous it was they had these stories so close together. I wonder what the lady from Project Clean Water would do with $79,000,000?
In America my mother has free water service in her Florida home that allows us to use as much as we want whenever we want but in Haiti they drink water that is contaminated by garbage and pollution. In China it has gotten to be so bad that people in the most populous nation on Earth are getting cancer and disease from the contaminants dumped in their drinking water sources and once again children are suffering the most. Young Chinese children work in the electronics reclaim industry processing heavy metals and industrial waste that often ends up in the drinking water.
On one hand if you work for NASA or any of the billionaire contractors they pay with our tax dollars you might argue it was money well spent. You might even ask your friends over at CNN to do a cute news story that shines a positive light on NASA or maybe you’ll win an award from the NY Times for the Aries rocket that boosts your image and makes Americans feel better about the billions we spend on space travel each year.
On the other hand if you live in Africa, Haiti, China or any other place on Earth where you have a hard time finding clean drinking water you may think spending 79 million just to find out if there is water on the Moon is a waste. You might also disagree with spending so much in outer space when we have so many problems right here on Earth.
My questions to you is, what do you think? Should we bother with travel to the Moon when people on Earth can’t get enough food and water?
I feel sick. I think I need some ganja to heal my pains. I may have to move to California to do so but I can finally smoke herb in America and not face federal prosecution for it. It’s a watershed moment in the fight to legalize marijuana and I for one and excited for the future when we can toke on the White House lawn!!
in reference to:
“Thirteen years after California voters made the Golden State the first in the nation to legalize medical marijuana, the country’s top law enforcement official told U.S. drug agents to stop raiding medical marijuana gardens and busting patients who have medical prescriptions for pot.In a sweeping directive, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told federal authorities it’s not a wise use of their time to go after people who use or provide medical marijuana in strict compliance with state law. Since California passed the groundbreaking Proposition 215 in 1996, 13 other states have passed similar laws.” - California medical pot community celebrates move to back off federal enforcement – San Jose Mercury News (view on Google Sidewiki)
