.... Give my head a shake?

You know nothing about my current situation. Nice of you to assume though.
As always.



cheers.


Here's some info for you ..... Just for you.

If you are sick. You go to the doctor. If you sit there and let him tell you how it is supposed to go....that's you. You should know better but seem not to. Why is that odd?
Are you not actually sick and have issues lying to your doctor about why you want to get high?
Please. Figure out another way to ask if this is your situation. tell them you want it for mental health. Case closed.

I think you are right. I read part of it and it sounds fairly cool allowing the people to vote instead of politicians deciding sounds like a nice way for legalization. Too bad this couldn't happen in Canada. Vote fuck yeah oh ballot legal cannabis in Canada.

yeah, it's a Michigan thing. If Canada legalizes....well, you'd think we would follow suit. But our GOV already signed a law that puts manufacture of our meds in Canadian hands if the feds reschedule marijuana to a schedule 2.....why we would outsource our growing....well that's just a side effect of having a republican governor....politics - citizens hate it regardless of nationality or political structure.

What ya mean put the manufacturing of Americas meds in Canadian hands? Could you please elaborate.... I'm super curious. If this is true maybe LP's knew something we didn't. Can you imagine more poor patients being forced to take schwag as supposide medicine from the likes of tweed or tilhay. I hope this is not true or it won't matter how much us Canadian patients try to boycot these LP ass clowns.


Peace
