Comments on: Proposed Laws http://georgianorml.org The Georgia Chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws Thu, 22 Sep 2011 23:29:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: jimbo http://georgianorml.org/proposed-medical-marijuana-law/comment-page-1/#comment-1186 jimbo Wed, 31 Aug 2011 15:56:35 +0000 http://georgianorml.org/?page_id=98#comment-1186 Ok, I used to be a moderator for 420 magazine and my primary gole was to bring awareness to people about legalization and to let the unaware know that their IS hope for cannabis users, medical & recreational alike! I read an artical in the High Times website once and it truly hit a nerve with me, I cant remember the writers name but, he said it best, when he posed the qusetion & the answer at the same time; "why is marijuana still illegal? BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T ASK FOR IT TO BE LEGAL, PERIOD!" He was exactly right on the money because the people of Georgia (and other states) have been kept under such a tight militant thumb that they are truly terrified of law enforcment and their "throw your ass in prison" attitude towards the people they are supposed to "protect & serve" instead they overfill our prisons with nonviolent people who were doing little more than posessing plant matter that has NO track record of causing death to ANYONE! EVER! Do'nt believe me? Look it up! Now that being said, here is what we do... Go in to the activest portion of this site, find your state rep's and send in that letter! Then talk to EVERYONE you know and get them to do the same...I don't mean just a couple of people, I mean EVERYONE! Because this is EVERYONE'S problem. I would highly recomend to not only send the prewritten request for legalization but, write to them in your own words how you feel as well as any horror stories you may have as you might just strike a nerve. One thing I find with the people I talk to about this is that they think they will be investigated if they send a letter like this but, they need to know that they are well within their constitutional rights to express concerns of ANY kind to their rep's as well as it is unlawful for them to retaliate against your freedom of speach in any way! The thing I like to express to people is that they sould'nt complain if they are'nt willing to help change the current situation...this "sit back and let the other guy do everything" aint gonna' fly! Just think about it, if EVERY canna user, I mean EVERY SINGLE one of us in Georgia, or the whole country for that matter, would just make an effort to do something about our current lawmakers decisions they would have no choice but to do as they are told, or be voted out...remember, they work for us and we don't do dictatorship in the USA!

I have severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, Raynaud's Syndrome, OsteoArthritis, Fatigue, and they think I have MS also. I have been on pain pills for the last couple years and they don't help much. Marijuana did help me get thur the day without severe pain, but it is illegal so I am scared to get or keep it. I don't want to go to jail. I would sign anything to pass this law in Georgia and pay a yearly fee to get a medical card to keep from going to jail and have relief from pain without getting hooked on pills. I smoked marijuana in my youth and know for a fact it is not addictive. I quit when I had my children and didn't smoke but a couple times after I started having so much pain.

This would be a huge benefit to all parties involved. Make sure that it is decriminalized first. This would be a huge benefit to all parties involved.

First if Cannabis is of medical value in any sort of form, it should be moved to Schedule II. Second, nothing is done about legal supplies of cannabis. To see a comprehensive bill that covers all the bases, look at http://www.alternatethoughts.com/Georgia_MJ_bill.pdf Now that's what we need in Georgia.... Harry Both bills are very lacking.

I have several people up here in Lumpkin and Dawson that are willing to go with my to a meeting with our new guy, Tom Graves. I have meet him several times in the last few months very casually, so I am hoping it will not be to hard to get in to talk business with him. I will look towards a meeting prior to our next meeting at Mellow Mushroom, but I highly doubt that will happen. I have been talking for years to local Lumpkin politician, many sympathize but will not support it in public. I have recently found several judges and lawyers that are willing to atleast have a rational discussion about re-legalization. I am also working on finding a location to have a few speakers come to talk to some of these Bible belt neighbors of mine. Would love to have Norml, L.E.A.P. and several other groups involved. I really want to do this in a church environment. I am a christian and I just don't understand why other christians would want to continue prohibition. WWJD? I am so proud to be part of this movement. Lets do it! Talk to everyone!! Let me know if I can help with anything else. See you on July 31st!! Chris, I am on the 9th district.
