Marijuana and the laws
It’s like a De Javou! Back in 1983 twenty years ago I did a research
paper for my English 102 Course. My
topic was “Marijuana should be discriminated”.
Who would have thought twenty years later I be writing about the same
topic, but with one twist. This time
I want my readers to be the judge and decide for themselves who should decide
for Marijuana to be illegal for people with different culture or a doctor or
shaman prescribe a joint or two to sick and dying patient?
It is written in our constitution, our freedom and government should not
interfere with our religion or our way of living so long as it isn’t harming
others? These are some of the
questions that I like to click in my readers’ minds.
The history of Marijuana goes back to
6 or 7 century B.C. Assyrians used
the hemp as incense and Chinese Taoist used it to achieve immortality in first
century. Even the Bible mentions the
incense and the smoke when communicating with God.
There are people that believe in this teaching of Bible.
The Coptic Church believes “ with offering of devotion, ships from the
isles will meet to pour the wealth of the nations and bring tribute to his
feet.” They believe it is their
daily obligations to burn hemps in to fire and hold hands and pray to God and
Christ. The Coptic Church preaches
that marijuana is a herb created by God from the start of the world.
It is said to be the Weed of Wisdom, Angle’s Food, The Tree of life,
and even the “Wicked Old Ganja Tree”. They
believe God created marijuana just like any other herb for fire sacrifice during
ceremonies so every one can inhale it. It
is interesting enough to mention that Coptic Church doesn’t support any
political or commercial organizations or follow any pagan religion.
They insist that political organizations are the reason people are
separated from their God. Because of
this reason the church and the church followers are being harass and put in
prison. The question that raises
does government has the right to do what they are doing?
It is against our constitution rights.
Our Fist Amendment says:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise there of, or abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition
the government for a redress of grievance.”
Since the fight against legalization of marijuana is unwinable battle for
our generation, we can only hope the science and technology catch up with
knowledge that some patients with chronic pains or diagnosis with illness that
has no cure knows already. Due to the work of law enforcement and political
positions, it is very hard for the scientist to get permission from Food and
Drug Administration to do studies on marijuana on human being. There are two
studies right now being conducted by University of San Deigo medical school on
marijuana and HIV patients. At least two is better than none and starting with
HIV patients is better than nothing, mean while other patients will go to prison
for what they know is good for them. There are eight states that are legal to
use marijuana for medical purpose, but the growers go to jail. How can sick
people grow marijuana by themselves? Federal and state laws make it so difficult
that it is impossible to win.
On the other hand, there are organizations and people that are risking
their freedom to fight for what they believe. One of these organizations is
American Alliance for Medical Cannabis or AAMC.
Chris Kenoyer is the Director of Florida Chapter for AAMC.
As the director of AAMC he has set a web site www.onlinepot.org,
which is an excellent site to go and find out what, are the legal issues
regarding marijuana and medical policies in each states.
What each activist or believer to this issue should do. I had an
opportunity to talk to director Kenoyer and ask him about the Mission Statement
and their goals. He said: “ …The
primary mission of AAMC is patient advocacy, patient rights and support.
Additional aspects of AAMC mission include clinical research and
educating decision makers”. “ AAMC Activities to meet our mission include:
Ongoing discussions with community leaders and government representatives
to promote safe access to medicine while limiting diversion, creation and
distribution of education materials, provision of an internet website, planning
and conducting medical marijuana schools for the general public, law
enforcements, caregivers, health professionals and patients, Identifications of
medical, social, and legal resources for patients and caregivers, assistance to
hospice facilities and other patients facilities and much more.”
The sense I got from talking to Director Kenoyer was all he cared was
making sure who ever is in pain has right to choice the best way to feel better.
At the conclusion, I like to mention we shouldn’t forget what our
founding fathers wanted us to have. They
wanted us to have our freedom to choice and have the right to practice whatever
religion we decide to have without being scared of the government.
Marijuana is an herb that is being used by the drug czars and politicians
to make money and not what God intended to be.
Studies show that smoking marijuana is less harmful than cigarette.
It is not addictive like alcohol and it is actually relaxes the people.
Just like any drug or alcohol, children should not use it, or adult
operate machinery. If we as a
society could understand marijuana the way God intended us to use it, may be our
prison system wouldn’t be full and there wouldn’t be as much crimes.
Finally, yet importantly, I have to mention that last year state of
Washington passed the medical marijuana law and it is the first year that state
is out of deficit. That should be
something to reconsider. May be some
day people can live with a government that can trust its citizens to make their
own mind about their religion, medicine and even the way they want to have fun.
