Ads for Medical Marijuana on TV

Concord, NH -- The campaign in favor of letting the chronically and terminally ill legally use marijuana hit the airwaves Thursday. A 30-second commercial promoting the legislation and urging Gov. John Lynch to support it began on WMUR-TV and on Comcast cable stations.The ad features Sandy Drew, of Allenstown, a retired nurse diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Drew, 55, was a registered nurse at Concord Hospital until her retirement in 2001.
"We think this is the right time to be delivering this message directly to Governor Lynch that this would offer relief of suffering to many people in this state," said Matt Simon, executive director of the New Hampshire Coalition for Common Sense Marijuana Policy."The governor needs to hear stories like Sandy's and many others. They sell the need for this law a lot better than I ever could."The ad will be broadcast for at least the next week, Simon said.Scott Turner, 46, of Nashua, came to the Statehouse on Thursday to lend his support.A retired retail manager, Turner said he suffers from degenerative disc and joint disease and started using marijuana more than 20 years ago.The pain became more constant and chronic since his retirement six years ago.Turner said he smokes marijuana two or three times a day when he's able to get it and can afford it.Using marijuana lets him significantly cut back on the prescription pain medication he's taken for years."It's been the only way I've been able to get out of the house and occasionally do things," Turner said during an interview."The morphine and the Percocet don't provide enough relief."Tony Woody, of Exeter, joined the medical marijuana campaign in recent days.A retired Navy flight engineer, Woody said he has degenerative disc disease throughout his spine after riding in devices that are designed to simulate the severe gravitational forces fighter pilots face while in combat or after having to eject from an aircraft.Woody said he's tried marijuana only once for pain many years ago and found it helped reduce searing pain around his muscles."This causes a different type of pain that literally feels my entire body is being crushed on the inside," said Woody, who gets deep tissue massage, chiropractic and acupuncture treatments every week.Woody said he won't use marijuana for fear of risking his military pension and veterans disability income."If this simple plant can improve my quality of life, how can it be a crime for a person like me to use it?" Woody asked.The state Senate approved the bill Wednesday. The House of Representatives already has endorsed its own version.Lynch has said he has concerns about the logistics of making a drug illegal under federal law accessible to patients and their designated caregivers.Attorney General Kelly Ayotte as well as nine of the state's 10 county attorneys and the state lobby of local police chiefs all vigorously oppose the bill.At no point has Lynch said whether he'd veto such a bill.Prime authors of the bill said they would encourage the House to embrace the Senate's plan so the bill can eventually be sent on to Lynch's desk.There are 13 states, including Maine and Vermont, where it's legal for patients to get marijuana for medical use.

No Final Vote on Medicinal Marijuana in NH
May 6, 2009 CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Facing opposition from the governor, New Hampshire lawmakers will keep working on a bill to legalize marijuana use by residents with crippling ailments.Both the House and Senate have passed bills that would allow severely ill patients to grow and possess small amounts of the drug. The House voted Wednesday to have lawmakers work on a compromise rather than accept the Senate's minor changes and send the bill to the governor's desk.Gov. John Lynch says he has serious concerns with the cultivation and distribution provisions of the bills.Both versions would require doctors to certify a patient has a debilitating medical condition and would benefit from the therapeutic or palliative benefit from using marijuana.Copyright 2009 The Associated Presshttp://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=10316668

LEAP on the HillStories from the week of April 17, 2009Make Hay While the Sun Shines: Congress was on its second week of ‘working in district’ also known as Easter recess. Staffers wear jeans and are often open for pop-up* meetings. Though I made no appointments and only spent 3 days on the Hill, I made 27 presentations…by just walking in and asking if the aide were available for a few minutes.· Pop-up = ohne TerminRoad Trip! You may have read how President Obama likes to get away from the White House. As I have said before, Washington’s environment is unique and not always pleasant. Getting out of town is nice/important. Spending time with regular folks and chatting is a welcome change. This week I was able to get out of town on two road trips. I spoke Tuesday evening to a group of students at Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania. On Friday I traveled to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where on Saturday I was the keynote speaker at the state ACLU conference. Pick your poison: An R staffer did not like illegal entry of people into the country and his office is opposed to ending prohibition. Drawing on govt employees as sources, I showed him that if we ended drug prohibition, Customs and Border Patrol agents would be able to effectively stop illegal entry. A two minute follow-up conversation went to 15, as the aide weighed the options. I wish I had a foto of the aide’s face and a recording of his voice showing the anguish. It was priceless.Howard Officer Howard 'Cowboy' Wooldridge (retired)Education Specialist, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition www.CopsSayLegalizeDrugs.comWashington, DCHablo espanol, je parle francais, Deutsch auchHoward J.

Just my 2 cents
I am always amazed when I see a large group of intelligent, thought provoking, rational people who aren't afraid to question eachother and themselves, without anger or fear, in following (call it what you will) the "spirit of truth". It is comforting to see that more and more people seem to be following their own "spiritual paths" and are throwing off that cloak of fear and anger to come together for the greater good for EVERYONE, not just the select few. I have never understood how everyone got so twisted up about what the holy spirit really is. Look inside yourself; reflect and follow the golden rules. There are many who would say that our natural way is that of competition and collecting the best for yourself but I humbly disagree. If a person tells me they can honestly look into themselves, into their (call it what you will) soul and not see fundamental goodness and a desire for fairness then they have become corrupted and they are not seeing their true soul. There is a book by Richard Bach called "One". There is a scene where he and his wife find a glowing golden parchment with all the spiritual truths written in it. Richard wanted to give the book to the world but the hermit who was there to see over the book told him to give these words to the world is to create the next great religion. Richards wife sees history unwritten unfolding before her with the wars against those who do not believe in this religion and she shivers. The hermit attempts to light the parchment in order to warm her but Richard stops him at first. The hermits response: The truth does not burn, only pages can. Blessed be.

I had to think because we had a big video store when Wall Street was released. I can't remember ever watching it. I watched most movies but that one just didn't interest me. I thought Fatal Attraction was a really good movie. Fatal Attraction was a big renter but I don't think Wall Street was.

I like Michael Douglas. He's a really good actor. I think we are finally hitting a point where more people will speak out. Fear of speaking out is slowly going away.Today is the Global Marijuana March but I haven't found any articles on the March so far. Maybe the Swine Flu will keep the numbers down but maybe not.

Michael Douglas Calls for Marijuana Legalization
Washington, May 2 : Hollywood actor Michael Douglas has urged American government to legalize the use of marijuana.Michael is of the opinion that there would be no violence if countrymen can smoke freely, unlike the violence incited by Prohibition.The 64-year-old also insists that making cannabis legal would boost America's flagging economy and make the world more peaceful."It's an interesting issue with all of these troubles that are going on... and trying to resolve things. It's an interesting thing that's being raised again," Contactmusic quoted Michael, as saying."I'm questioning it. We're trying to get a lot of money for health and education and I'm wondering... you look at these gangs, and I look back at Prohibition. When we didn't allow alcohol, what did we have? We had gangs. We had big gangs. It's something that needs to be discussed a little more. It's an economic issue and a violence issue," Michael added. --- ANICopyright: 2008 Newkeraka.comhttp://www.newkerala.com/nkfullnews-1-31618.html

Y'sh'va is very good, I think that leaves the matter as is best up to the reader to determine how to pronounce the unspecified internal vowel. So often even written Hebrew includes the Niqqud that didn't exist until the Middle Ages.More importantly from my perspective is that the discovered pronunciation opened me up to the fuller understanding of Kashmir Shaivism. I believe that this is an origin religion and it has existed in some form wherever cannabis has gone. Within cannabis is a holy spirit which brings truth, and cannabis originated in the Himalayas from where it was brought down to mankind.She is Kali, and the patriarchy has sought to keep Her suppressed for thousands of years.

greetings all
Just passing through and saw a conversation going on that looked like I might say a word.I've been doing a bit more with homeopathy lately and it is quite powerful technology. Hydrogen cleared away a lot and then I took Cactus. It's kind of like a psychedelic, except it transforms your awareness of reality in ways that make reality itself seem to alter -- at least when I use it with cannabis to help me remodel my perspective as I always do.(Side note, if you invite Kali to manifest, and She does, something very interesting may happen, but there's not much you can do but surrender at that point.)

Yod-Shin-Vav-Ayen should in my opinion be pronounced Y'Shiva, though Y'Shua is possible as well. Also, without the apostrophe it might not be made clear that the Yod is an abbreviation for Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh.Just my take.

Upon a couple of tries with mushrooms and LDS, I had a reoccurring theme, what is my name? Not the one given to me by my parents on this Earth, but my souls heavenly name, what is the one Yashua will call? I see your point in calling the "father" by HIS right name. I appreciate your ability to boil down the truth. It is funny how the truth is something all will know when they hear it no matter the scribe!!!!

"Some say that Yashua -during his '12 year mysterious whereabouts' was schooled by Bhudda, and that Yashua's teachings are full of Bhuddist philosophy"That should be BUDDHISTS, not 'Buddha' sorry, I was thinking of something else.

Comment #16 posted by museman on May 01, 2009 at 13:35:29 PT
interesting...
I personally think BM's "Religilous" was a masterpiece.Every point he made was absolutely valid. The fact that he was honest about his own 'Not knowing' (agnosticism) and wasn't out to replace one set of crap lies with another (like 'zeitgeist' and its 'addendum') made his delivery that much more potent. Bill is obviously, in essence, an honest man, who honors and believes in truth.Some say that Yashua -during his '12 year mysterious whereabouts' was schooled by Bhudda, and that Yashua's teachings are full of Bhuddist philosophy.There is a ficticious movie out now -for about a year- called "The Man From Earth." I highly recommend it for all thinking people. It will stimulate your mind.GCW -when I and my wife lived in a hand-made T-pee (lodge) on an old california mining claim we read the entire Urantia book one winter, all 4,000 + pages.I valued that book for years, but there have been other books, like "The Keys of Enoch" which I highly recommend to you GCW, because it sits rather well like a capstone on top of the Urantia.And that leads me to this; Sams #11"The only thing I really don't like about religion is the notion of "gospel" or the "gospel truth", implying that everything we need to live is in one book and everyone must follow that book 100%."(first of all -so there is no mistake, I agree)This is a core issue, one that defines the stark difference between "religion" and Spirituality. The list of the Bhuddist aspects , as FoM observed, is a 'way of life' which is Spirituality. Spirituality is not knowledge, that can be stored in some kind of stasis, and activated with some kind of magic ritual on specific days, in specified places. ("He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.." -Jethro Tull).The "book" is the entire basis for all the trumped up fake authority it the world, but the "book" is also a means for some sincere folk throughout time to leave some vestiges of their disovery and wisdom for future generations in the hopes that they would go further than they.Like anything else come into the world that has potential to liberate the bound ignorance of man, the "book" was commandeered by the rulers, and altered to fit their agenda of global conquest and control. Religion is a tool of 'demonic' spirit, and the irony of the concept of the 'anti-christ' and its actual existence in the form of the christian church does not escape me at all.No "book" of any kind should be basis for formulating a common perspective of reality, that should be based on living, experiential interaction.Information is not "Law". It is mere information. The 'qualifications' of 'authority' in this false realm are all based on these same types of presumptions. To point to an inert, dead, non-expanding record of past attempts to decypher reality as some kind of 'absolute definition of reality' is where the powers step in to assert their control. And with this they deliberately perpetuate a kind of spiritual stasis, a 'fake spirituality' called Religion.Each and every one of us sees the world around us in slightly unique and sometimes profoundly unique ways, but "For every eye to see, there is another way to see 'God.'" For any one, or group of us to presume to see better or more than anyone else of 'god' is as far from the original intention of truth and enlightenment as you can get.And in seeming contrast -when mistakenly associated with 'religion'- the parable of Yashua speaking of 'judgement' and 'splinters in the eye' is speaking directly to this situation. Which is illustrates why I am also a follower of Yashua.And I am being patient with the continued use of such terms as 'jesus' and 'god' because I understand what it takes to retool ones perspective on things that have been so ingrained in the society and common useage for many generations.In rising up to our full spiritual stature as sovereign beings in a gifted Universe, we come to realize that just like the truth; "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you" and "Judge not, lest you be judged" we must allow for, be tolerant of, and recognize the beauty in the difference. We are like the rainbow, of many colors, each one unique and beautiful in its own way, but when they all get together it is a marvel gone greatly unappreciated in the modern media world that has taken color and developed glitz and hype, losing the beauty in the uniqueness of nature, and replacing it with a bunch of cloned copies somehow equated with more 'value.'There is a part of this 'rising up' that involves standing up against false power, false authority, etc. The aspects of the religion and churches (dogma) that tells you to bow down without question, is just a lie.And anyone who thinks that Yashua's sacrifice (regardless of ones personal religious, or 'book' related conclusions) was not an act of defiance and liberty, better go back and read the 'book.'thanksLEGALIZE FREEDOM

The older I get the more I have come to the conclusion that there isn't one religion that is supreme over other religions. I believe all religions have a basis in truth but not total truth. If one religion had the answer then we would tend to exhault that religion rather then the Creator of the Universe.PS: I don't mean to get too religious in my discussions but I wanted to share why I feel like I do.

They're mistaken, I think the "Rapture" is when we take away all their corn subsidies!The only thing I really don't like about religion is the notion of "gospel" or the "gospel truth", implying that everything we need to live is in one book and everyone must follow that book 100%.I prefer my own hybrid spriritual/philosophical beliefs, which are a mix of Pagan/Buddhist/Rastafarian beliefs and practices.

Jesus in Urantia
Jesus in Urantia spoke of the good and bad points of many many religions. He acknowledged good in all... It's not the good though that makes the difference. The important part is to eliminate the bad. To eliminate the bad, eliminate oranized churches and replace them with Jesus Christ and His "spirit of truth."
"Which one would Jesus approve of?"Jesus does not ask Us today to follow Christians.He asks Us to follow Him. And that is something different.I follow Him.
That "spirit of truth" is right up there with oxygen.

If you have ever read the Bible and particularily the Book of Revelation it sets up hate against those who are not Christians. Most evangelicals are hoping and praying for what they feel will happen and that is called the Rapture. The Rapture won't happen if we are living in Peace with other religions and our neighbors. That's why extreme religious beliefs can be so dangerous.

I like Bill Maher's take on religion. I will probably buy his movie at some point. He was Catholic and I was Catholic. We learned a lot from the Catholic Church. Bill Maher said when he hit the age of reason he walked away from the Church. That's not what the Church meant by the age of reason but I laughed when he said it. We learned to question everything and find our own way. Looking inside our own soul is much harder then jumping on board a denomination. Religions cause war and spiritual people help stop wars. Which one would Jesus approve of? I know. I know you know too.

Dalai Lama is spot-on, that is the one thing that we lack in the USA compared to Canada and Europe. He recently even pointed out that we are more like China than other countries.
