You hit the nail on the head with the pharma comment..they are so powerful and contibute huge amounts of cash to fund anything that keeps us hooked on their ineffective and expensive drugs. I was diagnosed with anxiety and ADHD and the meds they had me on made me extremely dizzy and cost $600 per month. I have started a small closet grow to combat my mental stress issues and marijuana is like a miracle drug for me. It really eliminates my ADHD symptoms, allowing me to fully concentrate.
I love my country, but not the political system that pushes alcohol and tobacco. So much misinformation is spread and if you try to promote the medical usage you are labeled a "stoner". I hope we get Obama in there to try to make some changes in our antiquated laws, but I am a pessimist because I realize how difficult to dislodge the pharma lobbiests and their unending cash flow. jusbrowsin
