The day after the election

5/3/2011

I have spent much of the last few weeks asking, informing and in some cases, begging people to vote. This election was HUGE for the cannabis community. A Conservative majority means mandatory minimums and super prisons -  all part of the Conservatives tough on crime legislation.
 I woke up today in disbelief! Last night Canadians elected the Cons to run our country.  This means that within 100 days, our government will pass its outstanding crime bills. This has put the cannabis community into a tailspin. Where do we stand? What will we do? Will the MMAR program be abolished by the Cons?.. and if so, when? These are questions I have been asked all day today. I don't have the answers to these questions.... I don't think anybody does at this point in time but the threat is REAL! Mandatory minimums WILL happen! 
   This makes me think of one person in particular. I recently met a woman that was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma. Her doctor told her that her only option was to have a large piece of  skin on her face removed. She read about using hemp oil as a cure and decided she was going to try cannabis as medicine. Never having used cannabis before, she is not licensed and was not even aware of the program until we spoke. Will she go to a new super prison for trying to cure her cancer? Sadly, she may. If she is caught using a concentrate she will face  12-18 months in jail for it. Her husband will lose a wife and her children, a mother  for up to  18 months. For others, they may not have that long to live. Could you imagine spending the rest of your life in jail for trying to prolong your life??? That's crazy talk!

   I guess all I can really say right now is I will not live in fear! I will not stop eating cannabis! I will not stop medicating with concentrates! THESE ARE MY MEDS!!!!!!!! Cannabis saved me and I just can't turn my back on that! :) 
 

This is me voting yesterday  ***PLEASE NOTE*** I meant to say I got in big trouble for recording this NOT voting this, lol. It was a crazy morning...as you can see here

As if this happened to you too Amy!? Lol I posted a pick of the "no media devices beyond this point" sign because I tried to video tape from outside the doors on a technicality too and they wouldn't let me either. My friend was even the guy working the security, no dice though, what are they called the "scrutineer's" (the people who work the polls), they were the one's that made me delete my video off the phone. Good on you for getting the coverage, haha so sweet!
