Medical Chemicals

I want to talk about pharmaceutical side effects today and ask the question…”Why are the side effects of some medications worse than the illnesses their prescribed for”?

For example: Zoloft (Sertraline) Used to treat depression along with other mental disorders. The basic side effects are regular in nature like, nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and loss of appetite etc.  Other effects, that you are urged to report immediately...  are basically the same as, the symptoms  the medicine is supposed to treat, only WORSE. (See above link)

My next question is…”Why are we taking these medical chemicals, when a good  cannabis sativa works just fine”?

Sativa benefits include; treating psychological problems, like depression and PTSD. Sativas encourage activity and are more energizing, uplifting and thought provoking. It produces a positive cerebral effect while relieving headaches, migraines, and  pain. It also relaxes muscles.

Indicas on the other hand are very calming and soothing. They are good for night-use, to help one sleep. Indicas also treat chronic pain, anxiety and muscle spasms. All of these without harmful side effects.

Sativa or indica? These two decisions seem quite obvious. No harmful side effects from either one. It’s a no-brainer right? Not if you live in a state that does not have legal “Medical Marijuana”.  Purchasing or growing cannabis in an illegal state can get you fined, jail time or even prison. Medical marijuana vs man made chemicals. It’s a cause worth fighting for.  

For more information see….indica verses sativa

Until Next Time....

Military and Marijuana

Something the military men and women have longed for is now in the works after a bill passed the senate on Thursday May 19, 2016 (finally).

This will allow VA. physicians to recommend cannabis to vets as a treatment option but only in states where medical marijuana is legal.   Senate vote on MMJ for vets.   

The Marijuana Revolution is a "one-step" at a time, type of venture.  It's happening but at a snails pace. I say "slow and steady" gets the job done.

Until Next Time....

I wonder sometimes....

I wonder sometimes, why I keep forgetting things. Then I remember it's the way your body is supposed to act as you get older.  This idea is like, something or someone is forcing us to believe that.  

We've all heard it for years; their just senile or their in their second childhood now.  Like their trying to get us to accept it and to be that way.  

I actually feel 25 years old in my head and thoughts but feel like a 25 year old in the body of a 54 year old woman who aches like (I imagine) a 70 year old women would ache. Tell me why do I live in all this "age confusion"?  I always imagined a fellow would feel the age they are. 

Maybe all this is just me. Maybe I have a strange mental disorder. Maybe I'm just *high* and having a "Good Buzz".

Does anyone else feel one age and be another?

By The Way

This past week has been thrilling with the 420 holiday on the calendar. Thrilling only because I watch people in legal states having a blast. There's nothing going on here in TN. but I'm sure there are many wishes for parties that should have been. Thus another reason to move to WA. state. True meaning of 420.

Medical Benefits of Medical Marijuana

It's now more important than ever for states to legalize medical marijuana (MMJ). An amendment passed by the Senate has made MMJ legal for vets with PTSD but only in states where MMJ is legal. Therefore it's critical the last 26 states get on board to help ALL veterans. It's the least we can do for all their service. Vets get MMJ

This coming trip will be my first ride on an airplane and to be perfectly honest I'm scared to death. 
I'm going to purchase a video camera and record the whole thing. I really hope I don't "spazz" Out" but if I do....you'll be the first to see it.  

3 Main Goals of This Trip

1. Get to Longview, WA.

2. Have as much fun as possible  

3. Not go to jail in the process

If we can follow these two rules (#2 and #3) We may actually get there.

But until then we have to wait patiently for the 1st payment to get here. Then we'll know what schedule to take. We have two-ways of doing this. The short plan: Hefty check--and we leave within two-three weeks. The long plan: a small check--and we save for several months and leave in October or November. It's getting closer to the day we know about the check. I can't wait !!!

Until next time....

Why is it.....

 
people still think that cannabis gives children brain damage?  I want to know.....who's volunteering their children for this study? What horseshit! Or hogwash, for those of you that don't like profanity.  Seriously though, why are people still thinking this today?  Its like a whole generation or two of these people are still believing the old 'Nixon files', that said marijuana kills brain cells. Which in fact, that has now been proven totally opposite. Marijuana regrows brain cells

As for Tennessee....pertaining to legalization we are far behind all the other states. These other states are voting to make cannabis medically legal or full-blown legal.  Meanwhile, were still twiddling-our-thumbs over CBD oil. (the non psychoactive ingredient in hemp). CBD oil treats and cures many things. Including seizures in children.  It's legal here in Tennessee but there's nowhere to buy it unless you cross state lines and bring some back. Which is a felony. So basically were left with nothing.  

This is me and Deano at a "Medical Marijuana Rally" in Johnson City

 

                                                              
As far as the trip goes; it's all about the planning. This trip is going to be a big move and its going to cost a-bit-of cash.  It will also take some planning. We may have to save some money for a few months. Depending on how much money I get back from my disability back pay. We may leave next month or we may leave in October, don't know but I do know..... that wishes are just realities without blueprints. Ponder that a moment.

Until next time....

If it makes you smile, then there's probably a law against it.

Getting Started

Hello Out There, 

My name is Cecilia. This is my first entry into the blog world. It's about; my close friend Deano and I, starting our Cannabis Refugee Trip from Tennessee To Washington State. (the only state where you have to write  the word 'state' afterwards). 

     

I just won my disability case this week, after 7-1/2 years. So now we start saving and preparing to move forward.

By-the-way; Cannabis is illegal here in Tennessee, where in-breeders and redneck folk are running rampant. I was born and raised here but DAMN what a fucked up state it has turned out to be. (for me and all cannabis lovers alike). At least we have CBD oil for a very few patients. Tennessee legalizes CBD oil. 

Medical cannabis has been turned down several times here. Which leaves people like me and my friend Deano, out-in-the-cold and left to be "Pill Prisoners" to big pharma.

We gotta save but "where are the boxes? Lets start packing now".

     

Until Next Time....

Peace, Love and Unity
Cecilia
