State persecutes medical marijuana users
September 1, 2010
Why is Illinois trying to pass a law
[on medical marijuana] that was already passed in 1978?
For 32 years this state has had this
law [the Cannabis Control Act] on books. This law was to be
implemented by our state’s public health department who failed to
do their job.
The people have a right to know their
state has not only persecuted its citizens who have medical
problems, but mislead and enforced a law illegally.
I wonder how many of my fellow
citizens realize the truth. Propaganda put out by our state and the
U.S. government have not been proven in the numerous studies done
worldwide.
This government has been putting
people in jail for political reasons just like Russia and Cuba, yet
claim a moral high ground.
That’s a joke, politicians with
morals. Yet they have no problems telling me what my morals should
be. What is immoral is the state not recognizing that this law was
passed and never acted upon for its purpose to help medically-ill
people, not make them criminals.
