Another year, a little more progress in the ultimate goal of legalization of a plant that does way more good than bad.

There have been some major strides taken by the good people of the United States when It comes to making legal medical marijuana accessible to all that need or want it. Unfortunately, many opponents are also sticking to their guns with their ignorant arguments and rebuttals when it comes to this sensitive subject. They are holding on to the same ol' outdated propaganda that needs to be rolled up in a phatty and laced with some of the best medicine ever known to mankind...spark it up.

I don't know of any prescription drug that works 100% without the chance of some adverse side effects kicking your butt. The greedy pharmaceutical companies and politicians need to be exposed for what they are... wealthy people that don't care about the well being of the people but only the well being of their already overflowing pockets.

We came oh so close in taking a step in the right direction in my home state of California with Prop. 19. We are taking the steps that all states need to take until the entire USA is decriminalized. We need medical marijuana dispensaries available to all who need easy access. I don't necesarily look at the failed proposition as a fail. I see it as a stepping stone in the right direction.

Medical Marijuana is not for everyone. Xanax, Vicodin, Morphine, etc., is not for everyone. More and more people are dying from diabetes and heart disease related complications every year so the foods and lifestyles that cause these major illnesses are actually worse than the wonder plant that does the opposite for these sick patients. Marijuana has been proven time and time again to have healing properties for some of lifes most debilitating and deadly sicknesses.

Will 2012 be the year when your state takes the steps to legalization? Let us hear your thoughts below. The time is now!

Please follow my blogs as I am going to bring the heat on the powers that be in 2012.

Also, please comment and I will get back at you asap!
