Steph,
Has ASA considered a "relocation program" to help people with
chronic illnesses relocate to a state that has voted medical and/or
recreational laws for cannabis. For example, most people with a
chronic illness who are on Social Security make just under $800 a
month... organizing housing (roommates to split the rent to make it
(housing) affordable etc). I think this would be a great program for
people who live in states where access to a reliable safe medical
grade strand (an indica for kindled seizures for example).
Also, I am forwarding this to leap to make sure they know about your
push in the fed jurisdiction, as the message (facts/science) becomes
more about the message (facts/science) when they are the ones
presenting and have done a very good job of finding individuals who
can give clear facts on the reasons this issue is very important.
I would love to see ASA and LEAP have a "pamplet" on their web site
for anyone willing to print out and pass out the information to
people.
