Medical Marijuana - A Rant and a Plea

When I wrote my rant yesterday about marijuana, I hadn’t read Bitch Ph.D.’s blog entry about The Badgers’ family struggle with cancer.  When I donated what I had left in my Paypal account, I had only read a brief account of her story and the verification through a couple of sources that it wasn’t an internet scam.  What I hadn’t read was this horrible account of how our government has failed her and her husband.  When I thought the story was as bad as it could be during a bout with terminal cancer, it got worse.  Marinol at $80 a pill?  WTF!?  Pot can practically be grown for free, yet our government wants terminally ill people to have to pay for an $80 pill.  It’s sad and it’s sick.

I know I have a small readership, but if everyone who has a small readership can post a link and donate a little cash, it can certainly help a little.

2. I was just one of many who wanted to do whatever they could to help.  We’ve been the recipient of the kindness of “The Internet”, so we try to pass it on whenver we can.  This is one of those heartbreaking tragedies that deserve everyone’s attention.
