So the Veterans for Medical Marijuana in AZ is coming along, this week we expect to renew four more patients veteran cards and have assisted one Veteran with housing through the MANA House. We really need allot of help with certain things. Food and clothing donations, furniture for housed Veterans would bring our operations to full capacity. We are waiting on our tax status 501(C) 3 before we start accepting cash donations. The classes we have are not only informative and fun but rather for most of our patients the only way they have to interact with cannabis professionals and learn how to bend and weave this miraculous plant into what suits each and everyones needs. Patients that talk to me tell me that they do not want to smoke marijuana, turning it into butter a tincture or concentrate is way more beneficial to them in treating their ailments. Our Center is designed to assist our fellow Veterans but we would never turn any patient away in need of help in transforming this substance into what works for the them. Today I had the opportunity to meet with another fellow veteran and cannawarrior Bobby Price he reminded me that we are not alone in this. The cause of educating and helping fellow patients comes through the dispensaries and we must work together with those who understand what is at stake for the future of this program in our State. So I am putting out a plea for the greater cause and I wanted to offer a challenge but instead lets just say a call to arms to any dispensary that is willing to help Veterans and contact us at the center and find out what the needs are in the veteran cannabis community and assist be it with cash or medicine and take on the challenge of living up to the responsibility that we all share to ensure that our Phoenix veterans needs are met. I cannot thank our benefactor who wants to remain anonymous enough for donating the space to get our operations up and going. Also our volunteers such as Irene Lowe, who has been running our social media sites with a canny perfection. The time is now, the third stage of our Medical program has been working for more than a year now, we must come together as a community and no matter what has happened in the past the future is what we need to work on and through the spirit of collaboration we have the opportunity to turn our Medical Marijuana program into one of the greatest experiments in the nation and beyond. I cannot express my amazement that Director Humble finally got one right. The addition of PTSD as a qualifying condition (even with the guidelines imposed) is a first towards the expansion of the program since its inception. Last but not least I cannot end this rant without saluting our very own Dr. Sue Sisley. Her work and effort in ensuring that our veterans with PTSD are given a chance to be helped with true science with the end goal of offering relief, I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. I pray that those academics and politicians who caused this enormous miscalculation of judgement will come to terms that your work is not only necessary but we demand it as seen on the change.org petition for Ricardo André. Again I thank the patients who have been on this issue since 2010 for never giving up and enduring even during particularly hard personal times and let us take this program to a new height, one never imagined by the prohibitionists appointed above us.
