Sacramento Medical Marijuana is an alternative medicine for various diseases that can be bought cheaper than those regular drugs we can buy in any regular drugstores and hospitals. This alternative medicine has a very important substance called THC than helps in blocking bad cancer cells to spread all over the body of a patient suffering from cancer. This THC also helps prevent those bad cells to become malignant.
Accidentally, last week was the 15th anniversary of California's landmark medical marijuana law, Prop. 215. Since 1996, sixteen states and three foreign countries have followed California's lead in legalizing medical marijuana; dozens of scientific studies have confirmed the medical value of marijuana and thousands of patients and doctors have found marijuana to be uniquely beneficial for a growing list of medical problems such as nausea, appetite loss, chronic and body pain, muscle spasticity, auto-immune diseases, psychiatric disorders, AIDS, brain and lung cancer, Parkinson’s diseases, Leukemia and many more.
But after 15 years that the law has been enacted, the federal government has staunchly refused to recognize the medical value of marijuana, choosing instead to launch hundreds of raids, arrests, lawsuits and threats against persons trying to provide it in accordance with California law. The feds are also looking at the possibility of closing some dispensaries and wellness center in the whole of California because of the state wide crackdown.
While Prop 215 didn't explicitly establish a legal distribution system, it called on the federal and state governments to implement a plan to provide "safe and affordable distribution to all patients in medical need."
With the latest development on medical cannabis, medical patients in the region are protesting on the Federal government’s latest crackdown against the use of medical marijuana. Medical patients are questioning the crackdown stating that the attack against medical cannabis is not logical since the law for the use of medical cannabis has been enacted 15 years ago.
"Fifteen years after passage of Prop. 215, it is a disgrace that our federal government has refused to heed the voters' mandate to provide legal access to medical marijuana," says Cal NORML Director Dale Gieringer, a co-author of Prop. 215. "Instead, all we have seen is ham-fisted arrests, raids and harassment in defense of a bankrupt, prohibitionist policy that denies Americans' right of access to medicine." He added.
With what’s happening, it is safe to say that medical marijuana users will need to be cautious in using medical cannabis even for health problems.
