Politics of Health - Win

Politics of health

On issues like Gay marriage, 
Medical marijuana or assisted suicide,
Will of the people goes out the window.
They argue, one can act normally when high
Pot-smoking makes you unmotivated, a lie!!!!
They have their own axes to grind.

We come across another type of people who argue
There are better medications than Marijuana
Less damaging health to relieve pain
Much better treatment for pain
Marijuana is not a drug
But an herb and a flower
God put it here to grow
No right to say God is wrong
They have their own breads to butter.

Yet another majority of people who barb
Roll it. Light it.
Inhale it. Hold it.
They have their own amusements to rejoice.

Cherl Dunn February 12, 2014 at 5:50 PM Your right on the button here, i believe the same way, my hubby believes the other way. Now the only point i agree with him is when it is used for terminal cases it does seem to help in these cases a lot more. cheri thank you also for your congrads for the Titanic

Sara Kendrick February 12, 2014 at 9:29 AM Great work that takes a stand..Enjoyed reading your contest entry..I believe that it is not good for a person and should only be used in a situation where a person is dying and it could make dying easier..Reads like winning material to me..Sara
