Default LEAP Blog - June 9/08 - Smoking Cannabis Where Tobacco Smokers Smoke Tobacco

Here is my most recent LEAP Blog everyone....

Hope you all enjoy!

Love and stuff,

Hi Folks…
My apologies for not being around again for a while. Not only have I
been extremely busy again, I had also run out of cannabis the past few
weeks and found it difficult to get out of bed and stay awake thanks
to all the pills I take when I have no cannabis. Between being so busy
and then dropping like a rock I feel like I've been run over by a
train! I SWEAR my Government knows this is how I become when I can`t
fill my prescription for this plant. Very disheartening to say the least.

Speaking of my being busy, I had another trying month here in Canada.
There have been two fairly important issues that have risen in our
country that are breaking ground for medical marijuana patients across
Canada.

The first incident involves medical marijuana patient Steve Gibson,
who happens to reside around the corner from where I do in a small
town called Oakville, Ontario. Mr. Gibson, or Steve as I now know him,
is a legally licensed cannabis patient due to issues with constant
chronic pain from a work related neck injury a number of years ago.
Steve frequented a local bar/eatery, and one particular day as he
usually did there and when required, he proceeded to the patio with
tobacco smokers to smoke his legal medicine, cannabis. The owner had a
probem with this.

TheStar.com | GTA | Eatery won't fight pot smoker

Smoking is the fastest route of administration for those of us with
severe nausea due to said pain and also delivers a stronger form of
administration to the patient, requiring much less cannabis.

Seems the owner, a very ignorant man by the name of Ted Kindos, didn't
feel this was okay on his property and promptly threw Mr. Gibson out
of his Restaurant, yelling out for him to never return again!

Steve Gibson knew this was blatant discrimination against those of us
who choose cannabis as medicine and proceeded to file a lawsuit with a
Canadian entity with a branch in Ontario known as Human Rights, asking
for a small amount of money and for the right to use cannabis where
tobacco smokers smoke their cigarettes. We at least had that way to
turn, thank God! Ted Kindos was also ordered to write a letter of
apology for the way in which he treated Mr. Gibson and discriminated
against all cannabis consumers. A great way to resolve this issue,
though still in the works Steve told me when he called today....

What "shit" are you referring to? I'm 18 and my little brother is 13. I see my mom take her prescription anti-depressant every morning and I see alcohol in almost every restaurant I have ever been to. So you're telling me that kids should not see people taking their prescription meds and yet they should see people drinking margaritas and budweiser?

Yeah, Gator Ted's Tap and Grill sounds like a real "family resturant". Sounds more like a bar to me than it does a Restaurant

By saying "kids don't need to be around that shit", I take it you mean someone smoking marijuana Whether it's for medicinal or recreational use.
If I take into account my personal experiences, I would much rather have my kids or grandkids exposed to someone smoking some weed than to be hanging around people getting tanked in a bar.
The only stigma attatched to weed is that which legality, propaganda, lies and people like yourself impose on it. I know from experience, without this stigma, kids wouldn't find the behavior of a responsible marijuana user anything to be concerned about in any way.
Alcohol is known for causing rude, obnoxious and often violent behavior in it's users unlike marijuana, and yet I don't hear you whining about kids being exposed to that Now that's some "shit" I really wouldn't want my kids exposed to

This was a bar/eatery. There was alcohol and cigarettes being consumed, why can't a person take their legal and safe medicine outside? I doubt a kid could even tell a difference between the cigarette smoker and and a medical marijuana user taking his medicine.

I like how Pompo put it
