Ohio Groups To Hold Rally And Educational Event For Medical Cannabis Bill

[MedicalNeed]

In a recent poll, 73% of Ohioans supported legalization of medical use of marijuana. Unfortunately, many are not aware that a bill currently exists in the House that would allow just that. Many Ohio politicians have made it clear that they have no intention of representing their constituents' wishes on this issue, and until citizens across the state know about this bill and speak out, the bill will sit inactive in the Health Committee.

In addition to building support for this bill, however, there is another goal for the rally. In addition to speakers Dawn Dunlap, Tonya Davis and others, as well as live music and more, there will also be educational material to help the remaining 27% of Ohioans understand exactly what medical cannabis is all about. Guests will learn about the myriad conditions helped by cannabis, the truth about medical versus recreational legalization, and why synthetic THC is not the same as the full range of cannabinoids in natural cannabis. Several other speakers are also being confirmed throughout the week.

As a special bonus to Foursquare users, one event organizer will also be holding a mass check-in at noon in an attempt to have the first Super Swarm badge issued in Ohio (which would require 250 checkins), so be sure to bring your phone.

The event will be held this Saturday, October 16th from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at the statehouse at 1 Capitol Square in Columbus, Ohio. The event will go on rain or shine. Further information, as well as a section to discuss travel arrangements and late-breaking news, is available at the OMCA Rally website at Ohio Medical Compassion Act (OMCA) Rally | Facebook. Updates will also be posted throughout the week at OMCA Rally (OMCARally) on Twitter. Watch all week for additional speaker announcements.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This event will be professional and family-friendly. Please refrain from tye-dye, drum circles, or "protest" behavior as well as any acts of civil disobedience such as smoking in public. We ask that participants dress and behave appropriately for our important cause. Signs are greatly encouraged provided they are not vulgar or confrontational.

It would appear that the politicians do not have the people's best interests at heart.

"It would appear that the politicians do not have the people's best interests at heart."

You hit the nail square on the head trueblu8. If we are observant and start connecting the dots what we find is that all politicians are really the same. They all belong to the same very well organized club which serves their best interests.

 

[trueblu8]

Yeah sometimes I think that people are pretty dumb who buy into the whole left or right thing. In my opinion they are all part of the same club. They will say or do anything to get voted into office. And then never follow through when they get there.

And another thing, why can't an average joe ever get elected into office? Why do you have to be rich and well connected? Why are big corporations allowed to bankroll potential candidates, essentially guaranteeing that they'll be in their pocket later on. So much damned corruption, are the elected officials just puppets for a greater power that is really pulling the strings? Why can't a guy like Ron Paul ever get elected for president? Why wasn't he even allowed on Fox to debate with the other presidential candidates? All in all America is still a great country. But damn there is some f-ed up shit going on here. Sorry for the rant.

P.S. Why was one of the few good presidents we ever supposedly had assassinated? Is that what will happen to anyone who gets in there that really has our best interests at heart?
