please write your member of congress, NEIL AMBERCROMBIE. i read that he is going to run for governer of hawaii as well. he has a nice website and he is pushing helathcare for all.
i just sent him a letter to help, email, followed by a letter, asking him to intervene in behalf of Gloria Molica, the medical marijuana patient, age 62, quite ill, being dragged through court to evict her from our federally funded senior's residence in kaunakakai moloka'i. for what? for killing her pain with marijuana by using a vaporizer in the confines of her little apartment. the next courtcase will be a few weeks. she cannot even afford to hire a lawyer. she needs her special bed because of her back. she will be homeless and cannot take her bed with her. the marijuana was prescribed to her by her doctor because the prescription pain meds made her so ill that she couldn't eat. she has permission from our state, but inspite of what Pres. Obama announced a few weeks ago that the feds will stop harrassing patients with state permits, the witch hunt goes on and individuals suffer. SOMEONE in our government needs to care! see
The Molokai Dispatch for the article in our weekly paper about the ridiculous statement made that "mrs. Molica poses a danger to the safety of other residence" and "her state permit is meaningless". if they can make this argument stick, it not only ruins the integrity and repute of a nice older lady, but it will make it ever so more difficult for the other 4000 card-holding patients in hawaii.
thank you for caring and writing our representatives, guys!
