Unlike medi-pot opponents, I actually interact with cannabis patients. Often, they seek me out – writing me testimonials like the one below. Perhaps if more politicians and, God forbid, members of law enforcement shared in these sort of one-on-one interactions, they'd change their tune. Or perhaps, they would do what Presidential hopeful John McCain did, and simply turn their backs.
