Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief, or ignorance ... me ;)

Medical marijuana user dies without transplantWhere's the humanity?!!

Timothy Garon is dead. Why did he die?

"He would have likely survived longer if he received a timely organ transplant but was denied access because he followed his physician's recommendation, used medical cannabis during his treatments for liver disease, therefore testing positive for THC metabolites and rather than receive the gift of a potentially longer life--instead doctors at the University of Washington deferred to federal prohibition laws and mores, handing Tim a death sentence."

There are no pharmacological or physiological reasons why Tim Garon, or any medical marijuana patient, should logically be denied access to life-saving or life-enhancing organ transplants.

In my view, commonsense and humanity were completely lacking here on the part of the doctors who denied Tim and his family a chance at a continued life together.

Time and time and time we see
These acts against humanity
Each for each and each will bleed
And shed blood for what they each believe
On and on and on we go
Some will you see and some won't be
True to you and truth will lead
You to a sense of o now ... peace
