It’s About Getting Relief
We made this poster after a NORML Patients Alliance for Cannabis Therapeutics meeting in Austin, TX. During the meeting we heard story after story of people who were taking some pretty awful prescription drugs, explain how cannabis made it possible for them to live again. One of the things that struck me was the fact that each person’s story included something about how horrible their prescriptions made them feel. And many of those people have felt great guilt and shame for doing something that is illegal even when it is what sustains them. We have had over 3K shares of this poster which tells me that many other people are tired of feeling guilty over making a choice that is better for them, than what is accepted in the mainstream. For whatever reason, many anti-cannabis folks seem to find the psychoactivity of cannabis to be a sticking point that they think gives them license to demonize the plant and those who use it. Because of their lack of knowledge about how cannabis works in the body, they miss the point that there is real value in the effects of the THC for many people. Feeling good is a key component to living well. We support every person’s right to feel good, live well and be pain free, without shame or apology.
