Growing your own medicine can save you money, working with your own plants can be peaceful and relaxing. Yet every October when our medicinal crops are about ready for harvest, the rippers come, theives in the night stealing our medicine for illegal purposes. Yet by law we are not allowed to have a firearem on the premises to protect our medicine from getting in the hands of unlawful street pushers. It is illegal for us to protect our property from theives and to help keep our medicine where it belongs, with the patient whom it is prescribed to. How are we suppose to do our part in keeping cannabis off the streets when we can't by law have a firearm at the same location as we cultivate our medicine when so many theives that make a nightly job out of stalking and robbing our gardens are usually more armed then the local police department? Is it fair to not be able to protect our rights that we the California people voted for and protect out crops as we would protect our homes?

my pursuit of happiness includes cannibas, as did Washington's, Jefferson's and most americans through the first 125 years or so of our republic, right up to "Hemp for Victory" the WW2 era propaganda film ENCOURAGING every farmer to grow hemp as their patriotic duty.
lately the morality police have made a big business of crime and prison building, its a multibillion dollar racket and it explains a lot of illogical things the government does to stamp out a plant.
someone with free and easy access to hemp would invent a process to make your own ethanol in your garage and we would start being self-sufficient, a big no-no in a consumer society like ours.
now you know.

First Amendment? How do you make THAT connection...there's no such protection offered under the first or any other of the 27 Amendments.
Get it straight, growing POT is not legal for any individual for ANY reason. But just keep rationalizing that you're somehow helping mankind by keep drugs off the streets.

As long as its for your own use and not for profit its your liberty right and 1st amendment right to pursue your individual happiness you should not be judged on your beliefs. This coming from someone who would love to cultivate and use but will not risk my family and freedom because BIG Government controls everything.

I don't see how growing and smoking pot is akin to free speech.
The only way you could get away with it is if you somehow got a religion recognized that allowed smoking pot. Some indians are allowed to do Peyote as part of their religious ceremonies.
I think you've been smoking a bit too much of it.

i agree it's not fair, but i think it's probably a fed law that says you can't have a firearm...but relax, as more and more states (10 or more so far) begin to see the medicinal usefulness of marijuana, the fed will have to see it our way...it will be almost impossible for them to continue to turn a blind eye to medicinal marijuana when more than half the states adopt similar California laws....
