Do no harm. This is an oath that medical professionals take as they set out on their journey of supposed healing. Somewhere along the way there practices and vision become clouded by the perks and misinformation of some very persuasive pharmaceutical companies and many doctors get willy nilly with the old prescription pad. The pharma-cartels push the street level doctor dealers to move these drugs for them on a massive scale. These are real and dangerous drugs. Not a plant based medicine, but a chemically concocted compound that has the ability to alter minds, destroy physical health, and kill. Yet these pushers never find themselves facing criminal charges for their actions that often end up in the tragic deaths of their unsuspecting users.

The abuse of pharmaceutical drugs in skyrocketing and the dope dealers behind these marketing masterminds could not be happier. We have seen time and time again the tragic death of a person due to the addiction to these pill formed killers. The tragedy is often minimized as a common mistake and there is always a scape goat, usually the dead person, to blame the irresponsible use upon. But this is like blaming a crack-head for all of the crack in the community. Is the crack in the community because there is a demand for it or is there a demand for it because the crack is in the community? I think on this one we can all agree that the chicken came before the egg. Pharmaceuticals are no different. If anything they may be more dangerous as the pusher is normally a licensed physician whom a patient trusts with their well being.

How is it our society is so ass backwards on this? I sit here on house arrest for my actions in providing safe and effective food-based cannabis medicines to patients in CA. My patients also had to consult with their doctor before using my product. My products also carried drug facts and warnings as to the possible dangers associated with use. My products gave relief and comfort to the most vulnerable patients when used correctly. The difference? My products did no harm, ever, to anyone. There is not one documented case of the over 1 million products we sold in over 7 years of any patient ever having a serious or fatal result from using Tainted/Compassion products. Yet, somehow I am the criminal. Somehow I am the one locked away, a convicted felon, and a martyr for a cause. WTF?

Marylin, Elvis, Judy Garland, Howard Hughes, Dorthy Dandridge, Dan Plato, Who Drummer Kieth Moon, Milli Vanilli dude, Nick Drake, Anna Nicole Smith, Heath Ledger, and possibly Michael Jackson have all met the fate of these prescription dope dealers. And those are just some famous people. Almost 800,000 people die every year of conventional medicine mistakes. That type of figure is astonishing and the crime against society makes 9/11 look like a walk in the park. Yet, the beat goes on.

Bristol, Meyers, or Squibb will not be going to trial anytime soon for the death of the unsuspecting patients that they kill each year. The Ambien pushing bastards will never face losing their livelihood and facing prison terms for their actions. The folks at Pfizer will never be held accountable for their part in killing these unsuspecting patients. Nor will any of these companies be forced to provide their medicines on a non-profit basis either.

Yes. It is a sad state of affairs as these dope dealing thugs in suits will continue to flourish and buy off the politicians that regulate the laws. There is a crisis here and yet there is no concern in our communities. There is no call to shut down Longs or Walgereen's because of their dangers to society. There is no investigation being launched into these manufacturers and no accountability for how their drugs continue to kill. It is high time that the real dope dealers and pushers be held accountable for their immoral actions. With abuse skyrocketing and enforcement being more and more relaxed everyday there is a perfect storm brewing for these killers to continue their actions. When will society find the common sense of it all and begin recognizing who the real dope dealers are and leave cannabis medicine providers be? What a backwards world we live in. Selah.
