Shawnee Targets Sick & Dying With Stiff New Laws On Cannabis Medicines

9/17/2018

Comments

 
  The Drug Policy Reform Network of Oklahoma issued this press release regarding one central Oklahoma city's effort to put several barriers between the very frail, and the only medicine they still hope can restore their health and extend their days.
  Cancer patients, Severely Arthritic, Epileptics, Glaucoma sufferers, and veterans with severely debilitating Post Traumatic Stress.  Sadly, those most immediately impacted by this heavy govt. oppression will not be able to advocate for themselves. They're too sick.
  All these heavily challenged people will either have to flee the city or further adjust their lives to a very heavy list of costs and prohibitions on the lifesaving medical treatments that their physicians have already approved and directed.
  Stage Four Cancer survivor, Ray Jennings, serves on the state health dept. board of medical marijuana safety.  He tells a devastating personal account of losing 90 lbs. while enduring an aggressive chemotherapy regimen. He says he was dying from such severe nausea, such that his stomach would tolerate no nourishment. It was only when his family convinced him to seek relief with cannabis meds that he was able to turn the tide and regain his strength. His cancer shrank within a month and his weight slowly restored.  He was bedridden for months, But Shawnee would demand that he come to city hall and pay up before he could seek an approval to follow a doctor's order.
Picture
Ray & Becki Jennings celebrate new hope and added years. They devote much of their lives to medical reforms and restoring cannabis medicines to the medical community.

   On the face of it, this draft proposal of the Shawnee City government is absolutely heartless and void of compassion for the verified frail among us.  If they harbor secret suspicions on the physicians' diagnosis, then  it would follow that additional restrictions should be put upon the medical community, rather than punishing 100% of the patients who are facing death and probably a very painful path of dying.
  Here is the press release from the Drug Policy Reform Network, a think tank researching and advocating sound public policy on drugs and drug treatments.

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
