The Fight In Indiana For The Freedom To Access Cannabis

This weekend, a town hall meeting took place in Goshen, Indiana, and a number of people came forward to express their support for a change in the freedom to access cannabis.

At the moment, there are a number of legislative initiatives under way that are seeking to establish some changes in the state, and this meeting offered the public a chance to air their concerns over the matter. To get engaged in the growing debate of whether or not the state should embrace legalization.

Just last week, it's said that the Attorney General in the state issued an editorial where he pressed for the need to retain the restrictions surrounding cannabis. But despite the unsurprising concerns, the public still came forward to express their support for seeing a new level of freedom surrounding this plant.

Speakers described how hard it was for them to watch someone they love suffer, without being able to help them, thinking that cannabis could possible provide a solution for them.

Let The People Decide For Themselves

Many people are interested in trying cannabis for one reason or another, with varying symptoms, illnesses, and concerns. But will they be afforded the freedom to consume what they want to put into their body anytime soon? Governments spend billions of dollars policing this plant in an effort to protect people from themselves. Meanwhile, there are many benefits that could be derived from this plant and it's past time for the many who've grown up indoctrinated with anti-cannabis propaganda, to come to terms with the potential that cannabis might be able to provide.

It wasn't that long ago that the first bill was passed in the state of Indiana that was in favor of medical cannabis, but it only allowed for access under very strict settings; only for certain types of epilepsy and only for cannabis-derived oil.

There are many who are currently suffering in Indiana who might be able to find some remedy from cannabis, it might be able to help them to improve their standard of living and bring them more enjoyment and peace in their life. And it is a violation to their natural rights to prevent access of cannabis to people who want to consume it or who could benefit from it.

and let's not forget the fun fact that a single death has never been attributed to a cannabis overdose.
