How did you get here?

I feel like a pioneer.

Medical marijuana was made legal for card carrying members in Michigan in April of this year. I remember signing a petition about ten years ago in a local head shop to try to get this petition on the ballot. I really thought I would never see it happen in my lifetime, yet just last Friday, I myself submitted my own paperwork to the clinic so that I can get my own medical marijuana card. 

The compassion club meetings started a few months ago around here as well. We attended each and every meeting and I met some of the most awesome people I could ever hope to be friends with... Much less smoke a joint with. I also met people who truly depend on marijuana to live life on a daily basis.  I realized I was not the only one. Wow. For the first time in my entire life I truly felt compassionate about a cause. 

So I volunteered to be the secretary/treasurer of our local club.  This blog is going to follow the changes in peoples lives as more and more basements become beautiful green sticky grow rooms, maybe even my own.

Stick around and tell me how you feel about this issue.
