My name is Mark Hutchins I am the proud owner of the non-profit california corp. Medical Marijuana Museum. We are going to build a grand museum in the best place so all will know what the truth is.MedicalMarijuanaMuseum.org

Joining this organization is essential to keep the light from going out on sensible drug policies and keep an avenue open for people with dieseases who can only be helped by medical marijuana.

These websites are in memory of Craig Steven Hutchins who died of AIDS before medical marijuana was known to help.

Our emotional response to people who care is positive.

Censorship of Medical Marijuana is a policy that if followed can actually cause harm to people!

The money and prejudice that has been spent to stop a good medicine is unjustified, and at best a mistake.

Burning the books on drugs and medical marijuana, or just not being able to pick them up from your library because the dust is so thick, (aka. adult content) is absolutely unacceptable!

Please do not put Medical Marijuana with all other drugs and shut it out like the tactics of the DEA. It is legal in 12 states in the United States for medical purposes, and has so many different possibilities for use, its illegality actually hurts us.

Censorship is Wrong and Thought Control is COWARDLY----The only thing that can fight these common enemies is GOODWILL----

WE NEED YOUR GOODWILL TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN!

The Real Question is : WHOIS for FREEDOM ?

Thanks,

Have a Good Day

I am so glad that you have shown a real interest in the benefits of Medical Marijuana for Children. Every state that has legalized Medical Cannabis is different in how they regulate it. California is probably the most forward thinking of all states about medical pot. In California, medical marijuana is reccomended to children who suffer from a variety of ailments, including but not limited to Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD), Leukemia and all other forms cancer in children. Watch this link, it is to Youtube, and the Keith Olberman show who interviewed an expert that advocates the use of medical marijuana for treatment of ADD in children instead of Ritalin. It is given to kids, not by smoking, but by consuming pot in the form of food, such as a hash cookie. It is dose specific, and kids are not getting "stoned". http://youtube.com/watch?v=yj72e5q61Fs

Keeping the internet open for information is key to the survival of Freedom. Without the internet as a completely open tool, it will be destined to fail.

The truth is kids and adults will always smoke marijuana and use drugs, it has been going on since as far as we know. It is human to want to experience altered states of consciousness, it is not abnormal, or immoral, it is completely normal to wish to explore ones mind with substances. Name one group or culture that does not use one drug regularly, we are surrounded by drugs all day long, it is part of us as a species; We like To Get Stoned

Laws and popular beliefs about drugs often change, and are not so static. Modern Anti-Marijuana notions came out of the era of jim crow laws, and the Nixon Administration, two terrible blotches on American History in many respects. When one realizes how Cannabis was made illegal, and the racist reefer madness propaganda that has filtered down to our children, one might begin to understand the scope of the sickness that is the law. Targeting Minorities, and Blues and Jazz Musicians (such as Louis Armstrong), along with mexican immigrants, the first marijuana laws were passed in congress, amidst fears of how it makes the minorities act. These laws will not FOREVER Be reality, They will change.

Letting the internet and aboutus conform to the whim of one nations ignorant drug laws and moralizing is missing the whole point of the what the internet stands for-----FREEDOM

The internet is not an American Tool to spread what it believes all over the World.

It transcends national boundaries and cultures

The Internet Belongs To All of US-----Our descendents will pride AboutUS for not listening to the ignorances of the time, seeing through the muck, and becoming a true beacon of human history and knowledge. Just as the loss of the Library at Alexandria in Egypt was lost by the ignorance of people who out of a lust for power, destroyed treasures and knowledge of immeasurable value, that caused Europe to slumber in 1,000 years of DARKNESS, until our modern contemporaries rediscovered what was known in the Library: Censoring knowledge to those who truly seek it(children), will perpetuate ignorance and fear about drugs.

WE MUST NOT LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN HERE

Copernicus wrote a book that was called (On The Revolution of Celestial Spheres). This book was banned immediately by the Powers at be, and especially to kept away from children, because of its satanic verses. Those "Satanic Verses" by Copernicus described the Sun as the Center of the Solar System, and the Earth going around the sun.

Don't Censor information that truly belongs to ALL OF US, including children. All information should be made available to children so they can make the correct decision about their lives and if or how to use drugs. Trying to censor the knowledge will only cause more fear, pain and incorrect use of drugs. In the memory of those like Kepler, and Copernicus, who dared to think outside the norm, do not Censor Drug Info from kids.

Do not treat the internet like an american policy tool, or you will fail to make this a viable organization.

And if you do decide to Burn the Books afterall, and squelch out the light of Medical Marijuana, then I hope you also flag all of the anti-drug websites also, because as we all know, knowledge is power, and if you truly wish to control how the children think and learn, you would destroy all knowledge of the drugs in totality, If you don't I will, Everyday I will make sure and flag all of the anti-drug sites to make my point.

The choice is yours whether to council fear and ignorance to children. Would you rather your child not know how to use the drug properly? Out of ignorance, perhaps killing themselves in the process. If your kid Just had information that the drug was harmful, and not to use it, but did it anyways, because of the natural human curiousity to experience altered states, and overdosed out of ignorance. Could you Live With That?? Amsterdam and many forward thinking parts of our planet, hand out heroin needles for free, to drug users, and councils them on using drugs safely. Instead of counciling ignorance and oppression, Amsterdam councils information, and Freedom.

The seat of the European Enlightenment was in Amsterdam, because they were a safe haven from the thought control of imperial dominated Europe. Galileo, Copernicus, many of the greats of our history, fled to Holland during the enlightenment in order to escape persecution and death at the hands of those in power throughout Europe. Free from thought control, Holland allowed knowledge and information to flourish, causing a flood of new discoveries, and inventions that have shaped our modern society.

Information Creates Knowledge, Censorship Prevents Knowledge----In Holland where information is available, and drugs legal, drug use has gone down by native dutch adults and children. In America where ignorance is encouraged, and fear of police common, more and more kids are getting high.....I wonder if there is a correlation with increased information and knowledge about drugs, and a decreased usage of drugs??????????????????

The Internet is like Holland, it is the seat of our current enlightenment and dispersement of new knowledge. Allowing overprotectionist policies regarding children, and allowing ignorance about drugs, is the WRONG THING TO DO

Think Harm-Reduction instead of Censorship

The real question is : WHOIS for Freedom
