Oh yes, it’s an “outrage” that the sick and dying will have access to a natural remedy that alleviates their pain and suffering.

It looks as though the west coast is setting a trend for the rest of the country, and it’s time that the east coast caught up.

It seems people are starting to realize that depriving the sick of medications for the sake of the drug war is counterproductive.

I noticed how that older gentleman said ” not a good idea ” or ” bad idea ” or something like that . Well , i ain’t no spring chicken myself but , there is a heck of a lot more older people that think that marijuana is a bad drug than there are young people .I understand why……after 50 years of lies , more lies , bullshit & more bullshit along with all those deceptive ads put out by the Beer companies , Big Pharma and tobacco companies which are made to ” trick ” you into thinking marijuana is a problem no wonder why these old folks think it’s bad .

I hope this cafe is a success. I like the idea of having a place where medical users can gather, grab some coffee, light one up and socializing with some other local medical users. Maybe the opening of this one, if successful, will lead to more opening in other medical states. Of course with the taboo of marijuana naturally some people are going to be concerned but I believe that they have nothing to worry about.

The clothing store next door will do a bang up job after the “cafe” opens. I would like to hear what the owners from that shop say about their increase in business in couple of months.
