For those unfamiliar, I've been doing volunteer work and lobbying for Washington DC's "Initiative 71" to legalize marijuana in the District. Can't use it myself due to clearance, but think it's drat silly thing to lock folks up for; plus I was bored and the campaign has girls. Real long shot, but does anyone know a Arizonan combat veteran living in the DC area who's pro-marijuana? A colleague is working on some AZ-related weed issues in the capital, and would love to have such a person drop by a discussion or something to present a credible viewpoint. I've been pulling the vet card (and non-partaker) card for some lobbying bits, but he could really use an Arizonan? Absolute dream would be to find an AZ combat vet who uses cannabis to treat PTSD (even if not local to DC). Anyone here? Or anyone have a 420-friendly (even if not necessarily user) buddy from Arizona who was in the recent wars and lives around DC? EDIT: I haven't dropped around GiP in forever, so as an update to old colleagues, I finally quit my beltway bandit job with DoD (which a goon here got me in 2009) and got a... well different bandit job I guess, doing advising for foreign militaries. If my luck holds I may be moving to Barranquilla for a few months shortly.

John McCain decided weed is for pussies and gooks and has been plugging Krokodil since '88. HTH. If that doesn't help I'm pretty sure Cindy has to spark up a doober and take an extra careful Laura Bush-like drive every evening to stayed married to her precocious little PTSD Addled Bánh mě of a senator.

Hey guys, my organization could really use a suicidal pothead in a military uniform as the mascot for our latest cynical panhandling drive to line the pockets of the sort of people responsible for his PTSD and drug dependency. Know anyone like that?

I mean thanks for being cool with weed, but uh.. "We could really use an AZ vet using weed to treat their PTSD from the wars" is the worst kind of cynical neoliberal bullshit you can imagine. You are the 2014 (D) version of an unpaid GOP staffer looking for black marines to remove from behind the podium at Pendleton. In short, you may sincerely be a huge piece of poo poo. But I won't hold that against you bruh, lol 420, smoke away the night terrors lol amirite??  JK, just go searching through tumblr. It's the hip new way for young vets to hashtag tag their triggers and change their gender pronouns while getting bombed on some serious Kush.

at the date posted:Hey guys, my organization could really use a suicidal pothead in a military uniform as the mascot for our latest cynical panhandling drive to line the pockets of the sort of people responsible for his PTSD and drug dependency. Know anyone like that? This guy gets it! The biggest threats to vets aren't alcoholism, mental illness, or suicide: it's smokin' the reefer. Line the pockets of the sort of people responsible for his PTSD and drug dependency - marijuana reform advocates started the Iraq and Afghanistan wars? Is this like the thing where we accuse Big Wind and Big Solar of beating up on the pluck li'l oil companies? In any case, for clearer contest: - The Feds are notoriously unsupportive for researchers wanting to conduct marijuana research. It's literally easier to experiment giving people cocaine or oxy since those are Schedule II. - A medical researcher in Arizona got fired by U of Arizona, setting back her planned study cannabis/PTSD study it took her four years to get DEA approval for. Situation kinda unclear, allegations from both sides of political bias. But regardless, AZ has gone from being just about to do serious research, to not doing it anytime soon. - AZ, to its credit, is going ahead anyway and adding PTSD to the list of disorders that rate medical marijuana. That they can do, they just can't conduct actual studies to see how well this works. If a Chipotle clerk walks into a congressional office and says "the feds shouldn't impede PTSD research involving marijuana", nobody cares. If someone goes to the office of their actual rep, says same thing but has personal ties to the military and people with PTSD, it's actually credible. I wouldn't say this is tokenism at all, it's looking for people specifically affected by blockages of this kind of research.

shutup human being no one cares about weed edit: obama got elected and that signified the end of: racism, gays being discriminated against, and anyone giving a good got-drat about weed being legalized which is why in two states it is now quasi-legal

Talk to whip. I'm sure he has combated some stoned Arizonan vet in DC. Probably beat that septuagenarian right out of his wheel chair into the reflecting pool for toking up his glaucoma meds. But seriously though, you're looking for a unicorn. Not too many vets on their rocker who are chiefin up. Case for your examination: Shim

But then what about the cost to feed and house them? In the end, the solution is to put the capable ones to work performing low-skill manufacturing jobs for approximately no money and use the profits to support the mass of cliff baby dependents, who could be housed nearby in some sort of high-density residential complex. haha get it because it describes both concentration camps and typical urban poverty Eugene V.
