Medical Marijuana Law for New York
We disabled citizens of New York petition the State to enact a liberal medical marijuana law which would prevent all employers operating within New York from Discriminating against us in all aspects of our employment. We petition to have doctors prescribe our ability to procure medical marijuana for our own personal use modeled after the California, Colorado statutes used as secondary, persuasive legal authority. Excelsior.
Why is this important?
The legislature has attempted to enact a medical MJ law in New York. There are many thousands of New Yorkers, myself amongst them. who have total & permanent disabilities which will end only with out deaths. We pay our taxes, obey the laws. We've needed relief from the pain and suffering our disabilities have caused us since the 1960s that this wonder drug will bring. In the absence of equal protection & equal Justice before the laws of New York which a medical MJ law would bring us, we are routinely Discriminated against by employers prejudiced against us. We need the dignity that regular employment will afford us now more than ever due to the creeping hyperinflation which the Federal Government has allowed by permitting the Federal Reserve to over print currency thus devaluing the buying power of our dollars. For those of us especialy who are retired, that bad monentary policy seeks to make Social Security into a poverty program. We disabled citizens all have a right to work, and a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. New York is a right to work State. We ask only for what is owed us: the freedom from hunger, freedom from fear which were amongst FDR's 4 Freedoms. It is even more unjust to war against injured people as it is against nations. We and the natural medicine we need to relieve our suffering are not the issue. It's the injury of the injustice of keeping us from our legitimate medicine which is the issue. Ignorance, prejudice, indifference are not a just basis to perpetuate the privation we experience. We petition to have the
medical profession determine our right to prescriptions, not cops.
