We use a wedge issue.

This is not a new tactic. The Republican Party has used this tactic with great success in recent times. It works.

A wedge issue is necessary in order to divert attention from what some people find objectionable to marijuana, that it can get you high, to what people find that they can't live without.

An issue that has an appeal so strong that they are willing to overlook or accept the small negative property it carries in order to embrace and demand access to the benefit it offers.

The largest segment of the U.S. population remains the Baby Boomer's. This demographic first embraced marijuana in the early 1960's as a counter culture symbol as well as a recreational drug.

They know for the most part that the hype and hysteria surrounding its use was overblown propaganda.

They have first hand knowledge of the effects of smoking cannibis.

And for the most part, they simply outgrew their fascination with this drug and moved on with their lives. But their nagging suspicions of any lasting effects of the drug remain.

Mostly a residue of their exposure to years of intentional misinformation combined with their waning interest in the substance.

But this group is graying.

They went through the Eighties and Nineties raising their families, establishing their careers, amassing wealth.

They thought that the society that resulted had worked out pretty well.

And it had. Until last year and the financial meltdown.

Now, their retirements are in question.

Gas prices are divorced from supply and demand.

Health Insurance reform is a major issue. Their parents are getting old and sick.

And they will be soon having their own health issues if they're not already.

A major change is needed. A goal, an issue that will help.

Perhaps one that recaptures some of that idealism from their youth.

They need an issue to embrace that can make a real difference in the world for themselves and their kids.

A change that counts.

Here's an issue that they can embrace.

Use Cannabis to cure cancer.

That's right. Use cannabis to treat and cure cancer. Cancer and a host of other diseases, but primarily cancer.

Why? Because it works.

Never mind that someone will use cannibis non-medically.

Kids use whatever is in Mom and Dads medicine cabinet anyway today to get high.

The cleaning supplies cabinet isn't safe. They're huffing Dust Off. And every drug in those pill bottles can kill these kids. All those aerosols can kill these kids.

Cannibis or marijuana has never killed anyone. Ever.

How can you abuse something that can't hurt you?

That's non-addictive, non-habit forming and doesn't present any adverse physiological changes?

We don't care if people can potentially abuse it. And, like alcohol or caffeine, it will be abused according to someone else's definition.

Anything can be abused. Chocolate, caffeine, even education to some cultures are all fraught with abuse.

Hemp can keep our folks alive and healthy.

It can keep us alive and healthy.

Getting high off it is not the issue.

Getting people healthy with it is the issue.

This is the type of response we need to cultivate.

This will work.

Unless your last name is DuPont or Dow or Merck or Rockefeller, there is no good reason on God's green earth for cannibis to be illegal. I know it, you know it.

It's time to let other people know it.

Use the potential that cannabis has for curing cancer as a wedge to open this crop up to markets that we haven't even imagined yet.

Get your magnet.

It will lead to a multitude of other products designed to get this message out.

People will talk.

Mainstream Media will cover the story.

The population will become enraged when they realize what solutions are being withheld from them by an antiquated law sold with bigotry.

But it has to start with you. It must start with you.

Who else is going to do it?

So let 'em know that you want to Legalize the Cure!

Can you name the First Prohibition?

18th Amendment? No, go back farther.

Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914? No much older.

British Stamp Act? Not even close.

I'll give you a hint.

The Garden of Eden.

The  Prohibition.

Two people to police. An omnipotent overseer. This had to be foolproof.

It still got broken.

It didn't work.

Prohibition has never worked.

Fortunately for us, the penalty wasn't mandatory prison. Maybe eternal probation if you care to believe the story, but it was dealt with by giving us consciousness rather than prison bars.

 Man added those later.

Have you had enough?
