Here’s the blog post I found, or at least the part that relates to California Tenth Amendment Center:
“So, will the Teabaggers who support “State’s Rights” even to the point of secession over health care take to the streets and defend California should it legalize marijuana for recreational use?”
I can’t speak for the ‘Teabaggers’, but California Tenth Amendment Center backs up all who are resisting Federal encroachment. The marijuana community have certainly been the boldest camp within the entire circle of recent state sovereignty activism, demonstrating that standing up to DC can be successful. Legal usage of medical marijuana in California is now in it’s 14th year and despite crackdowns by Federal thugs, Cali’s growers, collectives and patients have stood their ground. It would seem that at least in the Golden State, people under the influence of Federal drug-war propaganda are in the minority.
Medical cannabis represents a unique battlefield in our new era of Federal health care control. The power to deny a natural medicine can be extended to any and all natural remedies, or treatments as is the case with San Diego’s Gerson Institute. Patients at the Gerson Institute are treated using plants and through stimulation of the bodies natural cleansing mechanisms, but since Gerson’s method is not Federally approved, the institute has been forced to operate across the border in Tijuana.
Prevention of substance abuse is an important consideration, but even that is best accomplished in our families, communities or churches and simply cannot be achieved through the unconstitutional Federal drug war.
We must be consistent in our views and if you see things the way we do at California Tenth Amendment Center, then you recognize the Federal marijuana mandate for what it is- a threat to our liberty and our Constitutional republic.
