A Note About Skyler

Posted by | Nov 23, 2013 | |

I started my own organization because I rub a lot of people the wrong way. I just want to make sure everyone is aware that it’s okay with me if you want to distance yourself from me. Some people like that I act like a know-it-all. others find it obnoxious. It’s just a matter of compatibility, either way. If we are not compatible personalities, I don’t take it personally and neither should you. By the way, can someone give me the best way to integrate my FB and Twitter posts into an embedded app or the like. I was never a big fan of web...

Sick Kids in Harrisburg Get Results; Bipartisan Medical Cannabis Bill Announced

Sick Kids in Harrisburg Get Results; Bipartisan Medical Cannabis Bill Announced

Posted by | Nov 19, 2013 | , , |

I saw a beautiful thing at the Capitol building in Harrisburg yesterday. There was hope on so many faces that too often look scared and sad. Parents of sick children who have felt hopeless and helpless for so long have been learning that cannabis can help their kids who they have been watching waste away before their eyes. Legalization for medical use of cannabis is possible and is sweeping the nation with new ballot initiatives and state bills seeming to pop up every day in some unlikely places with unlikely supporters. Team MMJ fights the good fight with their...

Responsible Cannabis Use: Where your rights as a cannabis user end and your responsibilities as a citizen begin

Posted by | Nov 12, 2013 | , |

A lot of wannabe cannabis activists will talk about your rights to legally use cannabis (which you definitely have), but will go too far and try to make you believe that your rights are absolute. We, as cannabis users and a community, have a definite right to live in our community and use for recreation, religion, medicinal or any other reason. However, we have a responsibility as cannabis users to respect the rights of others. I’m beginning this series to help educate cannabis users about responsible cannabis use. I hope people find it helpful. These rights include every citizen’s right to clean air. It confuses me when cannabis users talk about their right to smoke wherever they want, whenever they want, however they want. These are not the people I want representing cannabis culture in America, but they are often the most vocal. I won’t have them representing me or my cause. The pen is not only mightier than the sword, it is mightier than the bafoon. Cannabis users have a right to congregate, we have a right to medicate, a right to live our lives how we choose. What we do not have a right to do is infringe on other citizens’ rights to not want to breathe in our smoke. It’s wrong for people to not permit us to live our lives how we choose so long...

My Utter Frustration With the Media, Realm of Caring and the Uninformed Masses CSC is Trying to Help.

Posted by | Nov 3, 2013 | , |

This is a repost of a response I made to a Facebook comment. The comment was made questioning once again my knowledge and experience, so I felt obligated to defend myself for the sake of the Collective’s work. Please let this serve as a response to all the doubters especially those already receiving treatment instead of having to suffer with no relief until Realm of Caring is able to harvest the ONE out of THOUSANDS of strains that contain CBD that can be extracted. I know Realm of Caring is doing great work and my only main criticism is that they are relying on this single strain, when THEY KNOW DAMN WELL that any strain will work. It may not be as cost effective, but my friends, clients and loved ones are suffering and I am trying to provide help! Research and smoke responsibly or stay out of the debate please. The way that traditional cannabinoid treatment works is by starting with the lowest possible effective dose. The reason for this is that the science very far behind. We do not know what works best for each person and each condition and may never. The individual makeup including diet of each person has been indicated to affect dosage needs. This oil has not been tested on seizure patients yet, but I can vouch for its treatment of severe pain,...
