It's hard to believe it's been nearly two years since State Representative
Kenneth Carano promised a group of medical cannabis patients that he would
introduce a compassionate use bill in Ohio.
Though it's not uncommon for politicians to promise one thing and then do
absolutely noting, generally, people don't suffer too much when that
happens. But when the people are sick, and dying, and the only relief they
get is from a outlawed herbal medicine, waiting too long can mean death, or
worse than death, a living agonizing hell of constant never-ending pain and
suffering.
I guess that's the kind of stuff, those college students and alumni feel
when they can't consume alcohol at, or during sporting events. Maybe that's
why Mr. Carano snubbed Ohio patients - again, (that's twice in two years Mr.
Carano) and introduced a bill to legalize alcoholic tailgating parties,
rather than keeping his word to a few chronic and terminal patients.
If there's one thing you can't have in an election year, its suffering beer
guzzlers on university property. Dying and suffering patients, well, they're
fewer and not quite as loud... if only booze would help them, Kenneth Carano
would be a hero today instead of being a heal.
I guess it's a priority thing.
