On Cabrillo Port Dies a Santa Barbara Flavored Death

Posted on May 4 at 5:06 p.m.

I heard the guy who wrote this got a death threat. What is wrong with the world? Marijuana is a plant on God's green earth. The fact that it exists is proof enough that it should be allowed to grow and be consumed by anyone who wishes to do so. If you disagree with marijuana use then don't use it. Those who think Stewart deserves to die for talking frankly about something happening in our community are a disgrace to the human race. Perhaps years of marijuana use have sent you so deep into paranoia that you can no longer see the truth and such honest talk only worsens the situation. Or perhaps the death threat came from a cannabis hating square. It has only been 70 years since this plant was outlawed. That is a very short time in the over all scheme of things. My grandfather remembers cannabis tinctures well from his childhood- he was given them in his youth for a variety of ailments. He is a great man who served this country in the armed services, was given a purple heart and continues to consume marijuana to this day. Because of medical marijuana he does not have to live in fear and hopefully, because of this truthful story, more people will see that God does have a plan for all living things and cannabis is a medicine that can heal. Shame on those who are affraid! The revolution begins when we leave fear behind.
