I really feel that the state of the medical cannabis community is hanging in the balance right now. We need some diplomatic messengers to take our message to the lawmakers and make sure they are doing this correctly. That does involve diplomacy. That involves finding the most effective way of being heard. What I am trying to do is create a space where lawmakers want to listen to us. They are hearing us. They are not just listening to us and hearing us, they are taking those considerations into account in the bills they are passing. If we continue to say to them that we disagree with them, and do not explain why we disagree and what we want changed, providing solutions for them not just criticism, I really feel it will be difficult for them to understand and craft laws that protect patients. - Kari Boiter - MJ Headline News
