Rep. Kavanagh Still Fighting Against Arizona Medical Marijuana

Although Arizona citizens voted and passed the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act in 2010, some state officials are still wasting taxpayers’ time and money on personal vendettas by opposing the voter-approved medical marijuana law. A bill proposed earlier this month by Republican Rep. John Kavanagh could be challenging the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act in the November 2014 ballet.

The bill filed by Rep. Kavanagh seeks to revoke the entire Arizona Medical Marijuana Act because Rep. Kavanagh’s personal discrimination of marijuana leads him to believe that Arizonans were misled in regards to the impact of legalizing marijuana for medical purposes.

Although there are hundreds-of-thousands of medical marijuana patients around the country that know medical marijuana helps with their medical condition(s), Rep. Kavanagh claims that the majority of Arizona medical marijuana cardholders have received their card for chronic pain. And Rep. Kavanagh says that chronic pain is “subjective, ill-defined and easily faked.” Apparently Rep. Kavanagh doesn’t truly comprehend the words: sympathetic, unbiased, or logical. Nor does he seem to understand that he is supposed to be working for the people of Arizona, and not fighting against them.

It is obvious that Rep. Kavanagh has no empathy for people with chronic pain–those people also happen to be the people who pay his salary and elected him into office–and now he defies medical marijuana chronic pain patients by openly calling them frauds. Chronic pain suffers–whether it be the elderly, veterans, or anyone with a disability–that seek natural pain relief via medical marijuana are liars and law-abusing scammers in the eyes of Rep. Kavanagh.

Yes, it is quite easy to understand how people that hold a public seat are often power driven and attempting to control whatever it is they feel they can dominate. Surely there is something in it for this John Kavanagh trying to make a name for himself in the financial arena. Cutting all of these individual characteristic out, it seems there is a point being all too often missed. He claims that people voting didn’t know what they were getting themselves into. I have not heard this outcry by individuals that are outright opposed to marijuana. There are those that would say it is overused, but still acknowledge the benefits for many pain suffers, glaucoma, Alzheimers and an ever growing array of ailments that are lessened (many more detail needed in this research). These people still call the movement a gain. All this aside, working in the health field, I have much more concern for the individuals that see their PCP’s for pain and get prescribed chronic addictions through narcotic pain pills. Talking about not knowing what people are getting into, these prescriptions are often motivated by incentive from the pill companies. People just don’t know what they are getting into and their lives can change permanently. Prescription pills are undoubtedly the fastest growing addiction in the United States. John Kavanagh, I challenge you to use the logic you have with your claim of people not knowing what they are getting into and address features of our society that affect the most people in the most debilitating way. You’ll likely see, without a biased eye, these are also the issues people voted you into office. I imagine, if approval is what you are going for, it is not too hot right now.
