Sal Dennison http://www.saldennison.org Congressman from the 19th District, Ohio Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:00:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Medical Marijuana http://www.saldennison.org/2010/02/medical-marijuana/ http://www.saldennison.org/2010/02/medical-marijuana/#comments Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:00:56 +0000 SalDennison http://www.saldennison.org/?p=149 Many patients from around the country have written me asking if I could spare a little weed to help them through the pain and nausea associated with whatever may be ailing them. It’s tought to turn them down. Any marijuana that I consume is for my own personal use, in accordance with congressional legislation. I’m still not allowed to distribute it.

But please kow that you are in my thoughts, and if there were any way I could give you a stash of joints legally, I would do so in a minute.

I think it should be seen by every American. Check it out, then pass it along to your congressman.

I hate to disappoint anyone, but I feel I need to set the record straight:

While I am legally allowed to smoke and grow my own weed, I am still prohibited by law from providing it to anyone, for free or fee.

Sorry if I let you believe otherwise (especially that Swedish masseuse in Canton — but thanks for the “extras”). Anyway, please do not send any more requests — I think the FBI is opening all my mail, then resealing it before the post office delivers it to me.

I need a good way to sober up for the president’s speech on Afghanistan tonight. Anyone have any thoughts? I hate being dfor these things.

Pot legalization gains momentum in California.

Let me know what you think. Is Ohio ready to go the way of California?

Earlier this month, hundreds of thousands of Americans marched up Pennsylvania Avenue; some held signs, some wore tea pots on their heads and others dressed like pirates. I’m not sure what they were trying to accomplish.  I mean, I know it was a rally against President Obama’s healthcare proposals, but these people kinda struck me as nuts.  Probably not PC to say it. 

I think it’s time for some intellectual discussions of reform and not silly slogans and stupid costumes.  The whole “tea party” motiff doesn’t make sense to me anyway.

I mean, I completely forgot about the big, important speech President Obama was giving on healthcare reform. It was very embarrassing; I think I’m the only congressman who wasn’t there. I was working in my office until the wee hours last night, and I guess the time just slipped away from me.

At least I didn’t shout out something stupid in the middle of the speech like that other dufus. Man I would hate to wake up the next morning and be him.

Thank God for YouTube.

I made me laugh for — I don’t know — six hours… I’m still laughing, but not sure it has anything to do with the video.
