I'd like to talk a little bit about Pennsylvania House Bill 1393 sponsored by Rep. Mark Cohen and others. 

I just finished reading the bill in its entirety and have been studying the history of the bill since its introduction to the House. I am glad that legislation has reached the state level that calls for the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. I also want to state that I am an intelligent educated man who is a history student and also understands that to error is human, and as I have erred and learned from my mistakes, I hope our great Commonwealth will realize the time for change has come and learn from its mistakes both economic and moral. 

This is not only the right thing to do, but with the proper education provided in harm reduction to our youth, it can be a huge benefit to the economy of our state and our people.

In response to Sharon Smith of Mechanicsburg, PA who testified in the bill hearing, I do wish to express my condolences or your tragedy, however I abhor the thought that you would connect solely marijuana use to what happened to your children. I ask you, what other drugs were your children medicating themselves with? I medicated myself with alcohol for 10 years in substitution of marijuana and it was the most horrible addiction I have ever beaten, yet it is legal to be consumed by all. What is the profound medical benefit of bourbon? I know it kills pain too...

People find help in all sorts of things...there are questions to ask when determining abuse to legality and to what can be beneficial if regulated properly.

Oxycontin and prescription medicine are abused,animals are abused,  food itself is abused. Don't confuse your belief legality and misuse with common sense.

Let the people speak and the state prosper from their word...


Sincerely, 

Jeremy C. Fink

Some of the things wrong with this world today...

After suffering a fairly serious bicycle accident this past weekend, I have not posted anything recently and for that I apologize. I went face first through the rear windshield of a minivan on the street where I live. I was looking over my right shoulder to move from one side of the street to the other, and when I turned back around-BANG!!! I crawled up to the front door of the people whose van I hit and asked them for help which they promptly gave me, as any good person would do. They called the police, ambulance, and my girlfriend and were very helpful giving me towels to stop the bleeding and were there to comfort me until help arrived. The police arrived, took a report, assisted me to the best of their ability and kept me calm and immobile until the paramedics arrived to transport me to the hospital. My girlfriend also ran several blocks down the street to where the accident occurred under the impression that a car had hit me. No my love, it was I that hit the car with my f

Don't Tread On Me...

Don't Tread On Me... Now most are familiar with this motto I'm sure, I don't know 13 letters that will ever say more. Just 4 simple words, that's all most people see, Then there are free people, people like me. We bow before no man, no ruler, no king, And our so called government is about the same thing. Together they plot, the liars and thieves, Murderous bastards only driven by greed. The more people they murder, the more money they make, But "Don't Tread On Me" says your money is fake. Never been dependent on the story you sell, Before I worship your dollar, I'll see you in hell. Yet the most shocking part of their devious plan,  Is the people who buy it, led to slaughter like lambs. You're nothing but cattle in the eyes of "The Man," He buys you and sells you and you allow it to stand. You're blind to reality, You're completely asleep, Kept a slave by distractions, kept obedient with "treats.&

“Federal Cock” (copyrighted 2011 Unfiltered Forever Inc. ) "The powers that be" blatantly continue to play upon the obsessions and addictions of Americans, taking every advantage to distract us from the things they are doing right under our noses. Funny… you can immediately smell “ shit ” if you step in it, but when it’s “ shit ”   going on right under our very noses, “ shit ” that is deep, “ shit ” that is pungent unlike any other “ shit ” we have ever experienced, “ shit ” that these pieces of “ shit ”, whom prefer to be called "politicians or elected officials" and let’s not forget the purely laughable " Public Servants"   have wiped from their wealthy, greedy, corrupt, ( and don't forget) CRIMINAL asses with the very Constitution and Bill of Rights that protect us "Average Joe's" and our freedom, “ shit ”   that will ultimately enslave us all to Government and its elitist agenda and destroy what little freedom we have left, if a
