Patients 451

An increasing number of states are granting patients the right to choose cannabis as medicine, but in Prohibition states like New Hampshire, patients are still forced to fend for themselves underground.

Cannabis patients are very good at hiding.  Take for example Mary, a master grower and herbalist in her 50s who suffers from a chronic and painful muscle disorder.  Her body couldn’t deal with pharmaceuticals, so she turned to her ‘recreational drug’ for relief.  She has been cultivating high-grade cannabis and a seed bank for decades now.  She lives off the grid in Vermont and lovingly tends many more plants than her medical permission card allows.  She risks her farm and her freedom by selling to a small number of appreciative patients and connoisseurs.

Far from preventing the use of cannabis for spiritual, creative, and medicinal purposes, The Great Prohibition has driven the best and the brightest underground.  Like the clandestine community of book lovers in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, this growing slice of our society has migrated into the shadows to learn and share until their basic rights are restored.  These people are passionate, informed, independent free-thinkers who, for their own good reasons, favor cannabis—often in place of alcohol and pharmaceuticals.  As parents they send a strong message to their kids; Dare to think for yourself, but don’t even think about trying it until you’re an adult.

As we head into the New Year, patients in hiding around New Hampshire can find some comfort in the notion that in 2009 cannabis became a healthcare issue instead of a drug war challenge.  That fundamental social and political shift will return cannabis sativa to our fields as hemp and to our gardens as medicine faster than most people imagine—and much faster than our last-century leaders and Corporate America would like.
