Cardinals team up with Cancer
They want the dying to suffer MORE
The Cardinals are throwing their
political weight (and cash) behind an initiative to prevent
chronically-ill
or severe-pain patients from buying marijuana from state-licensed
clinics with a doctor's approval (the horror!).
The Cardinals donated $10,000 to the anti-medical-marijuana group Keep
AZ Drug Free today, joining the
likes of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio (R-Pervert) and candidate
for Maricopa County Attorney
Bill Montgomery in the war against prescription pot.
The group is against Proposition 203, which would legalize marijuana
for medical use in Arizona.
It should be noted that Cardinals President Michael Bidwill is on the
group's steering committee.
Bidwell, apparently, is no fan of allowing people suffering from pain
to use marijuana. We're curious what safe
remedies the Cardinals' team doctor prescribes players when they blow
out a knee. We have a feeling it's a little
stronger than, say, a few aspirin, and probably a little more addictive
than a bong hit.
We're not sure why Bidwell and Keep AZ Drug Free think Prop 203 is so
horrible. They didn't return our call
this afternoon, and aside from a blog that basically just links to
articles written in the media, nothing on their
Web site provides information about why they think the proposition is
so awful. It basically only says -- in a
South-Park-sort-of-way -- "weed is bad...mmm 'Kay?"
So, this rich bastard put up $10,000 to keep pain-killing drugs from
the dying?
But, of course, if Bidwell's daughter needed pot to keep
her food down,
this same asshole would move mountains to do whatever it took to save
her.
Why kind of dick donates money to stop the flow of
medicine to the sick?
I guess they want those Mexican drug cartels to make more profits?
