Santa Rosa Cannabis Providers Donate $20,000 Worth of Medical Marjuana to Valley Fire Victims

Two Santa Rosa cannabis providers are coming to the rescue of Valley Fire victims.

Care by Design and AbsoluteXtracts have teamed up to donate $20,000 worth of medical marijuana products to Lake County residents who have prescriptions but lost access to their medicine because of the fire, the Press Democrat reported.

The companies issued a joint statement, saying: "This disaster happened in our own backyard. As a company that prides itself on putting patient needs first, we felt there was no better time to reach out and help our neighbors in their time of need."

Through Oct. 7, each victim – with a California-issued ID card and an address in Kelseyville, Middletown, Cobb or Hidden Valley Lake – can receive up to $200 worth of products.

Care by Design and AbsoluteXtracts are working in conjunction with local dispensaries to provide patients the cannabis they need. People must also have a valid prescription to California Member Services, Peace in Medicine or SPARC, according to the Press Democract.

The Valley Fire has scorched over 76,000 acres and is 97 percent contained as of Monday. Officials say it is California’s third most damaging blaze in terms of structures burned.

Fire probably started when some stoned freak fell asleep with all his hippy candles burning. “Dude.....sorry....but I flaked!”

What or how much did you donate for the fire victims? Zero? That’s what I thought.

One local recreational weed store in Prosser, Washington tried to publicly donate $15,000 to the local school district, but that was rejected. Then the HS furnace system went out and the school was stuck trying to come up with money to repair it. They ended up getting an anonymous $15,000 donation that they used to fix the system.

How much did these people donate? I mean something the victims can actually use.

Touchy at the mention of potheads and their phony “marijuana is medicine” scam?

Touchy? Not really. You didn’t answer my question, though.

The medical properties of cannabis are well established, as shown by the report of the National Academy of Science's Institute of Medicine.

They can use it: "Lake County residents who have prescriptions but lost access to their medicine because of the fire".

The “medical” properties of marijuana are horsesh**, except for potheads.

From the federal National Institute on Drug Abuse (http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana-medicine:

Currently, the two main cannabinoids from the marijuana plant that are of medical interest are THC and CBD.

THC increases appetite and reduces nausea. The FDA-approved THC-based medications are used for these purposes. THC may also decrease pain, inflammation (swelling and redness), and muscle control problems.

CBD is a cannabinoid that does not affect the mind or behavior. It may be useful in reducing pain and inflammation, controlling epileptic seizures, and possibly even treating mental illness and addictions.

NIH-funded and other researchers are continuing to explore the possible uses of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids for medical treatment.

Even at your late stage in life it is possible to overcome and transcend your programming.

Good luck with that.

You are obviously well aware that there’s pot that has zero THC in it and does not get people high.

Are you willing to put users of that non-llegal lot in death camps too?
