I am surprised that this cannot be corrected with minor changes to federal law

Sadly our government doesn't make "minor" changes to accommodate those in need. Instead they complicate things and turn a simple thing into a huge, complicated ordeal.

And it's not just the federal government -- take a look at this thread for a good example. Jan Brewer is basically refusing to enact a law that was voted on by the people. Even the FReepers on this thread don't agree on what is right -- the debate rages while the patients are left to fend for themselves.

Personally (and selfishly) I am glad that there is so much demand for the stuff on the black market. The black market is true free enterprise -- supply and demand, a willing buyer and a willing seller. It ensures that it will always be readily available. And I like our chances with a judge and jury if I or any of my cancer patient pals get caught with it.

FRegards, and thanks for your support.

I’m trully sorry for your predicament. It is also troubling that you have to resort to a “Black Market” (which exists for illicit use) to obtain medication. And I’m concerned that getting it from that source just hurts legitimate medical use.

If you keep the amounts you maintain low so you cannot be accused of distribution. Then I don’t think any jury would convict you if caught in possesion. I’m as anti-drug as they get, but (if on a jury) would never vote to convict someone that was clearly seeking medicinal relief.
