MEDICAL MARIJUANA IN TEXAS? NO THANKS!

My readers all know that I am unalterably opposed to any legalization of marijuana, medical or whatever. Richard Connelly has got it right when he says that the opening paragraph of MMAG’s official press release doesn’t make any sense. Actually the paragraph looks like it was written by some pot head from San Fransicko, Kookfornia whose brains have become addled by smoking that funny tobacco once too often. And in responding to Hair Balls, Alexander Young couldn’t even get his own telephone number right – he’s missing a digit.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA GROUP STARTS IN TEXAS, WE THINK
By Richard Connelly

Houston Press Hair Balls
August 3, 2010

Our sister blog, Toke of the Town -- the number one site for all weed-related news on the net -- reported yesterday on the founding of a new group seeking to make medical marijuana legit in Texas.

Lots luck with that, fellas.

There's an official press release from Texas Medicinal Marijuana Advocates Group, but the opening paragraph sounds like it was written by someone who was....wait for it.....not very good at English. (What did you think we were going to say?)

__With the state of Texas recognizing Medicinal Marijuana Advocates Group (MMAG) as a non-profit, the fight to bring medical marijuana legislation to Texas' constitution grows closer to being a reality. MMAG, a recently founded organization advocating peaceful protest for pharmaceutical research, joined the movement with full force, absent of hesitation to act, from Alexander Young, president and founder of the group. The goal was clear and the level of motivation and passion in the executive board members flared, quickly attracting supporters.

We have no idea what that all means, on many levels. Except that Babelfish is still on the web, translating from the original Esperanto.

We tried calling the number for the PR guy, but it was no longer in service.

So all we're saying is, don't expect to have legal medical marijuana in Texas by, like, next month or something.

HERE IS ALEXANDER YOUNG’S RESPONSE:

Mr. Connelly,

My name is Alexander Young; the founder of MMAG. I fail to see how this release did not make sense to you. As far as our employees' credentials, the majority of us have extensive college back rounds. The gentleman that you say "...but the opening paragraph sounds like it was written by someone who was....wait for it.....not very good at English. (What did you think we were going to say?)" actually is an English/Literature major, as well as myself. I understand people's skepticism on this matter, but I request your column not be so hasty in the critique of our literary publications. This organization is here to help, not to hinder in any way. We are committed to the betterment of health and humanity. If you cannot seem to reach our Director of Public Relations, you may contact me directly. Thank you for your time.

High Hopes my Friends,
Alexander Young-President/Founder of MMAG

AND HERE IS MY RESPONSE TO ALEXANDER YOUNG:

Extensive college backgrounds - what does that really mean? Our universities are full of educated idiots. The country is full of graduates with extensive college backgrounds and many of them are educated idiots.

Comitted to the betterment of health and humanity? What a crock! Come on Mr. Young, come clean. All you and your ilk want to do is to legalize marijuana - health and humanity has nothing to do with it.

The legalization of 'medical marijuana' is a joke. Just look at California and Colorado. Doctors there are writing prescriptions by the ton for all kinds of faked ailments and the pot pharmacists are making millions of dollars.

Medical marijuana in Texas? No thanks!
