Marijuana as Medicine and Illegal Parenting
Posted on January 23, 2012 at 11:54am 0 Comments 0 Likes
What feels like an extremely long time ago, I wrote a post about women's health issues and marijuana.
I didn't write that post because I'm some sort of enormous pot head. I didn't write it because I had been looking for an excuse to be stoned my whole pregnancy with the girls. I wrote it because the information I found about cannabis as medicine was utterly fascinating. And learning…

At thirteen, I found myself one evening marching in a "Take Back the Night" rally, megaphone in hand and leading a horde of chanting women through the University of Michigan campus.
I've been thinking about that experience a lot the past few days.
This is an unsafe world. There are so many dangers we can protect ourselves from, and so many we can protect our children from, but not all. Not nearly all.
That rally was misguided. The idea was to protest… Continue
