Do you color outside the lines making your own drawing or do you follow the rules and stay inside the lines.
I struggled with the way society is ...I always wanted to make changes to the drawing but wanted to do it inside the lines.
I have march,sat in,laid across roads,blocked entrances in the name of some cause.I was never arrested because when I was asked to disperse I did so while many friends stayed the night in jail.
I have always found that to try to change the law by breaking it only would make me a outlaw and that would loose validity for my cause.I have always believed that breaking a law is not changing a law.
My most recent cause is marijuana.I suffer extreme pain every day.I take viocodone every day and sometimes lidocaine and morphine patches.Some of my friends that have cronic pain smaoke pot or use it in cooking to lessen the pain and find it works very well.I feel I would benefit from the use of marijuana and could most likely cut way down on my pain meds that I'm sure are hurting my body.I will not use it until it is legal to do so .
Do you think it is right that people like me have to use heavy addictive pain meds instad of marijuana when it is less harmful to me?
What are your thoughts here?

As far as possible, I try to follow rules and stay inside the lines. This is the safest approach not to get into trouble with the law. Though I understand and do believe that some advocates that laws are meant to be broken (which many did), I believe in keeping alive and not caught so that I have a chance to change the law, if there is such a chance.

Hi there, raydene! As I was just saying to someone, I am not the type to be put into any mold or slot. I've always lived my life on my own terms-for better or worse. I would advise you to do whatever your little heart desires as it is your body experiencing the pain. Sometimes laws are just foolish. I had a friend back in high school who was fond of saying, Rules are made to be broken. The best of luck to you, dear.
