Even the government has admitted Cannabis can cure cancer but oh no those that provide the cure from God's plant are bad people.
We got to keep the propaganda machine going.
They sure wouldn't have any problem accepting food from the cancer drug companies placing poison in people's body with a TERRIBLE elimination of cancer rate.
Oregon DHS rejects turkey donations from pot group

EUGENE, Ore. -- A marijuana industry trade group says its offer of donated Thanksgiving food for people in need was declined by an Oregon state government agency.
The group says Oregon's Department of Human Services (DHS) initially accepted its offer, but had a change of heart because of its affiliation with the pot business.
Lindsey Jacobsen, the executive director of Women Leaders in Cannabis in Eugene, told KATU News in Portland that the group is “a nonprofit trade organization based on philanthropy."
At the beginning of the month, Jacobsen said the group of nearly 30 pot industry business leaders decided to give back for Thanksgiving by collecting food for the needy.
"The first place I reached out to was the Department of Human Services,” said Jacobsen, “because when I was in high school I was in Future Business Leaders of America and we did the same type of program and that's who we worked with."
Jacobsen said the local DHS office in Eugene told her it would have to discuss it with administrators before it eventually said it would accept the donation.
"We discussed in detail how we would make it happen,” said Jacobsen, “and a few days later we got a phone call back stating that they wouldn't be able to work with us due to too much time being spent on it."
After a reporter asked DHS about the move, Jacobsen said the agency gave the explanation she expected - that its affiliation with the pot business was a problem.
"It's disheartening,” she said. “We have lives just like everybody else, families, jobs. We're just happy to be able to give back now that we have the opportunity to."
Gene Evans, a DHS spokesman, said it's not agency or state policy – just the decision of one office.
He sent KATU News an email saying in part:
Their decision not to accept the donations was based on discomfort with the connection of a marijuana organization to DHS human services. … The Eugene office felt that baskets sponsored by this organization could create the impression that we endorsed cannabis.
“I don't see how being involved in a positive way could do any harm." Jacobsen said. “We’ll keep finding people that want to work with us and I think in the future people will be reaching out to us, hopefully."
DHS offered to refer the donation to other groups, but Jacobsen said they found one on their own.
She said a group called Autism Rocks will be receiving 20 baskets loaded with turkeys, stuffing and all the trimmings on Monday morning.
Common sense is a flower that doesn't grow in everyone's garden.
