Sue Taylor, a 69 year old American is changing the scenery of how vast can the legalization of cannabis is turning out to be.
She is going strong to show that the elderly citizens should be legally allowed to use cannabis in order to get rid of the ageing ailments.
It all started when the mother of three tried taking 1/8th of cannabis gummy in order to get rid of the back pain. Its effectiveness convinced her and she has been looking for it ever since.
The efficacy of the cannabis has now led her to be one of the six who are looking for a chance to open up the fourth medical-marijuana dispensary.
She said she had never tried a joint in her life has now stood up as a “cannabis evangelist”.
However, the critics still take it to be a risk. They say that the legalization of cannabis that has already been legalized in more than twenty states can be harmful to the teenagers and can give rise to criminal acts.
Citizens Against Marijuana treasurer Brooke Lowe claims that Food and Drug Administration has not found any good effect of marijuana for medication. There are many neighbors who are not at all keen to have a dispensary in their area but Taylor is adamant to prove that marijuana is helpful not only in killing pains and ailments but it also fights loss of appetite and insomnia.
Taylor says that convincing her family has been difficult because she grew up in Louisiana and is African-American. And the black families are highly cautious about getting legally affected.
Taylor wants to turn a 3,900 square feet space into a gleaming shop that will only sell marijuana salves, tinctures and low-salt and low-sugar edibles for grannies with diabetes or high blood pressure, but also serve as a holistic health center.
But she knows all this is not easy. She has to get the permit and eventually fill out a huge number of papers and learn the ordinance of the city. Sue Taylor believes that her link to cannabis was “a spark of the divine”.
