I see a plot in the New Mexico Medical Board's rule to make medicinal marijuana prescriptions hard to write for patients. This is nothing but big pharma applying pressure to the Docs to make it hard to prescribe the low cost and effective herb to patients that qualify. I mean if a few brownies take the place of outrageously expensive drugs then corporate profits will slide. How much longer do we need to put up with this corporate manipulation of everything in our lives? Am I being paranoid? Or is having the munchies a threat to our way of life?
I like SciFi because so many current authors and movie makers are seriously looking at whether this is paranoia or if it is actually happening. The series Continuum on SciFi channel says it is and it studies time travellers coming back to the present era to make sure it never happens. The upcoming movie, "Elysium" will study the great division of wealth much as "District 9" by the same director studied racial segregation.
And we can all wonder at what kinds of political intrigue aimed at establishing stronger corporate control of government is taking place right now at the Tamaya Resort near Bernalillo. That is where all those corporate CEOs and right wing pols are meeting in their annual get together.
Yeah, I am paranoid. I wish more people were.
