   "Ulcerative Colitis = Southern Blood"
   
   All you ever hear is:  Crohn's Disease; moreover, while not to dismiss that crown of gastrointestinal misery--there is another:  ULCERATIVE COLITIS!
   
   Ulcerative Colitis affects the underground, in that it is not championed.  A miserable butt-like disease, where inflammation and ulceration of the large intestine produces blood loss, this chronic, sanguine circumstance spawning iron-deficiency anemia, and it seems that Wikipedia denies:  Blood Transfusions.  For, at 117 pounds of withered bone and shrinking flesh, having up to 20 bloody & painful bowel movements daily--they infused me after nearly losing half my blood, going in and out of consciousness, till the altruistic Emergency Room Physician got me hooked up to an I.V. of godly Ichor--or it was to me. 
  
  Imagine if you had inflammation in your mouth, making your oral cavity produce blood; plus, ulcers all over that inflamed tissue and also encompassing it in a savage nature.  Would that suck?  Now image the complications of having Ulcerative Colitis, I ask?  Hemorrhoids from chronic evacuation of the bowels; plus, the further ruination of a rectum.  Then, Psoriasis swimming around the tissue of the rectum, further adding monstrous agony.  This is me.  My Great-Grandmother having bitten the bullet due to some form of rectal cancer.  What a way to go.  Though bleeding to death can be romantic, carrying you off into unconsciousness, till deeper into the esoteric cavern of eternal death.  Though bleeding out of your butt is never romantic.
   
   So, why no love for Ulcerative Colitis?  Why is Crohn's Disease mentioned concerning the legality of Medical Cannabis Concepts, yet Ulcerative Colitis means nothing?  Is our suffering not real?  Or perhaps you never intended to pass the law, here in the Glamorous South, in the 1st place?
  
   Cannabis is an anti-inflammatory among having other sublime virtue.  That is enough to comfort the woes of a large intestine blooming with crimson inflammation.  Still, no medical cannabis in Tennessee.  So, some people go to the street; next, they get Mexican Dirt Weed or crap like that, offering not the organic and holistic properties of Western Pharmacies, where the cannabis is cultivated to have an intent and function of healing; plus, offering the mild narcotic bliss of perhaps a decent, 4 hours of futurity.  Regardless, when you forge a Medical Cannabis Idea--you include all conditions; otherwise, you offer smack to those in corporeal need.  Look, I adore the South--I know, partially, my William Faulkner.  Still, why do the Western States allow their people physical solace, yet the South refuses?  Moreover, cannabis use for recreation is even allowed in some Western States; as a result, the West has more Liberty/Freedom than the South--as it was, and still is, previous to the foolishly fought Civil War; we all know what Mark Twain meant after absorbing the prose of IVANHOE.  
   
   The Governor & Lt. Governor of Tennessee are so far into "supposedly" protecting the children and high-achieving, healthy people that they've forgot the downtrodden.  If I lived in Colorado or Washington, I could find a doctor armed with mercy under the architecture of magnanimous law.  
   
   Here, oh well; nonetheless, the sweet green foliage of Nashville/Franklin on a blissful summer day do display more dazzle and magnificence than most of the other American geography.  So, what to do?  Suffer.  Pray.  Give to your Church if they support mercy.  And maybe one day-- one red, white, & blue day . . .
