In Remembrance: The Inevitable End of G+
and the death our history
#NotAboutUs
March 2019 With the inevitable end of G+ on April 2, our history together dies. Consumer G+ accounts, G+ pages, album archive, communities and all your Google+ posts and comments on all sites will be deleted. Erased as we never were here. The notification app will stop on March 7. We will be sharing IACM bulletins till the end on G+ and continue on Facebook. As long as we will be allowed there. Right. They could not arrest us all ?. They had to find a way to get us off-line ?. Previously my photo' s that I posted in 2011 on wiki were removed from the page 'medical cannabis'. Just curious.. when my site 'the dutch independent patient' will disappear.. With the recent post of ''Six Years Later; Brave Mykayla Comstock'' we close a period of changes. We have been here for so long, that some do not even know who we are.

(opinion) Feb 2019 The Netherlands - A bird's eye view of some history. What an exciting six years it were. In October 2013 i got the ' Hemp and Cannabis for Health ' g+ community from a friend, Billy. With visions of a future in sight, I created guidelines that met international jurisdiction on drugs, selling and advertising, just to keep us safe and the group open. In 2013 I did meet Michael Dussault Jensen († 6 June 2018) Patient, cannabis advocate, inspiration and founder of Dads 4 Marijuana. We were in a divorce procedure at about the same time. I helped him a bit at g + with the startup of his group Dads4Marijuana. We disagreed about what to accept in the online groups. For a moment there was talk, that I would still help him moderates but I am too strict. From a great distance, I followed his problems with his ex, and then with his heart. In 2014 i was part of a dutch foundation for patients which i left same year. We have connected, tried to reach the whole world. Somewhere we did. We witnessed legalization in some places. We saw Colorado grow and blossom. Prices fell - while in other places as New York and the Netherlands (the Netherlands) the prices only went up.
We did interviews, radio broadcasts and have talked to ministers, ministries and police officers, with medicinal cannabis in our hands at the same time.
We helped sharing the knowledge about cannabis based medication, spreading it's seeds all over the world as an 'oil' stain, u get it ?.
We have been warning for dangers of synthetic cannabinoids medication and synthetic. Sometimes we gave personal advice, guidance.
We have talked, laughed and shared. From Vermont to Malaysia we did share. Festivals, gatherings, patients testimonials / stories, protests, marches, rallies, bycecle tours, demonstrations in front of GW Uk, request, petitions, local law reform proposals, opening of new dispensaries, announcements of certification programs, the first cannabis clubs, the first cannabis oil in dutch pharmacies, a lot of recipes for edibles and a 1000's of studies.
We saw how cbd oil made from hemp / hemp passed the world of prices from 15 to hundreds of dollars per 10ml. To then see how, in the Netherlands, certified companies start selling the cbd oil at dump prices.
There were days that dozens of people try to reach us, and days of absolute silence. We tried to keep the g+ platform clean with our 400 members of the #G #Watcher #circle .
I went through all the posts of the past 6 years and made a movie of it. So not. That was good in G+, You could always find a post from years back. Remarkable. If you go through all the posts, how well you remember, every picture of patients or special events. With many hours of work, and much efforts to keep the snakes, bugs and other critters out, and an average of 20 posts per day, we have reached 1000, 1500 and even over 3000 views p/day. While others were calling G+, a 'ghost town'. We did write out videos, or translated Dutch articles into English and sometimes the other way around. Posts from our google plus group, sometimes reached the general Google news stream. Some posts even reached governments.
Our starting point was updated news and real scientific information without commercials, by fact checking of dates and news and by sharing the IACM newsletter. Since the beginning, number of participants at their congresses has increased considerably. By spreading the real RSI (real scientific information) we have contributed to a better and safer world for the patient, who chooses cannabis or it's extracts. We shared also remarkable, strange, annoying or intense moments, even vulnerabilities.
Thank You !

About the author:
(for those who do not or do know me) Almost 50, medically trained and have worked for more than 16 doctors. I saw more than 15000 patients pass, before I became one myself, in 1998. In 2003 a lot of pain, in 2004 a diagnosis: all joints worn incl spine and damage to intervertebral discs. And now poly osteoarthritis. In 2010 and 2016 I have been 100% disapproved for work, exempted from job applications and volunteer work. Partly due to my stress-related stomach disorder, I can not tolerate medication properly. So I did not opt for synthetic drugs or surgery, experimental or not. One doctor said to me: you did not have any real pain yet. Another doctor said: you're going to have a hard time, but i replied, 'no you will, cause you still think the pills do work'. Doctors have offered oxycodone and morphine. I had to visit 30 doctors before I found one who wanted to write a prescription. In 2011/2012 I used the government program for medical cannabis. After this, I mainly use foreign smuggled hashish. Most dutch cannabis only has thc. Illegal hash has by nature dozens of components, by example, such as cbd, thc-v, and thc-a. In recent years, my choice for nature also resulted in struggles with municipality, health insurance, doctors, friends and family. My father overruled the diagnoses with the remark: That disease of yours is more in your head. Actually he is right. The worst is damage to the lower spine and intervertebral discs. That spine is attached to the base of our skull. And that is attached to the skull, which is perfectly situated between the ears. Right. I have not received any donations, donations or sponsorship. I live on social benefits, and spend 50% on rent. Only 5 to a maximum of 10% on my 'medical therapeutic supportive tool.' My healt insurance 'FBTO' is still not covering, not even one dollar. Sharing everything together in life ?. Meanwhile, I have been threatened, harassed and some even wanted to see me in court. Often it seems there is nobody that understands. In first place, I am a patient and in second place, cannabis, my choice of treatment, is mine. Private, confidential. A doctor will now say; you are medically inexperienced or uneducated. But not to me. Believe me, they tried.
Quick Personal Update Feb 2019 :
1) My municipality of Tilburg ignores me deliberately.
a) They did not respond on my emails as patient in 2018.
b) Their work office still invites me 'for conversation' while i am 100% disapproved by the same municipality.
2) Still no coverage from health insurance where my morphine or oxycodone would have been compensated.
3) Still sick. Last year the same nerve has been trapped three times in the spine.
4) Government is '' not responsible '' for my diseases but their laws '' still '' limit my freedom.
5) Price for 1 gram cannabis are 8 to 15 euro.
6) Cutting waste, needed for extract /oil, went from 1 to 3 euro p/gram.
Let nobody make you crazy, The world is Ours !. Until we meet again, Jeroen, The Dutch Independent Patient
