I don't think that you can judge who God is with and who without. Who do you think you are?

God isn't with one person more than any other. That would be a complete contradiction with Church doctrine. Everyone is equal in God's eyes. Now that can be taken many ways, but the way I see it, God is with someone their entire life, as they are born, as they die, as they are happy, or as they are angry, as they save lives, or as they commit murder. There is no more or less. Its idiotic to say that God favors one person just because they do something or not. I think God is with Bin Laudin as much as He is with the pope.

Well aloha to the readers.
Melissa well what do I say? I have been a big fan of hers for a long time. Any cancer is horrable to deal with. She is a survivor. I on the other hand am terminally ill and will die of my illness. That being said I am happy she found help with medical pot. My experenice with pot has mosty been in my younger years and I thought the same thing that it was taking me to a higher level of consciousness also. I would just say that I have seen her in concert about 15 times, 2 of those times are recent she was cancer free. Now maybe there is one more lesson here that most musicians learn in the long run pot/or drugs dont mix with playing a tour. In a time of war and a tight economy most of Hawaii was upset by her last 2 shows here. As recent as within the year she was so bad and off key and for 100.00 for a disabled seat to her concert maybe she missed the the lower level of consciousness called earth and get back to the basics of music if your going to sell it put your heart back into it and dont talk for hours about your higher consciousness. Stay home and rest we would rather see you real than just patched together or medically stoned.
Peace be with you.

I think advocating any "medicine" you need to inhale is a bad idea. Would she recommend pot "therapy" to someone with lung cancer? I think not. Bad decision Melissa

Yes,actually. Medical marijuana has been shown to lessen the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. For lung cancer sufferers,it does not have the harsh chemicals that cause cancer to begin with,such as in cigarette smoke and asbestos.
One of my best friends died of mesothelioma,if not for marijuana his last days would have been much much worse.
Unless you've actually been there,don't judge.

have you ever looked up the effects of cannabis on the lungs?

ok yes i know what you are gonna say.."theres 4x more tar in marijuana smoke than in cigarettes"

well yeah, you are lighting something on fire and inhaling it..

the shit kicker is, aside from the tar and a few other things(again you are SMOKING something) there are many beneficial aspects, such as the capillaries dialating making it ideal for people with asthma, or just for clearing out all the shit in your lungs from cars, factory farming etc..

smoking cannabis can repair up to 2 years worth of lung damage caused by cigarettes (they are legal so they arent bad for you, right?), and i quote the emporer wears no clothes on that.. dont beleive it? take it up with jack herrer, if you prove him wrong he will give you 50,000 dollars (no joke)

lol, and thats just lungs buddy, i dont have the room in this comment box to tell you all the medical benefits of just the flowers not to mention the over 25,000 different uses of the entire plant

hemp alone has the power to make industrial civilization sustainable (which if you study,is almost impossible). prove me wrong and win 50,000 dollars

come on , make my day

read the emporer wears no clothes, it will save our lives

Good God, the last thing you have to worry about is being fat. And who decides who's fat??? You survived, you're still doing what you love. What more could a person ask for. I've been a major fan for ever and I support you whole heartedly. Keep the faith and keep the music coming. To hell with anyone that is so shallow all they can think about is your weight. You go girl!!!

Melissa is a bigger-than-life talent and shines with inspiration for so many who admire and love her... Melissa, never worry about unimportant things such as weight or anything else as long as you survive the horrors of cancer and share that truly gifted voice of yours.....

Shut up!!! Let's see you battle everything she has and then come back and say that crap. Melissa proved that she has what it takes and nobody has the right to judge her.
