I am a 50 year old mother of 5 and Grand mother of 3 and have been suffering with sever spinal pain,migrains anxiety and insomnia due to a childhood disease called equine encephilitis, that I was lucky enough to survive, when so many others have died from it. For 30 years now I have been to, too many doctors to count and just as many drugs and continue to take those drugs just to function in my daily life.I am looking to relieve my condition with a natural medication that will not cause side effects that ultimately will kill me in the end like the pills that I am taking right now.
Medical Marijuana will help me and so many people with so many different illnesses,it is rediculous not to allow it to be legally grown and distributed to the people who have gone to great lengths and expence to get that medical card saying they can use it to treat their medical conditions and; for what, so they can be told "guess what, you just went through all that for nothing,because, you can not legally accuire your meds because the federal goverment and the state is going to make it impossible for you to get treatment like any other medical drug and quit making it impossible for people who benefit from using it.
You can do it just like you do with morphine or any other drug. Some one grows it,and drug stores sell it to patients and at a REASONAL cost and patients can use there medication as directed, everyone will be happy.
Right now,many people have found that marijuana helps there conditons and are forced to buy what ever is on the street, not knowing if what they are getting is any good or even poisioned by illegal growers in foriegn contries ,and by doing so, making themselves into criminals.
If the goverment would just listen to us and do what the people want instead of doing what big businesses and who ever else that has something to lose buy making this legal , there will be great benefits for the whole state,even the whole USA. legalizing medical marijuana could provide an Income to pay state and US debts, better educations for our kids, badly needed jods for americans and more than I can list.
In addition this will Take the power away from drug lords and corner drug peddlers and make it the medicine that it is!
Make it legal for the growers to grow now! Make it legal for patients to use it.
Make it legal for drug stores to sell it.
Make our suffering go away with a natural drug instead of all of these narcotics that over time will rot your internal organs.
If the goverment was really the voice for the people we would not be having this problem. I would even venture to say that if there were a country wide vote for the "total legalization" of medical marijunna in the USA, it would be overwhelmingly YES!
In one fell swoop we could cut off the drug lords in foriegn contries and stop most illegal smuggling of marijunna and the war on drugs can be a war on real drugs,herion,cocaine,meth,ect.
Thank you
