MARIJUANA BILL

It is sad to see that the medical marijuana bill has died in the Texas
Senate. The senators took it upon themselves to decide its fate rather
than let the citizens of Texas vote on it. This is a sad state of
affairs for people like me, who did not have the economic resources to
obtain low-cost pain and nausea management. I fully suspect the
American drug companies stopped the bill because they could not get
their dirty hands on any form of revenue from it. May God have mercy
on us all.
