MEDICAL MARIJUANA MAKES ME MAD

I just go blind with rage whenever I hear the term "medical
marijuana."

(Someone I know) has been smoking pot since he was 16 and a student at
Albany Union High School. He graduated to pills and cocaine. He
finally was able to get himself somewhat clean. I say somewhat,
because he started drinking to replace the drugs. Eventually, he and
his girlfriend shopped around and found a doctor who would give them a
so-called "medical marijuana" card.

Now they cultivate, and grow the most potent plants they can, and
smoke dope all day long, when home. He claims he needs this for his so
called "back pain."

I'm sorry, but I have been suffering back pain since 1967, and have
had two surgeries that left me with nerve damage to my legs and now
severe arthritis to my low back. I am in constant pain, and I do not
need the use of pain pills or "medical marijuana" to function.

I strongly feel that there are many people abusing this law just to be
able to get legal drugs.
