MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Opponents Would Force Critically Ill To Suffer

As a registered patient and the husband of a registered patient, I have
seen and experienced the positive effects of medical marijuana.

Medical marijuana users are not stoners, potheads or losers. We are humans
who are sick, dying and suffering from chronic illnesses that bring us to
our knees. We use a natural substance to help with our conditions.

Whether you believe in the medicinal value of marijuana or not, would you
deny a loved one the opportunity to try it to see if it can help them? I
hope not.

Ask any law enforcement officer who he would rather have an encounter with
- -- a marijuana user or a meth/crackhead. We are not violent, drug abusers
or worthless. We are patients.
