MEDICAL MARIJUANA WILL EASE SUFFERING

Fourteen states allow people who are suffering from serious conditions
like cancer, epilepsy and muscular dystrophy to use marijuana to make
their pain bearable. Let's be the fifteenth. Our state Senate has
already passed the "Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot
Program Act." Now it is up to the House. Let us make our legislators
aware of our sympathy with those who suffer and our wish that they
should not suffer needlessly.

The legislation being considered contains extensive regulations
concerning access, quantity and physician oversight. Let's give
compassion a try.
