MARIJUANA MAY HELP EASE PAIN

Three years ago my older brother was involved in a work-related
accident that left him with spinal injuries and now constant pain. He
is going to talk to his doctor about using marijuana to ease the
pain, and so I am very thankful we have a place around here where he can go.

Until people have been in the kind of pain Kevin has to deal with
every moment of his life they can't appreciate how desperate we are
to find any kind of relief. He's only 37 and deserves a better
quality of life than he has now, and I believe marijuana will help
him even if only temporarily so he can at least get some sleep.

I have been reading every article in the paper about medical
marijuana and would like to know what the medical community thinks of
marijuana. I suspect they will say there are more traditional pain
management methods that they offer, but we've gone that route and it
hasn't made that much a difference.
