MARIJUANA AND OTHER HERBS HAVE BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES

Yes, I most definitely agree that the use of marijuana as a medicine
should be legal.

Marijuana and other herbs have been used for centuries as a form of
medicine. They are not like heroin, cocaine and other drugs.

My son passed away 10 years ago. The last two years of his life were
spent in increasing suffering each day.

One of his friends brought him some brownies and told me how much they
would help my son. Well, I found out they had marijuana in them. And,
yes, they did help him.

He also smoked marijuana during the last year of his suffering. It
really helped him with the nausea that was a side effect of the
medications he had to take.

It also helped him at times when he was filled with great distress
because he knew there was nothing that could be done about his illness.

Why can't the government see that there is a big difference between
people using marijuana as a form of medicine and people using drugs to
get high?
