IT IS HEART-WRENCHING TO WATCH
I absolutely believe that the medicinal use of marijuana should be
legal.
If medicinal marijuana would give a patient some relief when he or she
is undergoing chemotherapy and suffering from extreme nausea, it
should be made available.
I watched two of my dearest friends and my father-in-law suffer
terribly.
They all knew that their prognosis was fatal. And if they could have
had a way to get through those periods of pain and suffering, it would
have made the final months of their lives so much more bearable.
It is heart-wrenching to watch a loved one endure such agony and not
be able to afford them moments of comfort and give them their dignity.
