LEGALIZE MEDICAL MARIJUANA

There are currently nine states that have legalized the use of medical
marijuana and with every day that goes by the data and research supporting
medical marijuana only gets stronger.

Most of this data comes from outside of the United States because other
countries get the big picture and have put the reefer madness era behind them.

Unfortunately the U.S. hasn't yet, but things are starting to look up.
There is ground-breaking research being done within the California
University system on head trauma and until recently this type of study
would never take place in this country. The researchers are very please at
how wonderful marijuana is and how versatile this plant is in treating
sever head trauma.

The Bush Administration has been a huge setback in the medical research
movement as well as a threat to ill patients themselves that require this
medicine and the doctors who recommend it. The Bush Administration as gone
as far as arresting and jailing terminally ill patients some of whom are
virtually on their death beds with cancer, MS, AIDS, etc.This ridiculous
and deadly attempt to punish the sick and dying had no success at all so
the Bush Administration started to attack the doctors with treats of taking
their license away just for talking to patients about medical marijuana.

On 10/14/03 the highest court of the land the United States Supreme Court
rejected an attempt by the Bush Administration to punish the doctors by
stripping them of their license. We as the citizens of this country have a
moral and ethical obligation to protect those that are sick and unfortunate.

I urge you all to contact your state representatives and tell them to
support medical marijuana. Those interested in doing more should contact
the Director of Communications at IMMLY Gary Storck (608) 241-8922.
