MORE FACTS NEEDED ABOUT MARIJUANA

Regarding Stan Gierhan's letter that Marinol is available for medical
marijuana consumers: Marinol is not marijuana. Marinol only consists
of the psychoactive property tetrahydrocannabinol delta 9.

The anti-convulsant property, cannabidiol (CBD), is not part of
Marinol, therefore inferior to natural state marijuana. If one's
epilepsy is cardiologically related, then THC is effective for
stabilizing heart rate. If one's epilepsy is brain-related, then CBD
is 90 percent effective for blocking seizure disorder.

Since childhood, I have been victimized by our medical profession in
respect to unauthorized chemical and surgical experimentation, which
only made my epilepsy worse, not better. It was a major relief to
discover marijuana so effective for blocking convulsive disorder.

A joint in front of me is better than a unauthorized lobotomy.
