WASTE OF TIME

The government should not be wasting time trying to put sick patients
in jail when they use medical marijuana to ease their suffering.
Numerous studies show that medical marijuana is effective in treating
patients with debilitating diseases such as multiple sclerosis and
cancer.

Protecting medical marijuana patients from arrest can bring people
back into society who currently lack effective treatment and are
crippled by their symptoms.

Michigan should stand on the side of compassion and care, not
senselessly punish people who are trying to care for themselves. I am
looking forward to voting yes on the medical marijuana proposal if
it's put on the ballot!
