POGROM AGAINST CANNABIS 3 of 3

Unlike the letter writer who works in narcotics enforcement, our family
knows the real truth of pain, suffering and even death when it comes to
medical marijuana use.

Our beloved aunt used it to relieve the pain, anxiety and nausea in her
courageous fight against breast cancer through two radical surgeries,
chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant and several radiation treatments.

She faced leaving a young son without a mother. She always strongly stated
that the medical marijuana was the most effective drug she used to
alleviate the suffering she endured.

Even if medical marijuana users are not terminally ill, who are those to
judge their illness or pain?
