I'M GLAD THAT WILKIE CAN USE MARIJUANA

Good for Sherrie Wilkie. She has moved to California where she can use all
the marijuana she wants for her illness and pain. I have never smoked
cigarettes in my life, but if I thought it would help by smoking marijuana
for my illness and pain, I would use it all day long.

Our government will not stop tobacco companies from making cigarettes, even
though it knows cigarettes are addictive and that they cause lung cancer
and other illnesses. Why won't they stop the companies? Because Washington
and the states would lose millions of dollars in tax revenues.

You will not get arrested for smoking cigarettes, which harms your health.
So why do you get arrested for smoking marijuana, which does not cause you
any more harm that I know of.

Some people say they smoke cigarettes to relax and to ease stress. Isn't
that why people use marijuana? Some people do not know what illness and
severe pain is -- but they will know when they get old.
