MARIJUANA FOR HEALTH

As a university student and Wisconsin resident, I'm outraged that only one
candidate for governor has supported the medical marijuana bill currently
before the Wisconsin state legislature. The reality is that sick people
deserve any remedy necessary to prevent them from pain, sickness, and death.

It is sad that the governor and the Democratic candidates have not come out
in support of medical marijuana. Worst of all, Congressman Tom Barrett
voted for a congressional resolution against states legalizing medical
marijuana.

Thankfully, there is an alternative.

Ed Thompson, an independently minded libertarian, has shown that he will
support the people of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Nurses Association in
their endorsement of medical marijuana for the ill. Why can't the
politicians in Madison just let sick and suffering patients receive
whatmany doctors think is their best medicine? It's time for
a big change.
