A lot of people use cannabis for their illnesses with great results, and a lot use cannabis for daily enjoyment as well as for an effective medicine to reduce pain. Now is the time to stand up and say to the government and police authorities that enough is enough.We need a decriminalization bill passed that is fair, allowing people to grow a little bit for themselves. I smoke pot and I stand behind Marc Emery. No more closet smoking -- it's time to fight for our rights. Shawn Heise Victoria - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
