CANNABIS WORKS

As a Colorado citizen who voted for Amendment 20 allowing people to use cannabis medicinally in my state, I urge Montana residents to vote for I-148 ( Medical Marijuana Act.  Now, Coloradoans use the plant cannabis, following state law simultaneously, and it works.  Since Colorado enacted its initiative, rates of juvenile cannabis use have not increased, and the sky hasn't fallen.  The government would like citizens to think cannabis is a chemical weapon of mass destruction.  In reality, it is one of those seed-bearing plants that God created and said is good on literally the very first page of the Bible.

For perspective, imagine a family member with cancer being allowed to self-induce morphine every six minutes for pain, but be prohibited from using cannabis.  That's the way I looked at it when my son was dying with leukemia.
