STOP WASTING TAX DOLLARS ON MARIJUANA

The medical efficacy of marijuana has been repeatedly established over the last 30 years with numerous reports and studies done by governmental, medical and scholarly organizations.

Marijuana is a naturally occurring substance that is far safer than many of the legal alternatives, having fewer side effects, less addiction potential and no realistically achievable toxicity level.  It is known to relieve the debilitating nausea, appetite loss and pain associated with the treatments given to HIV, cancer and Hepatitis C sufferers, thus enabling them to have increased nutrition, quality of life and the will to live and continue their treatment.  While a doctor can prescribe cocaine and morphine, terminally ill patients who find marijuana helps them are forced to get their medication off the streets and risk incarceration.  There are numerous medical organizations and national periodicals that publicly back the use of medical marijuana.

Thirteen states have already made its use legal.  The information is out there.  Do your research, inform yourself.  Please stop wasting our taxes sending sick people to jail.
