BERTRAM CLARIFIES EXPERIENCE WITH ISSUES

Thank you for your coverage of two important issues currently facing our community: medical cannabis and civil unions.  Unfortunately, there has been some misinformation regarding my personal life published regarding my experience with these two issues.

To clarify:

I do not currently use medical cannabis as the reasons for my usage have cleared up.

Although I caregive for a medical cannabis user, his usage has also ended successfully.

While I continue to support a good friend who is disabled through the reciprocal beneficiary program, I have no intention of entering into a civil union with anyone as that is against my spiritual beliefs, which also proscribe meat and alcohol and any other recreational drug.

I hope this clarifies my personal experience with these issues.

Rep.  Joe Bertram III
