QUALITY OF LIFE

To the Editor:

"Hemp For Victory" was a short educational film, put out by the
Department Of Agriculture in 1942 to strengthen the war effort. This
encouraged farmers to grow as much hemp as possible. This plant has so
many uses and is very strong. If they were to make a film today about
the benefits of hemp/cannabis, the list would go on.

When this plant is grown properly, it also can be used for medicine in
a variety of ways. Many states already have accepted cannabis as a
medicine, and the number of compassionate states is growing. Would you
show compassion today and take a few moments of your time to call your
state representative and let them know that you support House Bill 30?
This bill will help those who are sick to enjoy a better quality of
life.
