MEDICAL CANNABIS

Due to numerous scientific studies from around the world, the AIDS
Action Council, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the
American Nurses Association, the American Preventive Medical
Association, the American Public Health Association, the Association
of Nurses in AIDS Care, the California Academy of Family Physicians,
the California Medical Association, the California Pharmacists
Association, Cure AIDS Now, the Florida Medical Association, the Los
Angeles County AIDS Commission, the Lymphoma Foundation of America and
too many more to list have endorsed medical cannabis
(marijuana).

Beyond science is the fact that in more than 5,000 years of documented
use, there is not one single dead body to show cannabis has ever
killed anyone.

There also is another way of looking at it. There was never any
scientific reason to prohibit the plant to begin with. If cannabis use
was legal today, there would be no scientific reason to prohibit it.

Scientifically, biblically and morally, caging sick humans for using
the God-given plant is wrong.
