LEGALIZE MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Gov. Branstad said he is against legalizing marijuana for medical
use.The reason was that if marijuana became legal it would cause all
kinds of administrative problems.

It has been documented and confirmed that marijuana relieves people's
pain and suffering. It is more effective doing this than any other
medication for people with certain medical conditions.

Branstad should be figuring out how marijuana can be legalized to help
people reduce pain and suffering. This is a humanitarian issue, not a
political issue.

If Branstad really cares about people he should get the administrative
problems resolved and work to legalize medical marijuana.
