LEGALIZE MEDICAL CANNABIS IN IOWA

I completely agree with The Gazette's April 8 editorial "Don't delay 
expansion of medical cannabis" favoring the legalization of medical cannabis.

As well as lessening the pains and suffering from cancers and 
epileptic seizures, I'm betting it will be found to also help with 
the discomfort of other diseases like Crohn's and IBS (which I have).

I'd gladly be a volunteer to see if that's true if it would be 
legalized. Also, being what's commonly called a "recovering" 
alcoholic, I know alcohol gives temporary relief but also causes 
damage to the brain, liver and kidneys. I doubt cannabis oil, being 
from a natural plant, would cause any such damage.
