October 29, 2009, 9:21pm (report abuse)i'm a cannabis patient, and it is the only reason i'm still alive to be talking about it. cannabis may nott work for everyone for EVERYTHING, but it sure does a hell of a lot better than the 25% effective rate that pharmaceutical narcotics have, and i happen to be one of them. anytime anyone would like to discuss this matter, please don't hesitate to contact me at rwa420 at yahoo dot com and i would love to hear an opposing opinion, thanks everyone, have a good night

It is high time we did this in all other jurisdictions thorughout this country!!! H.R. 3939 is a half-step in the right direction!!!
