Please Pass This Bill

Millions of people live with chronic neuropathic pain for which there is no known cure.

A recent study from the University of California Davis established the benefits of medicinal marijuana for individuals suffering from chronic neuropathic pain.

Please end the persecution of millions of people who live with daily pain.

Common Sense

This is really a no brainer.

After Some Research

Studies of "medical marijuana" may have shown positive results with patients (this was also said to be true of scientific research involving LSD and cocaine) but we cannot ignore the scientific research speaking to reason.
Fact: there are over 400 chemicals at work in "medical marijuana".
Fact: "medical marijuana" is NOT the only form of marijuana medicine.
Fact: there are FDA approved medications (ie: Marinol) which are constructed from the THC chemical that is so potent in marijuana, which specifically relieves the affects of chemotherapy in cancer patients, the ailments of those suffering from MS and Scoliosis, etc.
Fact: it is much safer for a patient to take a controlled form of specific chemicals that to fill the brain and blood stream with over 400.
Conclusion: "Medical Marijuana," as it is NOT in fact a medicine, while perceived to be helpful is in fact harmful.
