Too many people like myself have been put through the criminal justice system, based solely on the fact that they were in possession or assumed to be in possession of Marijuana. Marijuana has been PROVEN to kill cancer cells, and refortify healthy cells. It has been proven to help regenerate brain cells. It has been proven useful in a number of medical ailments including but not limited to Cancer, Autism, Dyslexia, ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease), and Schizophrenia. Marijuana has Never, Ever, in the history of Human kind, killed a human being. Alcohol kills at least 45,000 people a year, including my father. Cigarettes kill at least 100,000 a year, and Pharmaceuticals have killed nearly 200,000 a year due to "accidental" overdoses. Pharmaceuticals have killed more in accidental deaths than auto related deaths. If anyone doubts these statistics please see the film, "What if Cannabis Cured Cancer." Remember, even if you do not use or approve of the use of marijuana for ailments or personal use, the needs of the many, greatly out weigh the needs of the few. My brother and I would not be orphans today, if Marijuana had been legal. Let's follow Washington's example.
