A humane option

The New Hampshire Legislature is once again trying to help patients have access to medical marijuana. It is under deliberation by the Health and Human Services and Elderly Affairs Committee, until March 10.



Marijuana has been proven to safely and effectively alleviate side effects of cancer-fighting medicines. It has been proven a safe and effective treatment for many ailments, including but definitely not limited to cancer, AIDS, fibromyalgia, glaucoma, anxiety, depression, alcohol addiction, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple sclerosis and muscle spasms. It is cruel to deny any person a safe and effective means of treating an ailment - and beyond words to make them criminals to do so. It is a huge waste of our time, energy, resources and especially tax dollars to arrest, prosecute and penalize sick people.



I urge you all to have a heart and contact your legislators. Tell them to vote Yes on HB 442.
