COURT SHOULD TAKE DRUG'S BENEFITS INTO ACCOUNT

I must say, "It's about time." Finally the U.S. Supreme Court will make a
ruling on one of the issues about marijuana.

I have seen with my own eyes the benefits of this so-called drug. I've seen
relatives and friends with cancer and AIDS use this substance and it works.
Everyone knows about the "munchies;" it helps sick people keep their food
and medications in their stomachs, where they belong.

What is so terrible about that? I hope and pray that the Supreme Court makes
the right decision.
