MARIJUANA MAKES A DIFFERENCE

I'm 36 years of age, and born with cataracts in both eyes. I've been
smoking marijuana for 22 years. Over these years, I've found it aids
my vision (increasing my ability to see details), muscle spasms from
cerebral palsy, and arthritis. This is a very effective way of dealing
with my physical problems, much better than the large and long needles
and drugs the doctors "practice" on people with. The doctors would
rather spend millions of dollars to just study instead of treating the
problem.
