My sympathies to her on her illness, but my frowns to her on her narrow-minded opinion: "Personally, I think the patients who will benefit from marijuana if they are gravely ill or in their final days..." I suggest she talks to Grant Krieger or any of the thousands of people marijuana has helped to reduce their suffering and improve their quality of life, before she invokes the "Reefer Madness Syndrome." Just because she didn't know what she was doing, was uninformed and had a bad experience.
