POT CAN EASE PAIN WITHOUT DOING HARM

My partner is a chronic pain sufferer (failed back fusion). About 100,000 
die a year because  of overdoses or allergies to legal drugs. Cannabis 
(pot) helps ease pain, causes no death, but is the center of attention for 
erradication instead of research.

The system has twisted us all, and it's time for states to start standing 
up for their citizens and protect them and their doctors and caregivers 
from the viscious and heartless Drug Enforcement Administration.
