MEDICAL POT BAN ENRICHES DRUG FIRMS

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Drug companies sell 
hundreds of millions of dollars in pain killers every year. Marijuana can 
easily be grown in anybody's back yard.

Sen. Kyl, how much money do you get from those drug companies to keep 
medicinal marijuana from the suffering people it could help?  You said the 
voters embarrassed you?  I find you an embarrassment.  How do you sleep 
knowing cancer victims have died in undescribable pain because you withheld 
a drug from them?  Shame on you.
