IS THERE ANY REASON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD DENY MEDICINAL RELIEF TO 
PEOPLE IN PAIN?

No. I lost a son to cancer who benefited from the medicinal use of pot. It 
is ludicrous to keep this from people with terminal illiness if they can 
get comfort or relief from pain. This is one area I disagree with the 
federal government about. There should be a way to make available the help 
and also not set the wrong example to our next generation in regard to 
moderation and sensible judgment.
