My living makes a lie of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that marijuana has no legitimate medical use. It was marijuana crushed into powder and mixed in chicken broth that did what Phenagan, Lortab or any other drug could not do for my alcoholic cirrhosis. It stopped the nausea, eased the pain and relieved the crushing depression. Better yet, it gave me back my appetite which enabled me to come back from a 95- pound skeleton. Gradually I was able to eat solid food with the help of brownies and other baked goods laced with marijuana. I owe my life to the weed and it has helped thousands of others with various nauseating maladies. The Supreme Court was wrong and ignored the facts in this case. They were biased as most people are by calling this herb a drug, associating it with cocaine, heroin and other nasty stuff. Joe Royals Pensacola - --- MAP posted-by: Beth
