WEED WORKS MIRACLE

Feb. 27 I will have been alive four years longer than medical science said 
I would. 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.
