The extremely difficult situation both suppliers and purchasers find themselves in has dragged on for far too long. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. As a side-effect of the chemotherapy treatments, I was unable to eat, even with the synthetic THC pills that were prescribed. If it were not for the availability of marijuana, most likely I would have died. Melissa Eror Vancouver - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
