LEGAL MARIJUANA IS A NO-BRAINER

Marijuana helps me a great deal. It helps me deal with my chronic pain
and raises my spirits.

Simply put, I function better when I smoke marijuana. I am on
Supplemental Security Income and am very disabled. I live on a fixed
income. Marijuana is not legal yet, so it is expensive. More expensive
than alcohol, but safer.

Please legalize my medicine soon. An added bonus resulting from
legalization would be all the taxes the state would receive. It's a
no-brainer.
