FOLLOW DOCS' ORDERS

It is such a relief that the citizens of Michigan support the medical
usage of marijuana. I have seen my closest relatives suffer from the
pain and anxiety of cancer and the debilitating treatments used to
fight it. They do not deserve to go to jail for following their
doctors' orders.

Medical marijuana can relieve suffering cancer patients of their
continuous pain, as well as the nausea and vomiting caused by
chemotherapy, helping to keep them alive and well enough to keep
fighting cancer.

Michigan is on the right track in joining the 12 states that have
successfully implemented medical marijuana legislation.
