ALLOW LOVED ONES TO HAVE RELIEF FROM PAIN

I am the daughter of a mother who vomited more than 15 times daily
after having chemotherapy treatments. With the use of marijuana, she
stopped vomiting.

She died 27 years ago and I witnessed the salvation marijuana offered.
I am now married and my husband suffers from severe eye pain, spasms
and body pain from multiple sclerosis. With the use of marijuana this
pain dissipates and it helps take away unexpected spasms throughout
his body.

I have seen firsthand the significant relief marijuana offers. For
those who have not seen the pain and humiliation one suffers during
illnesses, please open your eyes and allow dignity into the lives of
these people. Please vote "yes" to legalize medical marijuana.
