Jim Sacia and the other three local House members who voted no on the recent Medical Marijuana bill, SB 1381. What we have here is a mindset called "Reefer Madness Mentality," which is caused by years of government lies, distortions and propaganda. To deny relief to sick and suffering people is inhumane. We now have 15 states and Washington D.C. that allow the compassionate use of medical marijuana. Let's hope that Illinois will be next. Steve Larson Stockton - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
