MEDICAL MARIJUANA WOULD HELP PATIENTS' DAILY SUFFERING

I strongly support the Medical Marijuana Patients' Rights Act (HB66)
in the Alabama Legislature.

I am a chronic pain patient and have tried all the strong drugs such
as oxycontin, morphine, hydrocodone, valium and soma. Not to mention
I've had 10 epidural injections and 12 nerve block injections. Nothing
has helped, and I wish I had an alternative such as medical marijuana
to try to ease the pain and suffering I live with daily.

Not many people know what is feels like to hurt so bad you wish you
were somebody else. I urge everyone to talk to politicians, business
leaders, clergy, friends and family to try and get this bill passed
this year to help so many like me who are tired of being in pain every
minute of every day.

Thank you, and God bless those of us who are suffering.
