HELPS RELIEVE THE PAIN

Here's my two cents in support of a yes vote for medical marijuana. I 
am 77 with back pain called sciatica. I have used every pill, 
injection, X-ray and specialist that my insurance will provide, plus 
$7,000 of my own money for time on a chiropractor's wonder machine, 
all complete failures. Hydrocodone usually helps slightly.

Twice I smoked a half of a marijuana cigarette. Both times the pain 
was completely gone in 20 minutes. Recreational use? I have no opinion.
