UNDERSTANDING THE PLANT

Wake up, America. Medical marijuana could one day help you or your
loved one. Enough studies have already proven the profound benefits
for certain people with chronic conditions or diseases. The federal
government's role in preventing access to reputable pharmaceuticals
made from the chemicals in marijuana is absurd. I have been a medical
professional for 37 years, and I believe education is the key to
understanding the plant and the process. Laws need to change.
