These guys have an opportunity to do something potentially-life changing for so many sick people here in Pennsylvania but it seems too many of them are either too ill informed or maybe just too-closed minded to see the benefits of the what I call "weed extract." We have too many people on chemo who are just fading away from lack of appetite, and we have too many more who are suffering from seizures to just ignore. All these folks want is a chance at a better life and the folks on the Hill have a moral obligation to do the right thing. So, lawmakers, when you guys go to church this week, if you do go to church, or where ever you may go, please take time and try to find a conscience, and follow it. Lastly, please read the brochures, you'll be surprised that there is actually more to marijuana than a joint hanging on your lips. BUZZ LATTUCA, Swatara Twp. - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
