WHERE'S THE COMPASSION?

I run the Chico Cannabis Club. I see pain all the time in the members 
of the club. Every day I see people living who want to die. How a 
society cannot allow someone to stop the extreme pain they are in-and 
that is only going to get worse-is beyond me. Life is no life when 
you are in pain all the time. A debilitating disease faced by one of 
your family members can take its toll on everyone, not just the 
subject of pain. A healthy outlook for the nation is to stop the pain 
for everyone with dignity. Unless you like to see people suffer, this 
seems to be the most compassionate road for a civil society.
