You may be asked by paid people at a festival. Marijuana is not a medicine. It does not cure anything. The American Cancer Society, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, National Glaucoma Society and others do not support marijuana as a medicine. A synthetic form of THC called Marinol is available in pill form. Marijuana is addictive and promotes using other illicit drugs. It permanently lowers the IQ of young users and can cause destructive emotional changes. Fifteen "investors" will pay $500,000 each to be a growing site. It is not really about helping people - it's about making money. There's no such thing as "medical" marijuana. Please don't sign.
