After surgery for my dislocated and broken shoulder I awoke to the tremendous burning pain of nerve damage. There was no relief for it. I tried every pain medication they gave me. All those pills did nothing to provide relief. All those pills made me so very ill. I was at the end of my rope. I couldn't live like this, no rest, no sleep. Pain. At the insistent urging of a friend I finally gave in and tried marijuana. I know I am alive today because I gave in and tried marijuana. It provided relief for the nerve pain. It helped me sleep. It saved my life. You may not be interested in using marijuana for yourself. But know there are many people like me living in this great state. People who have found that nothing else works for them like medical marijuana. I'm asking you to remember this when you vote in November. Let's return the law to the original intent of the voters. It really is in your hands to decrease the suffering of others. Please vote yes on I-182. MichaelAnne Beighley Bozeman - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
