In my opinion
Legalize Medical Marijuana
I for one am concerned about the lack of public knowledge regarding the t***h about medical marijuana. I have completed my Associates Degree in Applied Arts and Sciences, from Lone Star College Montgomery, December 15, 2013. I also earned a Human Services Certificate. I have taken seven Drug and Alcohol classes. (That’s 21 college credit hours). I have done hundreds of hours of research on this issue.
I am not a drug user, I do not drink, and I am a Christian Concretive. I am challenging everyone reading this letter to do their own homework before you make a personal decision as weather or not to legalize medical marijuana. I encourage you to go on the internet to learn that the human body has thousands of cannabis receptor sites. Also the human body has an Endocannabinoid System with in it. Did you know that the most harmful drugs to the human body are legal? Namely; tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, sugar cane are on top of the list. Go on line and find out the facts for each one, and you may be surprised that marijuana is not even on the 25 most harmful to you. There has been propaganda from all kinds of medical professionals who maybe being paid by the big drug companies to make marijuana a bad thing. After doing my own research I cannot trust any more negative data coming from the M.D.A., the F.D.A., and any other credentials behind their name.
I have also been doing research to see if marijuana could be the cure for Cancer. I challenge you to the same. Use your internet search engine, enter, Does marijuana cure Cancer? What an eye opener you will discover. Yes it does, all kinds of cancer. If my doctor tells me that I have cancer again, (I am cancer survivor) I am going to go as fast as I can to Colorado or California to seek out the marijuana cure!
I had a carsoma of the unary bladder duct when I was in my early teens, I was not supposed to live past my 16th birthday. However, my Urologist made up a reddish colored solution that the FDA would not approve because it may have cannabis oil in it. I am very glad that that Urologist used it on me. Along with prayer, God’s Holy Spirit, cured me. Here its 2014, and I’m alive to write this letter.
I encourage you to do your own research on this issue. Let our elected officials in Austin know your findings. Most of our elected officials will take action on feel good legislation and overlook the facts as they pertain to legalizing medical marijuana. Let them know that it’s okay to legalize medical marijuana in Texas.

Someday the name "Rick Simpson" will be a household name. He will be known as the man who rediscovered the cure for cancer by everyone. Rick's journey to finding the cure for cancer starts back in 2003. In 2003 Rick was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma skin cancer. He had 3 spots of cancer on his body. 2 on his face and 1 on his neck. Rick's decision on how to handle this diagnosis would be world changing. -

In 1974 researchers learned that THC, the active chemical in cannabis, shrank or destroyed tumors in test mice. But the DEA quickly shut down the study and destroyed its results, which were never replicated -- until now.

The term medical marijuana took on dramatic new meaning in February, 2000 when researchers in Madrid announced they had destroyed incurable brain tumors in rats by injecting them with THC, the active ingredient in cannabis.

She Wolf Loc: Currently Georgia

We should follow in Colorado's footsteps. Just legalize marijuana. Don't put it in the hands of the medical industry. I have MS, I do not use marijuana but many people in my support group do. It slows the progression of the disease. My doctors have encouraged me to just use the herb but it is against the law in my state.

The new studies in Europe indicate this herb works better for people with PTSD then any of the drugs currently used with far less side effects. It's all about money. Big pharm. can't control the price and it is very easy to grow so our people are denied the use. Georgia recently made it legal for doctors to prescribe the oil but made none available. Catch 22 American style.

Our so called representatives have proven over and over again how little they care for the people. The i***ts should consider the only thing they do care about: MONEY. Place a tax on pot. Think of the cash they could steal. Stop making the drug dealers rich. People who smoke are going to just as people who drank did during prohibition. Why shouldn't we make the money instead of the Mexican Cartel? Marijuana does far less damage than alcohol and in more enlightened societies has proven to have many medicinal uses.

Of course I live in one of the most backward states in the union. People in Georgia will have to wait for the federal government to make marijuana legal which with all the money big Pharm. pays our representatives will probably never happen.
