First I dont want anyone to get me wrong Marijuina does have alot of good medical use.
I dont believe it does CH any good one little bit.
I `m on the board of the MMP which stand`s for
Medical Marijina Project. I do believe it has alot of natural healing in it. I fight for the right of ppl in wheelchair`s that suffer from spasam`s,MS,Glaucoma,AID`s and many many other use`s is has in helping the sick. Did you know there is more than just TCH that help`s people. There is over 2000 different natural drug in Marijiuna. But not for CH. I do not use it personally, But I`m fighting for my hubby`s right`s. In Missoui it is not legall.
My hubby is in a wheelchair and suffer`s daily from spasem`s. He broke his back over 17 year`s ago. The doctor`s have him on 80mg`s of dizepam, 4-6 Tylenol with codine, Lorcet 1050 now if my hubby was to take all this he would be a zombie. He would`nt be able to function in sociaty at all. He would need 24 hour care. He choose`s not to be that way. Mariujuana cut`s back on the spasam`s. He can live a normal life style. Sometime`s he does take his med`s , but not how the doctor`s have perscribed them. He has even had doctor`s state to him in the privace of thier office, with the door close I quote "The best thing for you is to smoke or eat pot." You can not get a doctor to say this in public. So has I fight for his right`s. I also fight for the right of the CH suffer. I have never been the type to set back and not do anything. So I have put myself imposation`s where I could be arrested, but let me remind you I do not smoke it. So thier`s not much they can do.It`s my legally right for freedom of speach. I`ll keep preaching till some hear`s me and does something about it.
I know some of you CH suffer`s think`s it help your CH. I have to disagree with you on that.
I`m one of you so I do know what I`m sayng. I`m also living with a man that does need it. So I think I have the right to speak out on this issue.
Hug`s Linda B
