Marijuana as Medicine!

I was in a serious car accident on Jan. 5, 1997. I have chronic pain in my back and other complications. I have chosen to use marijuana as a natural but illegal substance for my medical needs. I, like millions of others, consider marijuana a much safer medicine than many that have been prescribed to me in the past.
Last year, I was protesting Rep. Robert E. Andrews' planned vote against the "Medical Marijuana Bill" before Congress. I demonstrated my use of marijuana as a medicine twice, once at Andrews' office in Haddon Heights and again at the Democratic Party headquarters in Cherry Hill.I was arrested.Citizens such as myself who have decided to use whatever medicine works for us, regardless of its legal status, feel vindicated by a new federal report that supports the use of marijuana as a medicine. Vindication isn't what is right, though. What is right is dismissal of all charges against citizens who can prove they use marijuana for medical needs.Or make marijuana legal.Ed Forchion,Browns MillsNews article found by Cryote!Thanks Cryote!
