PATIENTS NEED LEGAL MEDICAL MARIJUANA

The front page of the June 7 Wausau Daily Herald contained a story about how medical marijuana patients can be prosecuted in states in which medical use of marijuana has been legalized.

I have multiple sclerosis and smoked pot illegally.  It helped my stiff leg, which became flexible and pain-free after used.  It would be cool for MS patients to be allowed to smoke marijuana.

Of course, then we wouldn't have to go to the doctor or pharmacist, and they would lose income.  Isn't it really all about the money?

I don't think it should be legal to grow marijuana at home.  Many of us are in great pain.  We're not really living, simply existing.
