The use of marijuana for medical reasons is a controversial issue, but
numerous studies have suggested that it has medical value in treating
patients with serious illnesses such as AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis,
epilepsy, glaucoma, and chronic pain. This is especially true for patients
for whom conventional therapies are ineffective. Marijuana then becomes an
important way to reduce their suffering. Please help keep access to this
relief open. The Bush Administration unfortunately continues to arrest
medical marijuana patients and their caregivers even though twelve states
have legalized marijuana for medical use. But a bill was recently introduced
in Congress that would protect patients and their caregivers, let states set
their own medical marijuana policies, and change marijuana's legal status so
doctors can prescribe it. Please support this bill and help protect medical
marijuana patients.
