Please sign the change.org medical marijuana petition
Dennis Moyers should have been dead in the early 80s. He is alive because of medical marijuana.

http://www.change.org/actions/view/federal_medical_cannabis_liaison

Targeting: the President of the United States, Members of the U.S. Senate and Members of the U.S. House of Representatives, see more...Adam Smith (U.S. Representative/9th District), Maria Cantwell (U.S. Senator), Patty Murray (U.S. Senator), your Governor, Members of your State Senate, Members of your State House, the President of the United States, Members of the U.S. Senate and Members of the U.S. House of Representatives

Started by: Dennis Moyers

To raise awareness of Medical Cannabis (marijuana) Laws in the 14 States where they exist. To open lines of communication between law enforcement organizations (Police, Sheriff and other appropriate agencies), Medical Practitioners and Medical Cannabis Patient Groups, nationwide. To halt the effort to make examples of seriously ill people by some government officials who do not agree with voter approved legislation allowing some patients legal protection from prosecution for using a medicinal herb in certain specific situations. Such liaison should be a valid Medical Cannabis Patient. This liaison would be in effect, a communicator for, and a representative to the Medical Cannabis Patient Community nationwide, at large.



See also http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090401181217.htm for evidence that suggests that cannabinoids such as the main active component of marijuana (THC) have anticancer effects on human brain cancer cells.

2. My Best Friend also lived a lot longer because of Cannabis
He had AIDS and told his doctor that he smoked, she informed him that was probably the main reason he was still alive. Unfortunately, he had to go into the hospital where he wasn't allowed his medicine, they gave him Marinol but when you're having difficulties keeping food down a lot of good pills will do for you. He lived in the hospital for a month until the insurance company gave him (his parents) the option of a going home or having a drug overdose as the next best thing.

This was in Texas where we have strict anti-marijuana laws, this occurred in the late 80's and early 90's. He died in '93 :cry:
