Helping with the headaches

I'm a 31 year old male that has been run through the ringer and back , with all the surgeries and treatments.. I was diagnosed with a Stage 3 Anaplastic Astrocytoma Brain Tumor..And my team of doctors have racked their brains for answers on medications to help with , sezures and pain , that come along with the burden of having this disease.. And the only thing they can come up with when it comes to the pain such as my , feet , hands , head , left arm and leg after a sezure.. Is Lortab 10....What a Joke!!! So I found that smoking a small bowl , or a joint , fixes the problem. And your not putting Very Toxic

Chemicals in your body.. SO....Who is to say what we can and cant do in our Country of "Freedom"..Yes there are Laws that have to be inforced. But, we all have to remember who and what we are:If you understand the Constitution "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America"

Read the first lines , WE THE PEOPLE...are the Government..

So who are these high and mighty rollers standing on their soap boxes??NOBODY!!! Hell the more than likely do really hard drugs , and all we want is something that actually helps us..

The only reason Our Government will probably never make it legal, is because they cant control it..Well I've said a small bit of my piece..But like I've been saying since 7th grade

it might be good for your health, but surely smoking still has an harmfull effect on the body

weed kills brian cancer

look at this

medical marijuana

I started smoking back in high achool. When I had my children I stopped for several years. But then started having medical problems. Smoking pot can & does help. It keeps my nerves calm, gives me an appetite, will settle stomach problems, helps tremeously with sleeping, finally it dulls the pain I have every day all day. If this helps people that need help by all means let them. If you don't agree, then turn away because most of you would if you knew someone needed help.

cannabis as the Biblical tree of life

To the Editor,

Not only is cannabis (marijuana) able to help humans medically

(Pennsylvania Ponders Legalizing Medical Marijuana, Mar. 30, 2009), it was created to do so from the beginning. Many people know of cannabis as the Biblical tree of life and the very last page of the Bible tells

us the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations.

Ending the luciferous practice of caging sick humans for using

cannabis is Biblically correct since Christ God Our Father, The

Ecologician indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants, saying

they are all good, on literally the very first page. The only Biblical

restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be accepted with

thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5). And "But whoever has the world's

goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him,

how does the love of God abide in him?" (1 John 3:17). Jesus Christ

risked jail to heal the sick.

medicinal marijuana

Notwithstanding any of this, without weed I, a cancer patient under-going chemotherapy, would probably starve to death. Americans have to get over this mindless paranoia about marijuana. Its a life saver.
