I am 43 years old, and I am a medical marijuana patient living in Fresno, CA.
I use medical marijuana for a variety of reasons, including chronic pain from a back injury and depression.
Medical marijuana has changed my life for the better in many ways. It helps alleviate my pain, helps me fight depression, and helps me to sleep regularly. Medical marijuana also helps me to use far less prescription drugs than I would without it, and it helps keep my alcohol and tobacco use lower than they would be otherwise.
I can't say enough about how medical marijuana has helped me, and I only hope that current laws will be changed so that all people who can be helped by medical marijuana will have access to this important medicine.
Personal Statement:
Tax & Regulate Marijuana!
