The limitations in life for those afflicted with debilitating diseases like multiple sclerosis, ALS, Crohn's disease and many others are significant. They endure pain so intractable their doctors write multiple prescriptions for narcotics just so they can make it through the day.
Many of these patients have a very low quality of life, yet they have a strong will to live and fight their diseases. For some, the only relief they can get is through medical marijuana. It alleviates chronic pain, eliminates nausea almost instantly, and helps patients who experience spasms and other symptoms.
Proposal 1 was written with these patients in mind. It will allow them to quietly and privately get the relief they need. |
