New York Medical Marijuana Testimonials

Burton Aldrich

In this TV ad, Burton Aldrich, a quadriplegic from Kingston, N.Y., explains how medical marijuana helps with his excruciating pain and spasms and says, "I … don't know if I would be around if it wasn't for marijuana." Viewers are urged to ask the state Senate to make New York the 13th state to allow medical marijuana.

Kevin Smith, M.D.

Dr. Kevin Smith, a forensic psychiatrist, experienced relief from his painful genetic condition through the use of medical marijuana in the Netherlands. He explains, “To have a day without pain, to be able to sleep is just ... it's a gift from heaven, I’ll tell you." Dr. Smith will not break New York law to relieve his pain, and he urges the  state Senate to enact medical marijuana legislation.
