Marijuana Policy Project

"In 1988, I became badly broken in a motor vehicle rollover. My primary diagnosis was quadriplegia, incomplete. Through hard work and good luck, I regained function in my limbs, but I still suffer from very significant and constant pain. The only drug more effective than cannabis for me is oxycodone. But, it comes with serious side effects, including addiction. My doctor supports my medical use of cannabis, which lets me keep the oxycodone use to a minimum. Please remove the most serious side effect medical cannabis has: its legal status in our state."
