Michael Weyend, 57, New York City

"I've battled HIV/AIDS for 20 years, and medical marijuana has been an important part of my treatment, helping with appetite and mood. My doctor is in complete support of my medical use of marijuana, but our state still makes using this valuable medicine a crime. It's past time to follow the lead of 12 other compassionate states and allow patients to use this safe and effective medicine."
If you are a New Yorker, please write your state senator in support of allowing medical marijuana here or call him or her here.
