You’re sick. Someone offers you marijuana, saying that it will alleviate your suffering. Do you take it?

MY CHOICE!!!
I volunteered for military service in 1968 during Vietnam I first used MJ in 1971 while serving my country. I have a history of depression in my family my mother was given electro shock treatments (scary, draconian, dangerous but legal) I found weed helped with my depression plus it helps you sleep. I know others that it helps with a variety of problems mental and physical. I am now 60 and it still helps with my problems so why are we put in jail for its use? Simple the major drug companies do not want you to have access to a weed you can grow in your yard and has the potential to replace 80% of the drugs they push. It would cost them billons in profits so how do you eliminate the competition. Pay our so-called leaders millions through PACs to ensure they keep a weed illegal. They enslave, jail, make us felons, destroy our lives and refuse to represent the 75% they are sworn to represent. Continuing the travesty by keeping a god given weed illegal to protect corporate profits!!
