For me, it is a life and death issue. I have an inoperable tumor inside the spinal cord and the ONLY proven medicine to shrink this tumor is marijuana. I will not be silenced, there are others like me out there. All cancer patients can benefit from medicinal marijuana and should not fear their government to do the right thing. I have written to Governor Sanford about my condition and my views on medical marijuana, Governor Sanford would rather support harsh, unjust and barbaric laws against marijuana than look at the proven, scientific research that shows marijuana is a safe, effective medicine for cancer and many other diseases. You may know someone with cancer, support the S.220 medical marijuana bill and write your governor and legislatures, don't give up!
