Thanks for putting these up!

That was a great speech. Especially his points on Rx drugs.

I take 0 Prescriptions largely in part due to cannabis & a few other herbs. I know people with the same issues & have died from the pills that were supposed to make life livable.

Cannabis prohibition must end & people must be given the option to treat their bodies illnesses with this plant. Safe Medicine is a term that can only be applied to Natures medicines & we should have a natural right to them all.
