    • Lyme disease encompasses several of these conditions along with dozens more. And I can assure you that MJ offers tremendous relief - especially for those of us who live with chronic pain.

    • This would make me happy if they would just legalize it already. At least in the medical sense. Alzheimer's runs in my family and my grandfather died with it. So for my familys case i hope they do something soon.

    • Eight more reasons to end the unreasonable war on cannabis. Isn't it time for this kind of information to become mainstream? Everything is controlled by news cycles. If facts are not included in our so called news cycles, it's not reported to mainstream.

      It's time to come out of the closet. Let your voices be heard. President Obama and Congress should rethink cannabis laws. Richard Nixon added cannabis to the Dangerous Substance List. President Obama could remove cannabis from the Dangerous Substance List and let the conversation begin.

      Available facts do not support cannabis placement on the Dangerous Substance List. Richard Nixon didn't serve his full term, yet his ridiculous changes to the Dangerous Substance List has stayed on the books for over 30 years. It's time to reexamine the wrongs of Richard Nixon and others who chose to lead with misinformation and lies.

      Lies and disinformation have kept cannabis on the list. It's time for honesty and truth to prevail.
