I have waited for these last few months to find out if people are going to stop discriminating against those of us who choose this plant for relief and stop harassing those of us who choose to smoke our medicine, as it is often required to keep a meal down while we are out in public. We are not physically well people, hence our need for cannabis. Alison Myrden, The Medical Marijuana Mission, Burlington - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
