SHOW SOME COMPASSION

The limitations in life for those afflicted with debilitating 
diseases like multiple sclerosis, ALS, Crohn's disease and many 
others are significant. They endure pain so intractable their doctors 
write multiple prescriptions for narcotics just so they can make it 
through the day.

Many of these patients have a very low quality of life, yet they have 
a strong will to live and fight their diseases. For some, the only 
relief they can get is through medical marijuana. It alleviates 
chronic pain, eliminates nausea almost instantly, and helps patients 
who experience spasms and other symptoms.

Proposal 1 was written with these patients in mind. It will allow 
them to quietly and privately get the relief they need.
