WHO IS MAKING THESE LAWS?

I just finished reading the proposed medical marijuana changes.

Are you kidding me?

The law was voted by the people of Maine. Why is there always someone 
who doesn't need medical marijuana who is trying to control how it is 
grown or distributed?

The cost of seeing a doctor who charges $300 for a 10 minute visit 
and the cost of the medical marijuana are bad enough. So let's make 
it more expensive so that we who need it can't afford it at all.

I have an idea: If you don't use it for medical reasons, then keep 
your opinion to yourself.

Most people have no idea how it is to be racked with constant pain 
with the only choice other that hard drugs that helps is medical marijuana.

How about the feeling of nausea all day? I bet the people making 
noise about how to change things couldn't stand one day of what some 
of us have to endure every day, with broken bodies from serving our 
country or other reasons.

I know that other people with other issues also need some relief from 
whatever they need it for and are approved by a doctor.

In my case my choice is either prescription drugs that are highly 
addicting and have all kinds of side effects, or medical marijuana.

What would you choose if it were you?
