This letter is to advise you that up until two years ago, as a certified teacher and parent, I was an unbending advocate against marijuana and thought of it as “street drugs”.
After learning about medical marijuana from my childs doctors and doing extensive research on the use of marijuana to treat the conditions my child is afflicted with, we decided to try it for him.
My son is now off all the prescription pills which had such serious side effects, he had ended up in the hospital numerous times. With the use of medical marijuana I can honestly say he has not experienced a single seizure while using marijuana as his course of treatment.
His chronic pain is now almost non-existent, no migraines, and his asthma requires about half of the nebulizer and rescue breather treatments he endured prior to his natural, amazing and effective medicine.
I thank you for the work you do. I am more than grateful to you for the professionalism, kindness and compassion shown by the people who make your clinic an asset to our community.
Sincerely,
Margaret Webb, C.D.A.
