This is a letter to tell your readers how marijuana has helped me. After being diagnosed with lupus after my second child’s birth I live every day with this nightmare. Shots, steroids, pills, synthetic pills that have warning labels longer than my resume and other treatment methods.
Did you know that marijuana helps my joints, helps me feel better, helps my appetiite and I have been able to get rid of most of my prescription pills. When I read the news about those that fight my choice to combat my pain I am deeply saddened. What did I do to you?
The federal governmennt, pharmacy board and cops all have motives that don’t align with my well being. This is a war, my self against lupus and a bigger battle of me against you if you don’t agree with my medication choices.
