One of the things that the citizens of Michigan will be voting on this year is proposition 1. Proposition 1 will legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes.

According to the proposition, a doctor can write a prescription for the use of marijuana. This prescription will allow the recipient to grow up to 12 marijuana plants per year.

My mother died of a heart attack after she spent the night violently vomiting from the chemo she had taken earlier that day. Perhaps if she had smoked a joint she would have made it through the treatment.

Back in the 70s, the city of Ann Arbor made marijuana possession a misdemeanor which carried a five dollar fine. People predicted that Ann Arbor would become a safe haven for every pot head in the country. It didn’t.

One of my carpoolers takes methadone several times a day for his back pain. It is a prescription medicine and a whole lot more dangerous than pot and a hundred times stronger.

Now granted, I don’t believe that we need another recreational drug but lets get real. If it will help someone get through their chemo or relieve their glaucoma, then why not?

I wonder if you will be able to buy the seeds from Burpees?
