To Kay Daniel: The only thing “stupid” about marijuana is sending people to jail for using it. Millions die annually worldwide from totally legal alcohol and tobacco sold by “respectable” and “legitimate” businesses. How “stupid” is that, Ms. Daniel? What is the source of your information that the bill “will harm far more youth than the number of chronically and terminally ill patients it is supposed to help”?

This bill stomps all over the rights of local law makers and corporations to protect families and workers. In states with Medical marijuana, youth marijuana usage rates have doubled. Recent studies show that marijuana use among youth causes a perminent drop in IQ by up to 8 points. Who wants to get stupid? – Go smoke your brains away! This will harm far more youth than the number of chronically and terminally ill patients it is supposed to help.

No one can tell me they know how I feel not even a person that has MS too because no two people gets the same sever symptoms.

I’m 22 years old, and I was diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) in August of 2011 before then, and still now I have constant visits to different doctors trying to find a medication that works best for me. As of right now I have tried different medication for pain, spasm, and even medication to make me have an appetite and it seems like nothing has work besides marijuwana. I really hate getting it because I’m afraid to because it is illegal in Illinois but if it was legal I really think it would help me, and other people with diseases especially people like me with MS because we face an unpredictable, and very sickly disease that not only doesn’t have a cure but doctors don’t even know how or where it came from so why not give us something to cope with our disease? Every second of the day more and more people get diagnosed with MS and for doctors not to know why, how, or even be able to cure it is unexceptable, and we need something to stop the pain even if it’s only for a few hrs or so.
