  1. I was born with neurofibromatosis ( NF ). At 12 I had my 1st spinal fusion, to stop a rapidly twisting curve that only people with (NF), can get.It was a frontal operation. I had screws, staples and wire inserted into 6 of my vertebra’s, to stop the curving.20 years later, my spine was degenerating, and collapsing. I had my 2ND fusion. My remaining thoracic spine was fused, and Harrington rods where inserted ( 12 vertebra)Sense that horrible day in August 1995.”IN WHICH I WOKE UP DURING THE OPERATION”.I have been in non-stop pain. not a moment goes by without knowledge of my spine.Now my neck is curving, and there is nothing that can be done.I also had part of a brain tumor removed in Dec, 06.I have been on a non-stop cycle of deadly narcotics for over ten years now.At one point i was on is much is 240mg of oxycontin a day. Im now going off methadone with the help of medical cannabis. The 1st time i was able to get enough cannabis to make the butter.Which i spread on 7-grain toast with a bit of honey.I was not prepared for the shock of waking up the next morning to no pain.My muscles where so relaxed.and Ive been on valuim for years.That instead of jumping for joy I cried. Something I seldom do.For i had forgotten what it’s like, not to have pain.Unfortionly I cannot always get enough cannabis to make the butter. But inhaling it, still works better and is far safer then any of the narcotics if been on.It is crazy that a safe non-toxic multi-purpose, medication like the cannabis plant, remains illegal. And is i fight for it’s legalization here in ILL. I cannot believe the stance some of are Senators have taken, on medical cannabis. One Senator showed me, she had not even bothered to read the Bill. For she e-mailed me, saying she’s against it, because I’d be allowed 12 plants. When in fact. The Bill say’s It’s 1/2 that.Another sided with discrimination,Would he dare take the side of landlords if this was any other subject then medical cannabis.How about a person on methadone nodding out with supper on the stove, or cigarette in hand, then burning the house down. I could go on and on, with different examples.But it comes down to this, nothing works better then medical cannabis for me. And it is my constitutional right to use the safest medication there is. The cannabis plant. Thank you Lucie macfarlane

  2. Thank you for all you have done here Mark – it’s AMAZING work! One day, we will be FREE!!!

    • Melanie,

      Thank you for your kind words. Indeed, a day will come in the not too distant future when we will be free to dose with God’s medicine, without the fear of arrest and imprisonment.
      Until that day or my last breath, this will be my life. Never give up. Free the medicine, ease the suffering.
