It breaks my heart to read what the LDS Church has taken as its stand on medical marijuana! The evidence is overwhelming that there are at least 23 health benefits of marijuana! Why would anyone want to see children or adults suffer needlessly?
Studies show that recreational marijuana does not increase when medical marijuana is legalized. Marijuana is safer than already legalized drugs. It also has a very low risk of abuse.
Legislators, please look at what the majority of America wants. Open your hearts to all of the people whose suffering could be stopped with the usage of marijuana!
