Medicinal marijuana is a plant not a drug. In my religion, God is the king and if he didn't want cannabis here, it wouldn't be. How many people who smoke only weed die from it? None. Cigarettes are a harmful drug approximately 443,000 people die each year from this chronic killer! I rest my case.REPORT COMMENTS

I had a major near death experience bout 6 yrs ago and doctors have said depression , bipolar moods , and anxiety attacks will occur for the rest of my life. The reason all this happens now is due to a major skateboard wreck the doctors said I had 2 hours too live if they didn't stop the bleeding it was internal bleeding to the brain and the whole left side of my face was shattered but I disagree with illegal laws of marijuana so if it's medical it can help me sleep , focus ,eat etc. thanks for taking your time to read this .REPORT COMMENTS

I am in my 50's and have been suffering from several forms of chronic, severe pain for over 30 years. I've been given pills by doctors with warnings on them that would scare anyone, but I've taken these pills anyway because I was seeking relief. In many cases, I never found complete relief, even with the pills, but the pills usually gave me at least some relief. Now, recently, I've moved to Kentucky and imagine my surprise when I learned that almost no one here prescribes pain relief and I was treated like a drug addict when I sought pain relief and that, even then, I still was not given pain relief. The constitution states that we all have the right to life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. Holding back legal pain relief from me seems unconstitutional. How can I pursue happiness when the relief of pain is so close but the law says I can't have it? The state laws are damaging my health, my well being, my ability to work, my ability to sleep, my ability to deal with pain, and my ability to pursue happiness. Medical marijuana would be a great way to solve the problem for me. If just one of my physicians would see how it could help me, I would be able to use it.REPORT COMMENTS

After 5 failed back surgeries and a boat load of pills. I traveled to a state where it was legal and tried it. I found it to give me a great deal of relief. I was able to sleep. That was one pill I didn't have to take. I wasn't snapping at people for the smallest things because I have been in so much pain for so long. That was two more pills I didn't have to take. My pain wasn't as bad after I smoked it. That was on average 2 more pills I didn't have to take. My nightly leg cramps weren't as severe. That was one sometimes two pills I didn't have to take. Now I am home here in Kentucky where I am looked down on and treated like a low life drug addict because of the pills I take. It's my wish that Ky law makers could walk in my shoes for a week. Then ask them if do they think Kentucky should have medical marijuana. I pray every day for Lawmakers to see that god put cannabis on this planet for his people just like many others to help them not hurt them. Cannabis has no withdrawal or side effects for most people. If I just stopped talking the meds I take now more than likely I would die.REPORT COMMENTS

In my opinion marijuana is a very special medicine, it could also bring a alot of tax dollars to to our state, also proved by many other states that have legalization on this crop, have had a big down 👇 fall in crime, also prevention of hurt people tryin to feel better 😊 from going to jail longer than even rapists, yes that is a factor that has happened many times so why is that, I don't understand why some individuals look at marijuana like its this evil thing I believe it does extremely more good than bad. So Kentucky state senator think about all the good marijuana does for many individuals. And my question is are willing to make a step forward in the right 👉 direction for a beautiful cause.

I think medical merijuana is a wiser choice of treatment than the highly addictive and liver damaging alternative of man made prescription pain killers and benzo anxiety medications. I know from experience that medical merijuana offers real help for many problems that pateints have, and works for many different illnesses to give the patient real relief. It doesnt cause dependency to where the patient must have it in order to function and there is no physical withdrawal when its no longer necessary. Its time we recognize its many benifits, and stop denying that the pills given to patients cause as muvh harm as they do good. I say legalize!!!! Its the right thing to do! Stop producing pill head drug addicts that suffer terribly when the doctors think their mefication is no longer needed. Do it now!+!REPORT COMMENTS

We need an alternative option to the highly addictive opiates medication that has taken over the US in the past 30 yrs. The government and medical industries have the moral obligation to help responsible citizens live the best life possible with the least amount of side affects. Pass, regulate and control the Medical Marijuana/Cannabis Act that gives patients/physicians optional chooses for the best treatment.REPORT COMMENTS

I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa. This is a condition that leads to chronic pain, boils, self issues among many other things. http://www.hs-foundation.org/about-hs/impact-on-patients/ I have been to doctors, therapists, and tried self remedies nothing works and people like those close to me are very harsh towards me because marijuana is illegal. I quit smoking when I became pregnant and have not started back because of the legal issues. It does not make me a bad person because I used marijuana medicinally when it helped me do more because it moderated my pain. Doctors do not know what to do about my condition they have no idea what causes and frankly at my age they look at me from all outward appearances besides my skin issue and see that I am healthy however, Inside I hurt constantly. If I rub my legs the wrong way I get shooting pains, I have had surgeries, nerve damage, and constant reoccurring lesions to where I am scarred for life. I live on creams, ointments, soaps, and anything otc that may help me. There is a pill epidemic and it is killing a mass majority of people but, marijuana has not directly killed anyone. When I smoked I would smoke a little before bed and in the morning. I would not smoke to get 'high" as some people may say I would smoke to take the edge off of my pain. I cleaned my house, I walked everyday, I could go places, and I was very outgoing and pain free. Today is a different story because I will not lose my son because of legal issues related to marijuana. Please pass this law and have HS as one of the qualifying conditions so, that it is accessible to patients like myself. Thank-youREPORT COMMENTS

The entire world has been permitted to live as they please regardless of virtue or humanity so why not advocate something that may actually be useful or productive to our society not solely to our governments pockets. Medicinal Marijuana is a remedy for many medical issues but is illegal to benefit who? IT IS NOT HARMFUL Alcohol and Cigarettes are PROVEN to be harmful and they are LEGAL. Marijuana has no medical effects, no fatalities due to it's consumption and should be legal.REPORT COMMENTS

If I have marijuana in my system, pain management doctors are not allowed to see or treat me even though I have refused all pain meds (because of the addiction possibilities). This really does not make sense.REPORT COMMENTS

My life has become miserable since the gov. decided to take my right of have pain meds, for my horrible Im in everyday. Im not a junkie, How does the Gov. have the right, to tell my dr. that went to school many yrs that if they have to many patients on pain meds. They could lose the practice.. All the gov. did was to make heroin overdoses, to the max. They can't get pain meds, so they turn to heroin! But outta of my painful life, I have had 2 TKR Right & left knee, back disease, neck & back deformities, I have a major break down from to much pain, if I do more than 10 min of housework, I do nothing but sit now. Prisoner of my recliner. I read that MEDICAL MARIJUANA in the state of KENTUCKY, could help with pain, all my siblings have terrible bone pain, even my son, since he was a teenager has horrible Back & neck pain, He already went through cancer. Why can't we get relief from A mother nature type of pain relief, I would think that why mother nature made this, instead of phar.pills. Give my right to get treatment for my pain! Sub MEDICAL MARIJUANA in the state of KENTUCKY & quit selling tobacco TY SUE BrookerREPORT COMMENTS
