Should Medical Marijuana be Legal in ND?

[Del Snavely]

Would you vote to enact medical cannabis laws here in North Dakota?

There are currently 13 states that have enacted medical marijuana laws, with 20 more states that are in the process of doing so.

I have cronic pain issues and while living in WA. for the last 5yrs I was a legal user of marijuana for pain relief. that stopped in July of this year when I moved to ND.

I am again dependent on narcotic pain pills, which don't offer me the relief that I was able to get from using marijuana to control my pain.

I firmly believe that medical marijuana laws should be enacted here in North Dakota.

I suffer from cronic back pain and my future wife has fibromialgia and we have to take highly addictive narcotics and they dont help as much as marijuana plus they dont help her with apitite or sleeping.

yes, people can only benefit. I'm so sick of the DEA saying it has no "proven medicinal uses." maybe it's not a cure, but its therapeutic benefits have been proven over and over again. we have to make these boneheaded lawmakers listen!!

I have been a chronic pain sufferer for the past 7 years. I don't smoke mmj at this time. I work in the dot required industry. I have every intention of having one of the first dispensaries in ND. When applicable laws have been passed. I have been accused of only wanting pain meds for my injuries. I have yet to have a Dr. fix a single injury or ailment. My list of injuries sustained at one time. 3 broken vertebrae in my neck, 7 separate fractures. 27 individual rib fractures resulting in a flailed chest. Broken left shoulder, smashed right hand and a severely damaged left hip. I spent 32 days in ICU and 28 of those I was on a ventilator. I am only looking for pain relief not an excuse to be medicated. I don't use alchohal as a crutch or an excuse. Please ND. this is the right thing to do for many people like me. Thank you
