Marijuana should be legalized in the state of Illinois. Our state representatives should fight to make marijuana legal because it helps cure cancer and other terrible sicknesses. One U.S citizen Rick Simpson treated his skin cancer with marijuana infused oil after all the prescription drugs made him look extremely sick. Another example of the amazing healing powers of medical marijuana is six year old Charlotte from Colorado. Charlotte suffered from a untreatable from of epilepsy and used medical marijuana to cure her disease. He amazing story was featured on a CNN Documentary. Just like six year old charlotter, one of your family members could be suffering from a terrible disease that marijuana could cure. I call out to all of you in Illinois to reach out to your state representatives and fight for this amazing plant.
