In the U.S. someone dies from pharmaceutical overdose every 14 minutes. Narcotics, opioids, anti psychotics routinely prescribed for pain, anxiety, chemo, inflammation, depression, schizophrenia are turning Americans into chemical stews of awful side effects, ticking time bombs of violence, and placing us at high risk of early death. See this link: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/02/11/leading-causes-of-death-cost-for-us-economy.aspx


Often these drugs don't heal, they only mask symptoms and cause more problems. And yet more and more evidence points to the relatively safe efficacy of medical cannabis. See this link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAFu-Ihwyzg


It's time Idaho gets on the medical marijuana bus. And not just in a single person, special case kind of way, but in a way that allows the full benefits of medical cannabis be realized by all those who need it. This means not just young sympathetic children suffering from extreme epilepsy, but also anyone properly diagnosed and suffering with cancer, depression, PTSD, chronic inflammation, pain, extreme anxiety, Crohn's disease, MS…etc. It is inhumane that this plant is not available for such medical use in any state, much less Idaho.


If you are an Idaho resident and support making medical cannabis widely available in the state of Idaho please sign this petition.


If you are an Idaho resident and don't support it please take some time to educate yourself on the topic; google cannabis medical benefits, search youtube for Weed 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAFu-Ihwyzg ) plus other documentaries concerning the medical benefits of cannabis, and go to the National Institute of Health medical library of published peer reviewed medical science and read up, here's a link to start with:

Once you read some of this you'll be thinking about people in your life who can benefit. Then perhaps you'll come back and sign our petition? Idaho residents only, please!
