Throughout history marijuana was used as a medicine to aid many illnesses and symptoms. The cannabinoids along with the THC found in marijuana have proven to relieve pain and act as a sleeping aid for people with insomnia. With very little known negative side effects, marijuana has very significant medical use. However in the United States it is considered a schedule one drug, meaning it has high potential for addiction and little to no medical value. Despite recent studies showing that it does in fact help with chronic pain and does not contain an addictive chemical, medical marijuana is illegal, on a federal level, in the United States. Though several states have made it legal for use, in states like Texas many people who need this medicine are denied their right to. Legalizing medical marijuana in Texas would give many people new options for treatment and may be the best choice for them to recover. Marijuana needs to be legalized in Texas because it will cause less damage on the body than other pain killers and it will give the ill a new option for pain relief.
Reaching this point has been a long and draining road. The momentum we have built feels heavy with the weight of everyone who is still waiting for relief. We are not stopping now.

I suffer from chronic pain from a broken pelvis. I've tried all medications to help my pain. Nothing works except smoking when I get ready for bed, It helps me sleep. If I do not I tend to be awake all night. It makes it very hard for me to work the next day from being so tierd plus all of my pain. Please make it possible for me to have access to cannabis.

James has Parkinsons Disease and we believe his life could be made easier with medical marijuana. He is 76 years old, in pain, losing the ability to move, depressed, etc. Please make medical marijuana legal in Texas. We ask for compassion if there is a chance at all that marijuana could relieve his suffering.
