here is a letter that i wrote to my representative urging him and his fellow reps to introduce and push a MMJ law here in nebraska. please tell me what you think, what/if anything that should be added or taken out, etc etc.
Hi, my name is *real name*. I'm writing you today to urge you to introduce a bill that will protect the users of Medical Marijuana under state law. There are many people in this great state of ours that use marijuana,in order to relieve debilitating pain and illness. I myself suffer from anxiety, depression, intermittent back pain, as well as have trouble sleeping. In the past, I have been prescribed Prozac, Wellbutrin, and even Adderall to try and help me with these problems, but none of them worked. I used to be completely against marijuana, only because of the miseducation of students in the public school system. Recently, I took it upon myself to FULLY educate myself about marijuana, and I as well as hundreds of thousands of US citizens have come to the conclusion that while it is categorized as a Schedule 1 drug by the DEA (mind you, this is the same category as Heroin), it is less harmful to your body than cigarettes and even alcohol. Recently, I have started using marijuana as a way to relieve the previous said symptoms, and I have found that it is exponentially more effective in relieving not only MY symptoms, but as well as symptoms of other debilitating and sometimes even life threatening diseases than any other prescribed drug that I have taken. I would like you to imagine for a just a second that a loved one of yours has just been diagnosed with a type of cancer and has been put on chemo. Now, I would like you to try and find a completely organic drug that will not only relieve your loved ones physical pain, but also decrease their nausea and increase their appetite WITHOUT any side-effects whatsoever. Marijuana can do ALL of this. Here is a link to a video that I hope will strike you as hard as it did me. Please just take a couple minutes and watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEOoa6Q4Bds
In closing, I would just like you to know that this letter is not coming from just some "hippy pothead", but rather a very well mannered, clean cut and open-minded individual. If you have gotten to this point of the letter, I would just like to thank you for taking the time to read this letter and hope that you will push this for all of the people that so desperately need it.
Sincerely,
*real name*
