We now reside in Florida where MM is legal. I have 2 small boys and have severe postpartum anxiety. Medical marijuana has been a literal lifesaver for me. I am a better wife and mother. To know I couldn’t receive my medicine in Mississippi is heartbreaking. I went to my general physician, he prescribed marijuana, I registered with the state, and the state sent me a card license. Marijuana is medical. Consider the epileptics! It was scheduled as a class 1 drug as a tool to suppress the Black community. The gentleman it is an illegal drug is simply a “crafting of words” as he says. Marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana can not be overdosed on. Marijuana is not addictive. There should be no fear mongering of this highly necessary medicine. </li> </ul><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
