DRUG FIRMS FIGHTING MEDICAL POT

To the people that think marijuana for medical use is bad for everyone, I 
have a few questions: How many deaths reported from an overdose of 
marijuana in the U.S. in the last 100 years? How many cases of deaths are 
from an overdose of drugs you buy from your drug store in the last year? 
How many deaths are from an overdose of any other drugs in the last month? 
The war on medical marijuana is from the drug makers that give hundreds of 
millions to put people in the White House to stop the use of medical 
marijuana. The drug makers can't make billions on the sale of medical 
marijuana.

The drug makers make pain medications, pills to help stop the damage that 
pain pills do to your body and then make more pills to stop the damage that 
they do your body. Medical marijuana helps lowers your blood pressure, 
reduces their stress, reduces their pain, and they want to eat also. If you 
have ever taken care of a dying person, you know what I am talking about.
