This was very interesting- I guess our part as mmj patients is to be open about why we use it and how it helps us. Personally, I do not hide the fact that I am a mmj patient. I have a variety of different friends in many different walks of life. But, they all accept what I have chosen, Family, Friends and the people we encounter in everyday life should know, we are out there. We are not a threat to anyone and have chosen something we feel helps and enhancess our lives, after years of pain and going thru the medical system, sometimes feeling worse then when we started. So, the least we can do as patients, is to be proud of what we have chosen and make sure anyone that knows us, knows that we support our decision. I am Thanking the activists before me , who have made the laws as acceptable as they have become, compared to 10 years ago. I will continue to rally for this cause, because I know from my own experience what a difference it has made in my life. So as mmj patients, it's up to us, we have the personal knowledge of what a difference this medicine has made in our lives. I guess what I am saying is we need to Speak up & out!
