South Carolina has a MMJ bill tied up in committee. It didn't make it out last year and if the committee members have their way, it won't this year. Write your rep and let them know that the bill needs to come out of committee for a vote. That way, they will have to make a stand one way or the other. Too often bills get buried in committee so legislators don't have to made a stand and those of us with health problems like depression suffer. I have crohn's, depression and anxiety attacks. I have discussed using MMJ with my doctors at the VA. I haven't been discouraged by them, nor encouraged. I think they, like legislators, are afraid to make a positive stance for MMJ. That is why it is important for us to make our voices heard. While my doctors haven't encouraged MMJ use, they see the improvements in my mental and physical health from MMJ use. I feel every doctor appointment is an opportunity to educate medical professionals. I print articles out and give them to the doctors. I am glad my suicide attempts have failed, for I have found my life groove once again.
