People like Rep. Fleming don’t care until it hits a loved one. Remember Lynn Nofziger, the Reagan staffer? He had a battlefield conversion when his daughter got cancer and need marijuana to help ease the side effects of chemo. THEN it was ok.

I readily admit that I am among those "battle field converts". I saw a young man on tv with the same symptoms I have, smoke a low THC joint and the problem went away immediately. I have what doctors refer to as "familial tremors" one of the symptoms is a thoracic diaphragm that spasms, which causes great difficulty speaking at times. I'm planning a trip to Colorado to see if I can get help'

In truth though, I've never been rabidly opposed to marijuana. My main objection to it was the ready availibity of it to children (under 21), studies have shown that it is harmful to children. I'm vehemently opposed to my 14 year old son and 15 year old daughter smoking anything.

I smoked cigarettes for 50 years, giving them up 6 years ago.

Because of my shaking, I've lost the ability to write or print even semi legibly, even typing is difficult.

It has taken me about 5 minutes to type this relatively short reply.
