“People who are suffering often ask me if I can help them find medical marijuana. As much as I sympathize with their painful situation, I tell them that I can better assist them by continuing to be a legal cannabis smoker, a living testimony to the therapeutic benefits of marijuana and an advocate leading the fight for others suffering the way they are. If I violate the federal rules, I risk being thrown out of the program… Within a few months of not smoking [marijuana], I could be in a critically terminal state.”
