“Having worked with AIDS and cancer patients, it became clear that they were not using cannabis as a ‘drug’ but as a way of decreasing the anxiety, fear, lack of hunger, and other disastrous symptoms they were experiencing. Cannabis made them feel better, and the fact that it was illegal is truly ridiculous.”
