Dear Mrs. Bush,

I am writing to you because I believe you are a compassionate woman. I know you have seen suffering. My heart is breaking for the suffering caused by the actions of the DEA ripping out our beautiful Medicinal Herbs.

WAMM The Woman’s and /Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana are a collective of sick and dying Patients who use Medical Marijuana to ease suffering from Cancer, AIDS and many painful and debilitating diseases.

I am a Grandmother. I received a blood product that contained HIV in 1984. (One year after the test for HIV was available.) For nearly 20 years I have suffered from this horrific disease.

In 1997 I nearly died from Toxoplasmosis an opportunistic infection that caused 4 lesions in my brain. To stay alive I take many toxic medications. I wake up every morning with cramping diarrhea and vomiting. I have bleeding lesions in my esophagus from vomiting. I have extreme peripheral neuropathy (the HIV in my body is attacking and is destroying my nerve covering’s) it an extremely painful condition in my hands and feet. The list goes on.

The last time I had to leave California I was unable to take My Doctor recommended Medical Marijuana with me, after two weeks I could not get out of bed. The pain in my feet was unbearable. I was prescribed morphine to ease my pain. I hated the way I felt so drugged. When I returned to California and resumed Medical Marijuana I was able to stop taking the morphine after three days. My Doctor documents this.

To take away my medicine is a death sentence, a long painful one.

We WAMM cause no harm. WE are a COLLECTIVE of sick and dying Patients. We are acting in accordance with our State, County and City Laws. We do not charge we grow and give away Medicine to the sickest of the sick the dying.

Please find compassion in your heart. Speak out about this issue. I am an American. I am not a Criminal. I cannot help the Terrorist’s buy going to the black market to buy Medicine. Please help us.

Suffering
