Folks-
This was a great read, I wanted to share it with you guys! Nancy Pelosi's constituents are currently benefiting from medical marijuana laws in her state- but you won't hear her bringing it up in session! Have a read!

A community based health solution that started in 1996, currently accessible by millions of Americans, has been left completely out of the recent national conversation on healthcare. Medical marijuana is legal in fourteen states, New Jersey being the most recent. The quiet truth is that domestically grown, medical grade pot is already an important part of our country’s everyday healthcare.

Though there is no mention of it from most federal elected officials, all local and national polling shows our country in support of medical marijuana, with numbers increasing every year. Realistically, cannabis has always been available in every state, legally or otherwise.
