Josh doesn't seem to understand that some outdoor growers are growing for the year and therefore will need to have the right to hold on to a decent supply for the entire year. Couldn't they find someone in opposition who even understands this program better?

I have a rare genetic disorder called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, the premiere symptom of EDS is severe pain. Cannabis provides me with much-needed relief w/o the use of opiads. Because I am unable to access cannabis as much as I need I must in fact rely on high doses of opiads. The use of these prescription drugs places me in danger of liver damage and as a woman with an extremely rare genetic disorder I am not eligible for a transplant. I consider safe access to medicinal cannabis a matter of life and death.

As far as I'm concerned safe, affordable access to medicinal cannabis is a human rights issue.

Thank you for this opportunity to share my opinion on this forum.
