He has a genetic disorder called Nail Patella Syndrome which causes painful spasms and bone deformities. His doctors claim that if it were not for his legal supply of federal marijuana, he would probably not be alive today. Although he smokes 10 joints a day, he is remarkably lucid and eloquent. He has testified before state and federal legislative committees. It is time for our government to stop throwing seriously ill patients in jail for private, doctor-approved consumption of cannabis.
Compassionate conservatism requires no less.
