Thanks for the articles!!!!! I so hope this state gets the issue passed this fall. If not as I stated before I may move. I went to Jamaica, and I did use MM the entire time. I had so much less PN pain I cried! Walking up and down the hills in Negril I was able to do! After two times trying this, 8 months apart, I did a good control study of my own and kept notes. I stay legal in my own state, but I hate using the hydrocodone or other narcotics. I had a devil of a time getting off another medication a few years ago. No withdrawing from MM either. No after effects at all. This whole issue should be a non issue. It is a plant that works and should be allowed. It is political in this country. Keep me posted on articles you find. I will pass them on to a group I am involved with for the election. ginnie
