AN EYE OPENER!

EVERYONE WHO IS AGAINST THE USE OF MARIJUANA SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. THIS HAS THE STRAIGHT FACTS AND IS A PAGE TURNER. IT DESCRIBES A COUPLES FIGHT FOR A RIGHT TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE. I FIRST STUDIED THE SUBJECT FOR A PROJECT IN MY HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH CLASS. IT SEEMED LIKE A TOPIC TO ALMOST LAUGH AT, BUT I CAN SEE NOW THAT IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS CASES IN HISTORY.

Why the public needs to read this book!

In the war against drugs, the people that have been hurt and who suffort the most are patients..Glaucoma, MS, Auto immune dieases, HIV,AIDS, Cancer..too many to list!! Robert Randall and Alice O'Leary have written of the twenty + years of fighting the "demon", and the the DEA and the ill advised government agencies that control the destiny of millions of people. People that are dying, living in intracable, horrific pain.All in an flawed effort to Stop the "drugs" The "War on Drugs" has become the war on the least of us, the sick, the poor, the pain racked citizen's. Marijuana Rx The Patients Fight for Medical Pot gives us a rare look inside the lives of two people that found themselves up against the most powerful men in our government. The fight has taken them all over the world. It is brilliantly written, part fact, part personal history. All true and a guide for today! The fight Must be won!! Robert and Alice have found a way to tell their story that is concise, even humorous at times. A story of a man that has faced death and won, for now. A woman that has stood by him every step of the way. It should be required reading for every medical student in every university in this country! There is a time for each of us to stand and be counted. I will be counted. Read and understand the flawed and cruel policies of a govenment too embarassed to admit they are wrong. Medical use of marijuana is a shining tool that is helping chronically and terminally ill patients all over the world. It is time the Government of this country and the DEA stop trying to "pass the buck, denying hundreds of studies that Marjiuana Works. Robert and Alice tell a gripping story of the fight of their lives. It must be recongized and read. For all those namesless, faceless patients that are staking their lives on the use of "Pot".
