It needs to happen in Wyoming!If not for the eonomic reasons alone it should be legalized for the relief of patients with mild chronic pain to cancer.

Although ive been clean for quiet sometime…years even. I still cant focus the way the government would like me to. I just hope for a break and they give us what we need.
If you grow corn in Iowa the government pays you money for growing that crop. this is a weird concept but most farmers only break even or close.
