Passing: Timothy Garon, who was denied a liver transplant largely

Ok, This is were the powers that be mainly the U.S. government really
blow. If marijuana were a legal legit medicine this would have been no
problem. I am going to continue to use medical MJ form my Bi Polor
disorder. The U.S. government need to smarten up and realize that we
are not just a bunch of unmotivated stoners. We have a cause more of
us need to get involved in the legal system. We need to change the way
our government treats us. We need to get out and vote!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peace, Jim
