 * EDITORIAL--medical marijuana**

My name is Mike Roberts and I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is an inflammatory disease in which the fatty myelin sheaths around the axons of the brain and spinal cord are damaged. It causes loss of sensitivity, muscle weakness, muscle spasms, difficulty with moving, coordination and balance, and problems with speech. I have been suffering from MS for the majority of his life and prescription medications have never been much use to me. Most of them have unpleasant side effects, which frequently lead to more health problems later in life. After all of my bad experiences with prescription medications, my doctor prescribed me medical marijuana. Marijuana is a muscle relaxant and has antispasmodic qualities. It works to stop the neurological effects and muscles spasms that come from MS, and also helps improve the patients balance, bladder control, speech, and eyesight. To be honest, I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t use marijuana. It is the only medication that takes away my discomfort and pain without the unpleasant side effects, and allows me to live a more normal and happy life.
