LETTER: Vote yes on I-182 and help people with extreme pain

| October 23, 2016 11:00 AM

Every election is important, especially this one. Particularly for us who suffer from extreme pain from cancer, the vertebrae (back) or veterans from post traumatic stress disorder.

Many of us choose medical marijuana rather than be addicted to opiates. Unfortunately, the current law states that each provider is limited to three patients, which leaves thousands stranded without. Your fellow neighbor may be one of them.

You may not want to have anything to do with marijuana (an herb), but please open your heart to the elderly, sick, veterans suffering from PTSD and others that are in need of this miracle non-addictive pain reliever. Please vote yes on I-182! God bless. —Poul Houlberg, Kalispell
