To my fellow Americans and all those who have chosen to call themselves Americans:

It's time for us to stop denying the truth. Medical use of marijuana should be legalized throughout the United States of America. This valuable thread of hemp started this country; now this same infamous hemp is poised to help the critically ill while preserving this country by providing fundamental tax revenue. So, call your congressperson, visit your government representatives, and let them know that instead of raising taxes to fund health care just legalize marijuana; tax it then take the proceeds and pay for health care.

For years, I've proudly proclaimed my choice to use marijuana as an alternative to the man made poison on the market. I've placed my trust in God more than I do our pharmaceutical companies. If you keep taking what they give you the side effects will eventually kill you. Smoke all the marijuana you want and you will just eat everything and then go to sleep.

From my prospective, since I'm infected with an incurable disease, I've inherited the right to choose which type of medicine I'll use. After taking a look at the various treatments for my illness, it became evident that modern medicine could be quickly compared to the doctors during the days of the woman with an issue of blood.

My late wife and I put all our faith and give all of our money to the medical society when she became infected 23 years ago. She trusted them and started taking the meds. I trusted God and continued to smoke MJ. I miss her and often I cry on my pillow because she's no longer here. Not long after taking the first dose of AZT and DDI, she promptly succumbed to the toxic effect of the meds. However, I'm still alive because I've refused to trust modern medicine all of my adult life. I trust only God and I'll take only what he has placed on this earth.

Lastly, I visited my doctor a few years ago and was told that the medical society agreed with my assessment concerning cannabis and its products. They now produce Marinol, MJ in a pill form. Still, I don't trust the mind of man to make something better than God has already provided. Since the medical society has discovered and uncovered the benefits of MJ, just legalize it and take advantage of a gift from God.

After God made all the plants he said that's good. Every time I take a hit of some good fire weed, I must stop and take a long look at the joint and I also must proclaim, My God, that's really good.

As always, may God continue to bless all of us,
Pastor Reginald Walker
