After reading Renfroe's response to Mr Corry I felt I had to do some writing therapy. I doubt he will read it, and if so I doubt he will get it but I thought I would share with you.

Dear Senator Renfore,

I am writing in response to your position and the national guard on 4/20. The thought that one of our elected officials would actually consider, even to make a point, calling the national guard on peaceful protesters is absolutely unforgivable.

I happen to be a middle age woman and I was out there on April 20th. Understand please that I have been active in Marijuana reform for 40 years, it is obvious to me peaceful civil disobedience is the only way. What you do not understand is that many of those protesting were actually NOT medical marijuana patients.

There is, of course, abuse in the medical marijuana system. If you can name just one governing agency that does not have corruption I would love to know what it is. When an agency is run as poorly as CDPHE is in regards to addressing applications for registration that abuse will be more rampant.

You speak of the drug czar's mention of drug overdose deaths being more than guns. I fail to understand how that applies to marijuana in any way. Ask any medical professional, there has never been one death related to marijuana.

I have been smoking medicinally and for recreation now going on 40+ years. I am a productive member of society, I have raised my children, vote, and feel its well past time for reform.

Alcohol has been a much more destructive force in my life. My father was an alcoholic, my grandfather before him and the impact on our family was devastating . Please actually do the research with open eyes and see marijuana is the safer alternative. Life is complicated and busy, having a safe method to relax is paramount to living health. Marijuana sincerely helps the medical situations I have developed over the last decade or so. No more phenobarbital, no more addictive pain killers, 99% of the time either a dose of tincture, a few hits of a small glass pipe or eating medicated food will take care of it.

It is time to rid ourselves of the Reefer Madness hysteria and look at this in the light. Really look at the places where marijuana has been decriminalized or legalized, crime is down and usage among young people is dropping. Take the money from prosecuting non violent drug offenders and use it to educate our young. Lets keep them away from what is really dangerous, ignorance.

Although I fear you will not read this much less take it to heart I feel it is imperative that I let you know my feelings. You are not my elected official, and I am so proud that the Senator for my area vote NO on this bill, you sir are the embarrassment to Colorado not peaceful demonstrators.

To give you another look at YOUR war on drugs I will link this YouTube video. Please look at it and see what your ideals are doing to good American families.
