The laws do need to change. We live in Texas, and it's not an option here, either. So to help my sister, we broke the law. It was worth it, too, for as much benefit as she got. Just pisses me off we were forced into a position where we had to make an illegal choice. There's no question it ought to be legal for medical use everywhere.

Real sorry about your grandmom, MotleyCB. Are they going to do surgery on her? I have had a portion of my stomach and sections of my intestines removed because I had a bad ruptured appendix years back and got a terrible infection all through my abdomen that they could only treat with surgery. It's very hard now for me to gain weight and sometimes it's even hard for me not to actively lose it. I can usually maintain what I have by eating more frequent, smaller meals. Maybe that'll help her, too. I hope so!
