Letter to the Editor

In support of medical marijuana

Friday, December 13, 2019

Dear Editor,

A certain level of THC is required because it is the chemical that carries the beneficial CBD to the brain, which is why the Federal government set a maximum of .3% THC content when they approved Hemp.

For many, when the word “marijuana” is mentioned, a shield goes up immediately and they refuse to even listen to the facts. Recreational MJ and medical MJ are two entirely different things. The seeds used to grow MM are seeds that contain lower levels of THC.

I would like to provide some reference material so that Nebraska residents can educate themselves on the difference, as well as some video links showing the results of CBD treatment. MM has also been shown to kill cancer cells. Please feel free to contact Nebraskans for Medical Marijuana on Facebook for a listing of the various county groups, or https://www.nebraskamarijuana.org/ if you would like to sign the petition or need additional information.

MJ is just another God-given resource that we are ignoring to the detriment of many. Below is a link from a Doctor in Florida that provides an extensive history of the plant and it’s usage in the US, as well as an explanation of the differences between MM and recreational MJ.

It has been used for many, many generations, dating all the way back to the early Egyptians.
