Marijuana has medical purposes it is medicine. It does not cause cancer or brain damage and a higher risk of heart attack is a side effect of smoke inhalation not the drug. MMJ can be used in smoke-free preperations such as foods, teas, tinctures or inhaled through a vaporizor.

It is a travesty that the Federal Government keeps arresting sick people despite the States saying it is wrong. Support MPP!

Legalize!

It has been used since the dawn of man.

It helps humans in so many ways!

Clothing, food, medicine, shelter, paper, plastic, fuel, oil, and much more!
