She was <br /> given a 50/50 chance of survival. Hunter Rose used medical cannabis throughout her entire main protocol treatment. It <br /> was HUGE for us and helped her appetite, mood, pain management, and eventually replaced many of the toxic <br /> medicines/narcotics she was on.Although Hunter Rose has finished her main protocol treatment at Children's and <br /> currently shows no signs of disease, she is enrolled in a cancer vaccine trial through March of 2020 and still using <br /> cannabis. <br /> My wife and I both struggled tremendously throughout her main protocol treatment because of the limited number of <br /> cannabis stores in the Everett area. Close proximaty and better access to cannabis stores would have helped <br /> tremendously. We spent 170 days inpatient in the hospital and when you are home every minute counts. Sometimes we <br /> would have to drive to three or four stores to find the right product and price we could afford.As a resident of Everett it <br /> is very important to our family and others like us to increase the number of stores to give better access. <br /> We are aware there is a public safety meeting this evening to discuss the issue of potentially increasing the number of <br /> stores that are able to operate in Everett. My wife and I plan on attending the meeting and are available to meet with <br /> anyone who is willing to hear our story and discuss the issue further. <br /> We certainly thank you in advance for understanding our family's cannabis issue is a lot of families and needs to be <br /> heard and addressed. <br /> Jay Hix Jones <br /> (c): 323.251.8586 <br /> 1 <br />
