Deb Williams <br /> Prom: Marilyn Boyd [bubbie50@yahoo.com] <br /> Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2012 8:47 AM <br /> To: DL-Council <br /> Subject: Medical Marijuana <br /> Everett City Council, <br /> I am a nurse, yet I watched helplessly as both of my parents struggled with the extreme side effects caused by both <br /> radiation and chemotherapy, during their cancer treatments. <br /> I have no doubts that had medical marijuana been an option for them, they would have used it. The side effects of many <br /> treatments seem worse than the disease. It is unconscionable that you consider making a decision that would adversely <br /> affect medical marijuana patients based on fear, or misconception of the law. Have any of you have witnessed or <br /> experienced the agony of unrelenting pain or nausea? Please put yourselves in the position of patients, their family <br /> members, friends, and the medical community that supports the use of medical marijuana. Do not deny the right of <br /> patients by criminalizing a medication that has proven effectiveness for both chronic health problems and as palliative <br /> treatment for cancer patients. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Marilyn Boyd <br /> 1620 Hoyt Avenue <br /> Everett <br />
