“So far with my patients, or patients I’m familiar with that work with specialists, we seem to have control of this and it doesn’t seem to us that we have a huge problem that needs something new and very controversial.”

“I’ve seen what its like to suffer from one of these illnesses and have met MS patients, people who have cancer and there is a community out there of medical marijuana patients that are suffering,” Reistroffer says.

For the record, Emmett helped Theresa and I with the tax petition drive. He is an incredible guy, with tons of passion. If someone can get this done, it is him.
