I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis almost 40 years ago. As the disease has progressed, my quality of life has declined. These days I suffer from increased stiffness in my joints and muscles, which means I need a wheel chair to get around. On top of that, it’s very difficult for me to get any sleep due to tremors and muscle spasms. I’ve been on an array of medications, but marijuana is the only one that calms the spasms and allows me to get some sleep at night. Unfortunately, I don’t have any way to get ahold of this medicine these days, and if I tried to grow it I would face eviction since I live in public housing. Massachusetts needs to support medical marijuana legislation so people like me will have safe access to their medicine.
