If President Obama were HIV positive like me, he'd understand the need for medicinal marijuana.

Simply put, I eat food because of med pot.

I am HIV+, and am living a healthy life with it so far, med-free.

Eating a highly nutritious diet is CRUCIAL to treating HIV. I'd likely be sick or my HIV would be rapidly advancing without my appetite for nutritious food.

I am walking, talking proof that President Obama is WRONG when he claims that there is little or no med value from pot.

If President Obama could walk in my shoes and suffer from the effects of chronic HIV-related nausea without med pot, he'd see the medicinal value of med pot.

Thousands of HIV'ers benefit daily from med pot. It's how we help keep ourselves ALIVE.

LIFE is the value from med pot.

It's that simple.

Pres Obama, YOU'RE WRONG!

Edit: for the record, I've been poz since 2006

1. Obama pre-medicated with pot

when he was in high school and college. He can now be cavalier with the lives of those, like you, who suffer and find relief in MMJ. Why? Because he got his, now screw you!

Obama is a big, ol' giant hypocrite!

3. Yup, sad that he's taken on this "Do as I say, not as I do." mentality since his election. nt

2. A shame President Obama isn't someone who "gets" cannabis

I know others like that who choose to "lump" cannabis into the same category as heroin, crack, meth, etc.

But cannabis is not like the others. It is not the problem -- in fact it is just may be the answer to many of today's woes.

4. Fully agree and it is a real shame. I expected better from him. It's why I voted for him twice. nt

5. I forgot to add..

I fully agree with your comment about pot is not like other chemical drugs, meth, coke etc. It's disgusting that a plant that grows in nature can be classed as an illegal drug like meth.
