Hardy Macia, 2012 House Candidate With Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Makes Medical Marijuana Plea
Hardy Macia, 2012 House Candidate With Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Makes Medical Marijuana Plea
Hardy Macia, a former Libertarian Party candidate for Congress who's struggling with cancer, posted a video online pleading with New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan (D) over medical marijuana, Patch reports.
Macia says he became active in the medical marijuana debate a decade ago because of a paraplegic cousin who was in a car accident. The issue became personal in August 2012, when Macia was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
Macia, who said he has one to two months to live, said he wanted to address Hassan's "balking at passing this medical marijuana bill, just because a bunch of police union chiefs are getting up your crotch about it."
