5. It's a lifesaver for many people with chronic pain.

It does not have the risks or side effect profile that conventional opioids do. It's also the only option left for many people who are no longer able to get prescription opioids, apart from turning to the street.

It's also a safe and effective way for people to get themselves off of addictive substances without replacing them with equally or more addictive substances like methadone and suboxone.

I'm personally experimenting with different strains to try to find something that will help with my chronic, treatment resistant depression, and my severe chronic anxiety.

I guess I'll probably, reluctantly sign the petition, though I really don't want to do anything that implies that the Peetus has any legitimacy.
