“I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?”
Willie Nelson
“Instead of taking five or six of the prescriptions, I decided to go a natural route and smoke marijuana.”
