MARIJUANA IS MEDICINE, by S. Heumann. Hereby released to Public Domain.

How sick do you have to be
 to find compassion in society?
Marijuana is medicine
  for anorexics getting way too thin.
If I have asthma, must I choke
 while you forbid my therapeutic toke?
Glaucoma can make you blind
 while drug-war hypocrites suppress the Kind.

How sick do you have to be
 to get compassion from society?
Cancer patients' chronic pain
 can be dissociated in the brain;
They can keep medications down
 if they can smoke the safest drug around
And even tolerate radiation
 with a little tolerance from this great nation.

Governor Wilson, with your veto pen,
 you know where to stick it and we'll tell you when.
If sending messages is your concern,
 here's one that you've been much too slow to learn:
Marijuana is medicine,
 the jails are fat and the schools are thin.
Forcing patients to break your laws
 serves no political or moral cause.
Marijuana's Medicine!
