I suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD. It was hard for me to breathe. My doctor gave me an inhaler. That worked at first. Then he gave me another inhaler. I went through inhaler after inhaler. I was still having difficulty breathing. Then one morning I misplaced my inhaler. A week later I noticed I was breathing better. (I had started taking cannabis). I realized that the cannabis was a better medicine for me. - Diana Shannon 58, of San Jose, California - The Nation
