UNIVERSITY SYSTEMS AND A
TRANSPORTATION PACKAGE
INCLUDING LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT.
WE LEARNED WHAT MINNESOTANS
WHO ARE USING MEDICAL MARIJUANA
TO RELIEVE PAIN AND REDUCE, SEE
, SEIZURE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT
WORKING.
THE BIGGEST DRAW BACK WAS THE
COST.
73% FOUND THE COST TO BE
UNAFFORDABLE.
MEANWHILE MEDICAL MARIJUANA
MANUFACTURERS ARE OPENING MORE
DISTRIBUTION CENTERS SO
PATIENTS DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE SO
FAR.
THIS HAS BEEN A STRUGGLE FOR
MY FAMILY.
IT'S SUCH A BLESSING TO HAVE
THIS IN MY HOMETOWN.
HE WAS DRIVING TWO HOURS TO
FILL HER MEDICAL MARIJUANA
PRESCRIPTION UNTIL TODAY WHEN
LEAF LINE LABS SAINT CLOUD CARE
CENTER OPENED.
IT'S GIVEN MY LIFE BACK.
IT'S HELPED TREMENDOUSLY WITH
PAIN ISSUES.
IT HAS HELPED WHERE I CAN FEEL
LIKE EATING THROUGH THE CHEMO.
WHERE BEFORE, I COULD NOT HOLD
ANYTHING DOWN.
I WASN'T EVEN HUNGRY.
DR. STAR IS THE CHIEF
MEDICAL OFFICER AT LEAF LINE
LABS.
ONE OF THE TWO STATE APPROVED
MEDICAL MARIJUANA
MANUFACTURERS.
IN JULY, CENTERS IN SAINT PAUL
WILL OPEN.
EVERYDAY WE SEE PATIENTS
THAT COME THROUGH AND HAVE
SMILES ON THEIR FACES BECAUSE
THEIR LIFE IS BACK IN THEIR
HANDS.
THEY HAVE IMPROVED IN TERMS OF
THEIR SYMPTOMS.
THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVED.
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
ELIGIBLE TO BUY MEDICAL
MARIJUANA WILL INCREASE IN
AUGUST.
THAT'S WHEN CHRONIC PAIN
BECOMES A STATE OF CONDITION.
WHEN YOU SEE THE SUFFERING
GO AWAY, OF COURSE IT'S
POWERFUL.
MANY CHRONIC PAIN SUFFERERS
ARE TAKING PAINKILLERS THAT ARE
HIGHLY ADDICTIVE OPIOIDS.
I'D LIKE TO SEE EVERY
PRACTITIONER BECOME
KNOWLEDGEABLE AND RECOGNIZE
THIS IS A SAFER ALTERNATIVE
THAN THE OPIATES WE'RE USING
NOW.
PATIENTS ARE SPENDING
BETWEEN 200 AND UP TO $500 A
MONTH ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA
PRESCRIPTIONS.
THE LATEST NUMBERS SHOW 559
