I am a 66-year-old man who has worked hard all my life.
Three years ago, I lost my left leg four inches above the knee. A short time later, I started having what is called phantom pains. Pain from a part of you that is no longer there, but your mind feels as well as you. Horrible pain like you have never felt.
I told my doctor, and he gave me a medical marijuana prescription. I tried it to see if it could help. It has taken away the worst of the pain.
But you, the mayor and Kent City Council, are saying no the people that elected you. How and what gives you so much self-power? It’s not the people. How did you decide you are the rulers over the people? You are elected and also can be removed.
You need to reconsider your thoughts.
