My son Peter Benson, a quadriplegic confined to a wheelchair as a result of an accident, is a licensed medical marijuana user and caregiver. He uses marijuana to suppress muscle spasms.---some so severe
that he can't even hold his young daughter in his arms. Governor Raimondo's outrageous proposal will force patients (like my son) to pay as much as $350 per plant.
This new proposal will make it harder for him (and all patients and their families) to cope with his/her injury. There must be better ways to balance the state's budget without making it harder for patients (like my son) to endure the pain that will surely follow if the Govenor's proposal is made law.
I ask all members of the Rhode Island Assembly to "hold this bill for further study." Furthermore, I ask them to seek other alternatives that will improve their quality of life rather than create more hardship.
