Q-6 News talked with one man who is in the middle of a marijuana battle.
Sam Diana is confined to a wheelchair because he has multiple sclerosis.
"I wake up in the morning hating myself for having this. I get out of bed and fall
down," says Diana.
He has used prescription drugs for his multiple sclerosis but he says nothing works
like marijuana. "It helps me better than a sleeping pill and I
don’t wake up with a drug hangover."
Diana has lived with multiple sclerosis for 32 years and has been in a wheelchair the
last three years.
He is awaiting sentencing in federal court for a marijuana conviction.
