1. Ann from Alameda, California. She sings, she creates songs. Since childhood, she has been suffering from excruciating back pain after suffering an injury. Smokes marijuana daily.

"After a car accident, my back does not give me rest. People who are afraid of cannabis drink the strongest painkillers every day. But this chemistry does much more harm to the body, and it is already weakened. Here in America, as soon as something starts to help, it is immediately declared harmful. And marijuana helps me, it puts me in a euphoric state."

5. Jen Sprye, Oakland, California. Diagnosis: lupus.

"I was homeless. I had nowhere to live, and my dog Luna was always with me, and they wouldn't let me go with her. How would I live without my pet?! And we spent the night on the street.
