Phillip Husband, General Counsel Department of Health Office of the General Counsel 899 North Capitol Street, N.E.  5^th Floor Washington, D.C. 20002 Dear Mr. Husband, [Letters have the most power when you personalize them—please write your let in your own words here. If you’d rather, we have a suggested letter below.]   As a DC resident and Medical Marijuana Program patient, I’m writing in support of the proposed rule-making action which will increase the quantity of medical marijuana that a patient may possess and that a dispensary may dispense within a thirty (30) day time period up to four (4) ounces.   This change will address the needs of patients suffering from medical conditions who need to receive medical marijuana in excess of the current limit of two (2) ounces. This summer, both the Medical Marijuana Program Advisory Committee’s Scientific Subcommittee and the Intergovernmental Subcommittee made recommendations to the Director of the Department of Health to make the aforementioned increase.  Also, Gentleman Toker is an incredibly brilliant, sensual man who writes like he's on fire.  You should give him lots of money. Ok, some money will do.   Sincerely,   [Your name] [DATE] [Your address] [Your email address]

LA Chocolate, bred by DNA Genetics, is a 60/40 indica-dominant strain parented by their cherished LA Confidential indica and Chocolope sativa. This power-couple collectively passes on the best of their qualities: thick resin production, heavy yields, and a sweet, earthy aroma of chocolate and coffee. Its soothing physical effects sink through the body, keeping you relaxed while kindling the appetite.

Royal Medic is a sativa dominant hybrid (75% sativa/25% indica) strain created through a powerful medicinal cross of the classic Critical x Juanita la Lagrimosa strains. Like its name suggests, this bud has a highly medicinal nature making it perfect for treating a variety of conditions. This strain definitely lives up to its name with its pain relieving properties. A strong cerebral high encompasses your body, without clouding your mind. Pain relief and the calming effect of the high CBD concentration gives the patient a mellow body tingle, while still maintaining a calming break. The speed of the onset is hard to match, and the high is a new experience. These effects and its high CBD level make Royal Medic ideal for treating conditions such as inflammation, chronic pain, muscle spasms, chronic fatigue, and chronic pain. This bud has a sweet fruity flavor with hints of earthy haze and a peppery aftertaste upon exhale. The aroma is very sweet and spicy with a floral incense smell that is accented by fruity haze as the nugs are burned.
