Jeffrey
Stefanoff
Jeffrey Stefanoff has been an active advocate for the legalization
of medical marijuana since he began smoking in 1979 to relieve the
suffering caused by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and severe back
damage incurred during time spent in the armed forces. While
conventional medications proved entirely ineffective or made him
feel still more sick, marijuana provided him with substantive
relief. He has since served nine months in a Substance Abuse Felony
Punishment Program in Texas after he was convicted of growing
marijuana in his home in 2000. Upon his release, Jeffrey was
transferred to a halfway house and then put on probation for one
year. Jeffrey currently resides in Texas, and remains a passionate
supporter of the movement to legalize medical marijuana. |
