28 years ago a Florida patient began receiving prerolled and packaged cannabis cigarettes from a United States federal government program run by the FDA. The cigarettes, produced for the government at the University of Mississippi are supplied to Irv Rosenfeld at a dosage of seven cured ounces every 25 days.

“Without therapeutic cannabis to alleviate my medical condition I would not be a productive member of society; with my medicine I am a able husband, good neighbor, working stockbroker and volunteer at Shake-A-Leg, a sailing therapy agency for the handicapped.”

Irv and three other federal patients were thoroughly examined by medical professionals in 2001 over a three day period and found in excellent condition for their age and ailment.

Irv is positive the cannabis is his salvation. He should know.

On November 24, 2010 Irv smoked his 120,000th medical cannabis cigarette.
