Tonight 8pmET Guest Amy MellenJoin Al , Alicia and Amy when they discuss Amy's work as a Medical Marijuana patient from Oregon.Amy Mellen is a cannabis newbie, just since 2014, and she got off over 40 pills a day. She was the "good" girl growing up, no drinking, weed, partying, nothing; didn't even get drunk until the age of 41. She began Percocet for hormonal migraines in 1997, but her real nightmare began when she woke up with hard LEGAL drugs pumping in her veins, after a near-death rollover accident in 2006. After losing 10 yrs of her life in a pharma fog, a drug made her blackout behind the wheel, while driving on the highway, that's when she turned to cannabis.She is now a medical patient originally from Oregon and moved to Maryland, and has her MD card. Amy has lobbied for Cannabis on Capitol Hill, spoke at licensing hearings, shared her story at educational meetings around the state, and much more. Al Jazeera America did a wonderful documentary on her journey:Part 1: https://youtu.be/VpEQaa6jzUU Part
