KALAMAZOO -- The atomic explosions off remote islands in the South Pacific seemed to turn night into day.

They also turned Martin Chilcutt into a marijuana user.

Chilcutt said the drug has helped him to ease the pain he says dates back to his exposure to radiation during a 1956 U.S. government project testing nuclear and thermonuclear weapons.

A state ballot proposal could allow voters in November to decide whether Chilcutt's measures to self-medicate should be legal in Michigan.

but the helping drug tch is greatly reduce.it would be better if anyone that suffers back pain etc. could grow their own.couple of hits on a bowl takes pain away for about 6 hours and doesn't have high results.
