:( Praying for peace and comfort for Collin and his family.

I know that Collin has drawn much attention from our community and that the Wehr's are grateful for everyone's support. But you are writing the wrong things about this young man. He will never be told how much longer he will be on this earth. Let's celebrate his life,and pray for their strength, not bring it to weeks.

I read your article updating Collin Wehr's condition with sadness, but also dismay. This lovely boy is very much alive and should continue to be celebrated in that way. The upcoming prayer service is a way for the community to be present for him and his family in a manner that best supports them on this journey. With all due respect to your news cycle, his parents should be leading the way, not The Patch nor, by extension, the social network. This difficult time demands far more editorial sensitivity than shown.

Thank you Karen for expressing the feelings that I'm sure many of us have with the approach that the Northbrook Patch has taken.

I am a survivor of cancer.I was 8yrs old and there is 2 things I owe it all to...My grandmother and Marijuana..My grandmother gave me marijuana at 8.it instantly helped.no more getting sick,you actually get the feeling you wanna eat,..2 things help a person through chemo and radiation and that's Protien and Spirit....I ad to remain quiet in fear that I would be taken from my parents..Now as an adult with 3 children I speak loudly and frequently about how marijuana helped me....Look up Rick Sompsons Hemp Oil...60 grams taken over a 60 period of time is known to cure most major cancers..Look up some of the blogs people have put up and documented their treatment...Something your doctor is blocked Federally from doing.Federal government prohibits the documentation of patients and marijuana by Dr.s..it puts them under the research without a license charge..It is your child,your family..it is their laws....Lock me in a cage,torture me,chop my fingers off and I will still never say marijuana didn't help me...It did...I know what it is like to bend over and tie your shoes and get sick because your reflux muscle is too weak to hole anything down.loss of hair,giving my family a kiss at night and going to bed thinking I might not wake up...

I have a friend who's mom had brain cancer and we gave her marijuana candy..That day we gave it to her in the morning she had to be carried to the bathroom twice..Finally her son talked her into using the candy and told her as I did it helped me..2 hours after she took the candy my friend was in his room and heard the dishes..He come out of the room and saw his mom standing there doing the dishes!!!!....Understand? Doing the dishes!! She looked right at him and said ..." If I can feel like is the whole time I am doing treatments then I will be just fine" as she was smiling from ear to ear....pleases do not ignore how marijuana can help...You do not have to smoke it,you can eat it,or use the OIL.....

Praying for you bud
