GATEWAY TO HELL

THE author of the letter calling marijuana a "gateway" drug is living 
in a fool's paradise, although if it were she who was battling cancer 
or AIDS, this paradise would quickly turn into hell without the 
relief cannabis provides ("Marijuana still a gateway drug," Examiner 
letters, Nov. 29).

I wish that she and others like her who know nothing about marijuana 
would first spend an hour with a medical marijuana patient before 
casting judgment.
