COLUMN ACCURATELY DESCRIBED WEAKNESS OF CURRENT MEDICAL MARIJUANA LEGISLATION

Bravo to David Harris for his Sept. 18 Burlington Post column Patients 
exempt from law for marijuana possession still can't make legal buys.

Nations around the world (including nine states in the U.S.) have made 
marijuana legal for medical use, but none provide a safe and legal method 
of distribution.

The apparent impotence of legislators to step up and establish such a 
system is puzzling.

Everyone agrees, from the Canadian Senate committee to the voters 
themselves, that medical marijuana must be made available to suffering 
patients who need it.

So what are they waiting for?
