GET FACTS STRAIGHT ON QUESTION 9 Re: Erin Breen's Sept. 23 letter: Opponents of Question 9 would rather engage in personal attacks than talk about the issues. Breen's charge that I am from Washington, D.C., is inaccurate. I have lived in Nevada longer than I ever lived in Washington, D.C. It's time for opponents to quit mudslinging and start talking about the issues. Question 9 allows responsible adults to possess small amounts of marijuana in the privacy of a home or under the care of a doctor. Under current law, medical marijuana patients are forced to go to drug dealers to get their medicine. Question 9 will ensure that cancer patients and other seriously ill people can legally obtain medical marijuana without endangering their lives every time they go to a drug dealer to get their medicine.
