The man didn't even have a current doctor's recommendation, just an oral approval. Why doesn't a doctor have to write a prescription in order for a patient to buy marijuana? If it is indeed a medicine, it should be treated as one. It should be dispensed by a doctor or pharmacist. I am not allowed to grow, cultivate and distribute my own penicillin. Greg Brown was smoking pot because he had a backache and an upset stomach. That describes about 90 percent of us 90 percent of the time. I wonder how the world would function if we all decided to get high whenever we had acid indigestion. Stacia Phelps Santa Cruz - --- MAP posted-by: Alex
